NO

This is not what I wanted.

It's amazing how everybody tries to get in on the MMO action (Final Fantasy, LotR, Star Wars, even Hello Kitty). I think the fact that they had customized characters in IX kind of points towards this next game, but I probably won't be going for it.

^ What this guy said. I suppose in a way though, it increases competition and creates variety? I dunno. The only MMO I've played have been GunBound, Gunz and WoW.

Gunbound and Gunz aren't MMO's.

Apparently You can Solo Dragon Quest X, And it's still technically Turn Based.

According to Squeenix you can play the first few hours offline but after that you gotta connect to the servers.

Yeah, looks like my DQing will be limited to the first 9...if I can ever find 1-3...

[Linkmaster30000]

I know they were released on Game Boy/Color (as I&II, and III).

[Albert Wesker]

Yeah, 1+2 are on GBC in US, and SNES in Japan. III is on GBC here, and I think SNES in Japan.

I know, but they are going for over $200 last time I checked. Hoping for a VC release.

[Linkmaster30000]

I can see if I can find them in some of the area stores. If I find them, I'll buy them and send them to you.

The Wii is getting a 25th anniversary release of 1, 2, and 3

[Hanz]

Oh. Well that solves my problem.

Square Enix set August 2 as the release date for Dragon Quest X. The first online entry in the series will debut on Wii with a Wii U version slated for release at a later date.

Dragon Quest X: Waking of the Five Tribes Online will retail for 6,980 yen ($86) or 8,980 yen ($110) with a USB flash drive. You don’t have to buy Square Enix’s thumbdrive, but you’ll need a USB memory device with more than 16GB of space to play the game. Twenty days of online play is also included for free.

Afterwards, players will need to pay for a Dragon Quest X online subscription. Just like Monster Hunter Tri’s release in Japan there are three tiers: 30 days for 1,000 yen ($12), 60 days for 1,950 yen ($24), and 90 days for 2,900 yen ($35.50). Square Enix accepts credit cards and equivalent amounts of Wii Points.

During a Dragon Quest X press conference, Square Enix also said there will be periods of free play called “Kids Time.” Details about when and how often Kids Time occurs were not announced.

Check our our posts about Dragon Quest X’s battle system and how you can create a party for an overview of the game.

Still pretty skeptical about the online stuff, but I am keeping my eye on this.

Online game, still stupid

fu squeenix

[Albert Wesker]

Yeah, that sounds really stupid. Dragon Quest doesn't need to be online, nor should it.

[Linkmaster30000]

Same was said about Final Fantasy. Good thing that never happened, since it would've hooked hundreds of thousands of players. Except that it happened twice.

Who knows how this game will turn out. With IX's character creation being such a selling point, this could actually sell decently.

That being said, I probably still won't get it.
