I understand that there are some hoops but learning Japanese is another level of hurdle than setting this up by following an 8 minute Youtube video lol.
Hey do you have any updates on how this is working for you? Might try this out when I'm ready to give X a shot.
It's working recently enough. The keyboard controls are a bit crap and the game didn't recognize my dualsense inputs.
Being in QC I couldn't use the deepl api fire the untranslated stuff. So I had to set up Google translate instead.
I basically made it through the intro of the ogre race and stopped there for now. Will get back to it later.

Please explain how the hell you got this running lolWorks on Steam Deck, I have an SD card setup to boot to Windows 10. This is my third time through the first part of the game and it's crazy how much better the translation tools are than when I first played through.
Nothing much to it, just installed Windows 10 to an SD card by following a random guide and then installed Dragon Quest X and Clarity the same as I did on my normal desktop.
You don't need to even have an account logged in to play a trial character, but it's local to that machine only. I set one up on my Deck and Switch to take the photo.

Bumping this 2 month old thread to say I FINALLY started Version 2 (the first expansion, The Sleeping Hero and the Guided Allies). Already got introduced to this dude wearing a hilarious outfit who I presume will be a key figure in this expansion.

They never said they would. I wouldn't hold my breath. But this one is lovely to play and you can essentially play the whole thing singleplayer with AI party members so.....
Already off to a great start. I'm not a real big DQ fan, but Version 1 is the most fun I had with the series ever. I imagine if you are a huge fan of the series this game is insane lol
OP
OP
No problem. Need people to know that the era of this game being unplayable for us non-Japanese speakers is over!
I'm close to the end of DQX Offline and while I've had a great time, that screenshot reminds me how much better looking the OG is. I occasionally get cutscenes with this non-deformed artstyle, but I'm guessing they're just lifted from DQX proper.
OP
OP
iirc it's coming as DLC at some point, think it was meant to be last year but was delayed.
The worst part is is that they could have still done chibi/SD stuff and made it look less unpleasant. DQVII and XI 3DS, DQ9 etc. all have chibi models that still sort of keep proportions a bit. Idk why they went for 2 steps removed from Pokemon BDSP.
I should really get around to DQX Offline at some point though.
One of the few instances i was looking for an answer and actually found one.
OP
OP
Just wanna clarify that 1 and 2 features non-machine translation through a ton (all?) of the story quests, not just the cutscenes.
I agree though, I played through most of v1 with machine translation and got used to it pretty quick.
Just bumping this thread since Version 3 and 4 are translated now. Good timing too, I haven't started v4 yet.

Oops, forgot to reply to this. Not the story content, but that's releasing at the end of this month:
Dragon Quest X Offline expansion ‘The Sleeping Hero and the Guiding Ally’ launches May 26 in Japan
Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline expansion “The Sleeping Hero and the Guiding Ally” will launch on May 26 in Japan for 4,400 yen, publisher Square Enix and developer B.B.…

It has worked out well for me... Though I sorta question whether I should put off playing it so the wait for the next expansion isn't so brutal (assuming they even do it - sales for Offline were surprisingly good but iunno how this will hold up with the gap).

It's square enix
please enjoy ver 3, now presented as a text adventure ft. the Portopia "AI".
Yeah it's a shame I would love to try this but as I'm from the EU I need a VPN which puts it in the too much hassle to bother territory for me.
I wish SE would bring this over after the success of DQ 11 there should be enough interest here but the game is probably too big and old for them to even consider it at this point.
I use mudfish as my vpn and while it is paid I only pay like $3 and don't have to think about it for years, allot of people in the DQX discord also use mudfish
I'm not so sure. DQ in general gets a lot of flak for being too traditional or archaic. The same goes for DQ10. It's a great game, but I can't see it gaining much traction here. I know that they had English marketing materials done up for a survey way back in 2013 and someone on GAF had participated in a CBT for the game back then.
Version 1-4 now playable in English
Main story up to 6.0 is now translated.

Another bump from me to say that every single expansion in the game is now hand fantranslated (main story content). Yes, that means Version 1-6 (edit: meant Version 1 up to 6.0, the 6.1-5 stuff isn't translated yet).
Also, the translation process has been sort of streamlined (no longer need Akhmon).

Yes, you can hire other people's characters as AI party members.
Its even more easily soloable since you can recruit other people's characters. After a certain level(80 something i think) you need to pay with gil but if you recruit from your guild its half off and if its a friend its free. If you have multiple characters you can recruit your own characters to your party.
My X-Men cosplay for example lol
translation is pc only, from what i understand there are people in the dev team also translating the offline release too and that will have the switch version too.
Lucky PC people!
Even though the idiots at SE made an offline version and still decided to not translate it, I knew if nothing else it meant a much easier fan translation one day.
I only play on Switch so probably wont ever get to enjoy the online version like this in a language I can understand, but maybe the offline one eventually.

Where are you getting the news that Version 6 is fully translated? Based on the spreadsheet and the discussions on their discord only 6.0 is done, there's still 6.1-6.5 to go.
There's already good progress being made on the offline translation too, it's in public access now and contains mostly hand-written translations ported over from the online version (some bits are still machine-translated, the work is far from done). It should work with the JP version of DQ10-Offline on a hacked switch.
Soon enough we'll be able to play DQ10 full in english, one way or another. Can't really be a western DQ fan without fiddling with patching fan translations to imported copies, lol

Guess I'm still stuck in FFXIV notation lol, I just meant up to 6.0.
Can you link this?
This is amazing, I'll definitely download and give it a go. Need a go to online game after feeling burned from FF14 and Destiny and DQ is my favorite franchise.
Any video guides for new players that are recommended?

DQX Offline progress being made! Public build now available.
Here's the reddit post about it. (I checked and I'm pretty sure everything there is kosher, just links to the translation. If it's not lmk I'll remove it)

This is so sick. I try to keep this thread as kind of a general DQX-for-the-west situation so I'll keep a lookout for this and threadmark this as well.

https://dqxabbey.com/pages/getting_started.html This is mostly for downloading DQX itself and making an account (navigating the JP website, etc). Once you have that setup you can transition to this part which is super easy: https://github.com/dqx-translation-project/dqxclarity/wiki/Installation
And I suggest joining the Discord server (just look up DQX Worldwide). The people in the clarity-questions channel are SUPER helpful and respond real quick. People in general are really helpful in there if you're lost on a quest or whatever else.
If you need any help you can just @ me in here (or quote me) or DM me on here.
