    love this game, it was my first DQ too. The upcoming game Octopath Traveller seems similar to it in the way you play as different characters, then (presumably) they will all come together later on.

    Dragon Warrior IV on NES was the first RPG I ever played as a kid and it holds a special place in my heart. I actually prefer the NES version over the DS version personally but I can see why others would disagree.

    I wish they would remake the Dragon quest series on PlayStation 4. Put out a one or two disk set with all of them in it. It ll sell like crazy . Everyone wants the remakes. Especially since they dropped the ball with 5 6 and 7 went to Ps1 and wasn't properly made. We didn't see success till 8

      Maybe the trilogy on 1 disc but even that is asking a lot
      These games sell,wethere they're new or remade for the 4th time (japan)

    DQIV on DS was the first mainline DQ I finished. I'd played the 1st and 3rd games on nes and gameboy as well as ~50hrs of DQ8 before but there's something about the accessibility of those ds entries that works perfectly. Really enjoy the monsters series games on DS and rocket slime is incredibly charming.

    And I'll stick by what I said in your other video. The mobile ports have party talk. If this version had that the DS would hands down be the best version. Unfortunately the localization team decided to cut corners with costs (maybe, who knows?) and exclude it. I'm glad they put it back in the mobile ports.

    • @ProjectCOE
      @ProjectCOE  6 років тому +2

      I personally don't like gaming on mobile, which is why I stick with this version, but yes it's unfortunate that was cut from this game.

    • @veteran0121
      @veteran0121 6 років тому +1

      Oh I understand completely as I hate touch controls. I recently played the game on my PC using the Bluestacks emulator and Joy2Key so I was able to jerry -rig the game to sort of support my PS4 controller. Still needed the mouse for some stuff like battles but it's certainly better than the alternative.

  • @reed1645

    As one of the relatively few that played through the original release back when it come out, I'm kind of torn on the extra chapter. More content is more content, but it really does divest Rosa and Psaro's tragic story of all its pathos.

    I'd like to say how much I like your reviews. I watched the whole thing and seeing/learning some of the other info you wouldn't hear anywhere else makes me love it. I appreciate your love for the game series, but I also like you don't hold back from saying if your not too fond of feature or such. But like me, you find there is very little to these games that there isn't to love. It was your review of DQ7 that compelled me to buy it and it was a Great decision. It is literally one of the Best remasters I've ever played, like not just among DQ games but remasters in general Ever. The graphics, kind of staying true to 1st person fights, but also being able to see your characters, the 3d-ish nature of the map. Monsters on the map rather than random encounters... But many places having no choice but to fight. I would LOVE Beyond Anything to see them take the graphics of 7 and apply them to remasters of All previous games 1-6.
    Having said that, I gotta say this remake looks Great!!!!! I was one of the rare people who played this on the Nes. My Dad and I being fans of the turn based style genre in the Nes, and Snes days. So we played FF 1-3, not until much later learning we played FF1, and 4,6. Aside from that we also played Dragon Warrior 1,2,3, and 4. I LOVED 4, It was crazy the map kind of looked like Earth, thought that was a really nice touch. Seeing this remaster, is once again making me consider having to play DQ4 again. The system and graphics look Fantastic, and reliving the story and characters again is Very Tempting.
    Anyway Once again I very much appreciate the review, and hope to see 'em coming with other games, of which I Very Much hope we get more.

      Thank you so very much for this lengthy comment. I've been away from YT studying for my finals for my MBA, as well as an international study trip, but now I'm back with three months off before school starts back up. I only have one more year to go and I'm officially done, which I can't wait for! So once again, thanks for the lovely comment.

    The only thing that the DS version doesn't have that the phone version has is party chat, and I so badly want that.
    Also, Alena, Kiryl, and Psaro are my favorites, with Taloon, Maya, Meena, are also awesome characters. So I missed not having party chat.

    @thenait1987 6 років тому +2

    I do not mean to complain and I think reviews are great but you need to work better on choosing the footage you are going to use for your videos as most of it was from post game and clearly shows the character you did not want spoil as a member of your party and you even outed his name during your synopsis giving a clear spoiler to anyone paying enough attention.

    This game is pretty good and unlike other famous DQ games, I like the game ending when the hero revisits his town and imagines that nothing has changed. I think this game, they started to implement hero's marriage and all.
    Addendum :- Have you tried out DQ 1-3? The english on those games is so weird. It's like those Shakespeare type of english. I couldn't understand half the words they were saying.

  • @fredriknylander3776
    @fredriknylander3776 5 років тому

    Honestly, I have played every single Dragon Quest game. Spinoff and main series, and I have to say, unpopular opinion or not that Dragon Quest IV is my least favourite game. The worst part of Dragon quest games has always been for me to get started, and in this game you have to do that for almost half of the game multiple times. Some of the chapters are not even that great, and it is also pretty easy to get lost and not figure out what the game wants you to do next. And if you counter this opinion by saying that it is an old game, why then did Dragon Quest 3 do everything in regards to my complaints so much better, with that game being my second favourite entry only behind XI. I want to like this game, I am searching for its greatness but I cannot help to feel that this is one of the most overrated JRPG:s of all time in my opinion

    dude, come on. I get that you don't have the views to justify a 3DS capture card, and thats perfectly fine, but for regular DS games you could just download desmume, get yourself a DQ IV ROM and use some PC footage recording software to give us better quality footage to watch than you recording your DS screen with a camera.
