Everybody's a little bit racist

Folks, if you're like me, you're itching to go get a copy of Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS. However, the folks at SquareEnix are a little uneasy lately. According to this translated interview, Yuji Horii, who worked on Dragon Quest and Chrono Trigger, had this to say about Turn-based RPGs nowadays

"I sometimes wonder why the U.S. reviewers are more negative towards turn-based battle system. Real-time play has fun aspects too, but for this type of game there is more strategy that comes with a turn-based system. Also, you can play with other people in this game and decide what actions to take together.

Now come on Yuji Horii. That's not fair to say the least. If what you said was true, Final Fantasy XIII would have bombed harder than 1.8 million units. I mean, its not like it sold worst than FFXII in America. Heck, it's not like he has a thing with Elder Scroll and....

Oblivion. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. I like that a lot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Say it ain't so Yuji Horii. Say you didn't betray your Japanese RPG fan community for Elder Scrolls IV
