DQX is not available outside of Japan, but with a VPN and some tools you can still play the free trial with automatized translation (Look for DQX Abbey, they have a guide and a Discord server and everything).

It has aged a little, and the character options might seem more limited than FFXIV at first glance, but if you look at their premium store or even other players you'll realize that the simpler graphics allow for a lot more flexibility in customization.

I'll just share some Puklipo screenshots I took because I almost went for one based on the preview animations alone:



Looking at the premium store and comparing to FFXIV was a bit of an eye-opening moment I have to say...
