When the idea of a “very standard” RPG pops up in my head, not Dragon Quest, but this game is what comes to mind. I don’t mean that as a bad thing either, it feels like a nice and safe RPG with all the standard fixings but not much more.

However, this does mean I have to be in a very particular mood to play this game. When trying to marathon and complete it, I simply did not have the same vibe all throughout and got a bit bored of the game, frankly. I do look forward to when I’m in the right mood to pick it up again.

It’s also worth mentioning that I have no other history with this series as of writing this review so I can’t vouch for all the “this is the game equivalent of the mediocre first season of a really good show that you have to push through” reviews but look forward to the sequels no less.
