UPDATE 1: Pre-orders for Dragon Quest VII and Dragon Quest VIII are now live at Amazon.
UPDATE 2: This wasn’t just for North American audiences. Both games were announced for European audiences as well, both carrying the same names as the North American versions. This will mark the first time that European gamers will be able to play Dragon Quest VII as they missed out on Dragon Warrior VII for the original PlayStation console. Both games are expected in 2016 for the region.
