Despite being told by everyone how amazing this game is and how groundbreaking it is, playing it in retrospect is pretty difficult. It has all the problems of the other Dragon Warrior tiles on the NES (terrible story, progression), but it kind of pioneers the whole job system that would later go on to be used to great success in Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy V.

I really can't recommend playing this one when those other 2 games exist, though. Especially Final Fantasy V, which is just an objectively better use of your time.
