ESRB rates Dragon Quest IV, virtually seals U.S. release



The apparently unassuming graphic above, freshly extracted from the ESRB's site, has some pretty serious implications for all of us.

Most obviously, it means that -- yaaaaaay -- Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen has been classified in North America, confirming recent suspicions about certain trademarks. Barring nuclear fallout/meteor strikes/some bizarre volte-face from Square Enix, we're almost certainly getting the game!

It also means that we'll be taking a break from blogging in the next hour or so to go outside, shoot our pistols in the air, and randomly hug strangers. And finally, it means that we'll be buying another damn Square Enix game in the coming months. Seriously, Square, can we not just pay you a flat fee directly from our bank accounts each month? Would probably be simpler.

A suspicious trademark appears! Command?

This is way speculative, but a new trademark registration by Square Enix may be a sign that the Dragon Quest IV remake is finally near. At the very least, it's a sign that something might be on the way, for some system. The trademark covers the phrase "Chapters of the Chosen."

A Siliconera commenter cleverly remarked that it would be a great subtitle for Dragon Quest IV, which is broken up into individual chapters telling separate characters' stories. The original Japanese subtitle is "Michibikareshi Monotachi" ("The Guided People," or as Wikipedia has it, "Those Who are Shown the Way").

If that's what this is, it would be a pretty strong indicator that Dragon Quest IV is being planned for U.S. release. Other evidence to support that theory includes the existing translation found on the card and Square Enix's interest in money.
