Unlimited Sand! I know you're being sarcastic, but this concept was actually original to DQ1. It may be the definition of every RPG nowadays, but they are really all just elaborate DQ clones at heart. No, I am not joking. Look it up!

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
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.
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.
It was such a happy surprise that it was on his best of 2021. Hoping that he was able to get more people to try out and enjoy this game and the rest of the series :)
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)
@@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?
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
@@newpancakeman It killed my team mates, and I even held it the right way! Unfortunately for them, it was a realistic military shooter so the backblast was set to deep-fry ;)
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.
Honestly the fact that he had so much positive things to say at all about the most traditional of turn based JRPGs is a testament to how good this game is.
@@realJaneDoe but... instead of killing punching bags for 3 hours, you can spend 20 minutes killing metal slime monsters, so that issue is non-existant in dragon quest games. oh, but he made fun of metal slime monsters giving so much exp, as if they weren't the literal solution to his biggest problem with this game. I love dunkey, but he is a fucking idiot sometimes.
@@Fralexion yeah when he was playing that compilation of repititive battle music in RPGs, I didn't really find the octopath one that tedious to listen to
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"
3:52 Holy shit. So I tend to listen to UA-cam videos instead of watching them. I had no idea how ingrained FFVII and Chrono Trigger were embedded in my mind. Instantly knew the music.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age S - Definitive Edition makes you FEEL like you could have beaten the game in the time it takes to say the title.
i get the enemy part, suddenly fighting an enemy named proffesaurus made my week. but 25 hour game streatched to 40 hours? i think you missed 30 hours of content by not hitting continue at the right time
This is actually a pretty fair take despite me giving it a much higher review personally. The grind is excessive after a certain point and is unfortunately necessary to get the true ending of the game, which is a bummer but it's also very Dragon Quest and Square Enix in general. I knew that going into it and I enjoyed it quite a bit anyway. One thing I will say that DQ11 does well is that it has an amazing time travel arc. Probably one of the most thoughtful and interesting ways I've seen time travel done in a story. It gave me genuine pause where I had to get up, pace around my room and think about the pros and cons. The characters are great and for a Dragon Quest game that is usually pretty formulaic, I felt this one broke out of that a bit in the story. It's definitely worth exploring and it was a very memorable experience.
*DRAGON QUEST 11 SPOILERS* Me at the start of the game: "man i hate this hendrick dude, why can't he leave us alone?" Me before the third act: "what do you mean i have to go back in time and leave behind my best friend hendrick?"
I play Dragon Quest to relax. I like that there’s a lot of it because I like to relax frequently and for long periods of time. Honestly I play these games in two hour sessions, usually like a bed time story, and it works flawlessly in this capacity. I hope I’m never so numb that this series doesn’t leave a smile on my face. It’s just so sweet and earnest and made with love.
@@breaking963 I played trough the game and only farmed twice and it was because I wanted to get some abilities for my characters, totally optional! I´ve heard of A LOT of people that got trough the game without grinding, and I am sure I could´ve done it as well! Just do some side quests and you will be in a considerable advantage
Long time Dragon Quest fan here, majority of my entertainment time went to this series and this was a fucking perfect review. Was super excited when I saw dunkey do this!!!
@Dcvbkyrsscbgdsxcgf not necessarily. They are a form of escapist entertainment, like Books or TV. But it's more interactive which depending on the Devs can be made to be a grind and a waste of time like fighting weak enemies that pose no challenge over and over again until you get enough exp to progress or they can make then difficult like dark souls and have you test your reflex skills each time you face an enemy which is more engaging. But it doesn't have to be like this as there are plenty of puzzle games or story based games that focus on deliver a very compact experience that doesn't waste a lot of your time and you end up engaging your mind in the same way as you would when ready something awesome or solving a math problem. Point is there are time wasting games as there are ones that respect your time, and this is straight up a time waster.
@@GuyLogen you forgot to mention the most Important thing. Personal preferences, that is. There are ppl Like me and lots of other who Like old jrpgs with some grinding. It might be a time waster for you but certainly Not for everybody. Respect that
@@brotmitwurst4 I mean I like RPGs and even I know most of them are time wasters only other games to top them are mmorpgs. It's not that I don't respect the people that like the grind, I was just pointing out to the guy that said all video games are meant to be time wasters. When there are games that only focus on telling a compact story or puzzle games and etc.
Come on Dunkey, metal enemies giving out lots of XP has always been a series thing. If you’re farming regular mobs you’re doing it wrong. Funny video though!
If this is an RPG thing, then you must be pretty new here. Dunkey doesn’t play turn based RPGs, so he’s not going to know a ton of their norms. If this is DQ thing, then the same thing especially applies, seeming as Dunkey has never really told anyone about DQ.

@@VaffReverie how is dq11 super old?
@@tuesdaycrab4210 game's "name"
It's a Dunkview. These tend to be more serious and don't have joke titles usually.
"Everybody in the entire world hates RPGs"
Oof, that demographic just got shanked, me included
FF is overrated
He loved Persona 5 and 4

@@realJaneDoe but... instead of killing punching bags for 3 hours, you can spend 20 minutes killing metal slime monsters, so that issue is non-existant in dragon quest games. oh, but he made fun of metal slime monsters giving so much exp, as if they weren't the literal solution to his biggest problem with this game. I love dunkey, but he is a fucking idiot sometimes.
He's mostly just taking the piss. Dunkey hates RPGs tho.
I love how the Octopath battle music intro looped sounds similar to the actual track
Yeah, it never occurred to me until now how good a job they did of not making that tune too annoying.
@@Fralexion yeah when he was playing that compilation of repititive battle music in RPGs, I didn't really find the octopath one that tedious to listen to
Damn now off to listen to Octopath's soundtrack again
This game really makes you FEEL like Sylvando
Wait, a 3 from Dunkey?!
He woke up in a good mood...
I connect with Sylvando on a spiritual level. He wants to make the world smile, and he does it well.
Once a wise man said: 'It's an RPG boys, story doesn't matter" where is that man now
@KiddPhilly 688 BURN
Which idiot said that?
"It's a fighting game, story doesn't matter"...
Literally insert any other genre and that quote makes no sense.
@@Blittsplitt5 _"It's a story-driven game, story doesn't matter"_
@Filipe Baleijo When did I say that _"story-driven"_ is a genre? It's clearly not.
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"
Dunkey: “And what sets Dragon Quest apart is...”
*shows the blue guy*
Me: Hint, hint, I see you
I didnt find dragon quest 11 grindy at all, I beat mordegon on my first try
Cool

3:52 Holy shit. So I tend to listen to UA-cam videos instead of watching them. I had no idea how ingrained FFVII and Chrono Trigger were embedded in my mind. Instantly knew the music.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age S - Definitive Edition makes you FEEL like you could have beaten the game in the time it takes to say the title.
Waited a whole year for this
sackchief Hehe, Hey bro, subbed to your channel a few days ago funny seeing you here, you're an up-and-comer for sure keep it going!
Pink Droid Thanks, I appreciate hearing that.
sackchief NP man!
i get the enemy part, suddenly fighting an enemy named proffesaurus made my week. but 25 hour game streatched to 40 hours? i think you missed 30 hours of content by not hitting continue at the right time
Honestly, he's right. DQ games have always done that.
Amazing how you were able to avoid those enemies in the overworld even with a blindfold on.
It was impossible for Dunkey to not love Platypunk
This is actually a pretty fair take despite me giving it a much higher review personally. The grind is excessive after a certain point and is unfortunately necessary to get the true ending of the game, which is a bummer but it's also very Dragon Quest and Square Enix in general. I knew that going into it and I enjoyed it quite a bit anyway.
One thing I will say that DQ11 does well is that it has an amazing time travel arc. Probably one of the most thoughtful and interesting ways I've seen time travel done in a story. It gave me genuine pause where I had to get up, pace around my room and think about the pros and cons. The characters are great and for a Dragon Quest game that is usually pretty formulaic, I felt this one broke out of that a bit in the story. It's definitely worth exploring and it was a very memorable experience.
grinding is just part of RPGs. it's also an opportunity to check out new music :D
*DRAGON QUEST 11 SPOILERS*
Me at the start of the game: "man i hate this hendrick dude, why can't he leave us alone?"
Me before the third act: "what do you mean i have to go back in time and leave behind my best friend hendrick?"
I play Dragon Quest to relax. I like that there’s a lot of it because I like to relax frequently and for long periods of time. Honestly I play these games in two hour sessions, usually like a bed time story, and it works flawlessly in this capacity. I hope I’m never so numb that this series doesn’t leave a smile on my face. It’s just so sweet and earnest and made with love.
@@spacekoalalove can't disagree with you there. Although there are a few RPGs that respect your time better than a Dragon Quest game.
Thane it has a little something for everyone
The new bookworm adventures update looks a little strange
As soon as you mentioned my darling Sylvando I liked.
poor dunkey just doesnt know how to farm metal slimes.
Exactly, hours of grinding for him is actually minutes for me.
You shouldn't need to farm in the first place, that's the whole point.
@@breaking963 I played trough the game and only farmed twice and it was because I wanted to get some abilities for my characters, totally optional!
I´ve heard of A LOT of people that got trough the game without grinding, and I am sure I could´ve done it as well! Just do some side quests and you will be in a considerable advantage
@@breaking963 Great! Because you don't need to grind in DQ XI at all.
@demon1c guy Indeed, it is a fun alternative. But the grinding is also kind of fun.
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.
Me before the video: “Dreygen quest”
Dunkey: Dreygen Quest
Ahhh, never disapoints 😌
The beginning aged well after the Scott video
“RPGs were never made to be enjoyed, but then for some reason people started wanting to play them” -God
Also congratulations, as far as I can tell you’re the first one to make a not an rpg guy on a dunkey video about rpgs, 5000 gamer points!
Long time Dragon Quest fan here, majority of my entertainment time went to this series and this was a fucking perfect review. Was super excited when I saw dunkey do this!!!
@Dcvbkyrsscbgdsxcgf jobs are a waste of time. revoke all material possessions and seek enlightenment.
@Dcvbkyrsscbgdsxcgf not necessarily. They are a form of escapist entertainment, like Books or TV. But it's more interactive which depending on the Devs can be made to be a grind and a waste of time like fighting weak enemies that pose no challenge over and over again until you get enough exp to progress or they can make then difficult like dark souls and have you test your reflex skills each time you face an enemy which is more engaging.
But it doesn't have to be like this as there are plenty of puzzle games or story based games that focus on deliver a very compact experience that doesn't waste a lot of your time and you end up engaging your mind in the same way as you would when ready something awesome or solving a math problem.
Point is there are time wasting games as there are ones that respect your time, and this is straight up a time waster.
@@GuyLogen you forgot to mention the most Important thing. Personal preferences, that is. There are ppl Like me and lots of other who Like old jrpgs with some grinding. It might be a time waster for you but certainly Not for everybody. Respect that
@@brotmitwurst4 I mean I like RPGs and even I know most of them are time wasters only other games to top them are mmorpgs.
It's not that I don't respect the people that like the grind, I was just pointing out to the guy that said all video games are meant to be time wasters. When there are games that only focus on telling a compact story or puzzle games and etc.
@Shaman X I meant mmorpgs top normal RPGs in the grinding segment. As in they are kings of grinding. You just read my comment wrong.
This game review sold it for me. Was definitely worth it. Thank you Denby
"Gayzilla" this should be a word in the dictionary
The way he says platypunk gives me life
The fact that dunkey gave this jrpg a pass is a testament to it's quality.
Who’s gonna tell him he isn’t actually playing the definitive edition?
“With a naked muscle dude” - Dunkey 2099
Does everyone forget about dragon quest hero rocket slime on the DS where you just played as a slime.
Actually a staple of my childhood
An underappreciated masterpiece. Brings back so many memories
Dude the giant battles were great in that game
Everytime dunky said Platypunk, I could feel him spiting on me

Sorry you have to wait for MovieDunkey to be a thing
Dunkey explaining Metal Slimes really is just the entirety of Dragon Quest explained in about 5 seconds
Every Dragon Quest is the best Dragon Quest.
Regardless of your current timeline.
Forever...
@@unrayman6030 ok, 5 is truly the best one.
Come on Dunkey, metal enemies giving out lots of XP has always been a series thing. If you’re farming regular mobs you’re doing it wrong. Funny video though!
enit its like dragon quests version of shiny pokemon.. but they show up alot more frequently
@@oragamijetpack No, it's just the dragon quest version of a rare enemy. Pokemon shinies don't even give extra exp or special drops
@@oragamijetpack nah. Their more like chancey or audino. Pokemon with high hp tend to give a lot of exp.
@@zackmhuntr25 but this guy have like 4 hp and run away most of the time
If this is an RPG thing, then you must be pretty new here. Dunkey doesn’t play turn based RPGs, so he’s not going to know a ton of their norms. If this is DQ thing, then the same thing especially applies, seeming as Dunkey has never really told anyone about DQ.
Dunkey: “this game has the gayest character of all time”
Me: “sign me up!”
DQXI is one of my favorite games of all time.
It's a JRPG, so he doesn't like it. The end.
Well pretty much, he really must have liked the story of the game to give it a 3 /5.
Except he does like it.
pollero90 did you guys watch the same video i watched?? 😂
It's a JRPG.
It's objectively bad.
The end. ;)
I mean, did you even watch the video
The only time I grinded was in the post game - you should be able to to do main game without any grinding
Anyone who was raised in an italian-american household will likely laugh at the name "funghoul"

also never forget ttt fun ghoul
