Instead of dancing around it, I’m going to just come out and say it. I don’t think Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age was very good. Right now, I would rate it my least favorite Dragon Quest game, with all three entries that I’ve previously played to completion (DQ4-6, via the DS remakes) topping it by varying margins. I still did enjoy my time with it, to be fair, and I wouldn’t say it’s bad, per se, but something was off in the blueprints for this one.
