Finally, a remake:
I was a huge fan of this game 15 years ago, and I have been wanting to own it for years. I found it near impossible to find on the NES, and while Nintendo released the first three Dragon Warrior games for Game Boy Color, it seemed we would never get an American re-release for this game. It was my first console RPG, and the first video game I ever loved - and for those reasons, it will always be among my all-time favorites. I love the chapter structure - one of the many elements that, IMO, elevates it... more info
Great remake of a classic:
Title says it all. If you like old-school RPGs then this is the game for you.
If you like turn based rpg's, it's a great game:
I like rpg's that aren't too complicated. Usually by that I mean turn based rpgs. I find them relaxing. I also enjoy a good plot. I'm about 1/3 of a way through this game, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot's fun so far. It's a cool twist to switch between characters every chapter. The accents were weird at first (and took a minute or two to understand since they don't warn you what's going on), but now I really like it. The different dialects make it seem like you really are traveling all around... more info
fun but short:
great game. brings me back to 1992. enix decided to remove all level grinding so now you basically just walk through the game, hitting your cue marks along the way. i'm about 30 hours into the game and will be finishing the main quest soon. regardless, the game looks look beautiful and is fun.
