A Wii MMO? There's no way I'll be able to access that! First off, I'm already playing an MMO and second, even if I didn't have a regular one to sink spend my time on in the evenings, the big TV is always hogged so I'd never get it to myself. gonk
And with both the online FF MMO's being flops (XI didn't do too well, but I didn't know that FF XIV was an MMO too. The More You Know.)
As for the statistics discussed earlier: That's in Japan, where this game is all the rage. I'm fearing how it will do in NA markets because it's not as hot of an item here, so I don't know if we'll have the huge band of users using multiplayer at the same time.
I don't know if it will come to our shores, and if it does, I'm not sure how it will do in the market.
Ah, I sound too negative, don't I?

I was actually fearing the same thing. Especially depending on the level of the things only available to you via online content and not single player questing (DQIX has a main campaign that took me... I don't know... 35 hours to get through? And the stuff after that that involved DLC quests and grottos took up all the rest of my 300+ hours). And DQIX was given a good marketing shift over here, not to mention all the fans VIII drew in. I think the best thing for X to have over here would be a strong single player campaign in addition to the online stuff, so that people can enjoy it alone first and online second, and if more people are enjoying it alone, more people will be around for online play too. ANd you can create up to 3 characters of your own, like in DQIX. So I do think DQ is more popular then it has been before over here... But that's sadly still not that much compared to other series.
Even if it does look pretty cool and we accept the MMO for what it is, I wonder if the game will even be released over here. I remember hearing that, in fact, Square Enix didn't want to release the game over here, but Nintendo did want to release it. I don't know if that still holds true or not. But right now that's my main concern regarding DQX.
And by the by, I really like that new trailer, and the designs for the 5 tribes. They all look suitably Toriyama-esque, and they are very varied in their clothing and appearances. I want to see worlds. I want to see the world! I want to traipse all over DQVIII-esque fields again!
