=How to play the Free Trial=
==PC==
===Downloading the Game===
You have two options for downloading Dragon Quest X:
* [https://download.dqx.jp/dqlaunc/DQXInstaller_ft.exe Download] the game from the official site. This download will be slow if you don't reside in Japan (patching can take 3-4+ hours), but is the official method to installing the game. <br>
* [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YdvkTUav8HuzSWNGcujWlrjVLkdmnFbe/view?usp=sharing Download] the full, zipped up version of the game hosted on Google Drive. This consists of versions 1-5 and will allow you to get started much faster as you aren't going to be throttled when updating through the launcher.
 
If you chose the the Google Drive route, here's how to install it once it's completed downloading: <br>
* The download is compressed with 7-Zip, a compression tool. If you can't unzip it, you will need to grab 7-Zip [https://www.7-zip.org/ from their site] (or use any other tool that can extract compressed 7-Zip files)
* Un-zip "DRAGON QUEST X_FULL.7z", which has a folder called "DRAGON QUEST X" inside
* Create a new folder in "C:\Program Files (x86)" called "SquareEnix" and copy the "DRAGON QUEST X" folder inside. Do not copy the folder inside the folder into here, but instead, make sure "DRAGON QUEST X" exists inside of "C:\Program Files (x86)\SquareEnix"
* Go inside the "DRAGON QUEST X" folder you just copied and navigate inside the "Boot" folder
* Right-click "DQXBoot.exe" and go to "Send To", then "Desktop (Create Shortcut)"
* Close out of the folder and go to your desktop, then double click on the "DQXBoot" icon on your desktop
* That's it!
 
===Accounts===
There are a few different ways that you can play the game:
 
> Create a Japanese Square Enix account and then go [https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/dqxTrialtop?_ga=2.97542815.1685626417.1557711560-349309518.1525770604 here] and select the top option to login to your Japanese account, or the bottom option to make one. Afterwards, the free trial will be registered on the account and you can then login on the launcher to play.<br> '''First time users on PC will need to use the wide, tan button on the bottom left''' to "Register a Player" to register your account to launcher. After that, you can launch Dragon Quest X by logging into your Japanese Square Enix account normally.

> Alternatively, you can begin to Play using the "Easy Play"(かんたんプレイ) option. This will allow you to play without the need to create an account, with an option allowing you to link to an account at a later date. The save data is kept on your computer though, so if you lose those files in your Documents folder, that character is gone.
