    A refreshing change of pace from other JRPGs like the Final Fantasy series. The story, mechanics, and visuals are a wonderful homage to classic Animes like Dragonball which provided a great experience. Playing on Stadia was flawless and enabled me to enjoy this game on the go!

    J'adore ce jeux. Les personnages sont tous attachants, l'intrigue bien linéaire, les combats de farming présents, bref un bon gros jrpg de reve.
    Le design du papa de dragon ball nous rempli encore de joie !

    Capolavoro del genere JRPG, forse il migliore fra i capitoli della saga. Gioco di ruolo open world di stampo nipponico caratterizzato da una storia complessa quanto basta a renderla intrigante, condita da una sfilza di personaggi ben disegnati e ben caratterizzati, ognuno con il suo fondamentale ruolo nel prosieguo della narrazione.

Magnifica anche la colonna sonora che accompagna egregiamente il giocatore nell'arco di tutta l'avventura, che se goduta appieno offre oltre un centinaio di ore di contenuti. Piccola nota sul porting su Stadia, di fattura egregia. Il gioco è fluido e magnifico anche in Cloud!… Expand

    If you're a fan of the JRPG genre, this is a must-play. If not, you still should play it. One of the best JRPGs ever released.

    I found Dragon Quest a game of two halves. The first half of the game is perfectly competent but it does take a while for the story to kick in. But when it does you're in for a good time. Would definitely recommend.

    Strong contender for the game I pumped the most hours into over the last several months. Great story, the various enemy designs are wonderful and well worth the money I paid for the game. Things perhaps dragged for me by the end of the game, but then I've never been a huge fan of 'grind' in my video games, but this was one small complaint in an otherwise excellent outing for the series.

    This game was recommended to me from the Stadia community, and what can I say.... I'm in love!

    Interesting characters, a beautiful world and an orchestral soundtrack draw you in from the start. The beautiful cell-shading visuals make you feel like you're in a live anime. For JRPG beginners, many entry hurdles are eased, for example, you can partially automate the battles. If    This game was recommended to me from the Stadia community, and what can I say....

    If you've always wanted to play a JRP and dive into a fantastic fantasy world, then play Dragon Quest XI.    … Expand

This game is too easy, and the only other option is Very Hard mode, and you can't change difficulty after starting. This is a huge core flaw that really sucks, and is hard to understand the existence of. I don't know why this isn't talked about more, though it is talked about. I'm over half way through the game and I have to stop. While at first the characters were charming and the quest fairly interesting, the story is just meandering from reason for it to keep going to reason for it to keep going using anime power up tricks and such. In addition, Akira Toriyama's art design of monsters is extremely hit or miss here, with half or more of the monsters looking like off-brand toys for very young children.

    The game also feels very cheap in a number of other ways, for instance you get to a cool new area only to hear the same exact music for every other area, then you go in a cave and hear the exact same music for every other cave and dungeon. This game is doing as little as it can to make a profit, making sure to extend the playtime so people don't complain. This game is very disappointing, and I am appalled at the praise it has received by players and critics alike.

    If you are looking for a good JRPG experience, I recommend these;

    Dragon Quest IV for the Nintendo DS
    Pokemon Blue or the updated Leaf Green version
    Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest 1
    Radiata Stories    … Expand
