I wasn’t too irked by the news yesterday thatDragon Quest IXwould be delayed due to crippling bugs— after all, I wasn’t expecting to see the game until late this year anyway, butKotakuis reporting that the delay may affect the time frame ofFinal Fantasy XIII, and that’s something that does disturb me.
Square Enix president Yoichi Wada commented on the possible effects of the Dragon Quest delay, saying:
“The next term’s schedule hasn’t been fixed yet. Presently, I cannot say what kind of effect we will experience from moving theDragon Quest IXlaunch from March to July. I cannot say there won’t be an effect.”
Wada also told Japanese news siteIT Mediathat there was a possibility that theDragon Quest IXdelay could effectFinal Fantasy XIII.After seeingthe most recent trailer, I went from not paying too much attention to a salivating, quivering junkie in need of a fix, so this is very unpleasant news to me, but considering it hasn’t been confirmed yet I guess I’ll save my upset until Square says it’s for sure.
