...are you playing Dragon Quest XI S or something else?I get that it's part of the success and is intentional but to me it feels too bland. Like an upscaled NES rpg.
No engaging story
No cinematic approach to the cutscenes or while exploring the world
NPCs are the same handful of models everywhere
No unique addition to battles/gameplay
Bland as hell music. This one really surprises me as I hear people praise the composers work (and for good reason shit on his personal life). The music is the same jolly jingle. In my opinion the music direction was just god awful but its probably there for nostalgia.
I could appreciate it for the core concept of wanting to retain classic RPG gameplay but it comes off as sterile and void of any creativity on my end.
