Gosh darn it Square Enix, you nearly had it all. Dragon Quest Heroes by itself was a quick, memorable, and easy name to write a dozen times over, and now you've gone and ruined it by giving the action role-playing game a gigantic subtitle for its Western release.
Sure, the Japanese version's got a big old sub as well, but did we really need this unnecessary burden? It sounds petty, we know, and to an extent, it is, but you really need to realise that writing Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below every single time a new trailer comes out or new screenshots are released is just going to make our admittedly cushy lives that much more strenuous. At least it rhymes, we suppose.
Furthermore, we'll have to go and change the title on the site's game page now, too. God have mercy on us all.

7.8 - Too much words?
Ha! It only took me 4 tries to say that out loud
DQH:TWTWATBB
Even the abbreviation has too many letters.
Don't they always do this though? DQ8 on PS2 (the only one I've ever played) is Journey of the Cursed King. I always just call it DQ8 though.
BTW - I am aware this is a joke piece, but I'm also aware my reply makes it look like I'm taking this way too seriously also.
I quite like the name! XD
@rjejr
"TWTWATBB" I am pretty sure I saw that on my TV while watching 60's Batman
I wonder if any of them realised that from now on, every time the game is mentioned in the abbreviated form, it will have the word "TWAT" slap bang in the middle of it. Great marketing...
@SteveButler2210 I've changed my mind, this is a great subtitle.
The worlds tree woes??? Who gets paid to write this.
Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla feels your pain.
@Melucine - It really wants to be on Batman, doesn't it? THWAPH! WARMPH! TWTWATBB!
@SteveButler2210 - That's pretty funny, after I typed it my mind read the pronunciation as "that twat b#tch". Didn't realized people still used it, thought it was a middle school 70's thing.
At least the game is coming to the west.
