New Dragon Quest 10 gameplay details
Is actually called Dragon Quest 10 Online.
Wii and Wii U game Dragon Quest 10 is actually called Dragon Quest 10 Online, and features gameplay reminiscent of massively multiplayer online role-playing games.
The extent of the game's online features had been unclear. But according to Japanese magazine Weekly Shounen Jump (translated by Andriasang) players play together in an online world.
Six races are available: Ogre, Elf, Dwarf, Pukuripo, Wedi and human. Players solve a mystery involving the human world. The overarching world is called Astoldia, split into four continents: Ogleed, Eltona, Dwachakka, Pukuland, and one island chain, Wena Islands. A central area displayed in the magazine appears to be the human world.
DQ10 Online is the first game in the main Dragon Quest series developed in-house at Square Enix, with 2004's DQ8 and 2009's DQ9 both made by Level-5. It's due out next year.
There may be an online fee. A post on the official Dragon Quest website mentioned both "price" and "usage fee", although both were listed as TBA.

If the online was free, I might consider it. Or if it can be played offline.

This will not end well.

Change is fine. Switching genre's is more of a problem, I wanted a single player role playing game, not an MMO.. and I certainly don't want to be stuck paying a subscription for that.
It's exactly the same problem Knights of the Old Republic ran into.. an MMO set thousands of years later is not KotOR 3, just as this isn't DQX.

"SquareEnix. In-house. MMO. Wii."
Guess someone already said it...

This is Dragon Quest Online. It is completely different.

How do you know those are wii-u graphics and not wii graphics?
I doubt nintendo would allow shots of a wii-u game out before they do a "big reveal" of games playing on the thing (my guess at TGS).
As to all the moaners... come on.. seriously?

I could forgive the "Online," I guess... but there's no way I'm buying a WiiU for a single game. (._. )

I don't see why Dragon Quest shouldn't be embracing online now and exploring it's potential. I do hope there's plenty of co-op missions ! If you want to play classic DQ get yourself the brilliant DS versions or play the ROM's. There is no reason why this can't be a progressive success.
