Dragon Quest X Online Announced By Square Enix

Square Enix just announced their newest entry to their Dragon Quest series, dubbed X Online. Here’s more info from Joystiq:

So, not only is the Wii getting one more huge game — it’s getting a huge online game. Series creator Yuji Horii introduced the first trailer for Dragon Quest X tonight at a reveal event, which culminated in a logo for “Dragon Quest X Online.” Horii called it an “online RPG,” which could refer either to an MMO-style game or a game in which a few players join up into small parties.

The trailer showed a convincingly cel-shaded game with a look similar to Dragon Quest VIII, with characters identified only by classes, including ogres, elves, and dwarves. A party consisting of multiple classes is shown running on a world map, and many of the series’ familiar monsters, including various Slimes, are shown.

The game will be released also for the Wii U which will feature better graphics and also support the 3DS to transfer characters. This game will be developed in-house by Square Enix.

Here’s the reveal trailer:

Users will be able to make weapons, homes, make friends use your character as an NPC when you’re offline, etc. The game will launch with a disc and USB stick for possible updates.

So… what do you think?
