I've once posted on how I'm a fan of the Dragon Quest games on the DS. The truth is, I've been following the series since the very beginning, when it was called Dragon Warrior. I had to skip over VIII since it was released only on the PS2, but I followed up by IX, and I was looking forward to X.

The latest entry is coming for the Wii, with a release date of August 2 in Japan. Considering that these tend to take a while to localize, I can easily imagine a delay of a year before we get it in English.

I knew that this new title was focused on a multiplayer component, on a larger scale than IX, but I missed an important detail: it's an MMORPG. With monthly fees. Arrgh! I thought the Final Fantasy series had already proven that making your numbered games MMORPGs was a bad idea, why are they trying this once again!?

Unless it's got a sizeable single player mode with no extra fees, I'll have to skip this one...
