I played this game off and on since around January. Mostly as Japanese practice.

The character design alone drops this score a lot for me. That and how expensive it is. V1 and V2 are free on the online version and they're over $120 on the much worse looking and playing Offline version.

I thought the battles would be more fun but it feels like such a huge downgrade over the Online version. This whole game feels like a huge downgrade. (the voice acting is a welcome addition, though)

Please do yourself a favor and get DQX Online setup instead of playing this.

However, if you are interested in playing Offline in English, there is an early translation patch out as of today.

Information for both Online and Offline in English are in the Dragon Quest X Worldwide server https://discord.gg/dragonquestx

Agree completely, it looks so cheaply made but its the most expensive DQ game at launch by a longshot! The gameplay also feels way more slow and boring compared to other DQ games
