You can also now switch to first-person view as you please which is useful when navigating complicated structures and there's a builder's pencil option which lets you create blueprints of structures and save them for later. The echo flute is used to find precious metals or stones hidden in the terrain and the trowel is a more convenient way to replace tile types en masse. New tools include the echo flute and transform-o-trowel. Why not just let me endlessly dash? Where did I store my trusty pesticide again? A couple of other new activities include gliding and dashing but I don't understand why dashing is limited by a meter that depletes as you run. You can also swim in it and build waterfalls. That being said, your villagers will do most of the farming for you because who has the time? Water is also new which allows you to fill your bottomless pot in order to pour water as you see fit.

Farming is new and it's basically a simplistic take on what you'd expect from the average Harvest Moon game. If you played Dragon Quest Builders, you might be wondering what's different here and you'll find that there are both good and bad changes. Speaking of which, I got a chuckle out of seeing that I could collect "night soil" out of the toilet after someone uses it. Points are also earned daily when villagers use the facilities that you build such as dining tables and toilets. Upon completing a quest, you get gratitude points that can be spent on unlocking recipes for items or new islands to explore. You're then given quest after quest to follow with goals such as crafting an item, fighting enemies, building a room, or creating some blueprints. Once you unlock a new island, you're met by a villager who needs your help building their village back to normal after it was destroyed. "build on", I say! Let's take a break and play cards by the pool Oh well, building is more fun than destroying when it comes to video games, at least so. That being said, there's something sinister about him and he keeps hearing strange voices in his head. Then there's Malroth, a long-haired dude with glowing red eyes who you meet at the beginning and helps you on your quest from day one. Every villager and monster you meet tells you how bold you are for building things, almost as if they're under a spell. Other than having a blast terraforming and architecting your very own island, your main goal is to figure out who this guy Hargon is and why he's intent on the destruction of everything. Completing them also unlocks infinite supplies of certain useful items which is very handy. The optional islands contain checklists that are fun to complete as they guide you in finding all of the new items. The other islands' themes aren't anything new and contain lots of the same monsters and items that fans are already familiar with.

You're also introduced to your own greenfield island early on which allows you to take unlocked items and recipes and use them in your own giant creation as you play the main story. The overall structure is looser than the original, giving you a map that you can use to warp to different islands as you wish. Dragon Quest Builders 2 is mostly more of the same but bigger and has you save the towns of 3 islands and loot the resources of many more. It combined the Dragon Quest universe with Minecraft gameplay yet with more structure and managed to hit the perfect balance of creativity and structure. The original Dragon Quest Builders seemed to come out of nowhere. I wish people were that amazed by my recipe books!
