#Dragon Quest XI S Echoes Of An Elusive Age

[bi-leth-eisner]

now that i’m done with Legends Arceus, I wonder if I should pick Three Houses back up. there are some things i left off, some challenges i wanna try, and a certain route i wanna experience once more with less recruited characters

#oh but also i have games on my switch ive never touched after i got them #like Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition‚ Skyward Sword HD‚ Summertime Madness #and games like Metroid Dread and Hades and DRAGON QUEST XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition #idk man i just need Something to kill the time. maybe some Animal Crossing. idk #i kinda miss three houses tho is the thing

And now the Switch counterpart for the previous post, this time with all the Switch games I've started playing in the past five years but haven't finished but also am at least pretending I'll get back to eventually.

Hades is one I did technically finish, but only the main story the one time. I do want to play more and get some more of more people's stories and unlock some more stuff, but I just keep having other stuff to do. Great game though, and I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Final Fantasy 12 is one I keep going back to every once in a while. I do genuinely like a lot of stuff about it, but I inevitably run into something really annoying about it too every several hours and then take a break for a few months or a year. I do plan to finish it eventually though, and I'm slowly getting closer.

Bayonetta 2 is a lot better than the first game, which had some great ideas but just felt to me like it wasn't quite done figuring out what to do with them. I stopped like halfway through because reasons and haven't picked it up again yet at least partly because I feel like it would benefit from being on the TV instead of handheld, but I can't see the TV well enough.

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line is another one with the TV problem. I could play it just fine handheld, but the music in it deserves better than the built-in speakers, and the headphone jack is just awful quality. Unfortunately I can't see the TV and don't have my little audio box I run the Switch through so I can use my headphones with it while it's docked.

Tears of the Kingdom is also another TV victim. It's pretty low priority for me to get back to because I really don't love the direction they've gone with BotW and TotK, but it at least partially solves a lot of the problems I had with BotW so I've enjoyed it more. It's completely unplayable handheld for me though because the control setup is bad with a pro controller and literally unusable on the joycons, so it's on hold indefinitely until I can do something about that.

Dragon Quest 11 is so painfully slow replaying the first dozen hours that I already did in the demo on my computer a few years ago, and it makes it hard to work up the motivation to push through it. A lot of stuff about it is great though, and I really enjoyed this stuff the first time through, so I'll deal with it eventually. Probably.

GrimGrimoire OnceMore (or GRiMgRiMoiRe OnCeMoRe if the logo is anything to go by) is something I wanted to finish before Unicorn Overlord comes out, but that's almost definitely not happening. I got sidetracked and stopped playing it for a few months and totally forgot how everything works, and it's really not very forgiving of that. We'll see if I can remember how to video games one of these days.

Disco Elysium does so many things so well even though it's really not my usual kind of thing. I just haven't felt like my brain is in the right place for it lately.

Baten Kaitos is still fun 20 years later. I've been taking a break though because my ADHD brain decided it was time to do something else after like the first dozen hours or so. I'm in no rush with it because I've already played it before forever ago, so it'll get there when it gets there.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land has kind of made me like it less as it goes on. Like it's still plenty of fun, I just kept finding more little annoyances toward the end and lost my momentum. I've finished the main story and rolled the credits and everything, but I only made it partway through the postgame stuff before needing a break.

Jack Jeanne I'm actually actively working on, or was as of a day or two ago. I may or may not need a break because it takes forever to go through all the different routes, and after doing the neutral route first I don't like the individual character ones quite as much. That first time through that first route was my favorite thing so far this year though.

Egglia Rebirth is one of those things I go back to for a few hours a couple times a year. I still really like a lot of things about it, but it gets a little grindy and repetitive trying to do too much at once, and my brain is not suited to coming back to games for like half an hour or an hour once a day for days or weeks in a row. I need to do like 12 hours straight in a single sitting and then not touch it again for six months, which is really not the ideal way to play this.

Fire Emblem Warriors is also another few hours every few months game. I have an overly complex spreadsheet that I built off one of the existing ones online but added a bunch of stuff to it and enhanced it, and slowly checking stuff off is satisfying. I'm a good chunk of the way through history mode, but it'll take approximately forever to finish everything if I ever do.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is also a few hours every few months between other games. I already finished it a while ago and am just going through the story again on NG+. I still really like the characters and story, but this experience is quickly making the combat system become possibly my least favorite in the entire series, when before I felt like every game got better than the previous one.

The House in Fata Morgana I guess can be included too. I finished the actual main story last year and it was great, but I'm still pretending I'll try to get through the extra side stories and stuff one of these days. We'll see, I guess.

Between these lists in these two posts I'm at least theoretically in the middle of playing like 30 games. Why yes, I do have ADHD and a variety of other weird things going on in my brain. How did you guess?

hi penny snapcube im a huge fan of ur videos

all of ur talking abt dragon quest has made me wanna try it and i was wondering what game u recommend playing first. is DRAGON QUEST® XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition a good choice or should i start somewhere else?

yeah Dragon Quest 11 was my first one and it's a perfect place to start :) it's the most modern so you don't have to put up with as many antiquated design aspects, it's gorgeous, has tons of content, and it's also highly accessible when it comes to platforms you can play it on.

GOTY 2022

These are games I played this year, not necessarily released this year.

THREE: Tetris Effect.

I CRIED WHILE PLAYING TETRIS. I FELT CONNECTED TO HUMANITY.... BECAUSE OF TETRIS. This game was so fucking good, it's mind boggling.

TWO: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age.

I'm at an age where I don't have the patience for long JRPGs anymore so I don't really engage with those kind of prolonged game experiences. But people would not shut the fuck up about DQXIS:EoaEA and it was on game pass, so why not?

It starts off feeling like you're playing an old Saturday morning anime episode, but with frankly higher production value. And then about 4 hours in, the game made me fucking have to pause because I was crying? And then it just never stopped being excellent.

The structure of this game, the way it's intended to be digested in like one to two hour chunks, the pacing of it set up so you always are handed a neat, tidy little stopping point, it's really a magical experience. Also the end of act one turn this game takes is phenomenal. Also against all odds, Sylvando is now maybe my favorite queer character in a video game. Like, for real. Sylvando is fucking magic.

Give this game a fucking shot! Try it! Just try it, okay! Don't we all deserve a good cry?

(also as a person who has always disliked Akira Toriyami's art style: this cured me. I am cured.)

ONE: Tunic.

I have always hated spoiler culture. I am of the mind that if a story requires you to be unspoiled to enjoy it, then that's actually a weakness of the writing more than something to brag about.

Tunic is the exception. Going into this game knowing only the basic concept (it's a Zelda-like adventure in which you explore a world and in the process collect the Literal Game Manual For The Game You Are Playing and slowly unravel its mysteries) meant I was primed for literally one of the greatest experiences I've ever had in a video game.

The game looks lovely, the music is off the fucking charts, there are accessibility options if you get frustrated that would should absolutely use when you feel like you need, and the creeping shadow of understanding that slowly covers the game, it's all INCREDIBLE.

But in the end: figuring out the secret of the Path was so fucking exhilarating, made me feel like such a fucking genius, had everyone in my family conferring with the in-game manual and TWO FULL PAGES OF HAND-WRITTEN NOTES.... that is a moment I will remember forever.

Used to be Undertale was my "I would erase my memory of this game and experience it anew" game pick. Then, it was Paradise Killer. fuck both those choices, I would love to experience Tunic again. Game of the fucking year.

Is there anything you would change in your favorite game?

can we get married

anyway hm. what would I change about Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age: Definitive Edition? I could make an argument about how the English version differs a lot from the original text regarding a Certain Character and how I'd like that to be handled differently, but I don't speak Japanese, I only know of that from word of mouth.

so instead I'd probably only change small stuff. this would be a lot of unnecessary work, but I'd love it if the remade areas were done in the style of each game they're from (i.e. instead of all being SNES style, the VII areas would be PS1 style, the VIII areas would be PS2 style, etc....) and make it so that they have the same battle system as the regular game instead of going back to classic DQ "choose all commands first" style...

I'd also love it if the 3DS version was translated to English, though I don't even have a 3DS at the moment to play it.

lovely question though.

my second favorite game, Bloodstained Ritual of the Night, is so deeply flawled that I could write a book on what to improve on it. my third favorite game, R4 Ridge Racer Type 4, needs no improvements at all.
