Finally after a while i finish the platinum for DQ11, it was a good one, for an RPG its not really that long, no missables, you can take your time and finish anything in any order pretty much, def one of my favorites

the only dragon quest games i played before was the DS and 3DS ones, mostly because FINAL FANTASY DIED after X, so i was looking for a real RPG and not the bs that final fantasy became, and yeah, dragon quest thankfully been delivering since forever, and i will play every single one of them now because i got curious given that you go back in time to the previous luminaires on the game, i want to know how much of that i can pin point in each game

I don't really mind the random combat RNG, but i also don't hate the enemies visible and you can choose which battles you take now, actually i think it would be amazing if you could choose just like this one, you can choose playing 2D or 3D, amazing choice and i will prob play again in a different way because of this

The story is rather simple, but the characters are very interesting, its aways the high point on Dragon Quest, the party is aways very interesting imo, I only played in the OG language, Japanese, so i cannot tell you about how the Dub is tbh, but i never heard anything bad about it. There are plenty of very unexpected surprises in the story, with most of them being genuinely well written and well delivered, it had a few fake outs for and end, but the plot twists were not that bad, so i didn't mind that much, and in general, even if the game does overstay its welcome a bit by the end, it feels like a fun adventure with ancient mysteries, i am a big fan of how you keep in touch with the previous luminaries and stuff

Dragon Quest XI (S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition) is a fantastic game and an experience worth of your time. It does many things perfectly right. It looks good, sooooo good, and even better, it feels good.

Def recommend for those individuals that enjoy the superior tastes of a TURN BASED RPG, they still live out there, go save the world!
