RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

Square Enix has opened the official site for the Dragon Quest X beta. While registration has not yet begun, the FAQ covers eligibility, the selection process, and some basic info for players new to beta testing. In particular:

• Only Square Enix Members in Japan are eligible to register, with a preference for those players who will actively test for and report bugs.
• There is no time limit for beta applications, and players can continue to apply even after testing begins. Admission is not on a first-apply-first-in basis.
• The beta kit includes a game disc, instruction manual, and a Wii USB memory card.
• Your character will likely not be useable in the final retail version, though testers will get a special item as a bonus.
• Gameplay will cover the prologue and a few boss fights, though players won’t be able to progress in the story.

Applications will start being accepted in mid-November. An exact date was not specified. The beta site can be found this-a-way.
