Less fun but more useful were monster mounts I captured after winning battles with riders which I could use to scale sheer walls, leap over obstacles, and fly through the air.
I had a blast on horseback bowling over monsters who bounced of my thundering hooves like rubbery tennis balls. I appreciated the return of the powerful Zoom spell which allowed me to move between locations at my leisure, but I often choose to ride my speedy horse, take in the scenery, fight some monsters, and hunt for crafting resources. This monster was having a great day and then this happened. Weaker groups of enemies fled when they saw me, which made me feel powerful and also kept me from stumbling into time-wasting encounters with monsters well below my level. It was also easy to evade foes I didn’t feel like fighting thanks to a visual indicator and alarm that sounded when I got too close. There are hundreds of the suckers, and while some are simple color variations, their abilities change up enough to keep things tense and surprising. The best parts of Dragon Quest are the moments where I’m battling the wonderful beasties. Every enemy is lavishly depicted in the open world, and the Akira Toriyama-designed monsters spring to life with gorgeously fluid animations on my stock PS4. With the exception of a few stints on the high seas, there are no random encounters in Dragon Quest XI. Boss battles get downright tense, and my entire party was wiped out more than once, though never often enough to feel frustrating.
The vast menagerie of monsters presents unique challenges in every fight, and I found myself eagerly rushing toward new types of enemies just to see what new twists they threw my way.
