Square Enix CEO Yosuke Matsuda sat down with French website Gamekult for a lengthy chat. Among the various topics discussed was the company’s handling of Dragon Quest overseas.

Matsuda acknowledged that a number of Dragon Quest games were not released in France – and in turn, the west as a whole. However, he added that the Dragon Quest team has some ideas about how to make the series successful overseas. He asked fans to look forward to upcoming announcements and to a “bright future” for the series.

Square Enix actually ended up announcing Dragon Quest Heroes for North America and Europe earlier today. But you do have to wonder if we still have any sort of chance of seeing any of franchise’s other recent releases here. Dragon Quest VII, Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D, Dragon Quest Monsters 2, Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime 3, and Dragon Quest X have all stayed in Japan.
