(I think there was a duplicate entry of this game and my record of this got 'eaten'. Anyways I've played it twice, once in 2019 and again in 2020 but I've lost the dates)
The original was my favorite game to start with, and this is a gold-standard remake of it. It adds plenty of QoL to smoothen the experience, and lots of interesting new features and content. This is one of the few games from the era that doesn't make me wish for a fast-forward button at any point - it's just really well paced and fantastically balanced. As probably the only Dragon Quest game that I find slightly too easy, I feel like they could have made the enemies slightly tougher to account for the vastly greater amount of tools they give to the player compared with the original, but wow what a good game.
