Dragon Quest X Online Launches 'All In One' Switch Package This October (Japan)

I will hold out hope... for any version that gets an official localization. I've been waiting since the launch of the original Wii version, I'll continue to wait for another decade, if need be.

I really want both to release in the west. If only for the sake of playing a game that originally came out for the Wii of all platforms.

Please, Nintendo and Squarenix...make it happen!

They are look cute in Chibi form.
So, the game have different jobs to choose, I wonder if the job choice will permanent or we can reset like FF XII TZA.
The skill mapping looked like from Ratchet & Clank Into the Nexus (even the diagram).

I'm still holding out hope for English language support, even if there's no western release.

I've never played a Dragon Quest game. Am I missing out?

@GrailUK They're very good if you like your RPGs old-school and grindy. Lots of charming characters, creatures, and dialog, too.

@GrailUK If you like turn based RPGs, they're the cream of the crop. They all play pretty much the same save for some key differences here and there (sometimes a class system, sometimes monster catching, character specific stories, etc).
I recommend looking up a list and just picking the ones that pique your interest.

They MUST localize the Offline version!

@GrailUK
Following up on what was shared, if you choose to play the later numbered entries, the "need to grind" has been toned down so extensively that it's not much of an issue anymore.

Compared to most RPGs, with the exception of Dragon Quest VII and XI, they're all rather short experiences, clocking in around 20-40 hours.

I'd be surprised if the offline version isn't localized. I'll be importing through Play-Asia. It's the only DQ I don't own, but I'll still likely be curious to see JPN reviews as to how well they transitioned the game offline. If it's taking this long, I'm hoping it'll pan out.

Man, I remember hearing this being released on the Wii in Japan and hoping it would be localized. A decade later, and I’m still hoping!

Still such a crime this wasn't brought over, the Wii was absolutely starved for games like this. It was like the dreadful N64 RPG situation all over again if you only owned a wii that gen.

We got this instead of the IX remake. One would hope that it has a global release.

Please bring this one westward!

...And a remake of Final Fantasy IX too. There's a legitimate Dragon Quest market over here, SquareEnix! D:

@MatthewYoung @Browny @Dr_Corndog Ty for the replies, guys!

Two things I could not care less that they are Japan only.

I can think of two reasons why this won't be localized: Final Fantasy is more popular, and nobody's that willing to sink a lot of money into a Dragon Quest MMO. They'd no sooner celebrate Sephiroth in front of a wall of flames burning Nibilheim than see the Hero win.

Can you believe how big this game would had taken off worldwide had Square Enix not limit it to just Japan. A big opportunity still open for this game but Square Enix doesn't seem to want it.

Please, bring the offline version to the west. Please!

With FF14 doing numbers and appreciation for Dragon Quest growing post DQXI... if Square Enix took a punt on DQX online as a western release I'd actually be less surprised than I once would have been. Like not "this is 100% going to happen soon", but "I can see why they would take this risk".

But then I can equally see a world where Square Enix doesn't localize either the online or offline versions, because it's just the kind of nonsense they'd pull?

Boy am I totally satisfied with how this game is being handled.
I love reading about all of the updates.
I'm so happy with how they've kept us so well informed with how this game is going along and I got no needs or wants regarding this item at all.
Nope - no anxiety surrounding this one at all.
Not hoping for more in any way.
(*tapping foot)

I'm guessing a Switch version of DQ9 with online multiplayer is out of the question?

Sucks how much the chibi characters ruined it for me. The 1st 2 trailers look great, then u get to the 3rd & i lost all interest. 😥 If they had a paid DLC that made the characters normal size, I'd be all over the game (if it's ever available in US). Otherwise, pass.
