Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition (2019)

The story-so-far summary on loading is a proper welcome back to a long adventure. Party conversations help reconnect the immediate destination to the people travelling with you, and turn-based battles leave time to reread spells and equipment. Choose the S Definitive Edition identified here. A late-game party still deserves a quick equipment and skill check, but you can recover the narrative thread without restarting the first village yet again.
