Coming from a Verge interview with Square-Enix's Ryota Aomi...
“The Japanese text in Dragon Quest is extremely appealing, but I feel that the first few localizations of the games did not fully capitalize on and draw out this aspect.”
Coming from Square-Enix's Noriyoshi Fujimoto...
“If we could pinpoint the defining obstacle to the series becoming a global hit overseas, we would gladly take on the challenge.”
Final Fantasy had its big moment with Final Fantasy VII, and ever since then, the brand has been quite huge in NA/EU. Dragon Quest is yet to have that moment. If Square-Enix localizes Dragon Quest XI, could that be the turning point for the series?
