can't go wrong with DQ DQ is simply put, the ultimate "classic" RPG. they have such a wonderful winning formula, so why change it?
Old school is good. When I first got this game, I feared it would be too different from other Dragon Quests, which I love.
But after playing for a few minutes, I realized all my fears were baseless. This game, despite having the some of the most gorgeous graphics on PS2, still felt like I was playing the classics. I don't know how they managed it, but that's true.
The best jump-in point for new fans, who'd be kept away by older graphics. Once they play this, they may end up appreciating the rest of the game, and give the old entries of the series a chance (they'd be glad they did).
Definitely get either this or the translated version. This is a must.

Better than JP version I have both versions and I like the US version a lot more.
The voices are great and the US version also has more abilities. Pick this up if you are any sort of RPG fan at all:)

Dragon Quest finally returns to NA! Dragon quest is an amazing RPG. The stunning visuals breathe new life into the series like never before. The gameplay has stuck to the roots that has made DQ a major success but has improved them also. The new menu layout is a nice addition to the previous installments. The game feature a long and fun storyline that any RPG fan would love. This game deserves to be in any game library of a fan of RPGs.
