Platina said: Yeah. MMOs are usually a hit or miss in the West so it probably wouldn't do so well.... Plus it has a lot of text so localization takes a lot of money and resources.
Even DQIX didn't sell so well in the West compared to Japan so the chance that DQXI it wouldn't be localized is still quite high :(

To be fair, most Japanese games don't sell all that well in the west compared to Japan. The only ones that I would say that do are Final Fantasy games, Nintendo games, the Souls series, Metal Gear, and a couple others.
Even still, DQIX sold over 1m in the west so I don't think Squeenix would gloss over potential sales like that. We'll see though. I don't think they'd localize games like Bravely Default but not a mainline Dragon Quest, you know?
