    Very nice!

    By Dragon Warrior I you mean the US release of Dragon Quest I for gameboy? Why not play the Switch remake that just got released two months ago?

      I asked online “which dragon quest game should i play first in order to get into the series”, and they said i should play the original version of the first game

        Why would they say that…Dragon Quest is extremely archaic even its newer releases and remakes. I like older games, but not even I am such a purist that I would recommend that over the remakes. They also look really cool.

        Another recommendation is Octopath Traveler 2 btw., I honestly think it is one of the greatest JRPGs of the last 20 years. I adore it.

            Live A Live remake is nice, but Octo 2 mogs it. Actual peak game.

              really now? Do you have to play Octo 1 first, or are the stories disconnected

                Disconnected. Octo 1 is okay, but nothing special. Feels a bit like a test run compared to its sequel. 2 though, that one is an actual gem.

            Ive always really loved the look of games with 2d characters in 3d settings, and HD-2D games are like eye candy to me

          idk it initially made sense, like “this is the first of many of its kind”, like getting to see where a lot of jrpgs got their start yk what i mean?

            Yeah, I get it, being somewhat of a game historian is also my main reason for liking DQ. That being said, if you did not play many JRPGs, unlike me, I think you should play lots of other stuff first. It makes playing DQ better. Playing DQ before let’s say FFVI is pretty crazy to me. In my opinion you should postpone playing DQ.
