You are the Luminary, the hunted hero who will protect the land from destruction in the latest role-playing from the iconic Dragon Quest series. With a ragtag band of adventurers, you'll engage in well-balanced, turn-based battles and embark on quests across the kingdom of Erdrea. Forge gear, develop party members' skills, and alter their outfits without changing gear in this edition of the game! This version also lets you ride and attack with monsters on the field to earn experience points, as well as change between HD or 16-bit visuals, symphonic or synth music, and English or Japanese audio. Complete the tale with new character-focused stories, and travel to past Dragon Quest worlds!
Dragon Quest XI is coming to the system on December 4, so you'll have to wait a little longer to experience this magical series on the device. The Microsoft Store says it runs at 4K resolution on Xbox One X.
