People have given you plenty of decent explanations...

Read the thread again, the only explanation given were "Picking the game on nintendo is the less expensive solution" which is false and "State of pc gaming in japan" which is not influent given the low requirement nature of the game, all the others only benefits users and not the company

A year late port of DQX on PC has destroyed Nintendo's image? I really don't know anymore...

Please read again my post and point me where i said that this has destroyed Nintendo's image. Yeah... i've not said that.

 

[DaBoss]

Shocking news! I guessed it correctly I guess. Anihawk had a brilliant post lol

 

[Bullza2o]

They should make this F2P for both PC and Wii U. Just like PSO2 for Vita and PC.

 

[Porcile]

It should have been day 1 for PC anyway.

However this shows DQ x Wii brand is finally over. I don't think DQ11 will be on WiiU.

Cross-platform isn't out of the question. 3DS and Wii U perhaps.

 

[thetrin]

8 FPS? Tell us more about the perfomance

That's a score of 8, not an FPS of 8

 

[mothball]

It's true that it probably won't fly with hardcore MMO players in general, but for Dragon Quest fans, it's pretty great.

I'm actually enjoying it for what it is, which is basically a Dragon Quest with ATB combat. Definitely nice to kick back with and simply play without having to worry about all of the complexities of a big-name MMO.

I just wouldn't pay $10/month for it. Buy-to-play would also be nice, but then Square would still need to plan out a cash shop to see any long-term profitability, in which case they'd probably be better off with straight-up F2P.

 

[kitsuneyo]

I'd still much rather play it on Wii U and I hope this improves the game's chances of coming West.

DQ has never been Wii exclusive (or Nintendo exclusive technically). And XI is onviously going to be a 3DS game.

 

[decoyplatypus]

I think my favorite part of people mistaking AniHawk's rendition of Amir0x for a serious post is that if they just read the rest of the page, they'd see that it's a joke and even find a link to the original. But even five pages later, they have to reply immediately.

 

[extralite]

I'm actually enjoying it for what it is, which is basically a Dragon Quest with ATB combat.

Which ATB game has free positioning of characters? Which ATB game after FFIV didn't have a bar filling up? Which ATB game start the count down for the next turn even when you're still making menu selections?

It's DQ in real time and with movement. Not ATB.

Is that because, like everyone else, you think it will be on the 3DS?

 

[TomcatTheLion]

It was only a matter of time before it ended up on PC.

The benchmark is absolutely adorable.

Am pretty sure this entire debate started with you going:

'ahahahaha oh Nintendo.'

but clearly it's all about the gamers now.

 

[Aeana]

Got a pretty decent benchmark score on high settings/1080p. Still downloading the beta client itself.

 

[Meelow]

This...This kinda shows nothing.

Final Fantasy XI was on PC and Xbox 360 as well as PS2 but Final Fantasy never left PS.

 

[Mafro]

Wouldn't be surprised if it's on 3DS after the success of IX on the DS.

 

[iavi]

Anyone have any idea why I can't this thing to run higher than 720p?

 

[Meelow]

Wait...How long is it? I exited at about 1000 because I didn't know, how long do I have to wait?

 

[Hattori]

This move seems inevitable with Square Enix and the Wii U not lighting the charts on fire. I'm still holding hope for a Wii U localization, but if it doesn't happen then I'm glad it's on PC as it's not region locked.

 

[Aeana]

DQ11 was never gonna be on Wii U to begin with.

 

[bomblord]

8 FPS? Tell us more about the perfomance

This has probably already been addressed but that's your score not your fps

 

[Jeels]

Will it being on PC help in any way? Hopefully it means a localization is more likely.

 

[jimmypython]

SE should show some Mac love...seriously

 

[jimmypython]

yeah ...it's gonna be on 3DS

Spoiler

or smartphone

You are imagining things, where i said is all about the gamers? Quite the opposite in fact, people give me gamers' benefits and tell are benefits for the company.

 

[thetrin]

I don't have a JP Square Enix account, so I wasn't able to submit my beta test specs. Oh well.

 

[Aeana]

It's really fast to make one.

 

[thetrin]

It's really fast to make one.

*sigh* I might as well. I'm moving back to Japan in just a few days. Would be silly to keep using my US one.

 

[H_Prestige]

So does this mean Nintendo has an iron grip on the franchise? It sure seemed like it.

Funny how DQX is exactly like FFXIV now. Both cross-gen and on PC.

 

[Reknoc]

Such a charming benchmark

You should try running it on high settings! (change the first combo box to the first option)

 

[KojiKnight]

Man I'm so glad I waited on posting a reply to the person with Amirox's quote... I've started being quite wary of those things so I don't end up on the ridiculed side of Gaf.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Having a larger userbase helps DQX, and by extension helps Nintendo long term by having a more active MMO as a console exclusive. It just strengthens the game, and their consoles are the only ones that have it. I guess it's not a huge net benefit to Nintendo directly, but it's not really a hinderance either, especially at this point when DQX has already moved about 850k copies on their systems.

Would you say having ARR: FFXIV on PC hurts Sony? Would Sony really be better off long term if the game was only on PS3/4?

 

[dimb]

MMORPGs are long term prospects, meaning they often span across generations of consoles and it's in the developer's best interest to open them up to as wide a community as possible. FFXI was on multiple generations of console hardware and PC as well.

More versions of this game mean a localization is slightly more possible I guess, but SE sure doesn't seem to be interested in bringing Dragon Quest outside of Japan lately.

 

[iavi]

What are the options in the third settings box? I don't even have the JP language pack installed, so all I see is squares.

How does it strengthen the game? For an MMO, having it on as many platforms as possible is what would strengthen it.

Fullscreen and windowed. It defaults to windowed.

 

[Var]

I would definitely get this if they bring it to NA.

 

[Father_Brain]

MMOs do exceptionally better outside of Japan and this one is attached to a relatively well known series...how could this not be localized?

The subscription-based MMO business model is in rapid decline, and DQ is a pretty niche IP in the West.

But there's probably at least a slightly better chance that it'll get a shot now anyway.

 

[gogogow]

You're right. DQXI won't be on Wii U, but on the 3DS.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

FFXI was too (PS2, PC, 360).

Can't wait to see what systems KH4 Online is on.

 

[UrAvgGuy]

Wow. Wasn't expecting this but awesome none the less. Signing up!

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I'm confused. Why is this bad? Doesn't this increase the chances of localization. Isn't this a good thing?

 

[Reknoc]

ooooh, thanks.

9867, so not quite as good haha

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

Er, yes? Sorry if I didn't get that across, but that was my point.

And that more DQX players and a stronger DQX doesn't exactly hurt Nintendo.

 

[gogogow]

Screw Iwata and Reggie and who ever else decided not to localize this game and DQ7.

Nintendo needs new leadership.

This makes zero sense or whatsoever. But carry on.

 

[Madrugador]

Wow, unexpected (especially at this point) but great news. Hope they localize it.

 

[Kagari]

Will it being on PC help in any way? Hopefully it means a localization is more likely.

It will help those wanting to play it who don't want to spend the money on a Japanese Wii or Wii U.

 

[flyingmonkeywhoa]

If they brought this to PS4, I would spend however much money they want me to spend.

I always disliked how Square Enix kept Dragon Quest only on Nintendo systems

 

[thetrin]

Well, made a new S-E JP account, now I'm downloading the client. Curious to check this out.

 

[Soriku]

The nintendo brand is finally over. Maybe next decade!

It's over, period. nintendo lost their last ace, and that's the end of their wii u hopes and dreams.

It's not hyperbole, it's not fanboy drivel. It is LITERALLY it for wii u. nintendo has nothing left, nothing they have can fix the hole now created. There is no reason left for anyone, hardcore or casual, to substantially invest in a wii u. Except if they want to play bayonetta 2. Which will also come to xbox one at some point.

Microsoft took the last reason away that anyone would NEED to own a wii u over an xbox one (except TVII LOL GAMING), and the cavalcade of tiny titles that will be nice but won't stir up any sales is not going to salvage the bloated, overdesigned behemoth that was wii u.

There may be some hardcore gamers that stick around. Some did it for ps3 too. But the last bell tolled. Maybe next decade.

The age of nintendo is done.

Man if the Nintendo brand was relying on this game it was doomed from the start.

DQ or not were people not expecting an MMO to get ported eventually?
