after being severely annoyed by Dragon Quest XI

I got both for PS4 so crashes are rare (if I had any at all).
I also played both games last year, so I probably got all patches since the games are a few years old already.

I can't stand racing games (or anything on a timer -- IMO, games are supposed to be fun, not hard work)

Agreed!
Although I can't remember this specific part of DQ XI and I finished it.
Got 100% of the trophies/achievements as well.
The horse races annoyed the hell out of me though Dead | X|

I still have to (not really, but I might get around it on a rainy day):

• Get one of every kind of monster (except maybe the big boss). I'm only short a few. Fortunately, the in-game guide tells you where to find them, and which ones are in the area you're in.

• Find all "treasures", using the thing from the guy with the daughter (Connie?)

• Do quite a bit of crafting with the forge, which means quite a lot of grinding to get materials (using the in-game guide, again).

And I never did find the fluffy white cat (not a quest, but two NPCs in the desert city talk of it being missing, so it has to be somewhere in the game).

It gave me a lot of hours of fun (and one very unexpected "Aw, Jeeze, no!" moment. A damned good game.

DQ8, though, I've played the whole game all the way through (including the dragiwhatzit trials) three times (the last time with no weapons -- I had so much money to spare!)

Nothing left to do at all, in that one, but I never could figure out why all horses in the game faced South, at certain times.

I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

DQ XI was my first Blush | :O

Based on that I'm going to play DQ XII too though Big Grin | :-D

If older versions ever make it to PS4 I might play those too.

Glad for you, but as long as you don't have the contract signed by them in your hands don't get anything as granted.
Not the first time I see a company steping back in the last second and not the first time a final offer was still a bad offer.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Lucky you; I travelled up and down the Pacific coast quite a few times in the early '60s. And I thought Seattle one of the nicest parts of the world. Only slightly eclipsed by Vancouver, BC (the extra attraction of a pretty girl).

So you don't have a president where you live?

The Scandinavian countries and GB still have kings, and a few more, mostly outside the Western countries.

But I must admit: I had to look up the name of your president. And honestly, the name didn't ring that many bells. I hope that you do not have to look it up, though.
