Saying DQXI arc 3 is postgame is like saying the dark world in DQ3 is postgame because beating Baramos was the goal.

Now we see if they can actually make a good Pokémon game or will it just be a stale rehash like the rest

we've argued about this before, but it's a bit different when the story gets satisfactorily resolved and the game even rolls credits, innit? i didn't play most of act 3 because it was clearly pretty uninteresting and the story was just spinning its wheels. it's great if you want to play more DQXI after the credits, but i didn't.

I learned long, long ago that most RPG post-games are just not for me. I tried to get the Gilgamesh hunt in FFXII because, duh, Gilgamesh, but I couldn't even make it that far. There are games I love that I wouldn't touch the postgame for with a twenty foot pole. FFX, for instance. Any Tri-Ace game. Haven't played DQXI so I can't comment but credits roll does not necessarily mean you're in the "postgame"; one of the SaGa Frontier scenarios does it (I'm blanking on which one but I wanna say Red) and then has the whole final dungeon and boss fight after, and I don't think anyone would be pedantic enough to call that the postgame.

That'd be Blue's scenario. The credits roll after the duel with Rouge but the story's just kicking into high gear at that point.

Yeah DQXI is a weird one for me because the end of Act II is a perfectly satisfying ending, and the end of Act III is a different satisfying ending. Really both seem perfectly valid.

Act 2's ending was fine and the premise of Act 3 was so unappealing I quit instantly, which sucks because act 1 and 2 have a whole bunch of unexplained stuff if you don't play it.

the funny thing is that even if you do break them, you just get a dialog choice of if you want the normal final boss or the mega strong version anyway

yeah each one you break makes the boss stronger

Post games rule, more games should add them. Asura's Wrath was like the best one because it had like 4 post games.

I actually liked tri-ace post games because they were generally just more fun combat. Until SO4 and the Wandering Dungeon.

No. World didn't give you a credit roll until High Rank was done, and you defeated the actual final boss.

Rofl, dq11 isn't complete if you don't do act 3. That's not post game that's game. Crazy people are arguing otherwise. Rune Factory 4 also does credits after every arc. Jesus sometimes I think this is the hot take thread.

It confuses people and makes them think they added an extra dozen hours of gameplay on the end of the game after it on accident.

After act 2, I felt the beginning of Act 3 as a pain in my soul that I was amazed a game was able to create. Act 3 is good and it is game.

It's great to make concept stuff when you don't actually have to sorry about, like, making that stuff fun or sustaining it over the course of the game. Or wonder how to fit visual customizations on hundreds of pokemon. So you end up with something that looks really cool and fun, but that's all. Though I really dig the idea of pokeball customization. A little, simple thing that could be fun and would mean stickers and such could be potential treasures to find. Or at least sticking them on your hat/backpack.
