    I’ve played and completed the Switch version last year, and I cannot recommend this game enough. The fact it’s now on all consoles is even better. It’s one of the most polished games I’ve ever played, forging is addictive, and we even get more story content than in the original. And orchestral tracks too. And I guarantee you’ll miss something when you explore each area. And if you go into story events out of order, the game compensates for this and goes with it.

    Playing this game is the most fun I've had in years. I played DQIX on the DS and loved that so I knew I'd love XI. Everything about the game is just SO good. The story, the characters, the battle mechanics, the music, the gear. There also isn't a single missable achievement/trophy which means you can accomplish everything on 1 save file, and you can do a completely blind playthrough without worrying about missing anything. I have about 85 hours and I've not even finished Act 2, the game is unbelievably epic.

    I do have a very major complaint about definitive edition compared to the original.
    Massive Spoilers
    At the start of Act 2 they add a bunch of scenes that show you what happened to each of your party members before you join the luminaty as a fish. While these are interesting scenes they completely kill the vibe of the start of Act 2. In the original game you wake up in Nautica as a fish alone and with no idea what is really going on. You then go to see Queen Marina who shows you the ruined devastation of the world and you get this sense that the Last Bastion is all that remains of society. However with seeing all these scenes we are made aware that not only most of your party is fine but also the towns across the world are fine as well

    Thanks for making this, I heard that the graphics were just carried over, I also heard it was only 30fps, textures not updated, etc...
    After watching this, I'm going to grab the demo and see what I think. I already beat this on PC, but was bummed about not being able to get the extra content (this was a while ago). Coincidentally, I just decided to revisit this game and am not that far in (just escaped the first dungeon), so what a great time to see if S is the version I want to replay. If it's only $40, and not $60...hey, maybe. Or, I can always wait for a sale.

    Downloaded it on Xbox Game Pass and I love it so far. Decided to play the 2D version of the game because I love DQ V and VI and the sprite work reminds me of those games. I'm about 10 hours in and I've enjoyed it so far.

    I have never played a game like dragon quest before and now for the past week I can’t stop playing it

    Picking up the game I was pretty underwhelmed by the Story but that was alright because the gameplay was so well done that I thought of the game as something acts as a benchmark for future turn based RPG game. I 100% agree with you on point about the game looking very simple on the surface.

    4:10 I love that scene so much. Rab just tries to play it off so poorly like how did that get in there and Jade calls him out. It's teased that it's a porn mag and his backpack is full of them. This is just one of several gems in the story. I couldn't recommend this game enough.

    In the demo, I died to the griffons which was surprising. I didn't think that I had to farm up a bit in the demo. The demo is so good! Still debating if I should get it now or wait for a deal.

    I love this game. Bought it 3 times. Ps4, switch and ps4s. I even like it more than 5. Played almost all of the dq mainline games and this is by far my favorite. It looks amazing on ps5

    I loved the game on switch and got full 100%. I even grinded all attributes to 99. Only sad thing is i don't feel like it's really replayable.

    I hope future DQ games come to the Xbox like XI S did. I have a switch and loved both builder games. I was going to buy it on switch but I’d rather have it on a more powerful console. When it was out on GamePass for Xbox I jumped on it. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come and all consoles get a port.

    I played DQXIS on PC, it was my first time with the game and with the franchise and I absolutely loved it, I don´t know if it´s one of my favourite games, but it´s one of the best games I´ve ever played, so, for everyone who´s doubting to play it, just do it, you won´t regret it.
    This review described everything that I felt while playing, is this Toriyama´s magic?

    The graphics were good enough to not be a concern to me when I played the switch version. The story structure could be broken into episodes that focus on each town with their problems being resolved. It seems to be a bit on rails, however it isn't much linear either. You can stop around and work on side quests that'll give you good rewards. They are also served in Tickington where you fix all sorts of problems. Some of them harbor powerful bosses like the newly-revived Baramos. There's even a metal king slime who is tired of its brethren being exploited for power gains. So it fused with 2 other metal king slimes to enact revenge as a giant. And after you split them up, they do what they do best........ Run Away! The forging system was quite a step up from the Alchemy Pot I'm familiar with. I was fortunate enough to forge a Supreme Sword of Light +3. I did like how the team got progressively stronger as the story goes on. It's even shown in cutscenes like where we saw Serena had learned Kaswoosh and Multiheal in act 2. Each party member seems to gain a lot of character development throughout the story. The Watchers totally reminded me of the likes of Zeno and Buu from the Dragon Ball series. I did like freely moving in the battle area even though it had no real effects. Each battle was so enjoyable that i never wanted to use the new speed-up feature. The final battle had me on edge of my seat. It was so satisfying to knock out one of the arms to have the giant fireball attack be used against the enemy instead. As someone who hadn't played III yet, I thought the phase 2 theme was from XI S. The symphonic soundtrack was another highlight that made the final boss even better. While this is indeed one of the best DQ games I played, I'm not sure what's my all time favorite now. It's either VIII on 3DS, or the new XI S. Rating: 10/10

    It's cool this video exists, and is a good video. But my brain is fried trying to make a complete timeline of this series and if Dragon Quest IX takes place between the first 2 games, and if Dragon Quest VII is the last game in the Erdrick Timeline

  • @SadlySorrowful

    I bought this because it is similar to braverly default 2. I played dragon quest series on the Gameboy and enjoyed it even the spin offs. Final fantasy x was my favorite game of all time and this game looks similar so definitely had to buy it. I also played octopath traveler and liked the 2d aspect the game also provides.

    Disclaimer: I play on a regular PS4. So it may be that the pro players have a different experience.
    I got Dragon Quest XI S for the Japanese voice-overs and the orchestral soundtrack.
    After skipping the pre rendered intro videos, I had a huge shock when I saw the environment. Instead of the beautiful grasslands, which could have been taken from a Ghibli movie, the valleys now look like from a PS2 game. I can't say 100% what scales down the graphics the most, but I think it's because of the number of blades of grass, which has been reduced by about half, making the ground textures shine through much more.
    For most people this shouldn't be a problem, but for me personally these feel-good moments, where I just stop and absorb the surroundings, were very important.
    These moments complement this heartwarming story about friendship.
    Now when I was outside of a city, I thought all the time about how much better it looks on the "old" version and went back to it.
    At least for me is XI S not the definitive edition.
