Man I just can't do this Act 3 Post game stuff. (SPOILERS)

[Hayden]

I finished the main game in about 100 hours on stronger monsters with less XP. It was amazing. Probably my favorite JRPG behind Suikoden 2.

Then I went and smashed that time crystal and wow. I'm not used to games having a post-game like this where its just got loads of new content. My problem is I can't get motivated to play it now because I feel like when I bashed Mordegon then that should've been it. The pacing just feels off for me.

And then I look in my quest log and there's like an extra 30 quests out there for me to do all of a sudden. And there's these trials, and more horse races and apparantly I can rebuild Cobblestone as well. And who knows what else. The amount of content in this game is nuts. It's literally too much for me. I've really enjoyed all the systems so far, but damn it'll be like 150-200 hours for me to do everything, and I just can't keep interested in them for that much longer.

And I want to play Assassin's Creed Oddyssey in 3 days and there's no way I'll get this post game stuff done even if I play pretty heavily.

You two should REALLY play DQ8. Mini spoiler alert, the same thing happens there in terms of game/postgame.

I finished the main quest in DQ8. Didn't actually know there was a detailed post-game until months later and by that point I was onto other games. I remember thinking it was just some optional high level dragon fights or something and that I wouldn't be interested.

i'll probably play it, random combat is a little of a turn off for me but i've been playing classic RPGs since forever. I'm gonna finish the ones that have ties to the story of XI first though

So to clarify, you are complaining because this game has TOO much to do?

That's a benefit in my book.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not having a go at the game. I thought it was amazing, but I hate not finishing games, and with the way this one is structured and paced, it's like I've sorta finished it, but not really.

They handled the post game very well IMO. It felt great.

3DS version has no random encounters.

DQ 11 post-game is probably the best postgame of any game I've ever played IMO. And I never thought anyone could top what DQ8 did with its postgame plot changes.

After finishing it, I would argue that postgame is simply a continuation of the main game, and the twists are in very classic DQ style. If you're having a tough time with the difficulty spike, I would definitely suggest turning off the experience gain Draconian Quest. I played through everything on regular difficulty with minimal grinding until postgame, but if you can't get to about level 70-75, all the new content after the mandatory opening is going to be incredibly difficult.

Damn. It annoys me that the post game is supposed to be so good, yet I can't get into it lol.

Yeah, I'm at level 62 for most characters I think. I don't think I could keep going on Draconian. It's just too much of a grind and trial and error for me at this point. And to be fair, while I've played through a ton of JRPGs, I'm not actually that good at them.

[Epic_Caesura]

Yeah, I'm not even sure it's correct to call it "post game." It re-uses assets, true, but in terms of story it's just a third act. If you stop before finishing it, you really haven't beaten the game. I thought it was brilliant, and definitely the high point of the game for me.

[It´sAllAimAssist]

I´m in the post game and I don´t want the game to end...

though I didn´t play it through on harder monsters etc because I feelt it just slowed everything down,so that might be part why I haven´t gotten burned out on .
tbh I need to grind a bit now because some of the optional bosses are getting 3 moves per turn and sometimes act TWICE before all my party members have even gotten one move=wipe
Yeah. I enjoy it more on casual baby noob mode.

Everyone's convinced me to power through and finish the third act. I did turn off Stronger Mosnters though. It is just slowing it down too much for me.

I use a team of veronica erik, hero, and jade, game is somewhat a cakewalk. If I need healing, I make hero use omniheal. Yeah, I'm playing normal mode, I don't find insane mode worth it.
