I wish I had this game growing up! Back when I had way more time on my hands, I would've loved a big ass turnbased RPG that wasn't Pokemon.
The voice acting is so great, and I really like the lovely little road-trip vibe the whole game has. I played 11 first, and you can really see a lot of the roots of that game in this one. It's cute!
I've been neglecting to mention Sugiyama in the other DQ reviews because, you know, the war crimes and stuff. Seems like a chode. But maaaaan the soundtrack for this game goes so hard. Takes a lot of cojones to put a cowbell solo in your tense situational music and still get the blood pumping.
Overall a really good DQ game, I'd have no problem recommending this to anyone to play it as their first before jumping into like, 1 or 5.
