This is less of a request and more of an inquiry I guess.
This game is an online-only, Japan exclusive entry in the series. While it is playable on multiple systems (PC, 3ds, PS4, Wii) it has never had an English release. The language barrier aside, it is a great entry to the series but like so many online-only games before, eventually the servers will be shut down and the game will be unplayable.
An obvious hurdle is the necessary connection to the game server in order to play but the game does feature a completely offline prologue as well as an 'offline mode' story that comes (after the prologue) before the main game.
While it isn't much compared to the entirety of the game (at this point it is the original game and 4 expansions) it would still give English speaking players a way to experience some of DQX while simultaneously preserving a part of an otherwise doomed game.
I know that the 3ds version connects to the Nintendo servers with your Ninty id and certainly must connect to the Square Enix server to check your SE account as well but if these 2 checks could be bypassed the Prologue and Offline stories might be playable without the Square Enix servers allowing these parts of the game to live on past the life of the servers.
Of course an English translation, in any form, would be the icing on the cake.
Is there any real interest in a project like this?
