its not too late. with DQX now on PS4, english on PS4 can happen, and the PS4 communities can make it happen if enough requests are sent out to SE.

https://twitter.com/squareenix?lang=enhttps://twitter.com/SquareEnixUSAhttps://twitter.com/square_enix_eu?lang=enyears ago fans requested, though they didnt grasp the right avenues to get most of the interest aware and motivated to contact SE.
but now people can get more people interested to send polite requests so a larger demand gets noticed. it can happen with enough people sending Square Enix requests for Dragon Quest X localization in North America and Europe.
the game is already ported to PS4, it's just a matter of localizing it.
fan demand made FF Type 0 not only get a port but also localization on consoles, DQX can get localized on PS4 in english, it just requires enough people asking Square Enix for it.
yea DQXI is coming in sept, but that is not DQX and lacks the character creation, diversity of races to play as, community co-op and tons of other things exclusive to DQX.
DQX is a one of a kind masterpiece that the NA and EU regions (and possibly other regions) deserve to be able to play too.
also, DQXI selling well could further encourage them to localize DQX afterwards. So it is important for the PS4 community (and even Switch community) to request localization in english from Square Enix. and it would be ok having DQX alongside FFXIV. the money DQX makes would still go to SE anyways. besides there are those that would subscribe to both FFXIV and DQX.
overall they should not underestimate the millions of PS4 owners that would play DQX, even if its like 200,000+ or 500,000+, that still accumulates profits over time.
Plus there can be cross promotion deals and stuff like that. Overall, SE is an industry giant, they can afford to invest in DQX in english in the west can win big.
Square Enix Japan already did all the hard work porting it to PS4, Square Enix USA/Europe just gotta make it english compatible. yea sure they gotta provide english servers too, but that is easier to do than developing an RPG from scratch. the subscription base will help them recover from any expenses.
plus SE are masters of marketing. Glorify and treat Dragon Quest X as awesome, and the west will be excited for it.
money is no object for fun, and FFXIV proves there is interest in subscription based mmorpgs on console, especially a mmorpg with Akira Toriyama art style, it already has tons of charisma and charm and with customization and features every game should have. plus it would create an all new english social community and fanbase too.
