At least from a player perspective, Dragon Quest X appears to be moderately successful for Square Enix. A total of 300,000 people are playing the RPG every day, producer Yosuke Saito has said.
Saito shared the news as part of a talk with Japanese website 4Gamer. He said:
“We’ve only released the game in Japan, so you’ll be getting only Japan’s numbers, but we have about 300,000 people a day who actively enjoy the game. Thanks to having released version 2 at the end of last year, we’ve had even more active players since then.
At the time, we feared that version 2 could have actually decreased the amount of players. However, that didn’t happen so we were relieved. Well, it was a little unexpected that people who purchased version 2 and haven’t even been to Lendagia [One of the main continents in Dragon Quest X].”
Yet another specially-designed 3DS XL model has been revealed for Japan. The latest, pictured above, is a system based on Pokemon Battle Trozei.
Those who participate in a competition on the Pokemon Daisuki Club website and win will receive the 3DS XL. At least for now, it’s not available for purchase.
