This game makes me feel like im worth something #TooReal4Backloggia
Really good game and plot: if you are new to turn based combat this might be difficult at first but once you learn how to counter bosses (Magic Mirror that reflect spells back on spellcasters for example), the game is (mostly) a cake walk. Had to deduct half a star as I would prefer that your companions were actual characters instead of mute characters that you create yourself. But again, preference. I highly recommend it otherwise!
Le Mal est-il un rendez-vous manqué avec le Bien ?
maybe one of the weakest dragon quest games to me and one of only two of the games in the series i even dislike at all. while dragon quest 3 makes up for its lack of defined party with an almost unparalleled sense of adventure and dragon quest 10 makes up for it with the greatest extended cast in the series, dragon quest 9 just doesn't do anything to make up for it at all and it's really disappointing. the game simultaneously has no defined party and also features one of the more unremarkable stories this series has other than corvus, and while i imagine the gameplay and more is made more enjoyable by the multiplayer capabilities its hard for me to even justify entertaining the thought of not only sinking my time into 9 but asking another person for their time when dragon quest 10 is right there, easier than ever to play in english with a fan translation infinitely better than the official ones we've been getting since the ds games, and is deeply compelling in its own right without even needing to play with other people at all. i get that this is a game that is very special to a lot of people within and outside of the dragon quest fanbase but i could never enjoy this one, especially in the current year now that it's as redundant to me as it is boring.
