Dragon Quest X: Difference between revisions

|platforms = [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], [[3DS]], [[Microsoft Windows]], [[Android]]

Two physical expansion packs were released for the game: ''Nemureru Yūsha to Michibiki no Meiyū'' in 2013 and ''Inishie no Ryuu no Denshou'' in 2015. Also, there was a manga series, ''Dragon Quest: Souten no Soura''.

The game includes a quest system like in ''Dragon Quest X'', but with some changes. Quests serve as side-stories helping non-player characters around the game's world. Multiple quests can be performed simultaneously with some even interlocking and unlocking various stages in fellow quests. Early quests include gathering magical spring water, slaying monsters and stealing for a fellow thief. Like the previous ''Dragon Quest'' installment, ''Dragon Quest X'' contains many open ended mini-quests. Upon completion of the quests, a "Quest List log," serving as an in-game achievement list. There are also brand new "Job quests" that can only be received when you have the job that is requested.

This game also includes two new features as a reference to other RPG game: the [[Fire Colosseum]] and the [[Magic Laberynth]]. The Fire Colosseum allows the player challenge again some storyline bosses that are modified to be stronger and the Magic Laberynth acts like the [[Grotto|grottos]] of ''[[Dragon Quest IX]]''. Although the first one is located at the top of a snowy mountain, several laberynths can be encountered during the gameplay, and in the most strange possible places, like a mirror in the Royal Palace of [[Gran Zedoura]] in [[Rendaashia]].

Like the rest of ''Dragon Quest'' games, except for ''Dragon Quest IX'', the game allows the player to save their progress in 3 different save slots.

* Highly customizable characters, with many different faces, skin colors, weapons and armours. This game also included different races like the [[Human|human]], [[Ogre (race)|ogre]], [[Weddie (race)|weddie]], [[Puklipo (race)|puklipo]], [[Elf|elf]] and [[Dwarf (race)|dwarf]].

The story begins on the village of [[Eteene]], the home of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest X)|hero]] and [[Hero's sibling|his/her sibling]], when the hero is looking at the sky at the centre of the village, the sibling calls him, and he/she is showed to be riding the turtle [[Kame-sama]] along with [[Lady Abba|lady Abba]], the eldest woman of Eteene. When Kame-sama reaches the point where the hero is, his sibling offers him to ride with them, however lady Abba refuses and starts talking with the Hero.

A strange noise awakens the hero from this dream, only to learn that his/her sibling accidentally destroyed the village's supply of Perky Beans, lady Abba's favorite food, in an attempt to multiply them via alchemy. At Eteene's church the hero meets lady Abba's grandson, [[Singh]], who instructs the hero to gather various items from the local villagers, so that he can fashion a pillow to serve as a compensation for the lost of the [[Perky bean|perky beans]]. Lady Abba then asks the hero to look for his/her sibling, and despite being upset at Singh for disturbing her, she still uses the pillow he made, falling into a deep sleep. After locating his/her sibling in a clu-de-sac trying to do more alchemy at the [[Eteene region]], the hero returns to the village, where Lady Abba announces that village will surely be destroyed, with no survivors. However, hope remains in the form of a plant known as the flower of Tensu, which blooms in a [[Cave of the Acuatic Trees|cave]] to the [[Unnamed Flowerfield|north]]. The hero, his/her sibling, and Singh are chosen to retrieve it. Arriving at the cave, the party interrumpts a demon called [[Bedora]], who attempts to destroy the Flowers of Tensu to prevent their use. Bedora fights the trio, but when he lost, and in a last attempt to fulfil his mission attacks one last time the flowers destroying them; however, one of them survives his rampage.  

The party is seemingly too late however, as the village is under attack by the time they return. In an attempt to protect his/her sibling from an oncoming fireball, the hero unknowingly casts a spell long thought to have been lost to history; the ability to surpass time. The hero's sibling is safe, though is teletransported elsewhere; a monster witnessed the event and quickly to notifies his master, Lord [[Hades Nergel|Nergel]], who was supervising the attack. Nergel with a fire spell apparently kills both the Hero and Singh and to assure that the hero won't rise again he places a dark seal covering the central continent of [[Astortia]], [[Rendaashia]]; trapping all its inhabitants in the deepest darkness.

Kame-sama, which survived the siege of Eteene thanks to its magic powers, uses a spell that splits the soul of the hero of his corpse and transports it to the [[Heavenly Shrine]] where he is given the option of been born again but as a member of one of the citizens of the [[Tribes in Dragon Quest X|Five Tribes]].
