But would he really say anything else?
It has to look better. I mean, even marginally.

Yea I don't think it looks that bad, just flat, but I'd rather play it on the small screen.
Except that it's an MMO*, so no keyboard would suck.

If they were smart for the Wii-U versions they would make the touch screen inventory and a virtual keyboard
But you want a PS3 version...which would also be developed alongside the Wii?

Hopefully the Wii-U version looks better.
MMO on console isn't really that much different from other online game types.
The beta is about two months away.
An MMO built around a pad can never be as good as one built around a keyboard.
Yep Phantasy Star Universe was great on console infact the 360 versions is still going where there PS2 and PC versions are done.
I disagree some games play better with a pad especially FFXIV game is awful with a keyboard

I really want this game.
What about... a U Pad?

It's designed around pad support though, same as XI.

I don't think it looks that bad *shrug*
Sure, because it's designed for pad play, but doing so limits the gameplay substantially.
Dragon Quest X supports keyboards:

Goddamnit that got my hopes up for a second.
I'm sorry...did you mean a keyboard for controlling the game? In that case, never mind. Looks like it's just for communication.
Well, maybe SE hasn’t shown any of that because the multi-player/MMO type game is the main part of the game.
I have heard the game has a very good story, but what else is SE going to say. I would have been happy with a single player evolution of Dragon Quest VIII. I want to like the game, but I am not even sure what to believe or think as of yet.
Might want to wait to see what they do for the Wii U version then, since with the touch screen, text chat and hotkeying can be a possibility.

I wish that there was no Wii version and they focused on making it look like Ni no kuni or along those lines. I don't think something similar to this would be unreasonable.
No Wii version? y u mad bro?
lol I'm just saying they could have a little more freedom. Besides I don't think we will even see a Wii version here in NA.

We haven't missed out on a mainline DQ game in the states since the days of the Super Famicom.
Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo themselves were going to publish X outside of Japan. I think it actually has a better chance of coming outside Japan on a Nintendo system than on anything else considering the way Nintendo markets third party games.
Stop being dumb.
Nobody in the west is going to pay a monthly fee to play a Dragon Quest game online, though.
Hell, I'm not sure many people in Japan will either.

My main rebuttal was against him saying it would somehow have a better chance of coming stateside on a different console.
Wasn't it already confirmed that the Wii version won't be released outside of Japan?

Oh look, more hyperbole.
Well your rebuttal is useless because nowhere in my post did I say it should have gone to the PS3 or any other console than one of Nintendos. If the Wii-U is as powerful as they keep going on about then achieving a game thats close to something like Ni no kuni shouldn't be an issue, nowhere did I say it should come out for PS3 stop reading into things how about that.
The game isn't coming out in Japan till at least mid next year.By time they translate everything and get it out here it will be close end of next year to 2013 before we even see this here. Considering the Wii-u will most likely hit end of next year here what is the point they might as well just release it as Wii-U only no one is gonna pay to play this here on the Wii.
Not sure but I wouldn't be surprised
It's an MMO, on the Wii. Graphically, they are really limited by those two factors so don't expect too much.
I agree it looks worse!

I don't see why both versions wouldn't come out in America.
Nintendo will waive licensing fees for this game and probably manufacturing fees, too.

Is it? I mean, it doesn't even look as good as DQ8. But being an MMO gives it somewhat of an excuse, because it will have to render a lot more models than DQ8 did. DQ8 got away with empty environments due to random battles, so it really shined.
It would also be a smart move to help combat piracy. I'm sure there will be private servers for the Wii version of this game at some point.
Im pretty sure thats what SE is doing, I saw some screens a while back that suggested it was FFXI but with a new coat of paint.

I am beginning to see the characteristic of the graphics.
You may ignore me, but I believe the reason most are shitting on the graphics, is that the graphic style they have chosen is too unique and without much similar games, so you can't see and understand its beauty yet. I am starting to see it. You see, at some points in the history overweight women used to be considered most sexy and beautiful, before barbies etc. (Yeap, I see how this is just tag-worthy, but I really mean it!)

You will be able to play with one system with the another; however, I don't see why one should hold the other back. It has been brought up before, but I still not sure!
in short, I mean after we play the game for some hours, like 20 hours, we will get accustomed to the graphics and then they will look good.
Individually, I believe the cell shaded models look good, the environment also looks quite good (for a wii game of course). However, the problem is when you mix the two, it becomes aesthetically shitty, but I am beginning to not think of it shitty.
I have seen very few games, if at all, with this much cartoony and toon characters and buildings put into a totally realistic looking environment (And leaves)

Pardon?
I have a Wii so if I really wanted to play it I would get the bloody game.
I'd just like a game that looked on par graphically with the cel shaded fighters we have from Naruto.
