It being by BB Studio is a good sign, at least. They eventually stopped adding Region Locks for the Super Robot Wars series. Though in that case the game was already translated to English.

It can still be localized. Some pages on Steam are region specific while also have a rest of world version. It's weird because games don't usually have their own separate Japanese page. I remember encountering some awhile back but the name of the games aren't popping up in my head.

I think the fact that they made an offline version is an indication that an international release will happen.
Of course, this is wishful thinking, but I believe they probably wouldn't have bothered for Japan alone as they made quite a bit of money with the Online X already (as I understand).
In any case, I absolutely hope to play it.
From the footage it looks as if you get a party member of each race. I doubt you can customize them, but I'd love it if they all had a character creator. This would be my dream ever since IX: Customizable party members but each with a fixed character.
Having said that, it's not even certain yet that we can customize the hero. One image showed a heroine instead, so we'll at least get that choice, but I imagine the player character will be customizable since all the options are in the original X already.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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
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.

Just thought the same. I don't read a single Japanese character, but I might still get this anyway. Google Translate app will have to help me figure out the quests lol

All of that sounds fantastic.
Character customisation for player and sibling, just like X Online.
Traditional battle system and one member of each race as party members.
This is an insta-buy for me.
All we need now is a localisation.

This sounds so good... Also the first DQ without Sugiyama. ❤️

It would be pretty wild if this didn’t release broadly after the success of XI and their attempts to have the DQ streams reach a wider audience.
Perhaps that is wishful thinking though, because I think this looks fantastic. If it ends up localized, I will be there.

this will probably recycle audio from the online game. 12 will probably be the first main game without his leadership

I can't stand the chibi character models. Really turning me off to the entire game lol...
It's not the chibi that bothers me, it's the low fidelity. The models look like they can use an extra 2000 triangles and thr textures can go up another factor. They're not even going for that lofi look, it's a weird blend

DQX rules. I've played the JP version up to the 3rd expansion. Every expansion is basically a full game of content. Even the online version plays and is structured more or less like a traditional Dragon Quest. Very text amd story driven, very easy to play solo. I'm hopeful this gets localized though, my Japanese is pretty decent, but DQX is super, super dense with text and can be a bit exhausting to wade through.

I was taking a look at the pictures in the link, and noticed on the copyrights they don't listen Sugiyama's company anymore. I'm not sure that has always been the case for screenshots but I don't think so? Just thought it was interesting, since the game will still have Sugiyama's music. Maybe SE now owns the music again?
