Is this game worth buying at full price?
Everyone looks like they came from Dragon Ball Z, but lost all of their muscles...

The main character looks like Trunks.

And I heard rumors that the first Super Sayian God came from the Dragon Quest series?

Anyways, is this game worth the asking price?

I dunno, do you like a lengthy very traditional JRPG? It's a very good one of those.

The game itself is classic Dragon Quest with some modern day QOL improvements. Make of that what you will. The story is standard JRPG fare, so nothing special here. DQ makes up for this with comedy and "cuteness", or "charm" if you will. Turned based combat is also very standard, but very functional and fun.

Objectively, the PC port is very good, with solid FPS performance and relatively bug free (I'm 80 hours in and I've only ever had one strange crash so far). What's missing that I wish was there is controller Vibration support (I'm not sure the PS4 version even has this). Otherwise, I am very happy to have paid full price for this game.

My recommendation is if you're new to Dragon Quest, wait for a sale (anything under 40 USD is a good price, imho). Veteran fans will be pleased to know this is the best version of DQ XI out there.

Honestly? I can't recommend this game. I mean. I love it! It's funny and does mostly everything pretty well. But the story just isn't...what I'm expecting from a current RPG. Yes there's lots of content. It's just missing something to say it's worth $60.

I do not fell ripped off. It's just missing something...

If you like Dragon Quest, it's a buy but I would wait for a sale.

I bought myself a copy, and my wife one.

GMG often has great prices on Preorders or recently released games

Its the music for me. If you played DQVIII or sentinal of starry skies, they had fantanstic ochestrated pieces and piano. This one doesnt have much variation. It knew how to capture the moment. Other than that a few flaws, but a great game. Still pumping hours into it.

Wait, DQ 9 on the DS had orchestral music? Really?
