thatsmydemi Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I haven't played many DQ games but I feel like this could become one of my fave franchises out there. I'm definitely buying XI this summer for Xbox.
Kern Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 I would love that series but sadly I'm not a fan of turn based combat
thatsmydemi Posted June 24, 2023 Posted June 24, 2023 by the way, the dragon quest monster game looks awful. Looks like an optimized 3DS game. What are they thinking?

Like Dragon Quest Heroes (but skip to the second one because the first is a bit boring) and Dragon Quest Treasures! Apparently DQ12 is changing up the combat, so maybe that'll hit a sweet spot for you?

I'm so jealous you get to experience it for the first time 😭 On 6/24/2023 at 7:04 AM, thatsmydemi said: by the way, the dragon quest monster game looks awful. Looks like an optimized 3DS game. What are they thinking? I was so hype for a DQM game here in the west that I didn't even notice, but the trailer did it no justice Which is so odd, because Dragon Quest Treasures was a DQ game released this year and that game looks and plays miles better than this NEW Monsters game, so wtf happened??? I'm so desperate for a new DQ game here I'd play ******* PS2 graphics and pay double for it

Literally a classic—it ruined other franchises for me Although you're not asking, DQ8 comes close to how 11 plays and feels, if you wanted to try another DQ game that's more or less the same? My personal favorite is 5, though, because of the monster taming and the hero being so
Hallad173 Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I don’t have a ton of DQ experience but I remember DQ:IX, if that’s the one with the fallen angels being really fun but getting INSANELY Grindy lol.

Ooh yeah, IX was actually one of the DQ games I fizzled out on mid-way through. The grinding was pretty intense in that one specifically, although grinding is a big focus in a lot of the DQ games But if you're in the market to try out a new DQ game, XIS is the gateway drug because it's such a massive epic story, and the issue with grinding is probably the least prominent in that game! The monster series is also great because of the breeding mechanics, but super dated by this point so you might be better off waiting for the first ever Switch release from the series
