I certainly wouldn't mind waiting if they actually decided to.
And I hope they do.

I wouldn't put it past Square-Enix to release two versions of the game in Japan. The first features a local multi-player. Then after the US and EUR releases (which feature on-line multi-player via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection), Japan gets the title re-released with this feature added plus being able to market the game as the "International Edition" at the same time, heh.

But honestly, I don't see any on-line feature being added for this particular Dragon Quest game. Next one for whatever console/handheld, yes.

I think you may be thinking of this article:

Where Yoichi Wada said they were exploring marketing strategies for DQIX, but didn't set a timeline. I guess that's sort of a confirmation! I doubt Square Enix is going to leave DQIX in Japan anyway. I do wonder if Square Enix will hold the game back for extra features like networked online play and such.

Looks fun, but what is with the seemingly-pointless seconds of running around after each command phase? It wore on my patience even in the trailer, for chrissakes… Then again, wearing on your patience is part of the charm of Dragon Quest, I guess.

They haven't announced it for North America yet?? Man I thought this was a done deal already, and that they were gonna do their best to do a speedy localization. Wow I'm sure I read about this here, too.
