A great iteration of the turn based RPG in the modern day. Other games have since come out and updated the formula to greater success, but I still believe that this game kept the torch lit for the likes of Octopath Traveler to shine.
The story was genuinely interesting, and chock-full of the charm and wonder that comes with the world of Dragon Quest. The tongue-in-cheek humour wedged between important story beats made sure the game kept serious but also kept light when it was important to (and it does get very important to). The story did wane longer, but as I was going for the Platinum trophy, I imagine more streamlined playthroughs would have more easily struck that balance.
This game will go down as one of the best RPGs of it's console generation, and I definitely think it may be the best of the turn based RPGs available on the PS4.
