Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, PC [Part 4 – Post Game]

Beginning of Post Game:
Visiting Havens Above on Cetacea.

Dragon Quest XI does have substantial Post Game content, for those who want the full experience of the excellent story. Challenges such as The Past Masters in Tickington , The Wheel of Hama at Mount Pang Li, Drustan’s Labyrinth, The Luminary’s Trials, and The Timewyrm are all battles for the DQ11 experts. They’re all very challenging to beat, and they’re a serious visual treat. But they’re worth grinding for to get to! 🙂

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, PC [Part 3 – Third Act]

Beginning of the Third Act:
Remembrance service in Arboria, and The Tower of Lost Time.

A gigantic number of people worked on Dragon Quest XI, and if you play it enough you’ll see where all the effort went – into creating arguably the best JRPG of all-time.

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age is the eleventh – and reportedly final – game in the long-running Dragon Quest series, from Square Enix. With the passing of character designer Akira Toriyama in March 2024, and composer Koichi Sugiyama in September 2021, this will now likely to be the case. But what a stunning game to end on, because Dragon Quest XI is one of the best, most vibrant, and most rich JRPGs I’ve ever played…

Call of Duty 2, PC

Infinity Ward and Activision‘s sequel to Call of DutyCall of Duty 2 – was where I sat up and really started to take notice of the series. That was because the game opens with you playing a soldier from the Russian perspective, rather than American, which I thought was a bold decision. Also: in this game you can actually choose which of the three campaigns to play from the main menu (although you do have to unlock them), which wasn’t the case in Call of Duty or United Offensive.
