It’s ironic that Dunkey picked the octopus boss as an example of a boss you have to grind to beat as there is an old lady on the island the arc takes place in that will give you her canon for free that will make the boss waay easier. Like, it gets stunned for 3-4 turns right off the bat easy.
DQXI is easily one of my favourite games, I love it so much, and I’m so glad dunkey enjoyed it even a little, as he’s said in another video, 3/5 for dunkey pretty much means it held his interest and it’s worth playing to the end, which in my opinion it absolutely is, if anyone hasn’t played this game yet, do it, it’s really good

Thats not sad at all. That just means you didn't rush through the game like dunkey did. Also I doubt he even did the post game which is a good 30 hours right there. The game is supposed to take like 100 or so hours.
@@user-ok8yq6nc6xHe probably just rushed the main quest and tried to skip every mob possible, if you do sidequests as they appear and take your time you don't really have to grind at all except for some optional stuff.
My first time it took me like 65 ish for act 1 and 2 including sidequests and then 90 total for the whole thing, wouldve took me longer if i didnt abuse early electro light, took me like 3 ish hrs of grinding from 35ish to get to lvl 99 so i dont get the point
Took 90+ hours from me to get every character lv 99 and make all the best +3 weapons、+3 armors and then finally,less than 9 minutes to beat off the giant beetle
To be fair, I always liked DQ's handling of the grinding with the metal ennemies. Once you understand that these are the shit to grind, you start minmaxing your party arround the fact that you need ways to deal with these, understanding the many tools the game gives ya to beat them and once you encounter them it's always a big moment where you hold your breath and pray for good rng. I get that it ultimately becomes really frustrating, but it's also like the fun of going into a casino and hoping for a good roll, and in the end even if the odds are stacked against you you always end up having results. In any case it's way better than "lesser ennemy bashing"
How can a video be posted 5 minutes ago, someone make a comment and over a hundred and eighty people already approve of it??????? I'm starting to think, my PC doesn't actually show me correctly calculated times...
Instead of going on a rant about random encounters vs avoidable encounters I'll just keep it short. Earthbound has the best grinding mechanic. If your obviously stronger than the enemy, it's instantly killed and you get the exp.
That's pretty common for any JRPG and in DQ case, lower level enemies would just run away from you and there's also enemies that mutiply your EXPx10/x20 no matter what.
@@TylerEdlin84 alright, I understand why you may dislike it, I know many people don't like the battle mechanic. I think that earthbound still holds up to this date, however, as you don't play it just for the battling, you play it for the funny characters and story.
@@danielahn5140 maybe because he's just giving his opinion as someone who may not like the tedium of the battles, yet likes literally everything else about the game. Almost like not everyone, even other jrpg fans like grinding. Cause he's talking to an audience that may not like them but he wants to show off the ones he thinks are worth playing?
i completed the main story in 98 hours. theres still so much to do. this game made me cry. you can change your characters skill tree at any point. it was worth every penny
3:52 Holy shit. So I tend to listen to CZcams videos instead of watching them. I had no idea how ingrained FFVII and Chrono Trigger were embedded in my mind. Instantly knew the music.
I feel like Dunkey at least partially set himself up for not enjoying the second half of the game because the level curve caught up with him not doing random encounters in the first half. The game assumes you're going to be fighting a lot in the dungeons, and balances the bosses around what level you're likely to be at by the time you fight them. Having a really low level curve means the game is way too easy to make too easy for yourself. Sounds like Dunkey just doesn't like JRPGs and doesn't want to play them the way they're designed to be played, and then blamed the game when the game pushed back against his refusal to engage with the game on its own terms. Despite this, I still respect Dunkey, and I like the fact that he still gives a lot of respect to positive aspects of games, even in a genre he personally hates. signed, a JRPG fan who also hates excessive grinding.
He probably looked up "most exp drop" and then grinded those enemies out for 3 hours like he mentioned the metal slime and most likely others at the end.
Dunkey likes a whole 5 RPGs, undertale which is more of a turn based bullet hell, deltarune (see undertale), paper mario which is probly because of the combat being more engaging, persona 5 which has a really streamlined battle system and less focus on combat, and ff15 which had real time combat Safe to say dunkey just has a bias against turn based combat. (This is coming from a jrpg fan who also kinda dislikes turn based combat)
Makes me happy as a long-time DQ fan. Despite having a JRPG formula, it definitely stands out among the rest. Dragon Quest is turn-based combat done right (partly due to the fact it cemented generic JRPG tropes before any other series did)
Gotta say that you summed up perfectly things that I dislike about jRPGs, even if I enjoy playing them overall. Especially the point about having too many punching bags instead of fewer challenging encounters.
This game is extremely charming and the world building and the characters are fantastic. I've played other dragon quest games and this by FAR has the least grinding so don't let that put you off. Although I did spend 100 hours on the main story so maybe it is grindy if you go through it quicker

That means it's actually good everyone. Wrap it up.

@@seanxednycanonuevo2064 you're just jealous the Dunk dictated this game to be on equal grounds as Uncharted 4 lmao
@@Amra.. I thought that was for The Last of Us.
@@seanxednycanonuevo2064 Point is, he gave it a 3. It isn't up to us to change his standards for him. Besides, its the Dunk we're talking about: He can probably give it a GlazedBlueberryDonut/5 and it will still be an actual standard.
If Dragon Quest XI Echoes of an Elusive Age S Definitive Edition is so good why isn’t there a Dragon Quest XI Echoes of an Elusive Age S Definitive Edition 2?

@@mangotango8115 I played the game and it's good until the final boss where the stupid fucking dragon started to autoload ammo so I can't cock block the crewmates which just made me lose all motivation for beating the game.

“20 hours of game stretched into 40”
Me now feeling sad that it took me over 100 hours to fully complete the game.
Thats not sad at all. That just means you didn't rush through the game like dunkey did. Also I doubt he even did the post game which is a good 30 hours right there. The game is supposed to take like 100 or so hours.
@@user-ok8yq6nc6xHe probably just rushed the main quest and tried to skip every mob possible, if you do sidequests as they appear and take your time you don't really have to grind at all except for some optional stuff.
My first time it took me like 65 ish for act 1 and 2 including sidequests and then 90 total for the whole thing, wouldve took me longer if i didnt abuse early electro light, took me like 3 ish hrs of grinding from 35ish to get to lvl 99 so i dont get the point
Took 90+ hours from me to get every character lv 99 and make all the best +3 weapons、+3 armors and then finally,less than 9 minutes to beat off the giant beetle
@@jpo6714 Game sold horribly here in the Uk I didn't even bother with it at that point
To be fair, I always liked DQ's handling of the grinding with the metal ennemies. Once you understand that these are the shit to grind, you start minmaxing your party arround the fact that you need ways to deal with these, understanding the many tools the game gives ya to beat them and once you encounter them it's always a big moment where you hold your breath and pray for good rng. I get that it ultimately becomes really frustrating, but it's also like the fun of going into a casino and hoping for a good roll, and in the end even if the odds are stacked against you you always end up having results. In any case it's way better than "lesser ennemy bashing"
This game really makes you feel like your the chosen one.
Really this whole game is about swapping to the old man.
So underrated ref
I FEEL LIKE IVE HEARD THAT SOMEWHERE BEFORE
No, you are an ice cube now.
That old man’s a dickhead in the main game. Maybe that’s why you don’t get to chose him

I liked the video when you called Sylvando “Gayzilla”
King of the Gays

This video made me realize how much of my lifetime I wasted grinding...
No joke, I was invested to DQ just because I'm incredibly gay for Sylvando alone.
Sylvando is best boy, and good utility!
Valid. Im more partial to Erik myself
"Also, he is the gayest man of all time."
Dunkey, you've sold me on this game.
He really is.
That's gay
So you decide to pick up games if they have homosexual characters??
That's super valid :)
And f*ck anyone who complains

I think it's weird that dunkey didn't mention that almost quarter of the NPCs are really really FAT dudes
definitely made the USA localization team’s job easier
It’s an U.S simulator.
The dub is pretty good.
They added the Nanking denial mini-game. You can thank the music composer for that one.
so almost 3/4 of the NPCs are fit. It is way better than the US, then
Every JRPG has that oh shit moment when you realize those optional battles weren't so optional

@@Blittsplitt5 Nah. Regular people don't like JRPGs
I don't play video games to read thousands of text boxes and press "attack" to win. And I absolutely despise experience grinding.
@@11clocky TBH this game's got next to no grinding, Dunkey just skipped more fights than he should have along the way.
@@11clocky Not all JRPGs have turn-based combat
This was my exact experience with this game, not caring about grinding until the Squid boss. And that battle music haunts me every night.
I love the battle theme, battle animations, and set the party to “show no mercy” and the game never feels like a grind.
Exactly. I kinda do my own things as the auto fight works for me. Then when it's over, run to the next guy and get back to my own thing.

Instead of going on a rant about random encounters vs avoidable encounters I'll just keep it short. Earthbound has the best grinding mechanic. If your obviously stronger than the enemy, it's instantly killed and you get the exp.
That's pretty common for any JRPG and in DQ case, lower level enemies would just run away from you and there's also enemies that mutiply your EXPx10/x20 no matter what.
Earthbound also sucks
@@TylerEdlin84 said no person ever
Cade-o I played it 20 years ago, didn’t like it then, tried it last year again still don’t get the appeal. It was just blah.
@@TylerEdlin84 alright, I understand why you may dislike it, I know many people don't like the battle mechanic. I think that earthbound still holds up to this date, however, as you don't play it just for the battling, you play it for the funny characters and story.
Dunkey: the way you make even shit shine warms my heart and i respect you
The spear of the Cruelcumber doesn't impale it, he catches it last minute. I really admire the amount of details in the dragon quest series
"How you not gonna like Platypunk?!"
I love how he says it
I like Blyatpunk more.
"And I repeat, I've never actually played Dragonquest XI"
That sounds familiar, where did it originate?
Shnarfbird some guy criticised Dunkey for his octopath traveler review.
He hasn't played the game.
No You are nitpicky and biased I win byebye
I am so happy this is still a thing.
@@danielahn5140 maybe because he's just giving his opinion as someone who may not like the tedium of the battles, yet likes literally everything else about the game. Almost like not everyone, even other jrpg fans like grinding. Cause he's talking to an audience that may not like them but he wants to show off the ones he thinks are worth playing?
i completed the main story in 98 hours. theres still so much to do. this game made me cry. you can change your characters skill tree at any point. it was worth every penny
Every Dragon Quest is the best Dragon Quest.
Regardless of your current timeline.
Forever...
@@unrayman6030 ok, 5 is truly the best one.
"...the true main character is actually Sylvando."
And that's a 'like'.
“Then he starts leading the gay pride parade” lmao just lmao
In the Special Edition, you actually create the parade manually.
@@ridjenite oh then its special alright
The player character's description was 100% accurate.
That montage of repeated battle songs is what makes RPGs so much fun. 🤗
This game makes you really feel like Sylvando.
You can play a sylvando
He only gives 3s to games he has fun playing so that's a pretty good recommendation for a JRPG as far as Dunkey is concerned lol
3:52 Holy shit. So I tend to listen to CZcams videos instead of watching them. I had no idea how ingrained FFVII and Chrono Trigger were embedded in my mind. Instantly knew the music.
I feel like Dunkey at least partially set himself up for not enjoying the second half of the game because the level curve caught up with him not doing random encounters in the first half. The game assumes you're going to be fighting a lot in the dungeons, and balances the bosses around what level you're likely to be at by the time you fight them. Having a really low level curve means the game is way too easy to make too easy for yourself. Sounds like Dunkey just doesn't like JRPGs and doesn't want to play them the way they're designed to be played, and then blamed the game when the game pushed back against his refusal to engage with the game on its own terms. Despite this, I still respect Dunkey, and I like the fact that he still gives a lot of respect to positive aspects of games, even in a genre he personally hates.
signed, a JRPG fan who also hates excessive grinding.
At the end it should have said “more dunkeyquest XI echoes of an elusive age S definitive edition”

"25 hours of game stretched to 40" I'm 37 hours in and I see no end in sight. Did you speed run this game?
He probably looked up "most exp drop" and then grinded those enemies out for 3 hours like he mentioned the metal slime and most likely others at the end.
For you all first-timer
This is the nicest review dunkey has ever gave on jrpg games
he said Persona 5 is good too but he didnt do a full review
He liked FFXV a bit too. Other than that... yeah, Dunkey's just not an RPG type of guy. xD
He really has shitty opinions.
Dunkey likes a whole 5 RPGs, undertale which is more of a turn based bullet hell, deltarune (see undertale), paper mario which is probly because of the combat being more engaging, persona 5 which has a really streamlined battle system and less focus on combat, and ff15 which had real time combat
Safe to say dunkey just has a bias against turn based combat. (This is coming from a jrpg fan who also kinda dislikes turn based combat)
Makes me happy as a long-time DQ fan. Despite having a JRPG formula, it definitely stands out among the rest.
Dragon Quest is turn-based combat done right (partly due to the fact it cemented generic JRPG tropes before any other series did)
Damn, if Dunkey liked it this must be the greatest JRPG of all time
Pudding Pants Nah. There are better JRPGs.

Gotta say that you summed up perfectly things that I dislike about jRPGs, even if I enjoy playing them overall. Especially the point about having too many punching bags instead of fewer challenging encounters.
This game is extremely charming and the world building and the characters are fantastic. I've played other dragon quest games and this by FAR has the least grinding so don't let that put you off. Although I did spend 100 hours on the main story so maybe it is grindy if you go through it quicker
