Longtime gamer, Dragon Quest fan, misses out on localized DS game

Edith Jeter was a huge Dragon Quest fan. In fact, she actually wrote in to Nintendo Power after Enix closed down, expressing her concern that the sixth game in the series would not be localized:

“I’m now 76 years old. I may not live long enough to see Dragon Quest VI unless someone takes action soon.” – Edith Jeter, Puyallup, WA

The letter above was published roughly fifteen years ago. While Dragon Quest VI never made it out of Japan on the SNES, the game is finally releasing for the DS in just a couple of weeks. But, sadly, Edith won’t have a chance to play the title. She passed away earlier this month at the age of 91.

Gamers have been leaving Edith some heartwarming messages on an online memorial, such as the following:

“Your letter in Nintendo Power Volume 82 was the first thing I thought of when I heard DQ6 was finally coming to America. I never knew you, but you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.” – Joshua Kanary, Mentor, Ohio
