Interesting thing to point out. On a recent stream for the Dragon Quest series they mentioned something about a single player version of DQX being in the works. Exactly how far it goes in comparison to the MMO I don't fully recall. It might have only been the first few story lines.

If you want to try out DQX and own a Nintendo Switch you can create a Japanese nintendo account on it and try it out for free as the game has a free trial version now comparable to what we have here on FFXIV. I think it gives you access to the base game and their first major essentially 2.0 content update.

They did not announce any plans during the Dragon Quest stream about releasing it out to this region. The other things I recall from it were the announcement of DQXII being in development. A spin off game of DQXI that came off as kind of mystery dungeon like to me, a type of pixel remaster of the early titles similar to the pixel remasters of the early FF series games, a couple new mobile games, and teaser for the next DQX expansion they were coming out with.
