@Chad_Concelmo I don't know what you guys have been eating in the entirety of 2025, but it must have been super nutritious.

We are all very excited in the office this morning! 🙌

@TruthTeaSpill I hope it randomly clicks for you some time! But maybe it just isn't meant to be, that happens too. I have impossibly high expectations for XII, lol. I will try to keep them down, but I don't think I can help it.

@ChristophRPG Same! I was still gonna try and platinum it but I think I'll come back to that another time because it has left me feeling a little underwhelmed 😭. XI is a very high bar...I pray XII can live up to it 🙏

I've been playing Dragon Quest XI S since beating VII Reimagined. Every time I beat another Dragon Quest game, I seem to always return to XI S. Maybe it is just the greatest RPG ever made. To me, it's close. Dragon Quest XII have some gigantic shoes to fill, that's for sure.

@James366748 I don’t understand, but I'm happy for you.

@ChristophRPG This post makes me happy. Not for anything particular but what he called FF7. Reimagined, love it I feel accomplished

@YoImVibing123 Dhoulmagus is an S-tier villain.

@ChristophRPG Playing viii at the moment and it’s rivaling xi for me, such a fun game, great cast and the gameplay is so fun and well balanced, Dhoulmagus is kicking my ass atm tho lol

@TruthTeaSpill I hate feeling meh about a game I really wanted to love. But XI is a high bar for DQ to be fair.

@ChristophRPG XI is my absolute favourite DQ game. I've just finished VII and I've been left feeling a little meh about it sadly 😭

@pizzakei1 Of course. I don't know anything about the technicalities and principles of localisations, so it's not my place to judge anything.

@ChristophRPG At least you understand it means something to a lot of people

@KazennaVa I know. It's shameful. I didn't notice before posting. But looking at the top right credits, it kind of appears to look fine, so maybe it's just the Switch 2 version that has a stroke playing it. I will investigate.

@ChristophRPG What is this 240p screenshot

@Romeomafia0502 I didn't notice until I looked at the screenshot I posted. So I guess it's not a big deal for me when playing, but I see what you mean.

@ChristophRPG Switch 2 looks too blurry. Had to put it on hold till hopefully gets patch

@Brodigerbuzz You should! It's so good.

@ChristophRPG I’m gonna be playing eventually

@Chrisw801 Yes, sir.

@ChristophRPG Dragon Quest XI is the GOAT!

@chronotrigger73 I love mythology. IV - VI remakes before XII is a real possibility, but it's not very probable.

@ChristophRPG XII is a myth, get ready for a remake of a game with 4 versions already best i can do. You know what it's been too long since III got a new version get back in the kitchen square

@pizzakei1 I'm always fascinated by how much passion there is for JRPG localisation. I personally think the English writing of every Dragon Quest is amazing.

@ChristophRPG I just want a proper retranlation. The mod we've got isn't really that good

@tsuneTheSlime I still haven't played it on draconian. I'm weak.

@ChristophRPG I always replay it with draconian quests, and then i always stop at the same point, aka lonalulu octopus that b is stronggg

@mgirenj My personal amalgamation of games I want XII to be inspired from are III, VII, IX and XI for the same reasons. Customization is the key word for me, but yes, still have the main cast have personalities.

@ChristophRPG Personally, I'd like to see XII adopt some combination of IX and XI. Have characters with notable personalities/default jobs, but make job-switching possible. I guess kind of like what DQ7:RI did. Abilities can be distributed via a careful balancing act.

@TrodeofTrodain Same here. And yes, the main cast is amazing.

@ChristophRPG XI-S has become somewhat of a comfort RPG for me to return to. With Super Strong monsters, it's just the right level of difficulty where I have to remain engaged but not think TOO hard (nor grind until act 3). Plus I love the main cast.

@KNXCKLE Yeah, it's cool that a super traditional turn-based combat system can feel like a breath of fresh air. Everything just feels right in XI.

@GR8AP Well, however you define classic, it might be. But there is a below 1% chance they switch up the battle system enough for it to feel un- DQ-like. Most likely it's going to be something like Octopath's I think.

@ChristophRPG I really liked this game, but it kind of feels like it’s wrapping up the whole DQ era, like FF9 did before everything changed. And now there’s talk that the next DQ might switch up the battle system. I’ll be pretty upset if this ends up being the last classic game in the series

@17RudeusGreyrat I love VIII to bits as well. It's close to XI for me. It's also very nostalgic, which colours me greatly.

@ChristophRPG i have that feeling with VIII, the best for me :)

@KyleHydeFan Understandable. You should play the remakes of III, I and II, those are a really good mix of the old and new.

@ChristophRPG I haven't played that many (5, 7, 8, 11) but nothing has topped 11S for me lol

@Huddyfuddy Agree. It's a perfect game to get someone into JRPGs in my opinion!

@ChristophRPG I just restarted my play-though after a year break. It really is nearly perfect. Should be everyone’s first JRPG
