It is a little grating however that the voices seem to have been plucked from a hat of different accents and dialects as some sort of misguided way to highlight that each character comes from a different background. While the main protagonist is mute throughout the game, the companions you meet along the way have no problems speaking their mind, thanks in part to the English voice acting that has been added to the western release. This is a big game spanning anywhere between 70 to 100 hours, and there’s a meaty amount of story to get stuck in that stretches all across the world of Erdrea. Eventually the game’s narrative begins to take center stage. It’s not particularly ground-breaking storytelling, but it serves its purpose of getting you up and out into the great wide world. You play as a child chosen by fate to save the world from darkness.

When I first started Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect.
