http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2012/09/dragon-quest-x.jpg (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/22/dragon-quest-x-headed-to-japanese-pcs/)Dragon Quest X (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/04/square-enix-unveils-tgs-line-up-dragon-quest-x-wiiu-included/) will come to Japanese Windows machines on September 26, Square Enix announced today during a livestream broadcast. The Toriyama-infused MMO, which originally debuted on the Wii last August (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/08/dragon-quest-x-sells-more-than-400-000-at-launch/), also launched on Wii U (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/04/04/dragon-quest-x-wii-u-has-weak-launch-at-japanese-retail/) in March, though to comparatively lackluster results.
The PC version will be available in two flavors: A ¥3,990 standard edition (http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/SE-G0051?sscd=dqx_official_pc130622) that includes 20 days of free game time, and a ¥9,800 "Special Pack (http://store.jp.square-enix.com/detail/SE-W0013)" bundle, which comes with a DQX-themed controller, security authenticator, Monster Encyclopedia, microfiber world map and item code for an as-of-yet unannounced in-game goodie.
Folks interested in getting in on the ongoing beta test can do so by downloading Nvidia's benchmarking tool – successfully passing will provide the opportunity to apply for beta access. Oh, and you need to speak Japanese. That's kind of an important piece to this whole "non-westernized Japan-only RPG" puzzle.
