Dragon Quest XI Import: A Truly Living, Breathing (and Stunning) World
A wide variety of vast lands are waiting for you to explore in Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age. Gallop on your horse, set sail, or even mount some of Dragon Quest’s iconic monsters. Towns and villages are crowded with quirky characters to talk to, and dungeons and caves are packed with hidden items and treasure chests. There is just so much to do in Rotozetashia. But make no mistake. This is by no means an open world game. The vision behind Rotozetashia is true to the world making of traditional Japanese RPGs, but it expands on that in creative ways.
Open world games give the player as much freedom as possible, but that doesn’t necessarily work as well for a heavily story driven game like Dragon Quest XI. While there are almost always decisions to make, in the end Dragon Quest XI is a linear experience, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. As a matter of fact, it is the linearity that makes the sublime level design in this game possible.
