DRAGON QUEST XI REVIEW - Happy Console Gamer

[@adameat3562]

I've never played an RPG but my 8 year old wanted this for Xmas, wow I'm having so much fun and loving the story

[@jzblue345]

Your 8 year old has good taste. If i had this game at 8 I'd probably go crazy with excitement.

[@AlphaOmegaSin]

This gen has been so damn good for role playing fans. Was sad we didn't get X bit I prefer my single player offline adventures anyways

This is why I LOVE your reviews, clear, sincere, passionate and spoiler free, more reviewers should take note!

[@biggiejerseysTV]

PirateChest for reals man. I love watching/listening to his reviews even if it’s not a game I care about.

[@DocMajor]

“Your Nightmare” wow man, be sure not to cut yourself on that edge.

[@kylewynn3147]

Thanks for the great actual spoiler free review. It seems more and more these days that "spoiler free" reviews really aren't that spoiler free. Definitely another reason why your one of the best people on KZbin. Your immense knowledge and joyous personality really shine through in your videos and makes them so much better. But the downside of such a great review is, I can hardly contain my excitement to get my hands on a copy myself. Lol. Can't wait. Thanks as always.

[@HaterMcFattyPants]

I'm just getting around to it and I'm having an absolute blast. I love that he doesn't spoil anything too. I hate when I'll be watching a review that's "spoiler free" and next thing I know they're taking about how Vader is Luke's dad. Awesome review, the man knows what's good.

@VicRules666 Or. I don't know. Maybe they have two weeks paid vacation or PTO, saved up to where they aren't financially crippling themselves. Think before you type.

[@wolfsongcg6497]

Said it in another video's comments, but it's more appropro here.. I love how every Dragon Quest game keeps the same style and feel. It's like "going home". "Welcome back to the world you know and love", with all the sounds, music, kooky creatures, etc... It's such a comfortable series to play.

[@evanfont913]

I love that you don't make your reviews like a journalist or how many other youtube channels do. Just a guy who loves his games and happens to have the camera on. Thanks for the years of content man, and never stop questing!

[@kerrydustin3996]

I finally just discovered The Dragon Quest series. Instead of seeking a review from IGN, Gamespot, I came directly to the HCG channel as I’ve seen Johnny reference this series time and time again. Needless to say, awesome review as always!

[@alec187]

When I saw your tattoo, I was like ‘yup, he loves this game’

[@zoiderama]

it's just fake

[@jamesdwhite873]

Johnny you are the only DQ review that matters. And I'm sold!

[@phillycheesetake]

Skipped over IGN and Polygon trash to watch this one. Was not disappointed, told me what I needed to know as a DQ fan. Ordering ASAP.

[@House_of_Green]

Don’t sleep on Kotaku

[@jose131991]

Kotaku’s was REAL good

[@Fullbatteri]

The Kotaku one was heaven like, it was almost too good, I was pleasantly surprised Kotaku could have such a masterpiece of a review.

[@jakemyers7171]

I just finished DQ11 after about 80hrs and I can’t stop watching your videos on the series. It really feels like I’m just hanging out with a buddy talking about one of my favorite games :)

[@TheGamingShelf]

I love how you’re willing to admit when newer games surpass games from the past, like you did with BotW. Not clouded by nostalgia glasses but willing to take a realistic look at things. This game looks absolutely amazing. If I wasn’t on a business trip for nearly a month I’d pick it up, but I’ll have to wait >_< Great review as always! ⚔️ 🐉

[@theoldblood3804]

This, yes. Botw really doesnt surpass the older Zelda games. I think the hype was bigger than the actual experience.

[@juansanchez209]

As far as I’m concermed, any game that expands the lore of Hyrule meets the qualifications of being a great Zelda game. I know a lot of people don’t want to admit that stuff from their childhood has been surpassed, but BOTW is the best Zelda game because it accomplishes what the creator wanted the original to do. BOTW’s Hyrule is so dense and filled to the brim with life that it’s very easy to get lost exploring, and this is an amazing feeling that none of the other Zelda games ever captured.

[@fattiger6957]

Now, if Only Square would make a Final Fantasy game that surpassed the snes/ps1 games.

[@BabysitterSky]

@@juansanchez209 filled with life ? Its 90% giant empty field.

[@juansanchez209]

Kevin Strom I highly disagree. I don’t mean “life” in the sense of there being a bunch of NPCs; to be quite frank, I find NPCs to be boring. Hyrule is full of “life” in the sense that it is a living and dynamic world. I’ve put in 200 hours and I still go back every now and then to discover more that the world has to offer.

[@vvolfflovv]

My hype was dying down lately but you just put it back through the roof.

[@alexperaza9475]

Yeah, that just happened to me too.

[@gunawanleonardy]

me too,almost Cancelled my preorder.

[@scenedikemon]

Yeah guys keep the hype going. Imported the Japanese version and it’s absolutely stellar. DONT STOP the game after you hit credits tho; there’s 30 hours worth of post STORY content that actually continues the story in a few major ways.

[@alanze18]

@Josef Wells this game is probably the best dragon quest game of all time.

[@timgrossman84]

I like how you have so much energy when you review games. I can tell how much passion you have for them. Thanks for the review.

[@captawesome42]

One of my favorite parts of this game are that they give the option to go back to the original line up aesthetic in combat if you don't like the open circle one. Since you can't actually move around to avoid attacks you aren't losing any strategy. Love that they let you pick how you wanted it presented

[@Rhythmicons]

When I was a kid, I rolled my TV cart into the bathroom because I didn't want to stop leveling up Dragon Warrior. Edit: I'm buying a PS4 just to get this game.

[@lotsofgames]

So glad to hear that you have been enjoying it Johnny. I am also a huge fan of Dragon Quest XIII. This one looks really incredible.

[@JonCom3dy]

Dragon Quest XIII!? Are you from the future??

[@ahmir5798]

How good is 13?

[@rayionkingu2908]

Can you please make a review of dragon quest xiii?

[@boxvr9351]

This was my very first HCG video I've watched and I've continued to watch everyone to date and YES I have went back and watched many older ones by far my favorite KZbin channel ❤

[@dominoscr]

Thanks for the no spoilers review!

[@damienphoenix1843]

One of my favorite RPGs of all time. You are absolutely right finding a new town enemy or secrets is so awesome. I'm blown away. I haven't been this happy with an RPG since ff7 ff10 or persona 3 and 4. What an amazing time to be an RPG fan! Great review!

[@alnitak17]

I love this series so much. I am so happy to see you play this I know how big a fan you are of this series. It will be very hard to not to purchase this versus waiting for switch version. It might be a multi system purchase. God this looks good.

[@Drewsefer89]

Same! I think for me is that theres so many other games right now to play & I'm really excited to play XC2 Torna next month that I'm actually relieved a little bit this game got delayed on Switch. I just have to hope when it does release that it'll release during a slow month period so I can make time for it.

[@fattiger6957]

You'll probably have to wait until next spring for the Switch release. You'd think Square Enix would have worked harder to get this on the Switch earlier considering that DQ is more associated with Nintendo than Sony.

[@ONshowON]

@@Drewsefer89 I just hope that it looks and plays good on the switch after all this wait.

[@reed1645]

Yea, considering the lack of major releases on switch this year it would have been nice to get it. I'm happy to wait though because I still just have too much to play.

[@demetriuspowell29]

@@fattiger6957 lol you forgot dragon quest 8 was on PlayStation it didn't get ported over until 15 year's later

[@jzblue345]

I got into Dragon Quest out of sheer boredom and just looking for something new. I found Dragon Quest VIII for PS2 pretty cheap at GameStop and was addicted to the series ever since.

[@Gharon]

I love the DQ series, played all games up to this point. But i've honestly never been more excited for a new entry than i am for XI. I was blown away by how amazing it looked the very first time i saw it years ago. Can't wait to dig in deep, i probably won't get much sleep in the next few weeks.

So far I’ve only played dragon warrior 1, can’t wait for this

[@JJsAdventure23]

I thought it was cool that theyre giving us the dragon quest 8 costume for the main character , i cannot wait for this game

[@arcadeutopia3035]

I just picked this up for 8 quid , talk about a steal. Looking forward to playing this bad boy at the weekend 🙏

[@WMJSpeedruns]

Super hyped for this game but I wish they'd have included the orchestral soundtrack like they did for DQ8

[@tcgamingtimes999]

Props to you for staying spoiler free, Johnny. This gameplay footage is absolute eye candy

[@necropig]

Standard question but do you need to play prior games? This will be my first DQ if I pick it up

[@Rikku12e]

No you don't have to Dragon Quest are always separate storys except for the occasional nods to previous games but I would recommend dragon quest 7 and 8 for the 3ds if you like it because they are great.

[@necropig]

Cool, thanks for the reply

[@GGtheRealest]

Once you play this you can play DQ8 sometime down the road and it will feel familiar to you, especially if you switch battle mode to classic. I'd definitely recommend you play DQ8 though, maybe if you have a nice pc you can get the psX emulator and play the PS2 game with zero loading screens and turbo mode lol.

[@drrrrzz9145]

Preordered! Great review :) My first dragon quest was DQ1 on the famicom, which my Japanese grandmother bought for me. At the age of 8, it absolutely blew my mind. And i’ve been a lifelong fan ever since. Until now, 8 is my favorite game if all time. But i’m ready for a new one!

[@michaelcoffey1991]

HUGE ty Happy for keeping this spoiler free :) As like anyone here most of us have been waiting since Dragon Quest 8 on the PS2. I am now even more looking forward to playing this thru the first time in just a few days now and did not think I could of gotten more excited to do so :). Happy Playing!!

[@kjvgames5832]

For me my favourites are 8 then 11, mainly because I love the team of 4 dynamic. It really does feel like the four horsemen. I like having the ability to swap characters around in 11 but I like that core four.

[@danhulson8703]

what i like about more cartoonish graphics is they age far better.As always great video and not to satanic john

[@FranWest.]

As someone new to the DQ series, I have to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DQXI ! One of the best RPG games I have played in years! I put in over 140hrs - No regrets! The game is a truly beautiful masterpiece imo!

[@AzrielPSX]

Just playing the game for the first time, 5 hours in and im loving it so far

[@steelchucker3]

Your joy and passion for great games is absolutely contagious. Great review, my friend!

[@Dennizzzz89]

Amazing to see how far you've gotten seeing as you reviewed Dragon Quest IV DS in 2008! I can't wait for the Dragon Quest XII review! Keep it up!

[@Blight_89]

Great review man! ^_^ You've helped me through these last few days of waiting haha And I'm really glad you kept it truly spoiler free, which is rare nowadays. I'm a big DQ fan myself, and have been looking forward to this game for a long time. Hopefully this will be the game that sparks major interest in the DQ series worldwide, so we can get more of them localized in the future. I can't tell you how much I regret not having the Dragon Quest Monsters games for the 3DS T_T The remakes of the original two and Joker 3, it just felt so unfair.

[@TheHorrorExperiment]

I hope one day we get a console remaster of Dragon Quest VIII, it's still my favorite DQ game to date.

[@jonice3216]

I live in Japan. I have played DQ11 for 80 hours last year. I am no doubt this game is awesome.but music is not good as much as previous DQ series achieved. I was very disappointed with DQ 11 music..

[@capcom23]

yeah. it's always the case when they release a game on multiple systems. It's like lacking somehow

[@capcom23]

we'll see. stil counting the days.... wish it was already sept 4th

[@chrisdsx5]

Ya man the best music was in DQ 1-4.

[@jjc4924]

The music may not be the best. But that doesn't affect the gameplay.

[@TechWithSean]

3:33 if you like the animations on PS4, you should see them running at 144 fps on the PC version! Amazing

[@TheRosswise]

The 4th won't get here fast enough.

[@michaelcoffey1991]

Amen

[@robcotto7081]

Right!?

[@Flaris]

This is the kind of review I live for. A passionate review from someone who really cares about the series. Someone who can say "this is how I feel about a new game compared to DQ8." That's the kind of insight I want since that's the kind of comparison I'm going to be making when playing it. Also I do love how the DQ games just embrace British/Scottish kind of voices. It just gives these games a different kind of charm.

[@jokerxiii6580]

Man I can't wait to play XI....

[@Viech54]

Nice, someone actually understands how to review this game. Most other reviews I (partially) watched didn't get to the point and wasted my time with unrelated rambling or tried to spoil the story/game. Thanks for the review, great job. Now I'm even more interested in the game, will get it sooner or later.

[@pnutt567]

oh man. I really want to play this game. I’ve never played a real Dragon Quest game. only builders, which I love. this game seems like a lot of fun.

[@27455628]

it is totally different from DQ builder tho, it is pure JRPG.

[@tazgamerplays]

Christian Hammond You're missing out, it's a great series. You will not be disappointed.

[@pnutt567]

lok tin ho yeah, I realize. but it was my first intro to the world and general feel of DQ and it’s monsters.

[@pnutt567]

tazgamer I know, the hardest thing rn is that I don’t have a ps4... so I’ll probably end up waiting for the switch version.

[@johnlawful2272]

You should look into dq8

[@ypesh]

Thanks for the review! Just picked this up definitive edition for £9.95 brand new! 🎉🎉🎉

[@LatinoLokaso]

Me and my wife love your show hello from Australia Jhonny awesome review

[@armon29]

I really love this game too and with the Definitive Edition they put in the last things i was missing from my Dragon Quest 8 times like the Orchestrial Version of the Soundtrack. And they added character stories and QoL features. We had waited so long for a new big Adventure after 8. Dont get me wrong 9 wasn't a bad game but the fact that it was only for DS and with a lot of online stuff was kinda meh. In times where you have tons of DLC beside a main game you are "forced" to buy to get the most out of it, DQ 11 was a very refreshing and complete experience even without the later DE for it.

[@alexnegz]

It's 9 o'clock in the morning Johnny.

[@noahnewport3758]

Absolutely wonderful game. Harkens back to the glory days of the genre. This game, along with Persona 5 prove that the JRPG is still very much alive in 2018. While I'm playing this game, it literally puts a smile on my face. I had lofty, maybe unrealistic expectations for this game. But I've learned to expect greatness from Dragon Quest. DQ XI exceeds all of my expectations and totally blows me away. I cannot gush about this game enough. I haven't been this drawn into a game in a very long time. 10/10

[@wahabalhdi6671]

[@CtrlAndF4]

Great review, this was my first dragon quest game and i must say it quickly became my game of the year 2018. I played it on the PC and wow, what an amazing ride it was, i hope they port DQ 8 to pc at some point as i dont want to deal with the PS2 version.

[@obviouslee2061]

My first dragon quest game aswell. Just bought it for 30$!

[@julianjjz987]

"The music is excellent" **plays clip of terribly sampled instruments**

[@PeteC75]

😂 Very true, but there are more than a few really excellent themes in this game even in original OST form. He just didn’t pick good ones. Shame the PS4 had to miss out on the orchestral soundtrack.

[@AlexRN]

C'mon, even the staunchest DQ fans coincide that using MIDI music in a 2018 PS4 game was inexcusable. At least that much should be noted. Not to take from the rest of the game which looks amazing but to answer the question "how can they make DQ better after XI?" Lets start with better quality music. VIII already had an amazingly updated OST specially done for the west with an orquestra back in 2005 on PS2! Theres no excuse not to do it with XI in 2018 (or for XII for that matter).

[@mattbazzacco8698]

Exactly. I rarely comment on youtube but the music in this game is honestly quite shocking. Disappointing that it's not an orchestral soundtrack, but it sounds like generic MIDI and poorly done. It could have still been a synthesized soundtrack and sounded really good, this shows no effort. Saturn, Playstation and N64 could easily do better than this, and they did, particularly the Playstation and Saturn, theres alot of music that I bet people are unaware aren't CD tracks. Even if it wasn't using native hardware it could be pre-recorded tracks using a half decent keyboard let alone a good one like a Tyros. Or just midi keyboard with Cakewalk plugins, or even logic pro. These are accessible to anyone, there really is no excuse for how bad the music in DQXI sounds. Could do a better job with music maker on playstation imo lol

[@DavidDoboni]

It's not MIDI, it's Synthesized. But I do agree that the music should've been orchestrated.

[@Greatsharkbite]

Fans didn't appreciate it with VIII its a favorite but it definitely didn't get the recognition it deserved then, why would enix go the extra mile now.

[@fataleflare]

Yeah I think only the intro is Orchestrated?

[@CarbyGuuGuu]

Your end score never seems to match up with your review... How can you endlessly gush over the game, rank it ABOVE DQ VIII, and only give it a 9/10? I mean what the heck gets a 10/10 or even a 9.5/10, which you couldn't quite do either? I think your score reflects how you truly feel. Come on Johnny, you should mention more of the negatives to balance out the review. Still, I enjoy your reviews and videos! Thanks for your time and dedication!

[@gfunkmoney06]

Fernando Marroquin Fair enough. I just feel like this game probably isn't quite as good as he's making it out to be. I believe his 9/10 score encapsulates his true feeling, not so much the glowing review. But that's just my interpretation. I think its tricky when u have a large audience and you're called the "Happy" Console Gamer, getting too negative is probably not a good idea even if true.

[@Symphony85p]

@@gfunkmoney06 wtf have you been smoking ? chill. He even said 9,5 directly after 9 so 9,5 is his score for now. This game is a masterpiece he isnt hiding anything.

Kinda bummed the 3DS version isn’t getting localised but i have the Japanese version if i want to go through that so i am more than happy to wait for the Switch version if SE can work out all the kinks

[@fattiger6957]

I'm sure they opted for only localizing the Switch version than doing both it and the 3ds. Maybe Nintendo even wanted it that way so they could push Switch console sales.

Thank you so much for keeping this spoiler free

"It's right up there with Persona 5." Looks up Me: I see Dragon Quest, but I don't see Persona 5. Looks Down Me: Oh there it is! Oh! I see Xenoblade Chronicles X down there too!

I've been playing this since it came out and still have not finished it. Each section of the story I go through is soooo good, its like a great cheese cake that I'm thoroughly enjoying.

I'll be playing this in 2019(hopefully) on my switch.

Still using "Hawkin" as your character name I see. I remember this from the Twilight Princess Video you did with Rob.

[@bstoppel1]

Still disappointed that we're not getting the 3DS version.

[@robertbair4019]

Brandon Stoppel time to upgrade to the Switch then bro! Lol

[@Kensterrrrr]

Who gives a fuck about 3ds.. move on

[@kacrist59]

Hey assholes the 3ds version has exclusive content so he has a point.

[@HopperDragon]

@@kacrist59 But doesn't it not exist?

[@JGPoindexter]

Your energy is infectious brother, I really enjoyed listening to how enthusiastic you are for the things you enjoy. Thanks for a great review, I was thinking about buying the game but didn't know for sure as I have not been a Dragon Quest player in the past and now I'm going to pick it up!
