there are a few differences. and many additions. but nothing HUGE. generally definitive has more and is better though. cant give away details without spoiling stuff though. simply said definitive has more story, and goes into characters stories more

But could you say the og still offers the full story experience overall? Want to know if its worth investing more time in it since i already own the og version.

I would differ from ShockedHearts and say that the story differences themselves aren't that substantial. The intermission, while fun to play, really just bridges the existing gap in the story.

Tickington/2D mode also offer a lot content-wise but I find it hard to consider it part of the game's "canon" myself. It's really just taking you through segments of previous games of the series. Some superbosses[sites.google.com] at the end, Act 4[www.nexusmods.com], etc. All are a blast, but not part of DQ11's story imo.

That said, I'd say everything else (bonus content / QoL / etc) culminates in a really satisfying experience for a returning (OG) player. You won't really be "missing out" by skipping this one, but if you're tempted to give DQ11 another playthrough DE is a good way to get a lot more mileage.

The ability to skip cutscenes alone is a godsend if you're tired of hearing the same lines over and over. (That and/or JP voiceovers)

Thank you very much for the detailed response.
