Whilst you can play Dragon Quest X alone without the help of other online players, you will still need to have a constant internet connection. When you start the game, the first few hours can be played offline but to play through all of the game you will require an internet connection. Dragon Quest X will be available on Wii next year and Wii U sometime after.
Well, that seems standard affair for online games
Yeah, I’m gonna wait for the Wii U one. GO NINTENDO!
Huh, that’s weird. My symbol thingie changed. It’s never done that before, even on other sites. *sigh* My last one was bland and my new one looks blander.
It looks like a penis.
LOOOOOOOOOOOL
This game is looking more and more like a toned down MMO. Which is a good thing, because MMO’s usually have the problem of having too many players, so there’s little/no focus on regular friends unless you play for a really long time.
And I’m pretty sure we all have a “constant internet connection”, although if you don’t then why do you want the game? It’s pretty much an MMO, and if you want to play an MMO you need internet… so people shouldn’t be like “I won’t be getting this game because it needs a constant internet connection.”
DQX is online? Didn’t see that coming.
I can’t wait for this game. I think the online aspect of it makes it even more exciting!
You have got to be kidding me. Of all the systems and games to use this stupid DRM required connection crud would be a Nintendo system and a one of the most famous JRPG series of all time.
Excuse me. Mr. Hater sir? On behalf of all true Nintendo fans I’d just like to say: Please STFU.
They wouldn’t release a game that didn’t work. The Wii’s internet capability is weak, to be sure, but at the very least it’s stable if you have a halfway decent wireless connection.
Lol wireless.
Oh man retards are out in full force today. HERP DERP this Wii games have DRM in fact all xbox and ps3 games have it, you know so it can’t copy disks but you knew exactly what DRM is! You’re so smart!
Then I will fail.
My PCs internet disconnects all the time lol…
nice new symbols there
Yeah weird huh? Yours is pretty badass looking though. Like a King with a mustache.
Yours….yours looks like a penis…..that smiles.
wait, I clearly am missing something here? I don’t know much about DQX anyone mind telling me why it even needs an internet connection? Will it be MMO like? persistent world? any deets?
I was really hoping it’d be more like dq 8 this is so dissappointing for me
Wouldn’t that make it more fun.
Interesting, can’t wait to try it for the Wii U
I’m probly gonna wait for wii u because for some reason my wii never liked using the internet much…
My first instinct was SpotPass functionality for the Wii and Wii U (a.k.a. automatically downloaded/updated content), but if you only needed to be online while you played, then does that mean there’s some kind of incentive for players to temporarily take up the NPC roles in their journeys, handing out quests and guiding other players towards the next goal? I could imagine adventuring along as you’d usually do, and then some player comes up to you and is like, “FINALLY! I’ve travelled a long way to find you, and I need your help in finding blah-location!” And you’ll be like, “Oh, blah-location, you must be after the blah-stone that can cure blah-disease!” Etcetera
Y’a know, because online games for Nintendo platforms are just always so amazing. Sup, Monster Hunter 3, Animal Crossing Wii and Super Smash Bros?
Yes those are great! I still get full matches on Mario Kart Wii. People complain to just complain.
Monster Hunter has great online though.
It sounds stupid, why exactly won’t it work without a constant Internet connection?
guess we’ll find out:P
