My dad passed away last year when my playthrough of DQXI was still young. It's a mixed bag for me. I appreciate the game for helping me get through such a tough time, but I also associate it with a severely broken heart. Maybe one day I'll give this version a shot, but for now it's just too much. The music kills me.

Since 2017 waiting for at least 1 trailer of MP4 (yes, i know), Bayonetta 3 and SMT V.

After that I told myself that I was going to play a mainline Dragon Quest game every September since it is the perfect game to play at the beginning of the school year when life gets crazy (I'm a Kindergarten teacher). Now that I've played the Switch demo, I've fallen in love with DQ XI all over again and I'm torn between playing through this game again or starting up a different one in the series.

I was late to the party on Dragon Quest because I was born in raised in the UK and it just didn’t exist (until VIII I think?) but I’ve grabbed everything Dragon Quest related I can get my hands on since coming to Canada in ‘04 so I’ll definitely be double dipping on this. Weird how I have this childhood nostalgia for a series that wasn’t available when I was young, I guess Dragon Quest just has that kind of Saturday morning adventure cartoon vibe.

Dragon Quest XI is such a fantastic game. Was easily one of my favorite games of last year. I already platinum-ed the PS4 version, but I still wanna get the Switch version for the extra content, and just because it's a game worth playing again. This game deserves to sell so much better in the west than it probably will. I haven't played every Dragon Quest game yet, but this was my favorite in the series that I have finished so far.

Dragon quest 11 on the ps4 was my first dq game, and after playing it I was interested by the series, I enjoyed my time with 11 and so I went and played the first game on the snes (emu) and it was a joy, while old I loved every moment, it's simple and let's you explore and I loved it, and didnt mind the grind, one of my favorite games now, so since 11 is coming to the switch with more content, I'm definitely picking it up, call me hooked!

Dragon quest 11 is such a hidden gem to most gamers. It has amazing turn based combat that seems to be missing in today's world, amazing story,amazing characters and development. You actually love each of the protagonists and feel as if they're all your family, the world is beautiful, the story and content is huuuuuge. This was my first dragon quest game and I have fallen deeply in love with the franchise because of it. In a world full of microtransactions and half baked games, this made me smile and so happy because it feels like every cent was worth it's purchase. Which is rare these days to actually feel as if you got your money's worth Dragon quest 11 will be put into my top 5 memorable games I've ever played. Right with ocarina of time

Love your channel ... outstanding! I'm a HUGE RPG fan and the Dragon Quest series is one of my all-time favorites. I learned of this game in the spring of 2020 during the pandemic and it was a catalyst for me rebuilding my RPG collection and diving back into gaming. It's the best of the series and a top 3 game for me all time ... 10/10. Was three games in one for me ... the main story, the chapter 3 postgame, and then the Tickington side quests/dozen secret bosses/Timewyrm prep & battle ;)

So I haven't played any JRPG-style games since Chrono Trigger and earlier Final Fantasy games. No particular reason, just got deep into western RPG's and action-adventure games over the years. But recently I've decided I'm going to pick up a Nintendo Switch, and in the process have gotten the itch to get back into JRPG's for the first time in almost 20 years...QUESTION: Are the Dragon Quest games all standalone stories, for the most part? Will I thoroughly enjoy this game, without having played any of the other entries in the series?

Thank you for your enthusiasm and passion for games! Please keep doing a good job with these videos. Its truly been inspiring. I watched your DQ8 video last year and bought myself a copy for the 3DS. I absolutely loved it. After that though my fire for JRPGs was dying out, but then I saw your video that DQ1, 2, and 3 were coming out on Switch. Bought all 3 and I just beat 1 today. It reignited my love for the genre and I owe a lot to you and your DQ content! Wishing you the best of luck in your YT career!

That's great to know it runs well, because it's the definitive version with a ton of extra content I was a little worried it might play as badly on Switch as DQB2 supposedly does. It's good to know that it plays smoothly. I likely won't be able to get it at release but I will be double dipping eventually. I still would like to know how hot it runs though. I've got this paranoia with the Switch since it's a thin system with a built in screen and the dock suffocates it.

I am actually just starting the DQ series and love it so far. How ever i am deciding to play the SNES remakes for DQ I, II and III. The sprite graphical upgrades and script changes are just so much more refined. I really hope DQ XI Definitive comes out on the PS4 so sony fans can experience everything this game has to offer with all the added content. Also can't wait for DQ XII since its already in development.
