This series is the main root of my bond with my closest friend, whom quite honestly has saved my life on more than one occasion, in a way, I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for this series, I wouldn’t have really met my best friend, and I would probably be six feet under by this point.

Really loved the game. Was my first real dragon quest game outside of heroes. Just a beautiful game.

The first one I played was dragon quest 7 on PS1 (it was called dragon warrior back then). I’ve played DQ6, DQ5, and DQ8 but DQ7 is still my favorite. The story is the longest in the series. I’m still impressed with how amazing the game was. I put 200 hrs into it and still had the post game left but I couldn’t find the last puzzle pieces to unlock it. The DS version was dumbed down and has a lot of changes. I recommend the PS1 version for 7. 1-6 are on the iPhone and they’re ported really good. I played 5 and 6 on the iPhone. They’re really old school. I think the hilarious writing and great stories make up for it . Hope you enjoy ‘em.

That was a perfect review. I’ve played the game for 156 hours (still counting) and that was exactly my experience as a JRPG and DQ fan. It’s an incredible game. I love the story, the graphics, the battle system and the whole DQness of it. But more often than not I find myself playing with a low volume. I can only imagine how the game would have been even better if we had gotten a soundtrack worth it. As you said DQ VIII was a magical experience. I love the music as much as I love the game. When the VIII intro appeared in the video, I got goosebumps. You can just feel the difference. XI is an improvement on many things from VIII but the music isn’t one of them. Hopefully they will get that right on XII. Thanks for the video man!

Thanks for the review! Everyone who reviews DQ are always so enthusiastic that it's made me decide to get the game to see what I'm missing!

Looking forward to finally purchasing and playing my first Dragon Quest game. I've played a lot of JRPG's but I've never had the opportunity to play one of the games in this franchise... until now!

Been a HUGE Jrpg fan all my life, but do like the RPG as well and some times better depending on the game. Along with crazy humor games, open world, and story or strong narritive games. Just now hearing from the channel due to a friend so subbing and looking forward to your take on so many gems (cold steel for example0 making its why to the west ps4 shores this year). I wish DQ10 would come out here I would sub for life (it is their mmo) but you can play alone or with people. (you can use offline player characters among a pool for AI help if you suffer from anxiety or prefer solo play. THIS game just edged out DQ8 as my second favorite DQ game now of all time. It is just a love letter to the jrpg fan in my view. Thanks for the time this took to script, edit and upload. Just wish you had 15 to 25k subs so you would make more $ for this type of quality (videos)

From a creative standpoint, this game is honestly one of the best jrpgs of this era. An rpg that is more rooted from classical japanese rpgs with also a sence of scale and scope that is not very easy to accomplish this day and age with modern CG. So the developers really pushed this game to its limits.

I've played as many Dragon Quest games as I could, all the way from the VERY FIRST one for the original Nintendo Entertainment System. With that in mind, I can honestly say this is probably my favourite one. It's just so vibrant and wonderful from top to bottom.

The party’s storylines were so cute and made me fall in love with almost all of the characters. Obsessed w Erik but wish he was more powerful

@DemonEyeHelix

5 жыл бұрын

Erik is the most broken character in the game capable of literally instant killing the final boss at level 60 on the second turn. (If you haven't finished the game yet, you do the final boss fight around level 60's.) The storyline is bland, predictable, full of filler and lazy writing. Half of the plot events are just "The Luminary's hand glows, and by the power of bullshit (plot armor) things magically work out for him) Of your 8 character party, 5 of the 7 characters that join your hero only join because he was born royalty/the chosen one and don't have any personal reason for accompanying him. Since your comment spoke so highly of this game, I'm assuming you've never played Dragon Quest 8. It's for Playstation 2 and re-released on Nintendo 3DS and it's the perfect Dragon Quest game. It's tied with 3 other games for the best RPG ever made with bias given towards DQ8 if scores could go beyond a perfect rating. Other 3 games for reference were Dragon warrior 3 (Dragon quest's original name in the east), Final Fantasy 7, and Final Fantasy 10.

tbh I absolutely LOVE all the music in dq11. even that weird one.

Dragon quest 8 really was beautiful. That's the game that got me into the series.

Really great review! Got the game yesterday, ten hours in and loving it. Super high quality video, I hope you become big :)

for some reason whilst never being a jrpg fan or even knowing what that was, my mum (again someone with no understanding of jrpgs or even games) somehow gave me dragon quest 9 on the ds lite for christmas, and idk why but i loved that game, and to this day (about 6 years later i think) i havent completed it, mainly because i cant beat the final boss but also because i dont want it to be over. recentyl i got a switch and am waiting to play this game, i just hope it captures whatever dq9 did, it looks amazing

Sam Marshall “To lose time is to lose much” the game tells you right there. I prefer the endgame to a traditional NewGame+ which is basically what it is. You have the choice to go back, you don’t have to, and the game warns you 3 different times 2 of which all 6 of the party members tell you not to. If you don’t like how it ends your ending can just be the one where the luminary stays in the future. Plus if you went through and completed everyone’s mini storyline in the past then you’ll see some of the games best and most emotional content

The music actually did sound good to me lol

I’ve recently started playing this (not much of a turn based JRPG gamer) and DAMN, this game has its hooks in me deep. This is a great review and the random memes/music made this fun to watch. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to play a lovely game like this.

Rafael Teixeira thank you so much!

This game was amazing in my first playthrough. I loved the skill trees and the characters. Although I wish that I could equip any weapon to any character, I still loved getting a new character and then having new weapons to consider. I also wish that they made a 3d model for every armor like IX, but the rarity was also worth it. I just wanted a fun new dq game and they delivered.

While I would agree DQ8's soundtrack is by far the best the series has ever had, I don't think DQ11's compositions are getting a fair shake on the quality of the written music itself. I personally found all the tracks in this game to be suitable at worst, and astonishingly great at best. It's a shame DQ11 wasn't able to get the same treatment DQ8 had with the fully orchestrated soundtrack in the game itself, but I don't find the quality of the MIDIs to be so inferior that it brings the game down. Some of the tracks are certainly quirkier than others (such as the one you pointed out specifically in your video), but I don't think the song itself is bad at all. It feels appropriately fun and bouncy for the moments that it is used, usually while fighting an equally quirky enemy in battle. It's a shame the composer is so stingy with compositions made specifically for this particular product, but maybe we can hope that he'll bend on that stance and that either the Switch version will include the fully orchestrated tracks or that the PS4/PC versions will eventually get an update that includes it as an audio option you can toggle between. Either way, I didn't find the MIDI tracks to be nearly as offensive as some of the reviews I've been seeing have been claiming. Regardless, thanks for reviewing the game! More people need to play it in the West, without question.

😂 the Ni No Kuni II shade is real!! That meme was priceless, that’s exactly how I felt. Oh man, I held off on getting DQ XI cause I wanted to finish Ni No Kuni II first and focus on western games for the fall, like RDR2. The former was a great disappointment. Not a bad game, I had fun with it, but it was no comparison to the love affair I had with its predecessor, which has a phenomenal, highly memorable, and surprising story. It’s sequel’s story, I either can’t sum up at all, or could sum up in one lame sentence. Just really dull. And for all it’s technically impressive moments and presentation......... DQ XI comes along and made it look like it was some rushed game. So what that makes FF XV.... not a game at all... worse? DQ XI, it took my some weeks and dozen or two hours to get really into it, but once the core 7 party is formed, and their identities made clear, the game took off like a rocket of perfection. Now I’ve put in 200 hrs and have the Platinum trophy, and I’m eager to do it all again on Switch!!!

DayFul Yeah. Ni No Kuni 1 was better, but still... 2 was the reason I bought a PS4. I don’t hate NNK2, just...

This game is amazing, been chipping away at the last few months. Just super simple to get into, great music, visuals, story.

Amazing review man! I actually put this game on hold because I’m waiting for the switch version. Hopefully coming out next year

I agree.

Personally i think the criticisms about the quality of the actual compositions are a bit exaggerated.Sure they don't even come close to those of DQVIII (something that becomes even more obvious when the older compositions appear in the game) but they get the job done and they are doing a fine job setting the mood of the game within the boundaries and style of DQ.There are other small details that bothered me more like some inconsistencies in jumping or that not all equipment changed your appearance but these are nothing compared to the things the game did right.It's easily my GOTY and a game belonging to a far more innocent age free from all the greedy trends of modern gaming.

I do not find it exaggerated, in comparison to many RPG games, this is among the worst music I have heard, there isn't a single track I need to hear ever again. Honestly, it is the only main criticism to a very excellent game, and even then it isn't a big deal.

@@darkhorse744 Omfg dude we get it Sugiyama's political views are shit. But this has nothing to do with his music. Tired of people bringing this up. I personally don't give a fuck in the slightest about his political views. I have no reason to care about a 87 year old's political views at all. I never even met the guy why the fuck should I care about what he thinks now? LOL I'll always love the music he produces despite him being an asshole

The problem is in this case you really can’t. A lot of the problems with DQXI’s music stem from him being a not-so-Great person. The midi quality comes from his desire to make money off of orchestral remixes. It’s because he’s a douchebag that the sound quality. I actually like quite a few of the new compositions in this game. It just pisses me off when everyone else who worked on this game obviously put in a large amount of love and care into making it the best that it can be, and he uses people’s love of the series as a method make more money off of them by purposefully putting low quality midis in the main game. I just wish that he cared enough about these games to give them the music quality that they deserve.

I was looking forward to this one. Great review and great game!

Don't forget you can make plus 2 or plus 3 items when using the forge to rework an item so it is good to at least put in some effort to use the forge. it will give you an edge later on.

The music while running around puts me to sleep i can't tell how many time it has put me to sleep lol i have to play it on the weekends

One of the aspect that define jrpg is the music... and yeah, i agree with you about music...

I actually like the white on black menus. Looks really clean. But I can see how the updated UI fits the game theme better

I doubt it would happen, but I'd love it if they redid Dragon Quest 8 with the engine and graphics used for Dragon Quest 11 while including the improvements and extra content that was released on the 3DS version. Bring all that to the PS4 and I think it'd sell quite well. Though this is probably just a pipe dream, it'd still be cool if it happened!

I fully agree! DQ8 was the first DQ game I had ever played, I loved it! I too think it'd be a cheap project and given that we most likely won't get a full sequel again for a while, it'd do them good to keep the interest for it alive by doing something like that for home consoles.

The game was very fun, but too linear. Would have appreciated more wandering. And some random battles. The level of suspense you feel when you might be almost dead is thrilling and I feel like I was never in danger on outside of major battles.

I agree. I think the game could have benefited from not having the bright pink "go here next" icon. The world isn't really that big and the locations to explore on the world map are pretty minimal. Without any direction, it wouldn't take long to stumble across the next story point.

Finished last night with 147 hrs. I loved every minute (apart from the time we had to rediscover the map points). Regarding the music, I played the entire game with music on 20% volume so I never realized it was crappy midi. Funny. I never had a problem with the music at all.

funny, i only just started Definitive Edition, and had no idea about the music issues of the original. love the music so far :)

Literally the only game I've purchased in the last 2 years that wasn't on sale for -40% or more And I would gladly spend the money again. So good

Great review! You deserve more subscribers!

I've played a ton of Dragon Quest games in my day, as many as most Americans were able to back in the day especially. I played 7 and 8 the most when they first released, and I played the shit out of Dragon Warrior Monsters. I was more into that than Pokemon for a long time. Unfortunately the DS sequels werent that great for DWM, but it gave me much more love for the monsters of the DQ universe. I am waiting for this game to go on sale, i was stupid and didnt buy it during the xmas sale. Oh well, it's probably worth $60, those fully 3D monsters looked fantastic! Great video!
