Still pisses me off.

Especially since it's the true successor to Final Fantasy XI instead of that garbage FFXIV

>True successor to FFXI
>Garbage FFXIV
GAF is that you again? Are you still hurt in the butt and reporting people for trolling and shouting GAF'D?

SquareEnix really likes leaving money on the table. Releasing this game would be really cheap. But they can't be bothered. Better spend hundreds of millions to make brand new Final Fantasy games no one wants, rather than release a fully developed game.

>>383952321
Regardless of how you feel about XIV you can't deny that it's designed completely differently from XI. DQX actually had many of the dev team for FFXI work on it.

>>383951828
>But you can't play it.
Why not?

>>383952321

He's not exactly wrong. The team that made FFXI went on to make Dragon Quest X. While another team worked on FFXIV at the same time. Then yet another team took over FFXIV with A Realm Reborn.

>>383952321
He's right though

Not localized to the west. And SquareEnix IP blocks anyone without a Japanese IP.

Can anyone who play it tell me about how are raids and how are the bosses in this game? I want to know about end game top content.

They sell between 200,000 copies and 1.5 million copies, depending on if they get marketing or not. But even the spin offs with little marketing sell better than mainline Tales or SMT games.

But SquareEnix expects them to sell 5 million copies with no marketing apparently.

i'm not the thype to hate stuff due to popularity, but...

pokemon really sucks! the world, or at least america has had pokemon shoved down our throats for far too long, without any competition.

Digimon= niche
Monster rancher= Dead!
Yokai watch = YAAAAWN

Dragon quest monsters could have been the one to end this torture.

But squeenix wont let us have it, oh nooooo, they want us to suffer.

FUCK SQUAREENIX!

Bullshit

Any scans of Akira Toriyama Dragon Quest Illustrations?

>>383951828

I don't want to play an MMO though so I don;t care

It used to bother me that FF 11 and 14 took up numbered spots in the series but I stopped caring. I just don't see them as traditional FF games

I just don't see why people want this, most MMO's are WoW clones and DQ hardly has a big enough following in the west to survive

It'd just be a waste for Square honestly.

Just let it pass and get hyped for DQ 11

So apparently the 3DS version is cloud based? How does that work? It streams the PC/Home console versions via wifi?

>>383951828
Thats fine, I like dragon quest, but I don't really like MMOs

DQX has an IP block between 2012-2014. They dropped it after that.

Source: 5 seconds in google.

>>383954802

I don't like MMOs either, but DQX is suppose to be more like a single player game with multiplayer support. And according to some Japanese players, one of the best stories in the series.

If I bought the game and just played the single player story, I'd be fine. You get 30 days of play time from buying the game.

Square executives don't understand why westerners want DQ.

think there is a small chance it may see the west

we know full well we're going to get xi, so they MIGHT release x beforehand, kind of like how they released vii and viii 3ds versions in tandem
if they release xi without releasing x then there is literally no chance we'll ever see x

We really don't. Never underestimate SquareEnix ability to block DQ games. All logic dictated that we would get more DQ games after DQIX on DS sold 1.5 million copies. But SquareEnix ignored the series starting right then.

>so they MIGHT release x beforehand
That doesn't make much sense. They would have had to release it two years ago in the lul between DQIX and XI. You don't release the latest game right before the next game comes out. I mean, I'd be happy to be proven wrong though.

>if they release xi without releasing x then there is literally no chance we'll ever see x
There's a 0.0001% chance right now. Don't think DQXI coming out will lower the chances any more.

>>383954737
>I just don't see why people want this, most MMO's are WoW clones
But this one isn't. It's an actual MMO-style MMO. That is reason enough to be enraged at having the possibility of enjoying it taken from us.

I have no qualms about pirating a fan translated copy of dqxi. It'd even be better, without the accents and such.

At this point the only way we're going to get X is if XI sells really well here.

Even if the game only got 100,000 subs, it would be worth it for SquareEnix to release it. They can even re-purpose a few FFXIV servers for DQX, since players for FFXIV are going to plummet in the upcoming months.

Dragon Quest X is basically all potential money. The development costs are by far the biggest cost and they are already taken care of. Server costs are small and could potentially be nothing if they take my idea of reusing FFXIV servers. The only costs that leaves is localization, distribution and marketing. SquareEnix won't give it any marketing so that amounts to no cost. Distribution costs can be microscopic if they release it digitally on Switch, PS4 and Steam.

There's literally no excuse. SquareEnix has already spent hundreds of millions of dollars making a game they only released in Japan and China. Its only their own pride keeping them from making money in the west and Korea. But that's been the history of this whole IP.

Squeenix is retarded and wants all three to sell upwards of 10 million copies before they'll be convinced there's interest for the franchise.

>>383951828

I could, but I'm not an MMO fan. Sounds better than most MMOs though, but still, I don't want to jump through a bunch of hoops to play it, knowing Japanese isn't enough like every other games in the series.

I'm not kidding. Other games made my purchase worth it, but SquareEnix can go fuck itself from now on.

>>383957932
you don't know how servers work so your cost analysis is likely skewed in general.

>>383958170

By all means, go ahead an explain it. We know for FFXIV they have one server per world, then one central routing server (which is the server that constantly gets fucked up). Does DQX have a different system?

>>383951828
Because the the popularity of DQ in comparison to FF is already many magnitudes less in the west, when you attach MMO the potential is even smaller.
Makes no financial sense for square to even try.

>>383958495

>Makes no financial sense for square to even try.
But it does make sense for Enix.

>>383958414
i run multiple servers, physical hardware and VMs. what you have just said is a generalization, their shit could be configured all kinds of crazy. regardless, server costs are never an issue. just spin up some new vms. the cost for a big connectivity service comes from support staff/networking folk and the producer's paycheck.

>>383958495

If random Korean MMOs can make a profit with less than 100,000 subs and Old Republic can make a profit going F2P, this game could do fine. But even just the base Dragon Quest fans in the west could make the game go over 200,000 players. Let alone the average SquareEnix fan, FFXI fans, MMO fans and etc. I have three friends who will never try a DQ game because they don't play single player games. But they have said they'd try DQX if it came to the west, because they buy every stupid MMO that comes out.

>>383957932
I heard rumours they were going have the chinese branch translate it from Chinese to English for the west but then dropped it.

Would that have been worth it?

>>383958150
Same, kinda
I bought the Wii U expecting it to be the game that made the console for me
Maybe the Switch will finally give us DQX

>>383958972

>the cost for a big connectivity service comes from support staff/networking folk and the producer's paycheck.
Then SquareEnix can't complain since they have two monkeys and a hampster running the servers for FFXIV.

Squeenix fag here, it's literally the north american branch that denies it being a port. They constantly tell Japan that it wont make any money and to not bother.

Might as well. A broken Hong Kong translation is better than nothing I guess. We might even get a version of the game without stupid dialects.

But more than likely this will never happen since a team in SquareEnix of Japan controls the localizations.

whats the best DPS class in DX10 and why is it gladiator

Headed by one of the directors of Dragon Quest X. Sad thing is, Yoshi thinks the west wouldn't like DQX unless they made it more like WoW. This might be a good example of why we don't get the game. People in SquareEnix think the west will only play WoW clones. When in reality, the major appeal would be to finally have an MMO that isn't a WoW clone. Especially as a contrast to FFXIV.

>>383952321
did everyone forget how absolutely SHIT FF14 1.0 was, so much so that they had to kill it and restart with 2.0?

i mean, shit...

>>383960717
Most of the FFXIV playerbase at this point never even saw 1.0, they were all 10 years old when it came out.

>>383960717

Read the post above yours. One of the people who make DQX is the one who saved FFXIV. Perhaps we're not getting DQX because SquareEnix doesn't want people to know that.
