THE GOOD: The challenge, easy and basic battle system, and easy to get lost which makes you have to go exploring.
THE BAD: The controls were mildly clunky.
SUMMARY: This was the first RPG, and still quite possibly one of the best. (This series has never lost it's spark ever since Dragon Warrior1 came out.) The game has challenging battles, tons of exploring, and expensive weapons making you decide what would be best to purchase before proceeding or make things easier to continue to collect Gold for weapons with more ease. This is a true RPG. This is how RPGs should be. They should be similar to the Dragon Warrior series in relation to exploring and challenge. If you claim to be an RPG fan, look into this game, to see were RPGs first began. Oh, yeah. We can't forget the DragonLord. I love this guy. He's the villain and you don't meet him face to face until the end. I just love his goofy little lines. WHOOSH!!!!!!!
