An English translation project for Dragon Quest X Awakening Five Races Offline that not only adapts, but also expands and refines the original translation done by DQXClarity.

While this translation shares a glossary with DQXClarity, many portions, such as the UI, have been done from the ground-up.

This ensures consistency when switching from Offline to Online modes, or vice versa, as many terms (including items, characters, etc.) will remain the same. However, you can also expect to find several enhancements and improvements beyond this.

Features

Overall: 80-90% English
Main Story Cutscenes and Quests: 95-99% English
Job Quests and Sidequests: 65-75% English
UI Elements: 80-90% English
