I'm only about 7 hours into this game, but my understanding is that there are now fan servers that you can connect to so that you can still get access to the post-game content even though the official servers are dead. This might not have been applicable when this review was written though.

No, never got the chance to do any of the multi-player stuff or anything that involved linking or anything like that. Wish I'd known about the fan servers when I was playing it, but alas, I can't imagine me going back to this one. It's a solid game, but probably in my bottom half of Dragon Quest games as far as the overall package. Definitely below 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 11 for sure. I will give it credit for one thing, though: Having the character Jack o' AllTrades turn into Master of Nu'un is the single best pun this series has ever come up with.

I'm much further in the game now (around the final boss). I did take the opportunity to unlock the "DLC" with a fan server. You're honestly not missing much. There's more quests, but they're not dissimilar to what comes with the base game anyway. Being able to run into characters like Torneko and Trodain at the tavern was OK, but since you just unlock all of them at once it's not as exciting as being drip-fed new characters. Also not having the Princess of Moonbrooke be a dog is such a lost opportunity.

I still need to get back to and finish 7 on 3DS, and the 3DS version of 8, before finally getting to 9 on DS and 11 on PS4 or Switch. And Dragon Quest is even my favorite JRPG franchise!
