Wohoo, I did it, I finished a game! :) Onto Dragon Quest III? It is sort of my goal, but I also want to play some more modern games. Currently playing Path of Exile 2. But I also really had this fantasy of playing all the dragon quests and they are pretty relaxing and fun.

Unfortunately I can't find an English translation of the original Japanese version, so the original review stands. I was grinding for a bit anyway because well, I love grinding lol. But wouldn't be fair to assess the USA release which came out much later, in the context of 1987.

Definitely better than the first game. A rewarding experience after surpassing the game's difficulty, from traversing the world to the monster fights. Grindy as hell but can be finished if you're adept at playing JRPGs. 7.5/10

Played the Android version after beating Dragon Quest 1 for the second time. This is much improved over DQ1 and was a lot of fun. I just downloaded Dragon Quest III which will be my next playthrough.
I previously played through DQ IV - XI and consider myself a casual DQ and Final Fantasy and JRPG fan.

I can do this (I think) Did some research and feeling brave, lol.
I think I'll continue the tradition of naming my playable character after a bad babysitter cousin I had from when i was young. Imagine he probably played the game, but I have pretty much just took over his save file ever since.

Hoping these battle scenes in VR might be chill

Probably my least favorite entry in the entire series so far, but I still mostly enjoyed the experience.

Well, crap.
After about 8-10hrs of playing, I discovered that the English translation of this game for SNES has a game breaking bug. When you give your sick party member the Leaf of the World Tree, the text where it says he's healed just loops infinitely.
Oh well. Traveling around the ginormous map in my slow-ass ship was getting annoying …

Oh well. Traveling around the ginormous map in my slow-ass ship was getting annoying anyways. On to Dragon Quest 3, I guess. DQ2 wasn't quite fun enough to replay those 8hrs on another platform, given that 90% of that time was grinding EXP.

I'm enjoying playing this game, but I'm noticing that it is considerably easier than the first Dragon Warrior game. Specifically, the heroes don't miss nearly as much as they did in the first game, which made the first game much more difficult.
