Editing Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (section)

===Release===
The initial release date in Spring of 1995 was delayed over a year, Heartbeat wanting to further develop their game. The game was eventually shown at Shoshinkai in November of 1995. ''Dragon Quest VI'' was released a few weeks later on December 9, with the very steep price of 11,400 yen (roughly over 100 U.S. dollars before inflation adjustments). The game went on to sell over 3.20 million copies, becoming the highest-selling title in the series at the time by a wide margin. Since then, in Japan, the game actually made the news in 2005, when a Japanese student threatened another student over an argument about what ''Dragon Quest'' is the best, the student doing the threatening favoring ''Dragon Quest VI''.

====North America====
On February 12, 2011 [[Yuji Horii]] visited Palo Alto, California for a special Nintendo launch event at Gamestop, where he signed autographs for the first 50 in attendance.  Fans were able to purchase the game two days before the official launch date, affectionately referred to by Nintendo as ''Valenslime Day''.

Nintendo also held a trivia contest via Twitter, with the winner receiving a trip to the launch event to be the first in line to meet Horii.

Best Buy also had special events to promote ''Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation'' and {{DQ9}} on February 26, 2011 and March 5, 2011.
