Regarding the international release, I just hope Nintendo of America or Europe don’t cower out just because it’s an MMO. While the servers won’t be as overloaded as Japan, it’s shouldn’t be a hassle to maintain in my opinion. Plus, subscriptions may give them the opportunity to make money in the long run. DQ sells modestly internationally but get the subscription fees in there and it may be a good investment from their part.

Would make sense if the swooping camera only activates on the character who makes contact with the enemy.

I’m kind of curious to hear/see more of the game though. I’d like to know how it progresses, if it continues to focus on the story and what sort of end-game options are available. That’s the secret to a successful MMO, keeping players glued to it for months and years to come.

In terms of the gameplay, it looks like a nice mix. I’m surprised they kept the swooping camera in when you battle considering other players can come to our aid at any point, so I wonder what happens on their end. Does the camera also have that swoop motion or does that only occur for the first person to activate the battle?

Looks great and epic. Still has a lot of the classic DQ elements while breathing some fresh air into the series. If it sees an international release next year, it may be my first MMO. I Nintendo released DQ IV, V, VI, and IX on the DS, I can’t see why they don’t stop with X. As long as they’re generous with the subscription fees, then it may find a good international audience on the Wii U. If all else fails, I’m sure Square will find a way for PC release in a year or two.
