*** Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age ***

Couldn't find any thread so making one of those 'official' threads (so daft).

Anyway, I just picked this up to quench the thirst of a JRPG after I couldn't get on with boy band simulator.

So far, only a couple of hours in but it's super fun, combat is the classic turn based and overall the presentation is incredibly detailed!

Anyone else picked this up?

Oi, the boy band simulator was great! (Not a fan of boy bands btw)

To be honest I did not get that vibe much from that game like some said. I thought it would be much worse than what some made it sound like.

Once I am done playing Witcher 3 again with the DLC this time and revisit FF15 to finish of the final dungeons I never did, then I may pick this up

I wanted to like it, I really did, but I love turn based JRPG's, the combat was fun, but that was about it for me personally

Great thing is they have learned a lot from this and will hopefully do a better job in FF7 Remake. I really want to be able to summon an aeon whenever I want, not when the game allows me to for example.

Sadly they won't have turn based, the combat will be the same as the latest FF.

Anyway, back to Dragon Quest, the pacing is utterly sublime, loving it so far.

Make sure you get the mod that plays the orchestral music rather than the MIDI stuff. So much better.

Oh? I didn't even notice the music being midi? I'll give it a shot.
