@zander_dale 4 is a good start. the game itself isn't difficult. the story is decent. its one of my favorite FF's. pretty balanced RPG id say. and the thing about final fantasies they don't have to be played in order.

Maybe a dumb question but is it all on one cart/disk? so the eshop would be just one download? or can buy separately?

I have been a fan of terada's work since I first seen his stuff for dragon warrior in Nintendo power when I was a kid. really amazing artist. his "sketch" artbook is pretty great.

I'm a ride or die dragon quest fan from the beginning. I'd say the reviews are accurate from what I played so far. I bet a lot of the casual gamers might push it aside because of the graphics, but people should give it a chance even if they haven't played a dragon quest game before.

@WanzerAce oh that's good they have skills in this. I don't remember them being in the other releases of 1. its been awhile though haha

To me its just odd they wouldn't release any of the recent remasters on the switch.it would be a slam dunk. but then yet, they release a mediocre apple arcade mobile game instead. 😒

@KingMike are you the king mike of translation fame? 😉

@AshFoxX
The first time I played Super Mario bros was the Vs. version in a bus station in 86. It was also the first time I played castlevania in a vs cab. I even played goonies (famicom) in a cab in chuck e cheese in the 80s. I think the nes version of super mario came out less than a year before that. but not by many months. so its a generational thing why these guys played it first in arcades.

Yeah I kind of agree with this review from what I have played so far. at least the first part of it anyway. haha I played the original back in the day and have the ds version as well. I think it does deserve more of a higher score id say a 7-7.5 out of 10. if they had the battle scenes in the perspective and detail modelling of say the area, the battles would drag less maybe? feel more dynamic? I feel even on the past games, there was that discrepancy of a unit having 1 HP for example on the body but your unit will shoot the legs instead haha. i feel like that dice roll of combat damage has always been in the game. until they added skills like in FM3, where you can target the body and limbs etc. I do like the sped up battles. I would still recommend this game to anyone that hasn't played the original or DS version.

I wonder if he has a hudson soft famicom joystick.😉

That's too bad on my end. didn't know they had unique moves. i defeated a few because I didn't "need" them.

They should include the Mii suits as part of the DLC.

I had the full set of these at one point. they are great. i'd like to see if he can manage to find the kid Icarus and Metroid ones complete. kind of hard to find a complete set on yahoo auctions. there is board games for Zelda etc. as well released in japan. my grails are the nightmare of druaga and dragon buster board games.

this looks great actually, reminds me of choose your own adventure books from back in the day. I feel this is how they should have made those fighting fantasy games maybe.

Mark III / Master System for sure. I'm surprised they haven't already honestly. then probably a saturn mini. way better library than the Dreamcast.

@nukatha The Yen Has never been that low. haha you must not use proxies etc.

@Serpenterror I guess you have some cognitive disparity there, and can’t read.
I said it was a remaster of a remaster. I have the original and the psp remastered game. I fully know well what it is. And it’s a great game and this release is a remaster of a remaster
. Hope that gave you some deeper clarity.
Even the artbook that is being released with this was already previously released.it just now has some English text slapped over it. So yes I would be buying this again. But it would be nice if they would make a new game in the series, instead of remaking remakes.remakes such as the Darius game that was recently released for the switch, that was a vita game now on the switch.
Maybe you shouldn’t get triggered over small things and use that energy on something that truly matters in your immediate life. Haha bigger things to worry about in the world right now haha

I'm looking forward to this remaster of a remaster. its such a great game. Even though I am kind getting sick of all these remasters psp/psp vita games.

@hefferj 100% haha

@Slain yeah exactly haha. I cant see this being released when 1&2 would have been a better release.

I played a bit of it and I found it to be kind of a weak release by them. and I have been a dragon quest fan since the beginning.
If they haven't released the dragon quest 1&2 Heroes game, they aren't going to release this out west.

I'm Canadian living in America in New England, and sure there is gang violence and general crime, but I haven't seen too much negative stuff that didn't happen in Canada. Actually I have seen less out in the open stuff. mostly drug related stuff/ seeing a guy shoot up in front of me stuff like that. comparing Canada to the USA is apples and oranges. the USA has over 300 million people compared to 36 million in Canada. its a country that is constantly under a microscope. certain things do need to change here definitely. but I think when you have international recognition such as this gaming store, unfortunately you are a target. and from what is happening with them lately people know there is $$ in this place. they should probably move to better location like in a mall with security. they will pay more money for the location etc. but at least they are protected somewhat. I think the Japanese saying is the nail that sticks out the farthest gets hammered first? something like that anyway haha

@wicktus For me, I enjoyed it. there are multiple story branches with multiple endings. 9/10 for the Psp remake. maybe I'm biased. 😉

@everynowandben yeah art is subjective.

great article. i use it for a inspiration board. which is what that person also said during the interview. its great for that. you can use prompts to say "in the style of Francis bacon" etc. a lot of the times its about find the best seed. its hit or miss. 90% of the images I make though those apps are trash. and yeah they cant draw hands. lmao.
It will never defeat human touch. so its nothing to worry about in my opinion. and that winning photo, it usually does art in that style. it always has that look to it.

@Duncanballs lol yeah me too haha or losing it.

@Ryu_Niiyama I agree, well said.

@Toads-Friend lol yeah its weird.

"trying to find the voice through the internal journey of the character"
imagine trying to intellectualize the character toad?
its like he has become one of his sketch characters haha

@TenEighty yeah the bowling is a vibe. haha

@RandomNerds I think if you are banned to play online, it would stop people from getting points for items. but then you could probably still cheat and max out the points to unlock everything? so either way, I don't think it would affect other players.

@Azuris ah that's too bad I thought it would probably work. but i think I would only use something like this on my deck, only to save space and if it using something like the analogue pocket. openfpga etc.

@CharlieGirl then it might be worth it? haha I bet it would work.
I recent got my deck but haven't had time to set it up yet. looks like a lot of the other comments here are still hung up on that old way of thinking about roms.

@Ryu_Niiyama yeah I feel its niche kind of like sneakers or anything collectable.

@johnvboy thanks i thought you were. haha but like I said you enjoy your 5,500k watch and that's great. I'm glad you can have that ability to buy what you enjoy. but also even if I had your dime, I wouldn't just based on attracting unwanted attention, if you catch my drift. haha we are at a point that the disparity between people is growing by the day. and that creates desperation. just be safe out there.

@Duncanballs I understand that.im probably around the same age as you. but if someone can justify spending 25k on a watch go for it. I'm saying I wouldn't. even thought that's the one that I would buy lol out of the two. an example, even if I was a multi millionaire, I wouldn't buy a house I cant upkeep myself etc. but I would probably buy up land instead.

@johnvboy thanks for your book reply. who said I didn't like nice things? I said in another comment of course I like the most expensive one. because usually I like the most expensive things, but could never justify the worth for the tag. which is what most of the comments already said. "nice watch too expensive for a what it is" if you personally justify that. by all means, buy it. 😉

@Divide_and_Wander no they are self contained stories. its not a continuation in story. some characters are reoccurring, but only for the demon fusing etc. so NPCs. one of my favs was innocent sin. (persona 2)

@Shambo I understand your view points and agree. some people are just vapid and empty vessels attaching themselves to stuff. but once that's gone, what do they become? its best to be the human you want to be, and to stop living through other peoples eyes. meaning who cares what others think of us and what we choose to do. so from what I gathered you are doing things to help animals etc. and I respect that.

of course I like the most expensive one. haha but I wouldn't spend that kind of money for a watch. watches are for people that just want some ice on their wrist. nothing more. kind of becoming obsolete with smart watches, cell phones etc.

the napoleon game was released on the famicom. so its not that big of a deal if its just a English port. I actually have a flyer for the Japanese release, because I think the artwork is comical. haha
its not like these games are like a bio force ape cart release or Dota Kun. and I mean who actually cares about a power glove game other than to be completist? haha

more plastic trash for the bottom of the sea. haha

Mario is an animal poacher.

@Olmectron Yeah exactly. should be a common addition by now on all switch 3rd party controllers. especially by a company like Hori.

@gcunit lol I feel the same way, but hopefully the game play is great anyway.

I'm stoked for this. anything DQ I'm game for. just glad its getting a western release.

Never heard of this guy. but if he's for more quality and less shovelware etc. I'm for it.

Atari is like the "misfits" of the video game world. everyone wears their shirts, but nobody actually plays them etc. I might pick this up after review for nostalgia. but honestly I feel this IP is played out.

I was hoping this would get a port from apple arcade. its actually the reason I used my free subscription haha.
I noticed the loading for me anyway is long. sometimes after a course completion the screen stays black for a bit maybe 5 seconds or so sometimes. made me think my switch froze at one point. but the courses are great, the character design is ok. Maybe I didn't see this but I wish I could remap the controls. so I usually go for touch controls.
