Dragon Quest XI: The Return of the (Truly) Traditional JRPG -- CLS Let's Play
For many of us, Dragon Quest -- or Dragon Warrior, as we once knew it -- was our very first taste of a genre we'd come to love. But mainline releases in the popular JRPG franchise are few and far between, making the upcoming release of Dragon Quest XI in the west so special. Not since PS2's Dragon Quest VIII, which launched outside of Japan in 2005, have we received a traditional console iteration, and it's been eight years since we even had a western entrant in the series at all. So let's take a look at a small slice of DQXI about 13 hours into the 100+ hour adventure, and show you what the combat, the menus, and the systems are all about.
All footage was captured by CLS on a PlayStation 4 (1080p60).
