Imo this is the best version of DQV to play. It's insane to think that this game basically came out in 1991, five years before pokemon red and blue which feel much older and outdated in comparison. This game's story is really solid and still extremely unique today. People tend to pass on dragon quest because it just "looks like a generic fantasy RPG" but it's definitely more than that. Probably one of the best JRPGs to ever come out.
