Yuji Hori, the Dragon Quest series' creator, has stated in an interview with Ruliweb that a PlayStation related announcement may be on the cards. Kindly translated to English by Gematsu, Hori says "I can't say anything right now, but something might be announced before long", when asked whether another mainline Dragon Quest release will ever find its way onto one of Sony's systems.
It's a promising nudge from the franchise creator, then, but Hori could really be hinting at anything. We already know that Dragon Quest Heroes is set to launch in the West at some point later this year, while Dragon Quest Heroes II was revealed back in April. Meanwhile, the superb Dragon Quest VIII is getting a Nintendo 3DS port, and to be honest, we certainly wouldn't mind seeing it remastered for the PlayStation 4 or Vita, either.

I still have DQVIII on the PS2 so something new in the franchise for PS4 would be most welcome to me. I'm sure Heroes will be enough to be getting on with in the meantime though.
If they started off with well-made PSN ports of the best-to-date remakes of earlier titles in the series, I'd be happy with even that much...especially since the most recent versions of 1-3 are currently locked on Mobile in the West. barf I feel it's best not to get TOO excited just yet, so I think that's a feasible enough first goal.
vita versions of Dragon Quest I-X would be nice
a man can dream can't he?
For some reason, I'd love to see Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime and Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker re-released either on the 3DS or PS3/PS4. I found them fun to play, but I only borrowed them and now I can't find them.
I'm still angry that SE never bothered to release the remakes of DQ Monsters and DQ VII for the 3DS on the West, and now the announcement of VIII for the 3DS just adds salt to the wound. I sure hope we get a numbered release for the PS4. Besides that, I would even settle for a PS1/PS2 Classics release of the original DQ VII and DQ VIII on the PSN.
Dragon Quest X port to PS4 and Vita with crossplay.
Calling it.
That would be bloody marvellous. I know it's a long stretch but how about re-releasing the whole damn series on PlayStation platforms?
