    Dragon Quest X (Japanese MMO) -- News and Moderation moving forward

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:55 PM PDT

    Dear /r/DragonQuest

    Overview

    Recently we've received an influx of posts about Dragon Quest X, an MMORPG that has only been officially released in Japan and in the Japanese language (and in Chinese though now shut down). The game has an IP block for all regions except Japan and the US, and is most readily available on PC and Switch eshop (using Japanese account). Indeed, a free account can be used to play virtually all the content of the main game and first expansion (and then some).

    Recent News from 35th Anniversary Stream

    As many now know, there are two big news from the 35th Anniversary Stream:

    1. DQ X has "no plans for a worldwide release" at this time
    2. DQ X has a new "Offline" version focusing on the story (different visual style), for which we have no news regarding Western release.

    Recent News from fan "translators"

    At the same time, recently fans have been working to make DQ X more accessible. There are two programs that seem to be recently discussed:

    1. DQ Clarity = Converts the menus and item descriptions (?)
    2. Ahkmon = Uses DeepL API to do machine learning translation of dialogue.

    Neither of these programs are officially endorsed by the moderation team, as it's important to remember they may break SquareEnix terms of service and result in an account ban.

    Moving Forward

    This post is meant as a way to inform people about the recent advances in DQ X. Therefore, only significant advances in the technologies involved would warrant a new "announcement" post, and ideally should be run by the mods before posting.

    While /r/DragonQuest is meant to be welcoming to all fans of the series, recently we've noticed a considerable increase in the frequency of posts about DQ X, many of them directing fans outside of the subreddit. Perhaps as a result, we've received an increasing number of reports regarding violations about spam and self-promotion.

    As a moderation team, we are still discussing the best ways to handle this influx of DQ X posts. On the one hand, these posts are often informative or give a glimpse into limited-time events and obviously these fans are passionate. On the other hand, a Japanese-only (without mods) MMO with IP blocks is hardly the easiest game to recommend to newcomers and may make the board less welcoming in multiple ways. I also personally welcome community feedback on this balancing act.

    Of note, it seems fans have created a new DQ X subreddit. This subreddit may be a better source of information or place to share your passion regarding DQ X: /r/DragonQuestXOnline

    Tentative Guideline for Posting DQ X Content

    If you are considering posting DQ X Content, I would ask you to ask yourself the following questions:

    Am I posting this fan-generated content to share the content on its own merits?

    Or am I posting this content to recruit members to a guild / Discord / other subreddits? [Including redirecting fans via comments.]

    If we feel the intention is the latter, we may result in removal of content or even bans.

    While we do want to share information about the advancements in DQ X (and hence this stickied post), the social aspects of DQ X make it difficult to draw the line between fan passion and guild recruitment spam.

    If we continue to notice an abundance of borderline content, we will probably implement stricter moderation policies. One proposal is to limit DQ X content to certain days or even to a single megathread (perhaps once a week or something).

    However, as always, I welcome the feedback from fans and community members to help guide us in what the /r/DragonQuest community would like.

    Met an unexpected dragon quest fan at hospital

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 07:01 AM PDT

    I am a student nurse who is currently having a clinical placement in a hospital. I was just doing my own stuff at the nursing station while humming the dragon quest main theme. Just then, one of the guys who was on cleaning duty walked pass me, turned his head around, and said, "is that dragon quest?" I said "Yeah!" He laughed and said "i love that game"

    We talked for a few minutes about our favourite games in the series. Dude even bought a few physical copies of old DQ games from the US that costed A LOT bc of how rare it is nowadays.

    I saw him frequently running around in the ward doing his job but we never talked so it's funny how our first convo started bc i randomly hummed a DQ theme song lmao.

    If this guy is active in this subreddit and read this, i would legit laugh my ass off bc of how small this world is!

    Finally 100% Platinum Dragon Quest XI S

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 12:11 AM PDT

    Arab DQ players, we have a place named in our language!

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT

    How would you guys feel if they started remastering Dragon Quest games in full 3D style - Dragon Quest 11 graphics? Starting with Dragon Quest 1-3. If they remastered 3 they could even combine it with the 2D-3D remake and do what Dragon Quest 11 did with 2D mode. (Without resetting chapters points)

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 08:35 AM PDT

    If they had the time and resources personally I'd love it. As long as it doesn't take from other projects and new Dragon Quests. At least not too much.

    Me during all of Act 2

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:22 PM PDT

    Missing a couple titles, will get a better display later

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:24 AM PDT

    Can someone help me? This man in the tunnel tells me to First go north then go east. North at the first intersection, west to the next, then south. But I can never get there

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 09:10 AM PDT

    I think I was busy finishing up DQ4 due to backlog back then, that I didn't have time to open these 2 games. Nice knowing that they're collectibles now.

    Best Ways to Level Up (Asked by a DQ Noob)

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 09:03 AM PDT

    Hey, Hi, Hola, Shalom, Bonjour,

    So, I recently bought Dragon Quest XI S on my switch, and am attempting to slay the Slayer of Sands. However... grinding monsters is a sucky way of leveling up 😭

    Is there any other way to raise levels, but... quickly? This is my first time playing this game so I don't really know the ins and outs like you lovely humans do.

    I have light experience playing Dragon Quest... if DQB2 is considered experience? 😅 After years of this game on my radar, especially now it released on the switch, I finally bit the bullet. But desperately need help leveling up. I'm sitting at level 12 rn. But have read you need to be at least lvl 16 to defeat the giant scorpion monster.

    Please help 🥰 you're all amazing. K, thank you!

    The Heroes of Dragon Quest

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 04:42 AM PDT

    I recently started a youtube-channel, and with my love for Dragon Quest of course my first Video would be about that. I talk about the Designs of the Heroes. Hope you enjoy it!

    Also hope this doesn't count as spam, since I'm not all that active with posting stuff here.

    What names do you give your MC?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 08:39 PM PDT

    Do you name them after yourself? Are there even canon names? I tend to name the MC after the game number, for example the name of the MC in DQ11 was "Eleven" same with "Eight" and "Seven" which have been the games I've played. Curious what everyone else does.

    Anyone else worried about the Dragon Quest 12 combat ''tweaks''? What do you guys think it will be? How different do you think it will be from traditional Dragon Quest combat? Dragon Quests combat is a big reason why I love it.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:19 PM PDT

    Do you think there will be voice acting in DQ3HD?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 10:27 AM PDT

    And would you want it?

    I don't think there will be but I would love it if they did! Not for main character of course, but for NPCs and enemies like Baramos.

    Anyone have a list of the DLC for Theatrhythm?

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 09:48 AM PDT

    The Wikis only show 5 songs and I believe there were 22. Im just trying to see if its worth the effort messing with my 2DS more to get them.

    I'm looking for an RPG like Dragon Quest

    Posted: 02 Jun 2021 04:33 AM PDT

    Hello, I really like the wise Dragon Quest, and since it is a style I really like, I wanted to know if you have any recommendations for games in the genre? With a class system, a turn based rpg, a system of exp...

    Thanks in advance!

    Was the fully modelled equipment of DQIX that popular?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 09:19 PM PDT

    I personally loved every bit of armor and equipment having a unique 3D mode but I've never been aware of other people's opinions on the matter. With a modern release transmogrification can be a thing so those that just want that certain look can have it.

    Would other people enjoy a new release having every item, apparel and weapon modelled and visible?
