Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age
A young man, about to participate in his village’s coming of age ceremony, travels to a Sacred Stone alongside his childhood friend. After a series of unexpected events, this intrepid adventurer learns he is the reincarnation of a legendary hero from a forgotten age. The young hero sets forth into an unknown world on a journey to unravel the mystery of his past… but the welcome he receives is far from warm. Upon revealing his identity to the King, the hero is branded as “The Darkspawn” and hunted by a relentless army. Fleeing from his pursuers, the hero assembles a band of endearing adventurers who believe he is actually The Luminary reborn. The hero and his newfound companions embark on a quest that will take them across continents and over vast oceans as they learn of an ominous threat facing the world.

7/10. Loved Act and Two. Act three spits on the glory of One and Two.
Act 3 was some wild bullshit. Story was weak and weird. And i'm not into grinding or BDSM.
This philosophy of "Difficulty" is not my thing. #NotMyCupOfTea.
I would recommend just play One and Two. That's my ending :)

Absolutely loved it. It's everything you'd expect from a DQ game and more, tons of content to get through.

This game is a masterpiece but steam reloads my corrupted saves from 2020.
I played the whole day and my saves disappeared from the folder. The game crashes at startup because of the downloaded corrupt saves downloaded from the steam cloud (it automatically does this, even after i disabed steam cloud for this game being aware of this problem).
Saves your parties into different slots in the game and manually copy the saves folder into your drive just in case !

DQ11 was one of those games that sat dormant in my backlog since purchasing it at launch (for full price mind you). At the end of the day, I'm glad I got to it. The game has a few blemishes like the MIDI composition and a brutal end game that forces you to grind out or complete the extra content, Ultimately, it can be looked past by the beautiful visuals, charming narrative, and solid RPG mechanics.
In terms of PC performance, it's solid. I remember the game running pretty flawlessly on my last build, and the remainder of what I played on my current rig is good too. Just set it to full screen mode, as there is a screen-tearing bug in borderless windows mode for some GPUs.
If you still have the original edition in your library, it cannot be upgraded to the Definitive Edition. You have to commit to finishing this version or letting your wallet take another hit. Don't fret too much, as the Definitive Edition is priced lower and goes on sale quite frequently.

I would recommend it because it's beautiful and has a cute story. HOWEVER...if you get motion sickness from certain camera motions in games, this game may not be for you. I got through a bit and then I had to call it quits. It makes me nauseous. If that doesn't bother you, this game is great. Gorgeous animation.

One of my all time favorite games. I've been a long time dragon quest fan and I simply adore the cast and story from the game. It may be a bit simple, but in my mind, that's what makes it so great. Being able to tell such a simple story, but making it feel like an epic adventure you have never dreamt of being on. Game play is fun, a ton of quality of like improvements, and a charming joy ride of a game. 10/10 Would recommend
