Pre-Release Dragon Quest 10 Offline Gameplay (Running on PS5; Coming to PS4/PS5/Switch/PC)

[ILikeFeet]

looks really nice in 60fps. don't think the switch would hit that though

 

[Leo]

Looks gorgeous! Hopefully they will announce a localization soon.

 

[lemonfresh]

Im still confused why they made everything into chibi. Seems weird

 

[b00t]

Crush it up and shoot it straight into my veins. I'll probably import this and continue to pray for a localization.

 

[jeelybeans]

Not sure how I feel about the chibi models. Seems unnecessary.

 

[Byakuya]

It looks okay, but I'm bummed we're not getting the original version. Always wanted to play that in English. I think it looked better too. Still, I'll give this a try when it's out.

 

[vhoanox]

It looks so cute.

 

[Scrawnton]

Man; I might have to double dip on PS5 and Switch when it (hopefully) comes to America.

Chibi is a bit of a turn off for me. It’s why I never played Bravely Default.

 

[Rave]

Really, really hoping we see this in the West. It looks so good.

 

[Leo]

I think the chibi models with that detailed overworld give it a diorama like look, it's very pretty. I also think it's a very good realization of DQ's classic looks in HD.

Probably won't run at 60fps on the Switch, but hopefully it will reach 1080p docked.

And BD isn't even that chibi in comparison to this.

 

[Zellia]

I'm kinda surprised they haven't announced a localisation yet. I figured half the point of an offline version would be that it would be a much easier sell outside Japan than the online original.

 

[Nmanic]

Like many others, I'm super hopeful this gets a localization. I've played a bit over half of the DQ games and would love to eventually get to play this one, even if it's the offline version.

In any case I like how it looks!

 

[Rika]

I hope this does get localized, but am remaining doubtful for now. I'd like to play this finally in English.

 

[fiendcode]

Fuck, this needs to come west. If SE won't do it maybe Nintendo can fund the localization.

 

[Ryosuke]

I think that's coming west tbh, I don't remember many Square games that went on Steam and stayed JP-only.

Dragon Quest X Online was one. Also DQ Rivals.

Good to know, basically the MMO and the F2P Hearthstone lookalike. Still don't think this will stay over there.

 

[Leo]

They're probably figuring out how they're gonna do about the DLC bringing the subsequent versions. Each one is probably a shitton of text that needs to be translated, and I'm not sure people in the west would buy every chapter if they sell them separately.

If this isn’t coming to the West, what’s the point of this product even existing?

 

[Chrdmart]

The DQ11 UI is here to stay it seems, or at least very similar copies of it translated over to new DQ games

Like a million or so sales in Japan.

Really? There's no reason this shouldn't be 60fps on all systems.

Not sure if I'm interested anyway, assuming it does get localized. It was announced along with DQXII, the DQIII remake, and that other spin-off which all got worldwide release confirmations, but this didn't.

 

[Leo]

I did say i don't think it's coming, just that they're probably figuring out how they're going to handle it (i personally can't think of a good solution).

Nonetheless, the "point" is that Japan loves DQ and the game will be a success even if it doesn't come to the west. DQ has a very traditional fan base so a lot of fans probably felt alienated by the online form, so giving these people an opportunity to play the game in their own terms is already enough to justify it existing.

Theres a number of games you can say that about. But I think they will prioritize resolution over frame rate

 

[someday]

The art style is really, awkward? I don’t really like the look of it.

Yeah not sure what's going on, personally I'm fine with the chibi characters but there are times in that video where the overworld graphics seem to change from high detail realistic texture work to sprite art psx unfiltered pixels . It's a little strange considering the original DQX world has a very clean and consistent cartoony art style.

Yeah that’s what I’m thinking too. It’s a very inconsistent looking version of the game.
