Overall, it was fun, "ugh-ish" re-translation (compared to NoProgress's unaltered translation) aside. What I really enjoyed is how the monster system was less of a pain in the a** (in the original, you recruited sort of V style) as well as the party chat that gave the characters A LOT more characterization (wtf @ Hassan being an Australian pirate). After playing on such beautiful graphics and not on my computer with a keyboard, I think I have a new favourite Dragon Quest~. Sorry IV, if you had a changeable class system, you'd still be my favourite, but portable DQVI takes the lead. Now all I need to do is finish up VII, buy a new PS2 and finish VIII!
