it's so ear grating and loud and busy and it's just gross and disgusting

overworld music is supposed to be calming and soothing, not anxiety inducing.

The music copied from DQ8 is great. The new stuff (first overworld theme included) ismeh.

I really wanted to play that game but I got like 4 hours in before I realized you cannot edit the difficulty after starting the game and the game was just too easy for me to not get bored.

It's atrocious and easily the worst part of the game. Thank god you can switch to the DQ8 theme in the newer version to save your ears from bleeding. The soundtrack overall is whatever but at least the rest of the game has been fun (just made it to post game)

This game tried so hard to be like DQ8. It succeeded in many ways but fell short nonetheless. Its riddle filled side quests in the 2D and regular game are usually just fetch quests with some benign story involved. And yes, the overworld theme is underwhelming.

Yeah, the base game needs to be harder. That said, 4 hours doesnt seem terribly long?

For a JRPG it is, means sitting through convos hitting the skip button, going through the same early game stuff and I don't remember if you could skip scenes.

Pro tip: use your points to boost the greatsword and luminary skill tree. There are some really good multi enemy attacks in there.

You can turn on auto-battle... if auto-battle wins where you lose, then maybe you should try easier games... like colouring books.

Do you gave a Super Strong Monsters turned on? If so, then yes: it can be a challenge at times (notably the beginning and the other times when you just have a couple characters).

i can say the same for the zelda overworld theme. It definitely sound good at first but goddamn the problem is the song is short so it gets played again and again and it gets really repetitive. its supposed to be epic but it gets annoying after the 5th replay of the song.

oh, so it was only hard 'cuz you never learned any skills or abilities.

Seems legit.

side note, to the original post - yes, the first overworld theme is annoyingly bombastic but it does settle down later

The JRPG nerds in this group Im in swear by that game and kept calling me a hater when I said that the OST could maybe use a few more songs to make the experience less monotonous.

The DQ11 soundtrack is abysmal. They really need to get that guy off the soundtracks. I don't know if he's too old now or what. I know the Japanese love to keep people in roles out of tradition but he's harming the series.

It's short and repetitive but the very first Dragon Quest / Warrior has an excellent tune.

DQ3 and 8 are probably tied for the best though.

DQ11 has its moments but its pacing is really bad. Feels like a complete slog and I've been a fan of these games since the 80s.

Are you doing the individual character segments? I liked the concept but I felt like parts of those dragged a bit. The game picks up when everyone joins together again.
