The beggining of JRPGs. A very simple but very important game. Everything you know about modern JRPGs started here.

The story is quite simple, save the princess, destroy the great evil, save the world and get married. The world is not big and the game ends rather quickly as well. Just a few hours due to cartridge limitations when the original game released. Encounter rate is a little bit high and exploration can be a little tedious because of that.

The SNES version is the best version of the game, looks really good, the sprites are charming, the songs are great. Way better than the Switch version which looks awful(even though the Switch version has some QOL improvements).

It's the first Dragon Quest I finished and I'm curious to play the next entries in the series to see it evolve.
