Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes announced

[Feels Good Man]

Dragon Quest X Mezameshi Itsutsu no Shuzoku

Platform: Wii/Wii-U

Details:
- Cross platform between Wii/Wii-U
- First internally developed DQ game at Square Enix
- Produced by Yosuke Saito (NIER) and directed by Jin Fujisawa (DQ8, DQ9)
- Seems MMO-ish? Pseudo MMO where it's reduced in size. Think of Guild Wars 1 or Phantasy Star Online

- The game takes place in a world with 5 continents, and 5 different races/tribes living in them
- Turn/Command based combat.
- The game will have a "huge story"
- Job system will be in.
- New jobs added after launch.
- Aiming for a higher quest addition rate than DQ9.
- Seasonal events.
- Can create a character.
- Customizable AI party members, recruitable at bars.
- When you're not playing, you can let your character be used by other players in their parties.
- Players playing alone can recruit people driven by AI.

- They're thinking about something where you can transfer your character to your 3DS for Spot Pass transfers with other players.
- Cross platform between Wii & Wii-U. Wii-U graphically superior but share the same world as the Wii version
- Can stop playing on one platform and continue where you left off on the other.
- The Wii game supports Wiimote+Nunchuck, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro, as well as USB Keyboards
- The Wii game will use both the game disc as well as USB memory storage
- There could be a feature where characters can be transferred onto the 3DS and shared with other players using Streetpass
- TBA 2012

finally
i thought this was going to be cancelled

 

[machomuu]

I wonder if this will be the first MSO created, it seems to be the case, from what's been said it's likely an MSO and not an MMO.

 

[BORTZ]

Sounds cool.
Job system?

 

[Bladexdsl]

oh no dont tell me their gonna turn it into an MMO this is the LAST thing i wanted

 

[Ergo]

It's 100% completable offline.

 

[Sylar1]

Fuck i'm conflicted, i don't like MMORPGS, it looks like FFXI, but i guess its normal turn based.

 

[Ergo]

And it's coming to Wii U!

 

[Feels Good Man]

Looks really bad. The combat and the camera specially. Not too keen on the visuals too, they look like the DS version, but a bit better. Xenoblade looks better.

 

[Erdnaxela]

Oh wow is this really DQX?
I've seen the combat system, and I hate it!
What happened to my good old DQ >.

 

[Byronic Hero]

MMO? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh

When did it become such a bad thing to have games where it's a fully single player experience? I know you don't have to have other players, but still.

 

[Nathanaël]

Best news in years. Thx.

 

[machomuu]

I don't remember them at all saying it would be an MMO...

 

[Nathanaël]

Pics, screenshots, anything?

Ustream is off already?

I understand your sentiment. The story will not be centered in the characters, but on the NPCs, like DQ IX.

It's basically a MMO with story.

There were trailers, gameplay video and pictures. I'll edit my post later when they become available.

"You can see other players fighting in the world. This looks MMORPGish. I don't think they've said how many people can exist in the same world though."

Hence the "seems" mmo-ish.
