I've wanted to play the Japan-exclusive MMO Dragon Quest 10 for a very long time, so much so that I knowingly bought a region-locked copy in Japan in the unlikely event I'd one day scrounge up the money for an imported Wii U despite not being able to read Japanese (I still haven't). More recently, I resorted to a fan translation project which, while serviceable, isn't the ideal way to play the acclaimed MMO, which got an offline version (still exclusive to Japan) in 2022.
Call it hopium, but the optimist in me still has faith that Dragon Quest 10 could be in line for a global release, and I'm desperately hanging on to recent comments from Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu for validation.
