Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition - Nintendo Switch

I picked this up on PS4 last year but held off playing it because of it coming to the switch. I have played a few of the games in the series but never finished any. This one will be the one that I play through to completion. If you are hesitant on whether or not you will like it, there is a demo that you can download for free. Your progress save transfers to the main game if you plan on purchasing after playing the demo. Highly recommended.

Between the demo and the game today on release I am over twenty hours into this already, and I've barely scratched the surface. A masterpiece of a game with traditional turn-based combat and an amazing orchestrated soundtrack. Highly recommend to any fans of JRPGs; if you are on the fence, try out the free demo!

I traded in the ps4 edition for this and I'm not disappointed. I'm getting a whole new 2d game and more store. On thing the ps4 version had that this one does not is targets. In the ps4 dq11, there were about 5 targets scattered across each region and you had to hunt them down. The switch version does not have them, which is actually a relief. The 2d game and 3d game are separate but with items carrying over and you can jump backwards into chapters to find things or replay story. You switch at the save points. One downside is that if you play 5 chapters of 3d and go backwards to ch 1 2d, you cannot jump forwards again to the newer chapter in 3d. You have to start at an equal place in the story to the older 2d chapter you're in. I'm very pleased with my purchase, and I highly recommend dqx1

I was happy to see this come to the Switch. I hadn’t played a Dragon Quest game since Dragon Warriors on the NES. I used to play those repeatedly over and over. I liked them more than Final Fantasy. I also recently purchased Final Fantasy X and haven’t finished it. This game took over my game time. I’m almost 40 hours in and I’m definitely not trying to rush through it. The story is great and the battle system was easy to learn (pep powers too). I’m almost towards the end it seems but I’ve heard there is a huge postgame story as well. Can’t wait.

I first off will say I have the PS4 version also and love the game as much if not more then DQVIII. Here you get full orchestra music versus the PS4 symphonic ost. I also love having a chance to play this in 16 bit retro 2D mode. If you have s Switch or Switch Lite and love the series or not you owe it to yourself to pick this title up.

Music is fantastic unlike someone’s review. If you love the dragon quest series in general this game is so good. Akira toriyama (dbz artist) Art is amazing as usual. You won’t go wrong with this game if you love classic rpgs

This game is a well developed and the game play both portable and Docked. The graphics is a notch above most games. I played the Demo and now the Physical game and can say being able to load the Demo save and continue is great. Gameplay is also intuitive once you learn them and doesn't require alot of memorization to get into the game. So for a 2019 game is a must have. Only issue is if you go portable with a graphics intensive game it will take a toll on the battery. But that is the trade-off that one takes but game play in return is one to experience.

I have this on PS4, too, but decided to play it on Switch because of all the additions and upgrades they put into this version. I don't take the Switch off the tv dock much but its nice to have that option when someone else in the family is hogging the tv. The game itself is fantastic, core Dragon Quest experiences... so glad we get most everything DQ related in the West nowadays. Highly recommended, this is the best version of the game!
