Is it necessary to master all of these monster classes in order to complete the game?
Main game, hell no. Post-game will require at least a few I'm sure.

dq 7 was the last of the true blue DQs and it is truly the series swan song. people keep saying the game is epic but you won't understand until you play it: it easily contains three to four times the amount of text planescape: torment contains

I've beaten DQ1 (GBC), DQ4 (DS), DQ5 (DS), and DQ8 (PS2), and I loved all of them. But I'm currently playing through DQ9 on DS, and having a hard time enjoying it. The game just feels casualized and a bit vapid. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. DQ9 was very highly reviewed and everyone I know who played through it seem to love it. But I just find I have to force myself to play the game, and after 30 minutes I'm usually starting to fall asleep. Oh well, it didn't stop me from buying DQ7 for 3DS recently.
Didn't like DQ9 for the same reasons as you. AFAIK the way to enjoy that game is to play it with friends and run the end game dungeons (called grottos) for loot. Well, I didn't have any friends with a handheld or who has even heard of Dragon Quest, so I was kinda fucked.

Very good point. I know a few folks who absolutely adore DQ9. The reasons they all cite are the same; the endgame (or post-game even). The grottos, hunting super hard bosses, and grinding for items to alchemize into rare gear. While none of that sounds particularly exciting to me, they still conveniently neglect to mention the part where you have to sludge through ~20 hours of bland tedium to reach that stuff. It's worth noting the players I'm talking about did not have significant experience with DQ before DQ9, and I think that explains everything. I don't think Dragon Quest XI will carry this design thankfully.But even then you have to make it to the endgame without burning out first, which is a task in and of itself.
Is anyone else playing DQ Builders?

My bad. I was sure it was PC and PS4. I edited that out.Was pc port of Heroes 2 confirmed or we are just going with logic that Temco will port any musou to pc?
