Dragon Quest VIII has been announced to be released November 22nd and will feature a demo of FFXII, so all the more reason to get it ^_^. It'll be the first Dragon Quest game to be rendered in 3d, which should be interesting, while we'll all finally be able to see how FFXII is coming along and if it'll be enough to show everyone that it's going to live up to it's expectations.
