Which one is funnier (more comedy) Dragon Quest VIII or XI?

[Turbo Laser Lynx]

Hi guys, I ran into Dragon Quest VIII (PS2/3DS) and XI (Switch etc.) reviews on youtube, and I really love what I've seen of the voice acting. It seems really over the top and funny. I heard that the stories / games are funny overall too. I'm looking to get one of these games, but they are quite expensive. Which one would you say is more funny / has better and more comedy?

Some example of the voice acting that I found:

Any help appreciated.

Since when is 11S expensive?  It's just the 3DS older one is because Nintendo, 3DS, and scummy scalpers.  It like 7 wasn't some limited run but quite blown out there by Nintendo who published them.

If you're looking on the Switch, DQ11S is going to be the way to go since I don't believe DQVIII is on the Switch (though it's on the 3DS).   Between the two titles, I enjoyed the dialogue in 11 more.

DQXI is still 59,99€ on the switch shop here at least (that's a lot of money, at least for me, even though I have a dayjob). ? Yeah DQVIII is almost as expensive for the 3DS. But yeah, I didn't realize XI is only around 25€ on PS4 (which I don't have).

Yeah I guess the only way to really find out is to play both games and see for myself what I think. I ended up ordering VIII for 3DS to begin with. I found there was a Dragon Quest group where I got a few answers too, so I'll link it here in case someone else would happen to be wondering about the same thing:

I guess if you're buying digital it's that bad on Switch, but a physical copy can be had for a good bit less, and there are rolling sales on PC if your computer is good enough to go that way through Steam.
