Dragon Quest IX delayed until 2008
Dragon Quest IX, the textbook definition of "surefire sales phenomenon" (we hear sociologists are still studying its effects on modern civilizations), has been pushed back from its 2007 Japanese release until sometime next year, according to IGN.
Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada had previously said that Dragon Quest IX would be released after some remakes, later revealed to be DQIV, V and VI. Given that, and the general lack of information of the title thus far, we're not too surprised by the delay. DQIX was not going to make a 2007 release outside of Japan anyways, but we're still hoping to see it come to North America and PAL regions before 2009.

That pretty much sums it up. But I suppose a delay is usually a good thing, as it allows for more time to fix critical mistakes and generally improve gameplay and other key points.

Miyamoto: A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.
Phoenix Wright: Buy my game or you get no more suckerz!

"Iwata had previously said..."
I think you mean Yoichi Wada, SquareEnix CEO, not Iwata, Nintendo President.
Almack64 @ Aug 27th 2007 4:13PM
Ross you really do need to fix that Iwata reference.
