Title says it all. If you like old-school RPGs then this is the game for you.
I'm about 1/3 of a way through this game, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it.The plot's fun so far. (maybe the fact that I've done some world traveling and dealt with broken english in real life helps)The graphics in town and in battle are very good. The enemies don't have many attacks but this is a remake of a pretty old game so I'm sure that's the way it was in the original.The music's very good, and I enjoy it through headphones more. :)I was disappointed that the enemies in the battles are so small, but really they're very well animated. Usually by that I mean turn based rpgs. In most 3-d places, you can spin the screen with L or R which really lets you find your way in the dungeons. Again, I play these games to relax so I'm not looking for some challenge but not a huge challenge.
I like the 2-d characters on 3-d towns and dungeons. Sometimes I just turn the music off, but I wear my headphones for this game.The challenge hasn't been very high, but I have had to level up a little bit so far (run around and fight a bit to get stronger before going on). Even though I don't think the map graphics are anything to praise, I do like that fact that you can't rotate the world map since I'd get lost all the time. I find them relaxing.
I like rpg's that aren't too complicated. It's a cool twist to switch between characters every chapter. So basically, if you like rpg games, or are looking for a good starting point in the rpg world, I don't think you can do much better than this. I also enjoy a good plot. The different dialects make it seem like you really are traveling all around a world rather than one country that they call a world. Perfect for me.I never played dragon warrior 4 on the nes, but I think this is a great game (back in the nes era the dragon quest American games were called dragon warrior due to a trademark on dragon quest). It also lets you find tons of doors and stuff that you wouldn't find otherwise.
The map graphics are just ok. 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. I thought that final fantasy 3 had pretty good ds graphics, but now I'm going to miss any game that doesn't use both screens for towns/dungeons. I heard that most of the name changes were to bring it closer to the original japanese (like really the the nes version wasn't a great translation).
i'm about 30 hours into the game and will be finishing the main quest soon. brings me back to 1992. great game. enix decided to remove all level grinding so now you basically just walk through the game, hitting your cue marks along the way. regardless, the game looks look beautiful and is fun.
I love the old style RPG's and find there are never enough of them. This one started a little different than any I've played before and I found myself lost but that just is a plus for puzzle fans too who like trying to figure out what to do next. Anyway, you start as you who is to save the world but suddenly you find yourself playing as another character and I wasn't sure what was going on then another chapter starts and then you are another character again but I'm glad I stuck with it because by chapter 5 you are you again and hunting these people you've played as previously to join your party and it's a huge world map and sizable game and I've played 40 hours so far and don't think I'm near finished yet but I'm loving it.
Why do these wonderful games have to be for handhelds only. For the love of all that is good, why can't companies make good ports of the best classic fantasy RPG's. The only reason I gave this game two stars instead of one is the ability to control your party manually in chapter 5. The game was originally a 2D game. Dragon Warrior IV for the DS sucks. Why in the world does it have to be ruined by being converted to 3D. I definetely enjoy the NES version a lot better.
