I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume you were trying to be sarcastic.
I think the game will do quite well in Japan simply because it's a Dragon Quest game. It could be Dragon Quest : Slimes Shit their Blobs, and they'd be lining up for days. Dragon Quest IX is on top of many (if not all) wish lists for upcoming titles and following the success of Dragon Quest VIII (perhaps due in large part to how awesome it was) has only strengthened interest in the series.
However, the lack of Hentai could keep some subset of DQ fans away...but there's always fan art!
