Expected. Next fiscal year will be pretty big for Square-Enix. I hope that all of their titles will do well.
I mean, it's February and it's not like they were gonna announce either game would release in a month... So yeah, hardly groundbreaking news. Hopefully DQ11 is late summer though I could see early Fall as perhaps more likely.
They have a lot of titles slated for this year. Wonder if something slips

Kh3
Dq11
Octopath
Tomb raider
Dq builders 2
World end with you remix
Wonder if they slip in a ff spinoff somewhere or a remaster

i really hope that DQ 11 will have a similar sucess story in the west like Persona, Nier or MH did.
I want more DQ Games in the West and on my Ps4/Ps5

In Japan, both and also 3DS (Switch version is kinda MIA tho...) in the West I don't believe we know yet
No official word yet. All we know is that the Playstation Youtube channel reposted the Western release announcement video.
They can take their time with it, it's obvious from the demo that Square Enix has something extremely special in their hands. Plus, it's not like the Switch is hurting for JRPGs right now.

This seems like non-news to me. No one thought either was coming before March, and "in FY18 or after" sounds like the vaguest time-frame ever. I'm really looking forward to both though!
I just want localized DQXI on 3DS and PS4. Honestly don't care about the Switch version, until they show it.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Thread title is misleading.
Me too. Not holding my breath for a localization of the Switch version, if it ever materializes.
I just wish they said... anything about dqxi at this point. The DQ Twitter said they'd talk more about it late 2017. It is now February in 2018 and nothing has been said :/. I've played a lot of the Japanese version already, but I want more info on the western version already :(
Of all versions to skip, you think it's the one on the system that's breaking records? Bold strategy, Cotton. 3DS version is the one that's up in the air. Nintendo might publish it (and the Switch game, I guess). How SE will handle timing with the PS4 version, I don't know
I would totally believe a summer / fall release for Octopath, and I'd be totally happy with that.
New title "Square Enix: DQ XI and Octopath Traveler are not coming out before April 2018."
Same here. At least I am glad, I can finish NNKII without DQXI intervening!
I'd say the version that doesn't exist yet is the one that's up in the air. And it doesn't matter what records the Switch breaks, there's still a lot more 3DS systems out there than Switch systems. And DQ doesn't sell well in the west to begin with regardless of how many systems are sold.
While the bolded is true and there are around 70 million 3DS units out there it should be noted that a lot of people have moved on from the 3DS which can be seen in the last financial report ("[O]verall software sales declined to 31.25 million units (33% decrease on a year-on-year basis"). The 3DS software sales are about to collapse this year and with only two 1st party titles scheduled for this year (only one for Europe) the 3DS should decline even more.
But the Switch is the system that people are buying games for and the audience that the Switch is going to accumulate over time is going to more active than the one that the 3DS had ever was, if it isn't already. Skipping out on the Switch version over the 3DS version wouldn't make sense, especially now when the series has a chance to reach a wider audience like the likes of MHW, XB2, and P5
DQXI in the weest need room to breath - they arent dropping it as a Holiday release or this close to KH3.
I could see a late summer release happening.
3DS software sales have been on a decline. it doesnt matter how many are out there if no one's buying anything for it. and if DQ never sold well, then there's no point in the PS4 version either, is there?
