An old-fashioned handheld RPG for the post-Pokémon era

Random encounters are gone, you can local co-op with friends SEAMLESSLY AND HELP THEM OUT IN BATTLES, an open world to walk around/explore/chill in, and a story that still stands out in the Dragon Quest franchise

I’m not kidding if Square remastered this game for the switch and had online play Dragon Quest would be even bigger than it did when VIII/XI showed up with voice acting
