Very nice game to get in touch with Dragon Quest. Nice story, with beautiful places and good gameplay. It reminds me of the good old days with RPGs on Playstation 2. It's worth its price.

So I recently started playing this game and I would like to give a comprehensive opinion on it.

SOS: guys, do not get the (Edition of Light, and the regular) version because you will miss out on many things that are essential to the game, e.g. you won't have the option to set the language to Japanese, the character skins won't show, and some other things that determine the end of the story... (it's a spoiler) it only happens in the full package which is the Definitive Edition of 2020.

So the gameplay is a classic jrpg and the gameplay itself is somewhat slow, at some points you might get bored (e.g. grinding for endless hours due to low level to defeat a boss, but it depends on the player's character if it will ruin their appetite or not). The items and the way they are explained are simple and understandable, and the characters' skills are quite different, so you can customize and try many things.

The sound of the game is good, but in some parts, the character voices sound like they have an echo, as if the background is not in place, which is logical for them to have an echo.

Now, as for the story of the game, it's a classic fairytale-like story where the protagonist is the "chosen one" to save the world from evil demons, it's a bit cliché, but the journey you go through, meeting new characters and progressing towards the end, is very enjoyable and immerses you deep into the story and its world. Overall, if you only focus on the story, it will take you 35-40 hours, but if you want to get the platinum trophy, we're talking about 80+ hours.

And the technical aspect is flawless and locked at 60 fps at 1080p with minimal lag and glitches (at least I didn't find anything on the PS5).

The soundtrack is very sweet and nice, perfectly matching the theme of the game which is overall very beautiful (at least I liked it).

So, summarizing my opinion, it is a very good game with a good beginning, middle, and end of the story.
8/10
