DQ X is promised to be to DQ what FF VII was to FF, the rise of the series as a WW hit. And sure, DQ is just getting stronger in western market with the years.

They say that about every edition of every major Japan centric game. They said it about DQIX: "Square Enix has said that it hopes to bolster the franchise's worldwide appeal with DQIX, giving the game a more action-oriented premise than previous games in the series."(gamespot). They said it about Monster Hunter on PSP (there were even ads here with "the game that's taken Japan by storm").

 

Maybe they'll manage it, but it's not a unique ambition/promise.
