Playing: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

I'm over 50 hours in Dragon Quest XI, and still enjoying it. The story and characters are the main draw, but exploring/traversing the world, visiting the varied cities, towns, villages and battling monsters in turn-based combat are all entertaining as well. There's a lot of charm to the game, and its classic JRPG style make it feel like a throwback to when the genre was less complicated and convoluted.

Wow, 50 hours already? You're plowing through. Who is your favorite character?
