Well Dragon Quest IX and Monster Hunter Tri had monthly fees for online, in Japan. But when they came over here they were free. So maybe if Dragon Quest X does come out over here it'll be F2P. We've seen what happens when a company tried to release an MMO over in the west with a fee (see The Old Republic; also known as TORtanic)

It's a Wii game. Dragon Quest seems to have become Nintendo exclusive over the past few years. It's not exactly a bad thing.

I said the same thing about DQIX.

I'm not fond of the new direction Square Enix has taken Dragon Quest.

Lol you have no idea of what you're talking about. DQX is a basically a full fledged MMORPG. There's no way to turn it into a single player game.
