honestly as someone who did not like dragon quest 9 and who was also initially not a fan of the new character designs for v6 i had seen which were very obviously not done by toriyama if you look at the hair and the eyes for even a second, this one surprised me. some of the best characters in the series writing wise as to be expected from dq10 at this point, as well as some insane high points story wise. the set up for the expansion guarantees that most new concepts and characters probably aren't going to stick around as the game moves forward which is a bummer, and while it hits higher highs than v5 and even surpasses v4 in moments for sure it struggles to be as consistently good as either expansion. however, i'm a lot less cautious about the future of dq10 having played v6 and i'm very excited to play v7, especially with those screens of the expansion's beautiful environments we've been getting in v-jump.
6.0:
Celestrians and other things from 9 returning is cool. I really like the becoming a god plotline that is being set up. The ending was very exciting and I look forward to playing newer updates.
6.1:
Good progression of the story. Half the evil gods get dealt with and I didn't expect the plot twist villain at the end. The SSJ3 dwarf hero is my favorite dwarf in the game so far.
6.2:
I really liked the brother storyline and WHY DID THIS PLOT BECOME ANGELS VS ALIENS!? This storyline is definitely one of my favorites in the entire game. Can not wait to see how it continues to unfold.
6.3:
I loved this so much. Heroes of the Heavenly Stars has quickly become my favorite expansion. This is a top tier Square Enix game and I now patiently await the next story update. The villains and story were just so good.
6.4:
Main antagonists in this segment are incest alien twins which is just weird. I enjoyed Mereade and time travel coming back. Solid update but could've been better.
After Beating:
My favorite expansion in the game. I loved the new allies, villains, setting, and themes. Also was really reminiscent of the game that got me into the series which made me happy.

6.4 made this entire expansion a 5 for me, This xpac though made me realize this game has the opposite problem of XIV. Where in XIV I don't wanna see Y'shtola anymore and feel shes overused, I feel as Anlucia is extremely underused, Hope this changes in V7! but doubt it That's my only negative everything else was great and I was extremely engaged in the story.
EDIT: 11/18/2023 I completely dropped this one whole ass star because 6.5 part 2 was not it and I hated how they handled Anlucia whichi I said originally but it was even worse in 6.5 overall lol
