Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

I love JRPGs and considered DQVIII one of the best games I'd ever played when it came out. However, this game is just too easy, too predictable and bland even by JRPG trope standards. I got about 10 hours in but I can't find anything in it which is compelling enough to make me think it might be worthwhile spending more time on it. I have recently played FFXV and although it's far from perfect, I thought it was on balance a really interesting update to the FF formula. By comparison, DQXI is much too dated.
