replayed this after replaying 1, i feel like this game has big 2 steps forward 1 step back energy.

a party system :)
dogshit encounter rates :(
stat buff and debuff spells :)
the fucking cave to rendarak :(

i think overall i am a really big fan of the changes this game makes, and if you have the patience to beat the first one you probably have the same level of patience to beat this one. if you take on most or all random encounters you face, which will be a fuckton, you probably wont have to go out of your way to grind levels at any point of the game. i also think supplementary things to listen to in the background like your own music or podcasts and maybe the occasional guide usage helps with these early dq games. despite vividly remembering the gripes i had with this game the first time i played it, i still think it's worth a shot if youre into these really simple early jrpgs
