At time of writing this he's still on the offline portion of the game, but so far it looks extremely bland.
I've actually been kinda warming towards the game, but now seeing the game actually being played it seems like any old mmo, which is to say: empty stretches of land, with the most interesting looking parts (dense forests, waterfalls and rivers) being just there as scenery you can't interact with or even walk through.
World design in particular is a very important aspect in games for me and this so far looks to be bottom of the barrel stuff.

Ill tell you people this right now quite honestly, if you are those who are obsessed with things like graphics or overly picky about small stuff, then I suggest you dont bother as this game will most likely turn you off.
As its not a "next gen" DQ so to speak. Truthfully do think this game came out waaaaaay too late in its life cycle. Would have done a lot better if they had it ready earlier.
Regardless still seems like a lot of people are playing though for now. Expected of a launch day so will see how it goes as time goes on.

Doesn't look like much a of mess to me. Looks more like pretty universal dislike.
Or trolling, who knows.brettchalupa

Wasn't there another issue like this with a previous DQ game on Amazon? Or was that something else?
I'm interested to see how it sells and if it maintains a decently sized player base!

Looks like the usual 2ch trolling. Same thing happened with DQIX.
Looks just like DQ IX.

he did not update his wii
I bet there are a lot of people that didn't know the game is a MMO and now they have to pay a subscription to play.
It's not down, i am watching other streams too, but that kotaku guy probably hasn't configured his wii or something, and he can't get online.

this guy on kotaku never used a Wii

Game still working just fine for me.
Incredibly strange decision by SE. Is there any kind of special copy protection for this game? Or do you just need the game and a USB stick in order to play it? Otherwise, it's not like not selling the game to foreigners will stop them from laying their hands on it. All SE is doing is pushing otherwise legitimate customers into pirating the game. Who thought that was a smart idea?
Oh well. If it's pirateable someone is bound to try a VPN sooner rather than later. That's a plus, I guess.

Yeah, it's just his system, my bad!
I do really like the vibe of the game though, the graphics are something I can get over if the actual game is fun but I refuse to pay a monthly fee.

You need a serial number that only comes packed with copies of the game.

I can't believe it's out in Japan already, time really flies. I'm hoping against hope that we'll get a Wii version here in the US, but I highly doubt that'll happen. Probably means we won't be getting this until well into next year, if at all :-(

Yeah, me too ... I jumped the gun. Wasn't blaming Wii's online really but just general MMO disconnects and patches that are usually par for the course!
Anybody got another stream link?

the game looks okay in motion, I should not be spoiling myself for the WiiU version in English but yeah I'm going to play as a fish girl ftw
so the single player prologue is about 3-4 hours long?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I think they're in the same group as the other stream?
Edit: yep, they are, so both streams show the same things, just from a different pov.

Uh do you have to pay to watch Justin tv now because that is what it is telling me. So I will stick to the Otaku guy.

Sweet, thanks.
It's weird seeing a Dragon Quest game come out and me not really caring about it. Just watched the stream in the OP for a few minutes and it was just a person fighting the same singular enemy over and over again. Needless to say it didn't make me any more interested in potentially buying this game.

You'd be able to find similar looking streams for any other DQ (or old school JRPG) though... That doesn't mean that's all you do.

I was expecting RedSunGamer to stream, did not expect to be watching Kotaku East

I can imagine if he doesnt have a Japanese Credit card hes not going to get anywhere. That and you can just skip that part altogether.

what is the cheering thing?
Raises the tension of the people you're cheering on. Which raises their attack power.

I wonder if people will change the image of the disc in a way that you can play the game somehow offline anywhere. I have seen crazy things in the past made possible on the Wii, so I wouldn't be surprised.

for Iwata Asks it seems like the server has a lot of resources needed to run the rest of the game the prologue was said to be very hard to get up and running smoothly until they fixed it but it seem the servers do a lot of the work for the Wii once you get to the online part
There are canned phrases you can use, so no it isn't necessary in that sense.
