The Zenithian Trilogy of Dragon Quest is a collection of some of the very best JRPGs of their era, and I sincerely hope they'll get some kind of attention from Square Enix. I think it's high time they become more accessible as ports for modern systems, and in time, as remakes.

A thing about Dragon Quest IX, and what I feel like we lack when it comes to modern games, is disconnected narratives. Games and their worlds can feel small and restrictive if we only experience one continuous story. I love DQIX's world and the way the stories are presented.

Final Fantasy IV is actually an amazing game. I THINK I'm nearing the end, but the narrative keeps on moving and getting more and more whacky, which I absolutely love. The ATB combat-system is making some encounters seriously challenging. It's frustrating, but fun. FF4 is good.

Video games and the culture behind them have morphed into a very specific set of rules on how you finish them. It's almost as if games are expected to be a certain length because of how long they 'should' take to complete. It could take you 1 week or 6 years. It's your adventure.

Conventional design is important for the longevity of a system. In the case of Dragon Quest's spells, they've been treated the same way as the characters, and even the monsters. This makes them iconic and well designed. What's your favorite Dragon Quest spell? Mine's Kaboom.

Dragon Quest as a franchise is always shrouded in mystery and its announcements are usually either grandiose or sneaked in. What I want more than anything at this point, is for Dragon Quest III 2D-HD remake to get announced at the next Nintendo Direct and released on DQ Day '24

One thing that I will always treasure Dragon Quest for is how magical it feels to start up a new save file. The beginning of a new adventure is an emotion, and not one that is easily captured by many games. Dragon Quest 9 is my final game (apart from 10) to play in the series.

Dragon Quest XI is a beautiful game, and I really love the art style and its evolution throughout the series' timeline. But there is something so special about the low-res 64-bit 3D chibi visuals that Dragon Quest IX (and many other JRPGs on the Nintendo DS) had. Am I alone?

I can't wait for the critic-reviews to roll in at 70/100, with them having played the first 8 hours only, thinking it's representative of the entire game. Seeing the user-score this high is making me happy to be part of the Dragon Quest-community. This game is so awesome.

Oops. I accidentally finished my 3rd playthrough of Dragon Quest IV, when I actually were in the middle of other projects. But that's the appeal of Dragon Quest. It completely sucks you in and transports you to another world. Oh well. DQV needs a 3rd playthrough aswell...

Happy 19th birthday to Dragon Quest VIII. It was one of the largest JRPG releases we've seen in the West in terms of impact, as it succesfully translated the success of the Japanese market onto the Western. Such an impressive PS2 game that still holds up 100% today.

Playing FFIII feels like a culmination of what the 80s taught us about RPGs and gives a beginning akin to how a fantastical TV series would start. So much content and pieces of gameplay-loops fills the first couple of hours. I can't wait to see how the game shapes up.

Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince has sold roughly 350.000 physical copies in Japan alone - at launch. The fact that the franchise is stronger than ever in Japan should be a glowing sign to Square Enix that they NEED to look at the demand for Dragon Quest globally. Come on.

Dragon Quest Monsters The Dark Prince is the 5th best selling Switch game on the Japanese Nintendo Switch E-shop in 2023. This speaks VOLUME as to the intense popularity of the franchise in Japan, and also to the enormous potential, globally. Square Enix, it's time. We're ready.

Dragon Quest IX is such a special experience as a fan of the franchise. The sheer contrast it immediately creates to the other games in the series is very interesting, and gives Dragon Quest another dimension in terms of what makes a Dragon Quest game. One of the best entries.

Final Fantasy VI is highly regarded, and is often put on the very top of lists about the best JRPGs of all time. I just booted it up for the first time, and I seriously can't wait to get started. I'm a huge sucker for the steampunk aesthetic aswell, so my expectations are high.

Us in Europe have always been a little side-stepped when it came to the earlier releases of Dragon Quest, but Dragon Quest I, II and III on GBC are probably the ones I regret not being able to get in my childhood the most. I love JRPGs on handheld consoles. They fit perfectly.

At this point, the Dragon Quest development team needs all the time they can get. Between Toriyama's passing and the large restructuring internally at Square Enix, I'm sure the team is under a great deal of stress, also because of the enormous expectations for DQ XII. I'm hopeful

Bloomberg is reporting that Yu Miyake, the Producer of the Dragon Quest series is stepping down. Due to delays in development of Dragon Quest XII a change is being made.

I can't believe it's under 24 hours now. Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince releases tomorrow on december 1st 2023. The wait has been long, but we can finally begin wrangling and building our thematic, competitive and diverse monster-teams in the weekend. Hold. Hoooold.

Even in his most simple concept sketches for different spells or scenes, Akira Toriyama does truly show his style is so core to the Dragon Quest franchise. There is something so special about the charming lightheartedness, but with the capacity for a darker and menacing tone.

Dragon Quest's monsters are so well designed, that when a new monster gets introduced in a game, it could just as well be from the previous Dragon Quest games. One of these is The Dark Prince's Vegandragora. I'm floored by how good ALL the monster-designs in Dragon Quest are.

Metal Slime-hunting will always be thrilling. It makes grinding feel extremely rewarding when it pays off. This scenario freaks me out, though. I just know everyone except one flees the moment the turn starts.

Another overlooked aspect of Dragon Quest is the weapon designs. As the games continue to improve visually, we can really see the care and attention to detail that has gone into designing the weapons. It gives them another element of value than just extra stats. They're so cool.

Absolutely blown away by the amount of content that Final Fantasy l has. Especially when comparing it to its peers and the time. It's truly a testiment to the extreme amount of teachings developers in the industry gained during this time. FF1 is a great game. On to ll.
