FAQs

Q: What is the difference between the original (OG) Dragon Quest XI and Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition (DE)?

A: There are quite a lot of differences. Some big, some small. See this page for more details.

Q: How are mods installed on Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition?

A: Almost all mods are distributed using the .pak file format. Paks are a specially-encrypted archive (like a ".zip" or ".rar" file) which contains a directory structure of game assets.

To install these, simply drag-and-drop and drop a pak file into <installation_directory>\DRAGON QUEST XI S\Game\Content\Paks, where <installation_directory> is the location your game is installed. The default will depend on what platform you own the game on.

• For Xbox GamePass / Microsoft Store: See the guide here
