This game is a lot of wasted potential, but even among that I found a lot to love. I can’t forgive the level cap system being poorly implemented and the evident plot details missing. Content bloat is also a constant issue due to the lack of coherent plot and character side plots, resulting in consistent tedium during a lot of the latter half of the game. I understand the prevalent mentality behind skipping 6 and after playing it I kinda agree. I had a great time but this is certainly a hard title to suggest unless you’re in the thick of DQ as a franchise and need to assuage your curiosity.
