I managed to get as far as leaving Cobblestone in DQ11, but with the new contest announcement, I was kind of distracted by all the activity here so I couldn't totally focus on it. Still, this is further than I got the first time I tried!
Apparently our hero is the reincarnation of the Luminary, a legendary hero of yore. I wonder if it's any relation to that ghost-like thing we saw in the opening FMV. Also, I wonder if his special powers (like calling down the lightning on that monster) will be limited to cutscenes or if we'll ever get to use them in actual battles because that would be cool. Also, Gemma decided to stay behind because she's not ready to leave the village, I guess. Nobody ever bothered to tell Hero that he was adopted, I guess, or at least not the circumstances that brought him there. And I guess this "Chalky" they keep talking about is the old man who found the baby in the opening FMV, except now he's dead, which is unfortunate.
