I haven't seen any US release date for this; not even a "TBA".

It hasn't been released for a long time. I'd say have some patience. I'm more worried about why Dragon Quest 5 hasn't been announced yet.

I concur whole heartedly.
It would be nice perhaps if Shonen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon and DQ5(PS2remake) could be released in a double pack, reminiscent of earlier Square days.

I would LOVE a double pack of V and VI, which we never got over here, for the PS2-unfortunately Final Fantasy is more popular in the US, so I doubt we'll see either one.

BTW, I meant Dragon Quest 5 Remake.

Yeah, I know about that one, but, again, given the greater popularity of the Final Fantasy series, I doubt we'll see it. Heck, we never even got VI on the SNES.

I think he confused it with IV which was called FF III in the US.

Just to clear the confusion up for folks who decided not to at least include series acronyms, US has every FF release but no DQV and DQVI.

Hee hee, I love typos and their ilk.

In the U.S., FF4 was released as FF2 (modeled largely, though not exactly, after the "easy type" version of the game released in Japan). FF6, on the other hand, was released as FF3. FF5 never made it on the SNES, though it was eventually on one of the FF double packs released on the PS1.

Now we're missing only the real FF3.
