Configuring Dragon Quest X Settings

This guide will cover how to access the Dragon Quest X settings menu, as well as providing translated menus for each section.

'''There is also an English translated config executable that you can download here. To use it, place it in the "Game" folder in DQX's installation directory. By default, this will be "C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix\DRAGON QUEST X\Game". (Make sure to back up the current DQXConfig.exe inside that folder first.)'''

Please note that every time the game updates, it will replace this exe with the original Japanese one, so you will have to re-download and replace this executable again.

If you'd rather not use this executable, continue reading below.

How can I access the settings menu?
Two ways:


 * By default, the config executable is in
 * In the launcher, click on the purple Dracky on the right.



Why does the settings page show "???" for all of the options?
If your computer locale isn't set to Japanese, Windows is unable to interpret the characters displayed in the various menus. Although this isn't an issue, it can make navigating through the menus slightly confusing. Instead of going through the hassle of changing your system locale, you can download a program called Locale Emulator to emulate an application with a specific locale.

Download Locale Emulator and run the  executable to install the software. Navigate to the config executable for Dragon Quest X (referenced in the previous section), right-click on it, highlight Locale Emulator and click "Run in Japanese". This will properly show the appropriate glyphs.
