Sad that game journos tried to do a "this makes JRPGs finally grown up" with this game because the developers definitely had an earnest love for the genre.

Unlike you, I played both, so I'll give you a correct answer:

DQ11 is fucking dogshit. The world of "ruin" is done extremely lazily, you needed the extra episodes from the rerelease just to realize that the world was indeed getting fucked. 3rd arc is a joke in terms of writing, it's a literal fanfic that retroactively makes the previous 50 hours worse. Game still has the same basic DQ style gameplay that you've already played before. Customization was heavily downgraded from 9 and 10. The console version lacked the 3DS content. The """definitive""" version included the 3DS content but was downgraded hard thanks to the Shitch being garbage. Barely any good story arcs. HORRIBLE soundtrack solely because you've already heard all of the fucking tracks before, I genuinely can't remember a new track that wasn't the battle themes and overworld, and then the 3rd arc fucks it up further by changing the overworld with the DQ3 one because muh nostalgia. Character designs for the main party are extremely boring, with the protagonist himself having the worst protagonist design in the franchise. And worst of all: you can't waifu master Pang or Mia

E33 on the other hand is objectively a kino game. Actual build variety that isn't just picking a weapon type in the skill tree, great story AND writing, good character designs despite going for a realistic approach, amazing unique soundtrack, gameplay that requires you to gitgudscrub instead of just getting lucky with metal slimes and has actual interesting unique locations that aren't just copy pasted DQ8 environments.

It's impossible to get excited for DQ12 when it will either
a) Be DQ11 2
b) Be westernized cancer

Just let the franchise die please

E33 has no build variety because you can put every single skill on every character very easily. The only "build" you could risk on is the one that gambles your damage percentage. The game immediately breaks by the time you get verso and you're already hitting the damage cap and melting every boss. At that point it just comes to being able to dodge and parry which is the actual fun system of the game.

Why does everyone only ever express their opinion in extremes?
E33 is one of the first games in a while to improve on the turn based JRPG genre but to pretend that every other JRPG in the past 'didn't do it right' is retarded.
God I fucking hate gamers so much it's unreal.

how did you manage that? I think I just finished everything in the first playthrough aside from missing an odd item here or there I have ~300 pictos points on each character and that's after doing all the nevron sidequests.

I remember playing 9 and it was pretty cool. Not E33 tier but it was pretty nice, the plot certainly wasn't generic by any means. I'd say the only issue is your party being just a bunch of generic created characters without dialogue.

desu, I rarely ever get far in JRPG's, because firstly the repetitive and mindless gameplay is hell, and secondly the basic shonen anime tropes being repeated over and over again bores the hell out of me.
Also, thirdly, the English voice acting for these games tends to be ten levels of cringe.

In their defense, the cute sprite art of SNES era Square, and the pre-rendered backgrounds of Playstation era Square are very appealing, and the music tends to slap.

"JRPG" just means RPGMaker style, at this point.
No one actually thinks Dark Souls is a JRPG. Dark Souls is a Japanese developed hack and slash RPG.

Why can't more JRPGs just be cool shit like Parasite Eve?
Why can't they just pick some genre they haven't really delved into (like Tom Clancy style military fiction), and make the RPG version of that?
This is why people like Yakuza. It's the one JRPG series currently running where there's some kind of unique vision, and you aren't wide eye'd anime kid, with a strong goofy male sidekick, and a harem of girls who consist of "the firey one", "the delicate one", and "the dommy one", and possibly an actual child in there somewhere.

If youโ€™ve played any of the other DQ games with a world map itโ€™s pretty similar. But E33 is more classic FF than it is classic DQ
