What is it?

Dragon Quest XI is the latest entry in a long running turn based JRPG franchise called Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest is a very popular series in Japan that help pioneered the genre. It's not as popular world wide but it's gaining traction. You may be familiar with Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for example. If you recognize the art style, that is expected because it's none other than Akira Toriyama known for his work on Dragon Ball.

What's the story?

A young man, about to participate in his villages coming of age ceremony, heads off to the top of the local lookout point alongside his childhood friend. After a series of unexpected events, this intrepid adventurer learns he is the reincarnation of a legendary hero from a forgotten age.

The young hero sets forth into an unknown world on a journey to unravel the mystery of his pastbut the welcome he receives is far from warm.

Upon revealing his identity to the King, the hero is branded as The Darkspawn and hunted by a relentless army.

Fleeing from his pursuers, the hero assembles a band of endearing adventurers who believe he is actually the Luminary reborn. He and his newfound companions embark on a quest that will take them across continents and over vast oceans as they learn of an ominous threat facing the world.

Why kind of new features come with the Switch version?
