Currently doing a Dragon Quest marathon, after finishing 8 which was my first DQ i decided to do this. I have played 1 and 2, skipped 3 for the remake im way too impatient right now so i backed out of that, and played 4. Compared to the three other DQs i beat, this is easily the second best, only being surpassed by 8. For starters, compared to its predecessors, the characters actually matter in this game. You get a chapter for each of the Chosen Ones, and spend time and get to know them. This remake also adds the party chat feature, which isnt in the western release of the game but i had a mod that restored it. The story is pretty good also, for a game that released originally in 1990. Psaro is easily my favorite villain of all the DQs I’ve played so far. The postgame was also pretty fun as well. I’m a sucker for games that allow you to play as the final boss after you beat them.
