My first Dragon Quest game after 8. This was amazing. I saw a review that said it should be played like a bedtime story. Kind of tracks. I put over 120 hours into it. Just so much goodness here.
DQ11 is a turn-based, character driven JRPG with a story that is light but still has some surprises. I describe the game as "JRPG comfort food". It's oozing with charm, from the memorable characters to the silly and sometimes outrageous enemies. It's not a hard game to beat, but there are some difficulty settings that can be enabled when you first start to make it more interesting (I turned on "stronger monsters", "protagonist death results in game over" and "reduced experience from easy fights" - though "no shopping" and "townsfolk sometimes lie" were very intriguing options). There are 7 characters, only 4 in your party at a time, and they're very well balanced - I rotated them constantly.
There are some great QoL enhancements in this game that I wish earlier games in the series had. For example: you unlock the fast travel spell early on, you can ride horses almost right away making it easy to avoid encounters if you want; skill trees can be respec'd for a small fee; you can play the entire game in 2D with old school graphics if you want (Definitive Edition only). No missable items/bosses/story/anything. And arguably the best QoL feature especially for those of us adults that have little gaming time - every time you load up your save you get a brief reminder of where you're at in the story.
Overall, this is my favorite Dragon Quest of all time, and I love the series. It's a great game to unwind to before bed or play throughout the day. You don't need to be a longtime fan of the series to enjoy it.
