General:
Being only in a language I don't understand was certainly a trial to overcome but thanks to a few tools and the fanbase I've managed to have a lot of fun with it.
Version 1:
The story is nice (albeit hard to understand because you know ... Japanese only). Something I really like is the character customization and races. Traveling the giant maps while only being able to set 2 fast travel is a pain tho. I beat it without multiplayer but was able to play multiplayer with some friends later which was nice. The Calamity side quest is super cool. I love 9 so seeing connections is really exciting. Overall far from my favorite DQ but not the worst. 7/10.
Version 2:
Nice extra story and a cool new mascot character. You can unlock a better fast travel item which greatly improves the game although it would've been nice to get way sooner. Overall a nice addition.
Version 3:
The new race isn't playable which is unfortunate. I like that the plot is more lore heavy than the previous expansion even if it's shorter.
Version 4:
I love time travel stories if they're done right and this did it right. I love the Zeal Chrono Trigger atmosphere, new lore, and the new characters. This expansion's story is definitely my favorite part of this game. It's s shame it's locked behind a lot of progression in a Japanese only game because it's really great.
