This is good to hear. This is my first DQ game and I love it. Still haven't beaten it though.

cool I'm waiting on the switch release. I loved old dq games but skipped everything on ds and 3ds because I didn't like gaming on them

Congrats!
The people in Resetera trying to downplay this because it "only" sold about the same or slightly more than DQ9 can't see that DQ11 released under way more disadvantageous circumstances than DQ9, e.g. it had zero marketing (while DQ9 had marketing from Nintendo) and it came out in a super stacked month close to one of the biggest releases of the year. Also, DS had a way higher install base when DQ9 released than what PS4 has right now.
