There is an online connection required to play all of Dragon Quest X therefore it is an MMO game.
I thought one of the earlier posts clarified that you don't need an internet connection, you can play with NPC party members?

I'll admit being a little worried, but I have faith in them. I heard DQIX lost some of the feel of the series with the direction it went but I'll reserve judgment till I play it. Personally, after DQVIII I wish they'd keep going with really deep, huge worlds with sidequests for the single player to uncover. Multiplayer diminishes that feeling and there's a lot of room for road bmps (especially with it being developed internally at Square.)

It's pretty weird this isn't being handed off to Level-5 - they have experience with HD consoles and with creating multiplayer online games a lot like this. I'm just gonna hope WKC2 is good whenever I pick it up.

Overall I'll have Faith in Horii & Co. He knows how to make an accessible, yet deep and overall well designed games. And if it fails, well, there's tons of games for me to play for the first time and revisit.
