Quote from VG24/7:
Dragon Quest 10 will be heading to PC, and Square has released a benchmark tool as well as a beta sign-up page. It’s all in Japanese, but we’ve linked the Google translate version in there for you, just in case your browser acts up. According to Famitsu, the game will release on PC September 26 for ¥3990 and and a Special Edition which comes with a controller and token will run ¥9800. The beta will be issued in phases.

Never played any of the DQ games, but I hear they have a huge fanbase. Always gotta welcome JRPGs making it to PC, however.. I hope it will be released in NA. o/

Why are they releasing it for the PC though.
DQ games always struck me as a portable type game.

Because DQ10 is actually a mmorpg. A pc release isn't so weird for those types of game haha. If I recall correctly though it's pay to play in japan which might explain why there's no plan for international release yet. They probably think the series isn't popular enough here to be marketable as a mmo. Kinda like Capcom and Monster Hunter Frontier.

Oh nevermind then.
Expect this to never see the light of day outside japan.
I would be thoroughly shocked and outright enraged if this came to NA.
Because where the fuck is my Frontier.

I always wanted to try DQ, but not as an mmo. This probably won't come to NA regardless.

DQIX brought quite a bit of attention to the DQ series in America, it's not impossible that they wouldn't release it here. Of course, it's still a far-fetched idea.

The same could be said of many different franchises.
MMOs like this generally do not do well outside of japan.
If PSO2 isnt in America yet...

Has to be global for it to work is what I'm thinking about overseas release.
I'm just wondering if this is because Wii U reception is poor.
