I love DQ11. But I hit the wall about 17 hours in, and I haven't played it for a few months. I really want to get back to it though. It's a great game.
DQ Anyone?

Not Dairy Queen, although I could go for some of that right now, but Dragon Quest. I played a little bit of Dragon Quest XI on my PS4 today.
Dragon Quest XI: From Dragon Quest I to Dragon Quest XI, how far this series has come. What's that, 34 years thereabouts? From 2D 8-bit pixelated environments to giant set pieces of gorgeous detail, DQXI looks pretty great. You could say, with turn-based battles, the series hasn't in essence changed much but I'm glad for that. Although I liked the action-time battle system in Final Fantasy IV, I could never get into it with FFXII and beyond. DQ has remained true to it's roots and I appreciate that.
Well, I restated DQ XI for the third time and got a level farther but am still escaping the dungeons. It's funny how one plays a game differently every time. This time I spent some time in the central city of Helio. . . something or other and completed a few side quests, found some extra treasure and bought some more equipment. I think the last few times I just blasted through there without exploring much. On the other hand though, I didn't explore much getting there like I did before. I just galloped through the wilderness, skipping most of the excounters and avoiding all side routes. I've been automating most battles too this time. I used tactics and set everyone to "heal first" and the "mix it up" later. I kind of want to automate the battles right now and do more exploring.
I'm playing this at home where I usually don't get much time, but hopefully I'll get a hour in here and there to get much further in this game.
