The first true jrpg and the first title in a franchise I love. The game is incredibly simple but surprisingly it represented a sense of adventure better than any retro adventure game I've played has. Its so cool seeing how differently it plays from even DQ2. Its not perfect, the naming system is rather silly and can kill playthroughs, and there are too many empty places that waste time or lead to nowhere and few moments where I genuinely needed a guide, but cross referencing a printed map and discovering secrets via intuition, is an experience I won't forget.
