November 15, 2005 - A major shot in the next generation system wars could end up being fired at next year's E3. Reuters news service reveals today that Square Enix will solidify its plans for Dragon Quest IX and Final Fantasy XIII in time for the May show.

Square Enix President Yoichi Wada, in an interview conducted by Reuters on the 14th, disclosed to the news service that the possibility exists for Square Enix to offer the titles on both the X360 and PS3. "We plan on solidifying our plans by E3 to offer both on the PS3 and Xbox 360, or place both on just one [system]," Wada explained.

Getting the main numbered entries in the Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest series would be a major boost to Microsoft in Japan. Square Enix has previously announced that the Final Fantasy series will come to the PS3 but has not made any mention of Dragon Quest.

Dragon Quest on the 360 would rock!

I've always wanted to play one of the current-gen Dragon Quest titles. I can't because I sold my PS2... but I hope I'll be able to play it on the 360.

I could give two shits about Final Fantasy, though, as per usual...

That'll certainly give the 360 a dose of well-needed credibility in Japan. Consider the following evidence of consumer apathy:

Hmm. I first caught wind of this photo on xbox-scene.com, citing joystiq. Turns out to be directly from CheapyD's cellphone. Who'da thunk it?

I truly wish that these tickets said "STUPID AMERICAN SHITBOX," and the thought of that makes me giggle.

Unfortunate, but typical of the xenophobic Japanese nonetheless.

In the meantime, let's focus on getting Final Fantasy XII out sometime in the next 18 fucking years.

I hope that Square realizes that American fans love Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest just as much. Fuck Japan.

they are probably waiting to see how the X360 do in Japan. If games like Blue Dragon really do really well, they might consider.
