I am very excited for this game, but I read on the Wii U Blog that there is a rumor that you will have to pay a monthly subscription to play online. If this is true, the odds of me playing online are slim.

This Will sell the Wii U in Japan for sure!

I am very excited for this game, but I read on the Wii U Blog that there is a rumor that you will have to pay a monthly subscription to play online. If this is true, the odds of me playing online are slim.

Well, 2 things:
1. It has been confirmed that you HAVE to play Online after a certain point. You do not have to play with other people, but you have to play online.
2. There is a good chance that the subscription fee will be Japan exclusive, as the game is not popular enough here to risk alienating potential fans. This is what they did with Monster Hunter Tri, which had a fee in Japan.

Anyway, I'm liking the MMO feel to the game
If I make a Wertvillage clan, who would join?

I would, once I can get out of this stupid lockdown

[Dark2Ganny]

I don't play much Dragon Quest. All I have is VIII, and I've played Monsters Joker and IX. So this is definitely a must-buy for me. I want to see my glorious slimes in HD!

[Auzzie Wingman]

^Those are the same titles that I have played too.

I'm not a fan of the whole
- Fights first boss
- Did not train
- Is killed quickly by boss

[Fire Mario]

I like Dragon Quest. I will get it soon but probably not on the release date because it would be better to wait for the price to drop. Dragon Quest X looks awesome by the way. It looks like it's going to be like Dragon Quest VIII but just better. I've got 5,6,8 and I loved them. Maybe I should think about get the 9th one too. This may be the best one yet.

[Epic Kirby]

DQ10 was not what I was expecting at all, I'm very intrigued by it though by only snag is the possibility of a monthly fee. Apart from that... looks promising.

MH3 had a monthly fee, but Nintendo subsidized it for NA. Odd's are likely they could do the same

[AMAC]

I'm quite surprised by this news. I've always thought of Dragon Quest as more of a handheld series than a home console one, but I'm interested in this game. A monthly fee would put me off though, so hopefully it will be subsidised by Nintendo in Europe.

[The Video Gamer]

To be honest I think this should be exclusive to the Wii U it would give it a huge boost in Japan.

And risk ticking off a bunch of people who don't want to buy the WiiU at Launch? Highly unlikely

[dark_rabbid]

I don't mind a monthly fee as long as they do the online right.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Except the game will be released on the Wii, so unless they get Eurocom to do the Internet, I don't think you'd like to pay the online fee...

What? I get no lag in Goldeneye, and I live in friggin' Australia.

Here is some new info:

• The game’s story will have lots of volume, with the hope that players can continue to play online for a long time.
• Outside of story, you’ll find a lot of gameplay content, as each of the game’s five races have their own specific quests.
• While it’s common for online games to not have an “ending” with a “last boss,” it appears that this will not apply to DQX.
• The game’s inn facility will now have a concierge. The concierge will give you info about events.
• While the game will have auto save, you’ll still be able to go to the church to pray in order to save.
• The game will have a post office through which you can send letters and items to friends without directly meeting.
• The game world will be many times bigger than Dragon Quest VIII’s massive world.
• Your player character is actually human, but after some sort of happening, he turns into one of the five announced races.
• You start the game off in a small village, where you live with either your brother or sister. The game’s character making feature allows you to create this family member as well.

And this is exactly why it should Wii U exclusive. For Japanese gamers this'll be there incentive to buy the Wii U since they'll be so desperate for the game. Just like Monster Hunter did for the PSP.

[Poliwhirl]

I'm curious to know if both the Wii, and Wii U versions will launch simultaneously.
