    [​IMG]Gameinformer talk about Dragon Quests history in the west and how Square Enix is trying to help it take off here.

    It's entirely possible that Dragon Quest faces the same fate it always has in North America, continuing to foster a niche but dedicated fanbase but never making a splash with the larger audience. However, this time things could change with various aforementioned factors changing the playing field. Speaking with the development team in the ramp up to XI's launch has shown me a positive and hopeful attitude about the series' future in the West. The developers honestly look at this as a new beginning for the franchise - a chance to appeal to a new, modern audience alongside its diehard fans.

    The last few years have been spent slowly reintroducing the Dragon Quest brand to Western gamers, with Square Enix publishing mobile ports of earlier entries and spin-off games such as Dragon Quest Heroes and Dragon Quest Builders. It helps that Nintendo has continued to bring over the remakes, such as the much desired VII and VIII for the 3DS.
