Online gaming publication Siliconera recently had the chance to chat to Dragon Quest executive producer Yuu Miyake and mobile producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto about Dragon Quest X. They both exclaimed they would love to bring the game to the west, but with most of their current projects, it needs to make financial sense.
“We’d love to do it!” Miyake and Fujimoto exclaimed. “Love to.”
“In terms of this being an MMO, again, we have to consider the operation and logistics of how to make that feasible,” Miyake elaborated. “We also have to think about it from a business standpoint. With Final Fantasy XI and XIV, it’s a global-scale endeavor. In terms of Dragon Quest, the way it’s perceived in the different countries is very, very different. How it’s perceived in Japan is different than how it’s perceived in the United States.”
“In addition, we’d have to build a new data center for pretty much every location, and we need to make sure that makes sense as a business. We want to be able to operate in the different regions. Again, we would love to do it, but we’re still trying to work out the details and figure out what would work best [were we to bring it abroad].”
“In Japan, you have your outside developers who understand Dragon Quest and know what’s appropriate for a certain platform, so we worked with partners that knew what they were doing as well as what Dragon Quest was, and in that way it was a great partnership,” he replied.
“With Dragon Quest X, because it’s an MMO, the team thought, ‘Okay, what company in Japan knows MMOs the best? Wait, that’s us! We’re running Final Fantasy XI, so, why not do it with an internal team?’ So, the concept isn’t about working with an outside company versus an inside company, it’s more like who works on a specific title and platform the best. We’re all kind of the same if you look at it from that perspective.”
Count me in. Insta-buy preorder 100% Limited Collector Ultimate Edition. I don’t even care.
You would be able to play this already if it weren’t for the region locking on Nintendo console. Too bad… :p
I probably wouldn’t do that though since idk Japanese. XD
We need more Japanese games. :/ By the way troll, if you don’t go away, I’ll call Bailor Spoon on you! >:(
SPPOOONN TIIAAAARRAAA MMAAAAGGIIICCCC!!!
I agree that region locking has to go, but I’d assume the servers them self would be region locked since they would be in a different part of the world. Correct me if I’m wrong. That’s just my assumption.
When is making money not financial sense ?
They’d have to spend money to get it localized and market the game. It doesn’t make financial sense in that they would spend more money on localization and marketing than they would make in sales. I don’t see this game selling too well out here in the west.
HollowGrapeJ stop your flip flopping you can’t even product semen yet and you still try to converse with the likes of Stranga and Valve”the cunt”Glados..

Why do you keep talking about that foreign pornstar Valve Glados from Crapslyvannia, also, how could he talk with said foreign pornstar when you already confirmed that he/she died months earlier? Silly you.
You silly willy. He’s just a troll.
Wrong! He is a worshipper of the Anti-Shrek Farquad! He must be baptized immediately by Lord Shrek’s onion juice!
I would love to talk to her. I bet she’s really nice. ;p
I thought so too! ;)
And I’m not talking personality wise. :P
SPENUS LLIIIGGHHTT THIINNGG SSMMAASSHH!
LOL. I can’t believe you guys can be trolled by me so easily :-D
Repent and convert to Shrekism, and worship the one true lord Shrek!
it’s just clear that sasori would pick up an ipad with manly juice because:
http://memecrunch.com/meme/4JBUT/sasori-obinna-onuorah-non-erectus
I would just wipe it off and take it
I would just eat it. Lol.
WHOA!! HOLD ON A SECOND! I thought it said sour cream. I take that back! O_O
I was worried for a second XD, the only one who enjoys that is sasori his lips were made for it.
Only the evil Lord Farquad would enjoy semen instead of Lord Shreks onion juice.
Sasor is Lord Farquad confirmed.
sasori enjoys drinking semen:

It’s the Anti-Shrek! Quickly bathe it in Shrek’s sacred onion juice! Begone Demon lord Farquad!
SPUPITER THUUNNDDEERR CCRRRAAASSHH!!
HollowGrapeJ .. Tendencies exposed..
lmfao xD
Repent vile Church of Sasori, for you lord is really the Evil Midget Demon Lord Anti-Shrek Farquad in disguise. Repent and we will baptize you in onion juice from your one true lord Shrek. Then Lord Shrek will come and lovingly penetrate your anus painfully, but you will enjoy this pain because you truly love lord Shrek and you want to please Shrek. Repent and Lord Shrek will not have to rip all of your members in half and penetrate they’re dead corpses.
Shrek is a b0ss. I like him.
I’m glad you see the truth as well my fellow broger. Let us rejoice and restore the layers of those corrupted but the anti-Shrek Farquad.
Everyone who is smart will go to Far Far Away with Shrek. He shall hand out presents and onions.
And penetrate our anus and fill us with his love.
Church of Shrek has Valve GlaDos written all over it. Nice try toots.. a favorite foreign pornstar once told me “never become of the epitome of the Mongolians of Unnatural Decent”…
and that pornstar died of aids
Silence vile Church of Sasori AKA Lord Farquad’s Church, Lord Shrek does not care about any bystander you attack, we only care that you worship the evil lord Farquad in disguise of Sasori. Bathe yourself in Lord Shrek’s onion juice and lord Shrek will forgive you and penetrate your anus and fill you with his love. Repent now!
Lol yes I can. I’m almost 17. XD And I can converse with whoever I want! Including you! :D
Darn it! My powers are working on this troll! FilledAppleK was the ORIGINAL!
*aren’t
Do not converse with that vile sinner who worships the evil Lord Farquad in a Sasori Disguise, until he is purified by our one true Lord Shrek’s onion juice, for Shrek is the true lord of us all. I should know, my father didn’t believe me, so I called him a “faggot” because I knew he was jealous of my devotion to Shrek.
Shrek is Love…
Shrek is Life…
do not worry, sasori. though you love semen instead of kool-aid. i will always be here for you. Oh yeah!
i would but this game instantly on Wii U or 3DS

Lol that anime-ish looking thumbnail makes me want to click it. But I already know what it’s about anyway. Can’t believe it’s still going… How many freaking mysteries can there possibly be??? XD
EVERYONE! I FOUND OUT THAT HOLLOWGRAPEJ IS BAILOR SPARS, CHURCH OF SHREK, NOSTAGIAWW, AND FILLEDAPPLEK!
No one cares. All hail Shrek!
Hallow be thy Shrek!
Did you seriously ask that question? Til the end of the world comes, there will always be mysteries to solve! Humans are quite the repetitive species, so there will always be another human dressing up in monster or ghost outfit & scare people away from a place that could help them make money.
I’m still disappointed DQX became an MMO. I loved DQIX and want another DQ game. I probably wouldn’t get DQIX if it came to the West because it’s an MMO.
Those who have been lied too by the Church of Sasori, repent for I shall reveal to you the truth, for the fake lord Sasori is really the Anti-Shrek Farquad in a disguise crafted out of used KFC paper buckets. You must turn away from the vile Church of Sasori and purify it with the onion juice of our one true Lord, Shrek. Convert now before the Farquad Disguised as Fake Lord Aizen Evan Obinna Sasori causes you to drop a dorito on the floor and accidentally step on it cause your life to spiral into a living Farquad Purgatory Hell. Repent!
WE NEED MORE POKERMONZ!
Aaarrgghh! Yee mateies shall walk thee plank!
You guys are weird here,why does anybody keep calling Evan by his middle name Obinna lol xD. The only ppl that call him that is his mom and little cousin. Anywayyyss I love you twerkie muah!! ;o

Repent Selina Ruiz for Sasori is lord Farquad in disguise, or risk being penetrated by your one true lord and savior Shrek.
WE NEED 99 SOULS! EECCH!
Ignore Bailor Spoon up there. That obviously isn’t me..
WE GOTTA GO KILL ALL THEM TITANS!
Even Alchemy can’t fix all the trolls…
I AM REAL SUPER SAND!
SUPER SWAG JUTSU!
Da fucks going on in this comment section lol
Good question. I have come across a few funny comments, though. xD
What did they mean by “Needs To Make Financial Sense”
Basically.. they want to bring it here, but they know how the US is about monthly fees, we’re not fond of it.. specially at 15 bucks a month…… and since it’s on Wii U.. in the US people that own wii us might not like to spend 15 a month… i don’t play MMOs cause i am not spending 15 a month.. i would spend 5 bucks tops…
