I loved DQXI and think it's a fantastic game, but a lot of my enjoyment was to do with not just the fine work of the developers but me changing my gameplay approach after DQVIII.
I liked DQVIII, but almost killed myself with the unbearably tedious grinding of fighting every single enemy in the game. I kind of decided to never play a DQ again after that trauma, it was really monotonous. But DQXI kept getting rave reviews and I eventually caved - however I took an approach where I avoided as many fights as possible, running past enemies I'd already seen. This cut down on the boring battles and also made the boss fights way more tactical and interesting, since I was a bit under-leveled. I had a great time!
