I've been playing dq11 and man do I wish the developers of these games would rethink their approach to music. It's a 100+ hour game, and you spend way more than half of it cycling through about four main short-looping songs (I'm thinking of the overworld theme, the battle theme, the camp theme, and the handful of samey variations of the town theme). The whole routine where you spend about 20 seconds in the overworld, get into a fight for about 20 seconds, go back to the overworld for another 20 seconds until the next fight, &c., with the music starting over for each of them, is just blah. The orchestral mod made the music itself much nicer, but the repetition is mind-numbing, and the tunes haven't changed substantially since the NES days.

Apart from that, the game is very pretty and fun to play. I just had to get that jrpg music rant off my chest.

Dave also has a little backstory from one of the bookcases in Lonalulu.

but i ended up loving not only the cast, but the story and the adventure too.

If someone had told me when the hero first met him that Sylvando would end up being my favorite character and I would get teary-eyed for part of his story arc, I would not have believed them.
