(gestures broadly to the dozens of other identical threads)

My vote would be yes. As a lover of both DQ9 and this one, I feel this one is superior in just about every way.

At $20 USD if more than worth it. (DQXI S)

DQIX had online multiplayer hence why I believe it had customization. This game on the other hard is purely a standard single player JRPG. I had a DS but I never got the chance to buy IX btw.

I mean, this game also has "customization", as in every character has their own "skill trees" where you allocate skill points, which allow you to make builds for them. Every character has access to at least 2 weapon types (some types are better than the other), there's a ton of equipment in general to find, buy and make in your own forge. Again, every character has a few costumes that change their appearance and you can toggle them on or off regardless of the armor you wear at the moment. You can (and should) upgrade your equipment at the forge, so yeah, there's quite a bt of "customization" unless by this you mean just character looks.

He probably means character's look as DQIX let you chose your hair, face, gender etc. A very minuscule character creator. I think it had a class system too but I'm not sure.

Personally I think 11 is one of the best of the entire series. I enjoyed the story and side features for completion more than previous games.

That said it's a very by-the-numbers release that is focused more on representing the entire series than it is on being original, so it's more of a polished release of what's come before without adding a lot that's new.

While graphics are not something I focus on, it's nice that it's the best looking 3D release so far.

for $20? Absolutely. One of the best Dragon quest games, and probably one of the best Jrpgs there is.

It's fine. It's cookie cutter and very basic in terms of role playing and everyone looks like they jumped out of a dragonball episode. Enemies are all goofy looking. None of them are serious. English voices are absolutely horrendous and the translation isn't good either. Gonna have to get used to those frikkin huge eyes of some of the characters, but other than that it's pretty enjoyable. Wouldn't go as far as stating it's the best of anything, but at least it's better than Dragon Quest 8. I frikking hated that game. Quit that after a few hours. This one, I think I'll finish it. Characters are pretty fun even though they're all stock, other than the protagonist who is mute and has 0 personality for no reason.

Just giving some facts and opinions on the game for OP. Most people here are just fanboying, without providing an honest opinion.

It's a fun game, but not without Its weaknesses.

You didn't post a single fact, just opinions.

Characters are stock, just copies of any JRPG that came before it. Fact. Dragonball. Fact. Huge eyes. Fact. Goofy enemies. Fact. Protagonist is mute. Fact. Protagonist has no personality. Fact.

I also added some opinions for sure. But plenty of facts there too.

All the characters from every Dragon Quest game had been designed by Akira Toriyama who was the creator of Dragon Ball and it had been tradition and what gives this series identity and makes it stand out.

In fact I hope Toyotaro takes over to keep the tradition because I don't want this series to use the generic anime style of today. Also I don't want photo realistic trash either.
