DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age™ - Definitive Edition

going to buy them all

久々にプレイした感想。 一言で言えばやっぱり面白く安心してプレイできるゲーム。 無印版と比べて声や幕間の追加や声優さんによる声が入るようになった。 特にドラクエで声は…ってなるけど声がある事でイベントに更に重みを感じるようになって良かった。 本作では2Dと3Dで遊べるのが魅力。 2Dについて 昔ながらのドラクエで楽しさもあるが SFCドラクエ3と比べると戦闘時に基本魔物にモーションがない、戦闘全体もやや作りが粗いように感じられる。 街やフィールド、ダンジョンの探索はしやすいがランダムエンカは高めに感じられる。 3Ｄについて おそらく本作の売りとなる3Ｄ、特にドラクエ感を損なう事はなし。 街やフィールド、ダンジョンが広く探索が大変(特にアイテム回収は手間感あり)だが、作り込まれている風景や街並みは綺麗。 戦闘に関してこちらも特にドラクエ感を損なう感じはなく、敵味方問わず戦闘モーションに合わせての声が戦闘をより盛り上げてくれる。 フィールドの敵はシンボルエンカと無駄な戦闘は基本避けれるが、フィールドの一番の魅力が時間帯によって魔物の動きが変わるため、寝ているベビーパンサーやももんじゃとか見れたりと可愛いくて癒される。 特技や呪文以外にゾーン(連携技)は専用のムービーが用意されていてこちらも戦闘を盛り上げる要素の一つ(演出のムービーはカット可能) もちろん好きな方でプレイされてかまわないのですが個人的には3Ｄ推奨。 ゲーム全体のシステムやUIは特に気にしなくて問題なし。 昔の懐かしさも残しつつも新しいドラクエが楽しめるゲームの一つ。 通常プレイでは気にしなくても問題ないですが、実績コンプとなるとかなり苦行や作業あり。 苦行や作業となるのは下記の3つ(少しネタバレ的な要素あり) ・鍛冶 →全種類の武器、防具を鍛冶しなければならない(数が多い) ・馬レース →規定のタイム内にゴールする必要あり(かなり慣れる必要があり) ・カジノ →本作では4種類ありスロットで77777やジャンクポットを当てる必要があり。 　基本運要素のためただカジノを繰り返しプレイするだけで必要な称号(ゲーム内)が入手できるが、ポーカーのダブルアップチャンスを10回連続成功は正直心が折れる(運と言えばそこまでだが他のカジノの称号と比べてとてもしんどい。8回目以降での失敗は本当にもう……ってなる)

If you’re here reading reviews because you’re still debating whether you should try Dragon Quest XI S or not, then let my review make it simple for you: Go for it. And I’m genuinely not saying that because I’m blindly biased toward Dragon Quest. If you’re craving a rich fantasy world, something colorful, vibrant and beautiful, with a proper story, side quests, towns, exploration, a lot of content and many, many hours of a real JRPG journey… this game is for you. I played it on the PS back then and here I am again. Please don’t miss out on it. Especially now, when games like this are rare. Dragon Quest XI S feels like someone sat down and said: “We’re going to make a classic fantasy JRPG. We’re not going to strip away everything people loved about the genre just to modernize it. We’re going to make it properly and release it proudly.” And they did. They really did. Sometimes playing this genuinely gives me the feeling of playing a beautiful RPG from the PS2 era again, and I mean that as the biggest compliment possible. It has that sense of adventure. That feeling of leaving one place and wondering what the next town will look like. New people, new monsters, new areas, new stories. The world is colorful, rich and full of personality. Is the main story going to completely reinvent storytelling and blow your mind with some never-seen-before concept? No. And honestly? I don’t care. This is Dragon Quest. It has that classic hero, destiny, darkness, save-the-world kind of story, and somehow Dragon Quest is one of the only franchises I feel can keep doing this for decades and still get away with it. Because it feels authentic. It never feels like it’s embarrassed of what it is. The same art direction. The familiar monsters. The towns. The NPCs. The hero. The fantasy world. The humor, little things that immediately make you think, “Yes, this is Dragon Quest.” And anyone who knows how huge Dragon Quest is in Japan will understand what I mean. It doesn’t even feel like “just another game franchise” there. You see Dragon Quest everywhere. It has become such a huge part of Japanese gaming culture that it almost feels like its own established world. I can’t sit here and pretend I’ve played every Dragon Quest game because I haven’t. My personal love for the series really started with Dragon Quest VIII on PS2, and that game made me feel like I had genuinely stepped inside a fairytale. At the time, I was completely in love with its world. It had so many of the JRPG elements I adored. Now, I always want my reviews to be honest, even when I love a game. I don’t believe in pretending everything is perfect just because I’m recommending something. There were absolutely characters I disliked. Veronica… I’m sorry, I just couldn’t. I really couldn’t handle her comments and personality. And Sylvando is also personally just not my type of character to have in a main party. I know many people absolutely love him, so this is completely personal, but he just didn’t click with me. On the other hand… Jade. I loved Jade. She is exactly the kind of character I enjoy. Elegant, strong, beautiful, wonderful fighting style. I enjoyed basically everything about her. Easily one of my favorites. So when I look at the full experience, the world, the journey, the amount of content, the atmosphere, the classic JRPG feeling… I can only highly, highly recommend it. Honestly, I find it hard to imagine someone who genuinely loves classic fantasy JRPGs completely hating this game. So if you’re still sitting there wondering whether to buy it: Go for it. Don’t miss out.

Awesome game I really hope they do this with all the previous entries in dragon quest. This game just keeps on giving. The combat is the turn based action your used too, with flashy combos and powerfull abilites. the world is expansive and alluring with a vibrant world and treasure all over. I would love for them to give us a dragon quest where we can create our own character.

It's fun but it's sooooooooooo long and the pacing is terrible. like 20 hours in and only just finished ACT I, i intend to finish this game by the time I retire.

good. me like sword gooo brrrrrrrrr

推薦+1

ESTA BUENISIMO

經典JRPG 劇情一流 遊玩時間長 追成就應該破百小時 特價必入 不用特意去農也能破關 遊戲就是做任 打怪 升等 就是傳統回合制 不過可能有人會不喜歡這類 建議先試demo再決定 demo時長也很夠

This is my first entry into the series, and to be honest, it was the best choice I could've made. I'm a massive fan of JRPG's, and this game had scratched every itch I've had recently. The combat is fun, the story is great, the characters are memorable and fun to interact with. I will be honest and say, in some moments I had a feeling I'd get disappointed with the story itself, given how it starts off; I worried it might've been another case of a game, where the story you know even before playing it, if that makes sense? Several points seem generic and predictable, and yet this game always managed to surprise me in a positive way. I'd recommend this game to any JRPG fan out there that hadn't played it yet, or any person that had eye on Dragon Quest series for a while, but wasn't sure which game would be THE perfect entry point; it's this one. Give it a go.
