Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age 2017

Is it still worth playing?

Square Enix's 2017 single player role playing game for the PlayStation 4 and Windows, with a 3DS version in Japan, the eleventh Dragon Quest, set in Erdrea. The Luminary has to save the world from an impending disaster while being persecuted. There are no random encounters on land, as enemies are visible on the overworld, and a free form battle camera is purely visual. Combat is turn based with four active party members out of seven, and zone powers temporarily boost characters so that two or three in the zone can perform combined attacks. A hexagonal skill grid is built from skill points, and the main quest takes about 80 hours. Battle formulas that stay stable while new layers are added, and zone timing that rewards experimenting, still let you set your own difficulty today.
