It may have been a long wait, but it was well worth it. Dragon Quest XI is a beautiful, exemplary RPG that has a strong cast of characters and an addicting combat system. The world is brimming with life thanks to the stellar translation efforts and the charismatic voice acting. This is only complimented by the lovely graphical designs, as Akira Toriyama’s work has never looked so good in video game...
