If you are used to JRPG's, then you already know about this series. Want a game with lots of replay value? How about 100 plus hours! Pick this up for that old school experience.

If you are a fan of the dq universe this game is a must. It’s also a solid rpg without being a fan. Reason it’s not a 5 is the issue with the soundtrack being inferior and the switch version will have more content even if visually inferior. If you only have ps4 get this version. Music being subpar aside. It’s worth having.

My wife spent close to 100 hours playing this game, exploring all she can. She is a huge Final Fantasy fan and loves JRPGs in general, so this was a sure hit with her.

It's another Dragon Quest

About what you should expect from a modernized Dragon Quest. It doesn't fundamentally change much, but the graphics are updated and some of the gameplay systems (battle, character growth) take a few pages from other games to take baby steps forward. Otherwise it's a very old-school rpg.
Two caveats. One the music is still bad. I know it's Dragon Quest music, and it's just never going to change. But that doesn't mean it's good and that it shouldn't change. It's aged poorly, it doesn't fit the scenes it's on top of. And the composer is a bigoted fascist. Just change it.
The other one is that the environments are too linear, in a geographic way. 8 and 9 didn't necessary have *larger* environments, but they had wider and more open environments that felt like dynamic places. When you look at the DQ11 map, it looks pretty big ... but very little of it is walkable. All of the dots are basically just connected by thin mountain passes. After you've traversed most of the world, it begins to feel small and constraining. You'll look at that last third of the globe and realize "Oh, that's probably just a little valley." It's a bit of a bummer.

DQXI is a great JRPG that has enough callbacks to previous games while maintaining modern steps that the genre has established. Fun gameplay and awesome visuals round it out.

Dragon Quest XI is a wonderful RPG. The game takes around 100 hours, but it feels like it moves at a quick pace regardless.
Definitely recommended for RPG fans.

Really great casual JRPG. It harkens hack to classic DQ and even FF.
Really great time if you want a good old fashioned JRPG.

One of the top JRPG series of all time has finally made an appearance on the current gen. Excellent game if you are a fan of traditional RPGs. Will be hard to beat.
