Genre is "RXG" -- RXG（リアル連動ゲーム）-- Realistic Interactive Game.
I see a stamina bar, of course. Gold and what looks like a Mobage-coin type knockoff. Apparently has social media aspects?
Not sure what RXG is supposed to be. "Real X Game" is what they had on the printouts he held up. I can't see AR aspects coming into play. (Having a game like this implement GPS searching or something would b enice, but...)
I've seen the social aspects on that screenshot parodied in manga before, so I don't think this is an original idea -- gain X points for doing Y things In Real Life, or watching Z minutes of a Nico Nico ad, or what have you.

I knew in the off-chance that it would be Dragon Quest that it would be a smart phone game.
But I didn't expect something completely unrelated to Dragon Quest AND a smart phone game.
It's like landing on the 0 in roulette.

Ok, live demo of some kind. It looks about as exciting as an Excel Spreadsheet so far.
Edit:
Weird randomization thing, it rolled amongst 8 options, presented as cells in a spreadsheet -- didn't even do the Gatcha. That's an interesting take on it cause it showed the 8 options you had. Although if you don't think it's fixed to manipulate you into rerolling until you're dead broke you're delusional.
Combat...
Characters represented as cards. 4 cards / portraits, one monster. There was an actual menu so it's at least not one button combat, maybe? Although they appear to just be doing their own thing once you click on it. Some percentage thing that started at 100%, now at 73%. Some sort of stamina/mana bar for your entire party?
A gatcha filled up around 33%, a thing spun around, it landed in the lit up thing. Standard random chance thing, that sort of spin setup is used in casinos when you're down to your last quarter on a modern WMS dollar machine, or thereabouts. Appeared to be a monster scout thing.
It really looks like combat on par with Rage of Bahamut or somesuch - 1 button combat, unless the menu system is more extensive than we saw. The mechanic where you appear to have a stamina bar and stronger attacks leech from it more than weaker ones might be interesting. They got it right with DQM Super Light / FFRK and Dragon Quest Worlds, this appears to be a step backwards. Maybe not, though.
I hope to god the MC is drunk enough to ask him "You used to make real games like Dragon Quest X, where do you think your career went wrong?"

All the storyline from a single Dragon Quest town, all the gameplay of an Atari 2600 title, spread out with a gatcha and stamina system scientifically designed to bleed your wallet dry.
YAY, Mobile!
So what we know from tonight's 2 streams:
DQX 3.2 launches tomorrow
Some sort of gift will be given to the players with the update
New DQX compilation physical release, although they're pulling an Everquest and doing this regularly to keep it in stores
(Possibly) New harvesting drops? Rank 2 orbs?
According to that blog post, they're also giving Monster Tamers a buff in the update
Not even Hatsune Miku can save a creepy drunkstream by a bunch of Square Enix devs
Chikara Saito needs to go to the gym before wearing a tube top again
Jin's new game is a mobile monster catching game called Fortune Tellers' Academy, it appears to be fairly bog standard Stamina 1 button combat tripe.
Edit: I just realized that's not an actor pretending to be a bartender. That's a bartender pumping these people absolutely full of drinks. One of the guys in a santa suit is completely plastered.
Edit2: MARIBELL CROSSPLAY. STREAM REDEEMED.
