Square Enix will soon be unleashing the interminably titled Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, and ahead of its 4th December release, a substantial free demo is now available on all platforms.
Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition (as I shall be referring to it from here on in, to save my fingers and your eyes) is, of course, a port of the game that released on Switch last year, which was, in turn, an expanded and enhanced version of 2017's Dragon Quest XI - a game that eventually made its way west via PlayStation 4 and PC in 2018.
The original release's tale of a young boy forced out of his idyllic existence to thwart an age-old evil was about as traditional a J-RPG offering as its sounds, albeit entirely charming, and frequently breathtaking its lavish presentation.
