Dragon Quest XI will be an offline game for home consoles, says Yuji Horii to FFring.com. The interview was done in Japanese and translated to French, but this NeoGAF post translated some key quotes into English. For those asking who this man is, Yuji Horii created the Dragon Quest franchise, one of the oldest and most influential of JRPGs.
Many were unhappy that Dragon Quest X pulled a Final Fantasy XI and went MMO, but this interview seems to have been aimed at easing fears of what the future holds, stating specifically that Dragon Quest XI will “return to the roots of Dragon Quest,” will “be an offline game,” and “is designed for home consoles.”
To clarify that final quote, the original poster of the thread (who translated from Japanese to English) stated that, as Japanese handles plurality differently, Horii may or may not have meant multiple consoles.
While not much else is known about this title other than it is coming, this is just another piece of news that indicates that this generation will be a good one for JRPG fans.
