I love so many jrpgs but Dragon Quest was just never appealing to me. I should really give this one a go. I played the Demo till completion and just never bought the full game.
Same.I found it incredibly boring and repetitive, and the overworld music made me want to die.
The monster animations are so good, it hurts to see them running at 30fps on consoles.I still think PC version is by far the best. Its very hard to go back to 30fps after seeing it run at 144hz

You're not wrong.
As long as you're taking about the Switch version.

what makes it so special
i thought dragon quest's thing is being generic
As far as I remember, Chrono Trigger had a more interesting battle system, less repetition and grind, better music and a more interesting main plot.
Yeah, as I said — DQXIS can't quite match CT. I mean, nothing can (or at least nothing has been able to yet).
But it comes shockingly close, closer than any other JRPG has in the last 24 years, and that's saying a whole lot.
And don't sleep on DQXI's story. It starts off seeming for all the world like the most safe and traditional JRPG narrative out there, but grows and culminates into something that is anything but. Can't remember the last time a JRPG has made me care SO much over such an extended period of time, and that's partially due to an absolutely tremendous cast of characters.
Sylvando alone is probably the best character of the generation.
not sure i entirely agree actually. lot's of great perks with the Switch version but music aside (and the ability to marry Jade :P), i don't think any of them are essential to enjoying the game. the new story content is a huge pacing killer. plus it's ugly as hell (i'm not usually a stickler for graphics but excessive aliasing really bothers me and this game had a ton)You're not wrong.

I'm enjoying it, but is there more than the 2 or 3 songs in the game? I feel like it has no variety.
I liked the side plots and main characters, but im so done withplots. The Mother games are my favourite because they're like kind of like DQ but with a setting and characters that stand out in a sea of traditional fantasy settings.World Tree's, chosen one protagonists and Ruined World endgame
Spam double techs, spam luminaire is the full extent of Chrono Trigger's battle system. DQXI is *objectively* deeper and with a lot more thinking needed especially with the difficulty options offered. Not to mention the plethora of different builds per character that Chrono Trigger doesn't have.As far as I remember, Chrono Trigger had a more interesting battle system, less repetition and grind, better music and a more interesting main plot.
I noticed just how similar Earthbound is to DQ games, right down to the combat and sound effects lol.The Mother games are my favourite because they're like kind of like DQ but with a setting and characters that stand out in a sea of traditional fantasy settings.

No, Dragon Quest XI is a better game. It explores characters much further, has a great world to explore and is overall a joy to play all throughout. Chrono Trigger has the best music and has the benefit of being barely 20 hours long so the cracks doesn't show up too much. DQXI drives to the finish line brilliantly in its 80+ hour run.

Yeah but God is problematic too so it all works outIsn't the primary composer of the soundtrack a war crime denying homophobic bigot?
