Will this require a monthly fee? That's probably a silly question to ask. I have no idea what to expect from a Wii (and WiiU?) exclusive MMORPG.

Hori's hair... hasn't anyone told him?
I'm still confused about the "Kid's time" free hours of play...I mean, they already officially promoted that kind of service, detailing also the hours of the day during which you can play for free, detailing between normal week days and weekend days...and now they (Siliconera) states that this idea was skipped...

Yup.
Like I said, I think that is a mistake. They wouldn't cancel a big selling point like that 3 days before release in an online Q and A.
I don't know where they got that idea. Kids' Time wasn't scrapped, and the info about it is still on the official site.
The latest Iwata asks had discussion about kids time and one site reported it was cancelled. No way it is true.

Lowest selling unit wise, and highest profit aka FFXI. Although it'l' take longer because it won't have a western presence, ever.
Are you talking about this? http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/interview/s4mj/vol1/index6.html
Because they most certainly do not say it's canceled there. Horii does talk about the reservations he had about it, though.
Yes. A website article took that and wrote that they decided against Kids time, which is obviously wrong.
First DQ ever that you (probably) won't play? Impressive that SE could actually achieve such a feat.
Honestly I'm hoping this game flops... only so they stop making the series head in this direction.
I doubt Nintendo wouldn't want to show-off the online infrastructure of Wii U in the west with a game from a recognised franchise and backing of a major game developer.
Has it been confirmed as IP blocked outside of Japan?

I don't want to play an MMORPG on the Wii.
I'm not against a Dragon Quest MMORPG, though.

Aw, that sucks. I only heard about the beginning where there was no IP block in place. I could imagine Chinese gold farmers going apeshit during Kids Time if something like that wasn't in place...
Guess I'll have to cancel my preorder.

Maybe some hope of a US WiiU+PC release?

Same here. If the rest of the world gets this game it will be on Wii U most likely. Honestly probably for the best since it's an online game.
Because Wii U isn't the most widely owned console.

I'd definitely be more interested in playing it there. You really want a decent resolution and framerate for an MMORPG. It would also be nice to have the ability to actually communicate with your party outside of canned emoticons.
The game supports USB keyboards.
As a bystander, you can only do a limited set of support actions. The game's combat is still party vs. monster, and without some kind of transition, it would be difficult to determine which party got into battle. It's just a design decision, probably to make it feel a little bit like a traditional DQ game.
As far as the Wii U version of Dragon Quest X goes, Square Enix has said that the game would feature better graphics (I think it is currently unknown if its gonna be a full graphical remake or just a prettier Wii game), 2 extra character jobs, and the Wii U and Wii versions being compatible. I think we can all safely imagine they'll make use of the GamePad in some ways as well.
Dragon Quest.
Yeah, Square Enix would be foolish to do that over here. Perhaps they'll just do it like how Capcom charged only Japanese gamers for Monster Hunter Tri's online mode. I recall Capcom's Sven mentioned once that it wasn't cheap to maintain the servers of Monster Hunter Tri overseas, but it had to be done if Capcom wanted to make the game more appealing overseas.
Is more likely that the game doesnt come out at all here then them not charging a sub
It makes me wonder if Square Enix has any plans to bring DQX overseas for Wii owners at all. Maybe they'll just release the Wii U Version instead while Japan gets both.
For what it's worth, DQX producer Yosuke Saito said that the Wii U version looks "extremely beautiful" back in December 2011.
I know that, but it's not like it's only a staple of DQ to have battle transitions... plus in an MMO setting it is kinda weird. Not that it detracts from the game much, it just makes it a bit slower.
They'll wait until most of the Wii sales have been done before showing or even talking any more about the Wii U version.

Imagine a DQ8 style game on Wii U with the DQX CG level graphics running in real time. *sigh*
The major nitpick for me is the lack of density shown. So much wide open space is not that much fun to me for an RPG.
The changing weather could be a nice addition if it affects the gameplay in any way like the day/night system does.
I would really like to see some dungeons. Hopefully there are dungeons.
