    • @shadominx3696
      @shadominx3696 4 місяці тому

      Um. I think you mean high definition. Fidelity means either:
      • faithfulness to a person, cause, or belief, demonstrated by continuing loyalty and support.
      OR
      • sexual faithfulness to a spouse or partner.
      It could also mean “the degree of exactness with which something is copied or reproduced.” But that honestly doesn’t make any sense when you’re referring to sprites in a video game…. I highly suggest picking up some actual books. And perhaps a dictionary.

      Just realize that while Dragon Quest I seems extremely short and primitive in comparison (no matter how nice they make it look) it's one of the most charming and pleasant times ever in more recent versions and I have no doubt this remake will make that even more true. Dragon Quest II, though, is legendary for its absolutely insane difficulty that has been toned down a bit on every remake (the currently available version on Switch is much less painful than the NES and GBC versions were) and I'm sure will be toned down a bit more here but DQ II is no joke.

      I think 4 and 5 are better than 3 but that's no shot at 3. It's an incredible game.
      The first time I played the DS version of 4 (first time I played any version of it) I was literally just breathless that that sort of plot could've existed on the NES (even cleaned up the way the DS did you could see its NES DNA). 3 is a pretty incredible milestone, though. I've always liked it.

You're right, how they crammed the scenario of 4 into NES blows my mind. I absolutely loved it when I first played it on the DS. 5 is also one of my favorite ones (in the top 5 DQ games imo). The storyline there is heartwrenching, and I loved collecting monsters.

Maybe it's because it has an perfect length, I prefer the world settings, environments & more engaging adventure in 3 more, the sentimental value and the gameplay that still holds up remarkably well. I love every Dragon Quest games. But I will always come back to 3 more if I wonna feel cozy & enjoy the sentiments there.

My parents wrote them to see about purchasing DQ2-4 from them as a Christmas present. One of the representatives not only found copies, used but in perfect condition, they also photo-copied the instruction manual for 4, which if you know how long that item was you know how much time they put into it (it served as a guide). They also wrote my a personal letter to thank me for enjoying the series. I'm 42 now, these games have stuck with me for a long time, and seeing them come to a new generation of players makes me hope that others can experience the same kinds of memories they helped me build all those years ago.
