When I first researched stuff online about Dragon Quest 3, I stumbled upon an urban legend saying that the Japanese government had to make a law preventing Square Enix from releasing its games during weekdays because too many people were skipping school and work to get the games. This intrigued me: can a game cause societal disturbances of such scale? During my playthrough, I multiple times felt astonished by the genius creativity behind this game. There's a major step up from what DQ2 has done and switching to Switch port instead of SNES emulation added to the shock.
