I prefer the Switch version but the 3DS version has its charm as well.

ドラクエは本当にまるで文学のような立ち位置になったというか、完全に一つの世界を確立しましたね。

played through the prologue because the 3ds version came with a gift i got this month, probably one of my favorite dragon quest games visually in terms of the 3d and i unironically think it looks better than the normal version. it's a shame that after the prologue you have to choose between 3d and 2d instead of having both, but definitely still going to play through the rest of the game with this version after finishing my main playthrough

God i wish they localized this version. The chibi 3d models are absolutely fantastic, and are so good that this version shouldn't be forgotten when discussing best DQXI versions due to them.
