It's a shame that Dragon Quest VI is widely regarded as a weak entry by fans rather than just an ambitious game with notable shortcomings. I don't want people to get it twisted. This is a great RPG, it's still Dragon Quest so it beats a lot of the competition out there basically by default, it just happens to pale in comparison to IV and V, the other entries in Dragon Quest's Zenithian Trilogy.
The game's pacing is out of whack and that stems from the story just not being very engaging, which is a shame by Dragon Quest standards. However, the game has some really likable characters (Carver, Lizzie and Terry are GREAT) and the job system really pushes this thing over the top, making it still very fun to play moment to moment. What can I say, I love a good job system.
Though I will say on the story, the last leg is genuinely really awesome and the ending is just gorgeous. Really loved the way this thing wrapped up by the end. If you're struggling through it, try and push through to see how it wraps up!
Anyway yeah, I'm glad I played that. Took me longer than I would've liked though.
