I'm a Japanese 🇯🇵 who has been playing this game for almost 9 years.
Although this is a Dragon Quest title that has not been released overseas, I hope international players will also enjoy it. However, the system is old compared to modern game systems, the players, have been asking for more comfort.
This is a very long story.
The problem is the game's porch.
In this game, you can't equip equipment unless you meet a certain job level. As you keep upgrading, your pouch will fill up unless you discard your equipment or convert it into items.
If you've played traditional Dragon Quest games, you might think that you can just sell your equipment.
However, DQX has a system where once you equip an item, you cannot sell it in the player's market. This is because the game encourages players to convert used equipment into special items rather than sell them.
Next, the game's equipment ecosystem.
Each piece of equipment has a parameter called "usage level" which is automatically earned when you win a battle. If you raise this "usage level" to more than half, you can exchange it for conversion items.
Equipment is crafted by players called "artisans," who need the conversion items mentioned above to make a single piece of equipment. The conversion items are sold at a high price in the player's market. The artisan uses the converted item to make equipment and sells it to the market.
The player sells the conversion item→
The craftsman buys the converted item, makes equipment from it, and sells it to the market.→ The player buys more powerful equipment.
This is how the equipment ecosystem works.
New players will probably be surprised at the price of equipment when they try to buy it in the player's market.
This equipment ecosystem has led to a lot of equipment being reworked to higher levels, mid-level equipment is now dropping from some monsters in the past update. However, these dropped equipment could not be sold in stores and could not be turned into the conversion items mentioned earlier.
Nowadays, thanks to the ability to release the effects of advanced armor, advanced players can no longer convert or discard equipment that they have used.
This advanced armor also includes equipment from drops.
In the past update, which was made to solve the depletion of equipment for intermediate profession levels in the ecosystem, has been a major factor in putting pressure on players' equipment.
In addition, some equipment is traded in the market for new equipment at high prices, forcing us players to squeeze our pouches. The lack of pouch space is a perennial problem.
This is really the last thing I'm going to say, but it's for people who are going to be playing DQX or for people overseas who are already playing.
There are certain servers in this game where you can broadcast, and if you are not on those servers, you will be banned from the game.
If you are just starting out or returning to the game, you can broadcast on server 10.
Also, the storyline is up to version 2, and you can go through it for free.
Thank you for reading. 😭

Wow, this video is really attracting people from all over. Cool feeling!
If youre still playing this game, id recommend getting set up in the discord for english players.
They have links to stuff like deepl for translating dialogue boxes, clarity for most menu stuff, and ahkmon for giving you those deepl translations.
Its not perfect, but it makes dialogue at least half ass readable if you arent fluent in japanese.
Dude, this is INCREDIBLE information. Thank you for sharing!!

Hey it took almost a decade to get Phantasy Star Online 2. Anything is possible
I want to give a shoutout to Battle Geek Plus, he was one of the main reasons I ended up even making this video. Some footage from his review is used in this video. If you guys like Dragon Quest, definitely go give his channel a look: ruclips.net/channel/UCePtmyRFS1XrY_NEfMC5cQQ
Dragon Quest IX isn't just single player it's the very first game to have multiplayer up to four players on the DS as well in the series though it's not a MMO which Dragon Quest X takes that place, 2:17.
i think blue protocol could be this game
Really late but... This was a great video man. Well done!
Imagine this in DQ11 graphics. This game looks great, it's a shame many won't be able to enjoy it.
Hopefully one day people will
@@thatguybis1997 I hope it does.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING IF THYE DID A GRAPHICS UPDATE?????????????????????
Hi 👍🏻
welll.... there's an offline versioncoming.... as a 2D game
As someone who is a casual Dragon Quest fan and who doesn’t play MMO‘s or online games at all I love DQX it’s so fun i’m so glad that I came across this video to convince me to go play because I love it so much
2:20 someone didnt do their homework. DQIX has a local multiplayer and is in my opinion one of the best RPG ever. Being able to create your own character and actually seeing the armor you’re wearing is so amazing for the limited capabilities of the nds. Yet they didn’t manage to implement even the armor in DQXI. I just don’t understand that they buried the mechanics of DQIX behind the big language barrier of DQX. They need to do a DQIX remastered or DQX offline US/Europe
I agree it's DQIX is the best one of the bunch and my favorite NdS game ever ! I always go back to it every 2 years and never get bored of it !
They recently added voice acting.
Which is really jarring if you're not up to 5.0 and you do the recent event where everyone is suddenly voiced.
I wish they had voice acted 1.0, I would’ve understood way more lol
@@thatguybis1997 I do a little dimmsdale dimma dab with my japanese knowledge to help me out. And luckily, like you mentioned, it isn't like ffxiv where it's WALLLLLLS OF TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXT. It's also smart enough and simple but layered enough that you can figure out the story beats with no real knowledge of japanese.
- Dislikes FFXIV
- Proceeds to talk about things he likes in DQX that FFXIV also has
(not everything I must say, I can see how you would like this one better)
You get your human body back right before the end of the base game. It's not locked behind an expansion pack.
Ohhh whaaat! That’s actually really cool. I haven’t had a chance to continue playing but I should get to it.
Damn, so we can't stay as one of the other races? :O
@@zestfenix After beating v1 you can swap back and forth by visiting the church.
For people wanting to play the game there is a tool out there that auto copy's the in game dialogue, and this can then be put into an auto translated program
Where can people find this tool? I’d like to put it in the description or make an update video of possible.
@@thatguybis1997 one of the tools is called copy translate it's just available on github and auto translates whatever is on the clipboard and then on the woodus dragon quest forums theres a program called DQ10dialogue that copys the text from in game, i can't remember the exact links
I’ll figure it out at some point. Thanks for the info.
@@thatguybis1997 you did?
Dragon Warrior on NES was my very first RPG. I had no idea it was Dragon Quest for years and forgot what the name of it even was, it was one of those really early childhood memories. I just remember loving a game where i could name characters and adventure. I don't think i ever got past level 1 or 2 lol, but at like age 4 i was having a blast!
I would love to get this working. Dragon Quest games have a certain charm to them.
I respect a game that doesn’t have a default human race. We need more games that do this
Ya, humans suck.
pso2 took over a decade. I still hoping this mmo get the same treatment as pso2.
10th anniversary event in DQX right now but no plans for a worldwide release 😶
it would be fun if they had a system like in dragon quest 8 with the monster arena, you collect your own team and then just click battle and they fight another team from a different player.
this could be added in the casino area and other could bet on it or something like that.
The combat really reminds me of FFXI which is still my favorite MMO to date.
It's a shame the west never saw this game.
It is so much like FFXI! I don't know if any other MMOs had combat similar to this, but I wish there were more
@@zoomzoomkaboom ff11 is old school mmo, that shit mostly stopped when wow came out
I play the game but I’m unable to make friend to join me ;( not cause I have social anxiety it’s cause y don’t know how to type or invite friend to join me , is it possible to do it ? Or I have to pay subscription like wow ?
I really want an mmo on swirchlite to play when I’m not on ffxiv... shame I don’t understand why we can’t play it
Man I really hope we get this game in English. I'm so close to just learning some Japanese to play this. I've had it on my Switch for months, but I haven't played it since I can't understand it. SE really needs to bring this over instead of all the DQ mobile games we've been getting.
I'm contemplating learning Japanese just to play this too lol. Did you ever try doing that?
@@aleckbo there's no need, there are tools now that translate the entire game for you. I've played around 60 hours so far in English with no problem other than the odd wonky translation that's more funny than it is frustrating.
@@rhythmicon6610 Tools in the game?
@@aleckbo Yep. You run them in the background after launching and they replace all of the in-game menus and dialogue with English.
@@rhythmicon6610 what platform? What are the names of the tools?
Been having a really great time with this game, love the story, the combat, the characters, and i even got lucky to find a large group of english players! Playing with them makes it so much more fun
Thinking about jumping the hoops to play it. Would love to link up with a group when I get up and running this week!
@@tayloravins6080 There's a discord server full of english players, myself included, if you ever need to find someone to play with, feel welcome to join
@@dragabris8666Is this discord still active ?!? I wanna Start playing it
FFXIV is a "fun slog" until you finish MSQ, then you realize "Oh shit I'm free" and the game opens up in a beautiful way.
I actually have a video coming out tomorrow pretty much with this exact sentiment on 14. Stay tuned :)
Although I doubt this would make it to my top 5 mmos of all time. It is still a game I really want to play. I have played through every Dragon Quest, except for this one. And I enjoyed 9 quite a bit, and this one is basically an expansion of its concepts and ideas.
Is it possible to play this on my eu account on switch if I own the game physically?
The mount makes a huge difference. Its much faster then walking
I highly recommend getting the mount, it's super easy to get too. It increases your walk speed by 2x or more
Yeah the dwarven continent is the next stop lol
I’m still trying to find the quest to get the mount lol
I am a big fan of Dragon Quest series, and I played almost every single game in the main series and finished some of them like 5, 7, 8 and 11, also I played many MMO games starting from Line Age 2, World Of Warcraft and Final Fantasy 14, from day 0 of Dragon Quest 10 release date until this day... I am dreaming of this game and I really need to play and enjoy it... but the Language barrier is the problem for me, I am happy while watching this video of your experience... I hope one day they bring the game to the west... thanks alot for the video
The translations are at a point where versions 1-5 story cutscenes are fully hand translated. I forget it was never localised sometimes because of how good the translations have got
Please help me. What game is at the beginning of the video?
Looks like Blue Protocol
With the recent surge of FFXIV's popularity, I wish SE would look into the demand for Dragon Quest X to be localised for the West!
I'm just super happy you mentioned White Knight Chronicles... my favourite game!
Was watching a let's play of this a while back. Seems a shame an English version of this never saw the light of day. Kind of looks like a mix of FFXI & XIV mechanically, which could be awesome.
I'll be kind of disappointed if a gutted single-player version is released in the west.
My first experience with mmo was final fantasy 11 on the ps2 and I enjoyed it but never completed it.i spent 3 years on that game.
ESO was my second mmo ,never completed it eather ,spent 4 years on it with my ps4
I always been a fan of DQ most of all.
Maybe oneday they will give me DQ10 in english,
I certainly will be ready for that day to come around.
You and me both Optimo, you and me both.
Can you use google translate and it work good enough to play the game? I feel like I’ve waited a decade for this game lol pretty sure it came out on the Wii
Yes, it’s entirely playable using google translate. It can get a bit tiresome though, I won’t lie.
What is the game from the first footage?
What's the first game you show?? Can't seem to figure it out.
this
I know this video is old AF.. but there are mounts in the game and you get a free one and at the starting village of the race you choose if you speak to someone
I'm genuinely curious, how does turn-based combat work in an MMO? Is it an ATB-based thing or is each person assigned an initiative at the start of combat?
It’s an ATB-based thing from what I can tell. Works fairly well actually. Obviously though I doubt PVP would work very well in DQX.
@@thatguybis1997 Theres a pvp arena in the game, where 2 teams of 4 players fight each other, whenever someone gets ko'd the player respawns after a few seconds, and the team with most eliminations after the time runs out wins, although pvp doesn't really fit the game at least it exists, and ive heard it is pretty fun too
@@dragabris8666 sounds like team deathmatch to me
@@XXXXD Yeah, basically
@@dragabris8666 I can just imagine a healer on each team spamming multiheal every turn lol
Can't get enough of this series. I just wish we got the truly replayable title over here. 😢
One of these days, if we make enough noise it might happen!
I really want single player games that play like mmos like white knight chronicles. I don't understand why they are so rare.
Same honestly. I would love to emulate that game again and play online with other players.
I used to be the same when I play .Hack// but now everytime I play that I just end up wanting to play an actual mmo. Same feeling when I play Xenoblade Chronicles.
Why the duck wouldn’t they bring this to the west… the Nintendo switch is 100% dry on good mmo content.
Is there any english translation mod for the windows version? I didn't see one when I googled for it.
There isn’t one that fully translates the game, no.
I recently just finished Dragon Quest Builders 2, and upon seeing Dragon Quest X gameplay (your video), I wish they combine this two into a new Dragon Quest entry.
for a brief moment when you brought up White Knight Chronicles I was transported back in time 11 years ago with my shitty Bluetooth mic. Ahhhhh memories
Still waiting on a remaster one of these days
I don't know if anyone in the comments have told you but a couple weeks ago someone made a translation tool for PC called ahkmon that translates the dialog in English so you can understand the story now! It's way better than Google translate
I know you own it on switch but if you buy it on pc your account and sub is shared so you only need to buy the game again on pc. And if you wait til the 26th of May it'll be 35% off!
I feel you I been playing FFXIV since Realm reborn and.. I pretty much skipped most cutscenes lol. I know many love the story but I don’t really play mmo for story, I play for end game content, loots and mounts! End game raids including ultimate is challenging and fun with your raid team :)
@3:20 What difficulty mode do you wanna play the story on: hard, normal, or easy... 20 years of studying Japanese and playing import pokemon have all lead up to this shining glorious moment.
shhit bro how old are you?
@@forcepalmproductions9158 in my 30s. I started teaching myself japanese when I was 11 or 12. In university, I kinda stopped being so serious with the study after an academic exchange in Kyoto, but its like riding a bike. You never really forget.
@@payet_the_mechanic awww so lucky. you know all the kanji, katakna, hiragana?
@@forcepalmproductions9158 Katakana/Hiragana aren't a problem. Kanji is the true end game. It's said you need to be able to read some 2000 or so to read a newspaper(just to be considered literate). I can read only 1/4 of that number now. My number was higher in the past.
@@payet_the_mechanic but ur able to go through dqx easily tho no problem???
treat ffxiv like an ff game only need to do the msq and try paying attention to the story but its not for everyone
I actually played this thing for 6 months on the wii u when I was a transfer student there in University. Almost failed my courses there because of this game.
Well, there’s an offline version in development. Hopefully that version comes out in other areas.
I just finished DQ11 and loved it, wanted to know if there are other games from the series on current plataforms but 10 is the only one and it's region locked, damn :'(
Dragon quest 9 is my favourite game of all time
Why is this not in the US on the switch? It would sell like crazy.
Is the game region locked too? I have a US PS4.
You can play in America. It's region locked everywhere but Japan and America
@tom gu no europe. Who knows why?
You should play dragon quest 9 on the ds. I heard rumors that there will be an offline version of dragon quest 10 releasing in the West, but the visuals look a little bit "different".
This was on the recommendations for the dq direct. How ironic
i actually bought this game but could never connect to the servers :/
You must be outside the US I’m guessing
i can see a contrast between ffxi and dqx, ffxi also has an insane amount of gear progression/stat allocation system, but dqx does look interesting, i'd give it a shot if it came to the west.
I’ve been playing 10 for a few months now using translate and it’s an absolute blast to play. I do hope it does get localized someday.
Agreed. Even using translate it’s still a great experience. Would be amazing if I didn’t have to use translate though
are you using vpn? bcs im stuck at the loading screen is like they not allowed foreign player
how are you playing it if you don't mind my ignorance?
How exactly are you using translate? Just google translate?
There’s a auto translate box created by fans
what mmo is the one at the beginning of the vid?
Blue Protocol.
Im a seasoned MMO player myself. I believe finding other folks you want to play with is a crucial element of why people will play MMOs longterm. I don't think I would have stayed playing FF14 beyond its main story if I didn't run into my guild. Its not as fun doing content by yourself.
As a newbie to ff14 I can confirm this 😅
Were you actually playing this in Japan or from a different country?
I was playing in the States
i tried to play this but looks like its a region lock game, can create account but cant play it .
I was watching the 35 years dragon quest video and man, i never have seen this mmo but just by the videos of the presentation, and with the live comments, i was really hoping this game comes to the west, i really want to play it now, i know they are doing an offline version that i think is coming to the west, but well, i think the mmo one could still be the better one maybe, its the way it was originally designed
It's always a shame when I see people who don't enjoy xiv. It's such an incredible game. DQX looks pretty cool too though.
I tried playing it, but i don't know, it really looks a lot better in the later levels but i just dont get the disposal to play it for a lot of hours in boring parts just to get to the good parts after a lot of time investment needed in the beginning
I couldn't agree more with being bored to death in XIV. I hear people talk about how awesome it is constantly, but then the towns themselves are zoned, and I got to like level 9 or 10 without leaving the town, and I was just...just so freaking bored. That game moves at a GLACIAL pace.
Yeah it’s a such a shame. Personally I liked the entire game as a whole, especially when you feel like a low level pleb. Lvl 80 literally feels so powerful.
Same here the game clicked for me instantly upon playing. Although admittedly had it had none been for my friends who gave me pointers to unlock a lot of the basic stuff that will help you go a long way I might have dropped it out of being lost in what to do at one point. Understanding what I should be doing in the game or what I can do made the game so much better for me.
I started playing this game because of this video, I understand a bit of Japanese thankfully so its not too bad getting into it. I am having a lot of fun I totally recommend people try it out.
I remember beating DQ11 3DS version in japanese just because the formula is exactly like dq1 to dq9, and also by the help of muscle memory, memorizing the placements of abilities in the menu. 🤣 Show no mercy and fight wisely helps too, feels like achievement
0:30 where is this from?
"This MMO is good cause its just a single player RPG"
That's kinda funny lmao
Is there any like, MMO.. no wait I mean.. Multiplayer perspective in this video? like coop dungeon?
@@blazeburner4039 just the Casino it seems
Like I said in the beginning, I typically don’t like MMOs. DQX is not your traditional MMO.
@@thatguybis1997 All things aside I'm glad you at least enjoy some, if not all MMO in general. I recommend finding people to play with (Maybe there's western player community somewhere for this game?) that's the core idea of MMO after all.
@@blazeburner4039 there are raid bosses im p sure. EDIT: most bosses are 4 players but Im aware that 2 bosses require 8 players for them
If you play the game on PC there is an auto translator someone in the Dragon's Den made, it works wonders on understanding what's going on in this incredible game. Plus you can play your Switch character on PC if you link your account, definitely worth a try!
My MMO times are long gone but, dang it, I would like to try Dragon Quest X! Come on, Square Enix! Think of all the collections that are missing a single game.
I know right? Get this game to the West Enix!
So is this the same Falcon from Gameranx?
god the game gives me a LOT of FFXI
I love how the game looks and feels, and I love how slow the walking speed is personally.
Can't wait for the DLC for a google translate NPC lol
Hahahaha wouldn’t that be an amazing addition.
what is the game in the beginning of the video ?
Looks like Blue Protocol
I tried playing this on switch with jp acc and still wouldn't let me play
If you’re living in the states it should. Anywhere else, I have no idea.
@@thatguybis1997 idk i live in Puerto Rico we are Americans
dragon quest has my favorite art style out of every game, this would be my all time favorite MMO if it gets a western release
Dragon Quest is such a big hype in Japan that Japanese ppl would Q overnight for the latest releases (like how ppl Q for iPhones).
Heck the theme was the first song for Tokyo Olympic 2020 flag bearer country march.
Me coming back from the may 26th announcement: hehehe
what is the first mmo shown in this video
Looks like Blue Protocol
Square announced Dragon Quest X offline but I wonder how similar it is really going to be
love dragon quest
Me too
I'm not an MMO fan either, however, I recently got into The Legends of IdleOn. I am super addicted to this game, oh my lord☠️
I legit think it's the perfect MMO. It allows multiple characters all linked to the same account that share the same storage chest, you unlock more as your collective level gets higher. Also, it allows AFK farming, so you do need to grind a lot, however, you can just set your character(s) to do it, then go to work, and reap the benefits when you get home (AFK farming is slower, but not unreasonable, plus, you can level AFK speed up). It's literally an MMO you can get somewhere on without wasting your life away just to get somewhere! It seems simple at first, but there's more to it than meets the eye.
It's essentially a 2D RuneScape that's not as boring and far more engaging. The only con is that the better items and features are behind a paywall, however, you don't need to pay to enjoy it/get good gear, but there are certain really great things you cannot get without paying, such as auto-loot. On the bright side, you can wait for offers, and they're very, very reasonably priced. Auto-loot cost me £4.79, and it came with 8+ chest spaces, and +6 bag spaces, as well as 900 gems. Any other game, that would cost £20-£30.
Fisrt time? The PS2 had a REALLY large pirate games market. I remember i complete kingdom Hearts 2 final mix in total japanese almost 14 years ago, good times bro
I made a Japanese Switch account and started playing
Dragon quest 10 deserves a Nes Demake in english called Dragon Quest X: Gates of a eternal realm
Might warn of spoilers?
It happens within the first 30 minutes of the game, but you’re right. I’ll throw in a spoiler warning in the future.
For a game this old you should expect that from a review
Well in the west we are getting an offline version but I wish it was online
Alright. You convinced me. I love DQ, but have only ever liked FFXI and Wizardry Online when it comes to MMOs. This reminds me of those games, but with DQ aesthetics. Gonna download tonight!
Let me know what you think!
Did he say offline version of 10 in the west why only offline?
Because Dragon Quest is already pretty niche here and releasing an DQ MMO in the west would be suicidal.
only way to get this in another country is going to japan and buying it or possibly buying it online
Edit: its very expensive to buy online in my opinion considering you have to buy something to actually play the game with
Watching this video after seeing the news that we are never going to get this game in the west, other than the chibi version, destroyed me....
Wish you had a spoiler warning or something. I didn't know about the player dying at the beginning. Would have been cool to experience myself. But I digress, it's not like I had plans to pick it up right away anyway.
I really enjoyed FFXIV then again it was my first MMO I played, so my experience was much different from yours and really enjoyed it even more first few hours.
I'm sorry but if I cannot understand the language, and have the look up a video or website, it's just not worth it for me, it's the same issue, I have with Phantasy Star 2. Sorry but I'd rather just stick to FFXIV, I enjoy it's combat and it's stories.
I just can't help think your really hyping this game (though I do believe you like it), just to put down FFXIV just because it's popular, as if it didn't deserve the level or praise it gets. I get the first hours of the game are slow, but hell a lot of MMOs are like that and people still enjoy. I guess it's more of a patience thing.
But it’s not JUST the first “couple” hours though. It’s more like the first three expansions.
Im not bashing it because it’s popular, I’m bashing it because I found no enjoyment out of it. But if you like it, then that’s great! I just didn’t, unfortunately.
@@thatguybis1997 When I said a couple that's poor choice of words, that's my bad. But I really disagree it's not at all the same for the other three expansions. I just felt differently, I'm sorry I meant no disrespect, I just had a different experience, I'm sorry you couldn't get anything from it. *Shrugs*
@@thatguybis1997 the first three expansions? Surely you mean the first three patches that released after ARR. The first three expansions would include HW, SB, and ShB... And I'm fairly certain that at least one of those expansions would have piqued your interest by now.
@@MonicAchannel22 He said before he enjoyed Heavensward
Man I really would like to play this game but, I live in South Africa so the lag would be fucking insane.
oh, what I would give to play as fish people in any game ):
Ok so when I get Japanese games it just tells me that it’s for Japanese resididance only
This game is the perfection of the the formula started by DQIX.
Psyched to start this with clarity going
I would have loved to play this game.
You the real MVP!!! For buying this in Japanese
PSA: The mount is really important
yeah I also cant stand mmos, The clutter of them is more annoying than fun for me like you need 30 different key binds for your abilities and need to remember ability 5+8+20 does this effect while I need abilty 6+19+27 in case this happens like no. Also FF 14 Is a subscription based game lmao no thanks. I love DQ as a series so just that alone could make me like dq 10 even if its an mmo but I dont know any japanese :/ Very nice video btw and the dislike ratio seems a little too high, I guess mmo players got triggered rip.
Although I love 14 and never had an issue with the lower levels, I do say I absolutely wish I could this. I have seen it for years and really believe it would be amazing to try it. I had only started the dragon quest series really with a little bit of the first couple of games and then picking up with xi. If they ever do release it here make some videos of it! I’ll see them and know how to get it haha
It's completely playable in English now thanks to non-official translation tools.
