SPOILER WARNING!
Current Game: Dragon Quest XI Definitive Edition (Mostly)
Remember that feeling of cracking open a new PlayStation jewel case in the back of a station wagon, peeling off the security sticker, and taking a deep whiff of that "new game smell"? Yeah, that. In today's episode of The XP Log, Justin dives into the allure of new games—fresh mechanics, fast rewards, and uncharted systems—versus the comfort and routine of long-standing favorites like Dragon Quest XI. With Fantasy Life stealing his attention, he reflects on what draws us to the new while still valuing the familiar. Is the thrill of discovery stronger than the satisfaction of mastery? Let’s talk about it.
