Dragon Quest X Dated for August 2

Pricing and free "Kids Time" details announced.


Square Enix announced today a release date of August 2 for Dragon Quest X. The Wii title will be priced ¥6,980 on its own and ¥8,980 when bundled with a USB Memory card.

For those who opt for the base version, the game will require that you provide your own USB memory card with at least 16 gigabyte capacity. You'll also, of course, need to have a broadband internet connection.

A bit rare for Wii games, the game ships on two discs. It's unclear at present what content is on the second disc, but we should be getting additional details later in the day.

As expected, the game will have a service charge. Charges run ¥1,000, ¥1,950 or ¥2,900 for respectively 30, 60 and 90 days play (Payment can be made via credit card using standard currency, or via WiiPoints. WiiPoint pricing is the same). You'll be able to create up to three characters.

Both the standard and bundle versions of the game will come with 20 days free play time. Square Enix is also planning to host special "Kids Times" for the game. These periods will be free play. Square Enix says that it won't be setting a specific age limit for these periods, but asks that people understand that they're meant for children.

1000 yen = +- 12 dollar = +- 9.3 euro

Well, I'm surprised at the memory card bit and 2 discs...

Hmm even for a DQ title, I dont know how this is going to fly, especially in the west (most likely wont even be released, the Wii version that is)

It seems they carried over the time restraint from FFXIV to DQ X which is odd as that is a feature that angered many people for that game.

And unlike monster hunter tri, I do expect the monthly service charge to carry over for this title



so it's finally coming!?



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

I really expect this to flop for a DQ title

hopefully it will be free when it comes to the west considering the market is more niche than in japan



Is this the first 2-disc Wii title? I can think of any others




Meh, I was barely interested in the game when it was announced that it's online, but when it requires a 16GB USB too (which will most definitely require it here too), then it's an absolute no-go for me, even if it would be completely free otherwise.

DQX should have been offline.



This game should have been on handheld. I am not sure why it had to go back to home consoles when the handheld Dragon Quest was the most successful in the franchise history.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

I'll consider the Wii U version for the inevitable post-launch lull. The Wii version looks rough.
