Dragon Quest Heroes was revealed by Square enix at the Sony conference right before TGS 2014 started, as a PS4/ PS3 exclusive title (as far as we know).
A trailer was then shown and it appears to be a blend of a Dragon Quest game with a Musou game (like Dynasty Warriors), so not technically a "real" DQ game, but it definitely gave hope to see the mainline Dragon Quest games returning to the Playstation ecosystem.
An exclusive PS4 bundle was also shown, in Silver Satin, with a special (removable) USB cache character.
It was tentatively announced at the time for 2015, so everyone thought ""maybe" fall 2015 if all goes well.
Nope.
It's Q1 2015 already confirmed, with the specific date of
Febdruary 26th 2014 in Japan.

Now, this gives hope to see the game not too far in 2015 for NA and Europe, but on the other hand we do not even have a confirmation that the game is even supposed to be coming to the west either...
