I played it after DQXI ate my life, and honestly, it was a fun little game! Very simple and old, but it was really neat to see where a lot of the staples of the JRPG genre started. I think the old RPG I've played that it reminded me most of was Pokemon RGB, in terms of progression? Anyway, it was fun puzzling my way through. Also even if the writing is pretty simplistic, it's charming and often pretty funny. Obviously it's old as dirt, but if you're looking for a little break from a longer game, it's a good choice!
