Wow what a game, everything from the combat to the world feels so lively and wonderous. The high fantasy setting which I originally thought was gonna be its biggest undoing is one of its biggest strengths as the likeable characters and whacky scenarios make going through it a blast. My only notable complaints are that the music wasn't nearly as strong as I thought it would be and that some characters were kinda underdeveloped.
I'd 100% recommend Dragon Quest XI if you have the chance to play it
