An outdated and slow interface, especially for the equipment
A slightly high price for a 2D Remake of a 36-year-old game.
Some gamers will be resistant to the mandatory grinding.

A large, healthy variety of character classes to play and multi-class with.
A simple yet effective turn-based combat system that can be sped up thanks to certain quality-of-life features.
Intricately detailed HD-2D pixel-art graphics.
Difficulty options that are inviting to newcomers and challenging for veterans.

Level-grinding can get brutally tedious and taxing during the late-game portions.
The Personality mechanic feels underwhelming and requires hours of experimentation to get to grips with.
The minimal character development and traditional ?Good Vs. Evil? main plot may be a little too simplistic for certain players? tastes.

The first ten hours were very difficult.
Straight dungeons
Story too simple for the current time
Many forced back and forth trips
A menu that is still not very intuitive

The reworked music of Koichi Sugiyama
Various interesting options to enhance the gaming experience
The fights much less indigestible
The QoL additions (fast and automated battles, quest markers, ability to memorize certain dialogues...)
A more discreet HD-2D presentation, serving the original game.

The first few hours were tough because of the numerous forced back-and-forth trips.
The same pitfalls as in the original version
The menus, still as unintuitive as ever, in the great tradition of the series.
The monster arena, a superficial content addition
We were hoping for a little more.

Good voice acting
Fun exploration
It's a tried and true turn-based JRPG
Fast paced combat with quick transitions

DEI detected and excessive, intrusive QOL features
Atrocious difficulty system that undermines any challenge
Lazy character sprites and animation
Recycled music from unrelated Dragon Quest titles and no new pieces

Vida ExtraThe absolute excellence of classic RPG in all its glory.
A remake that evokes feelings of nostalgia and, from there, dazzles the player.
Elaborate turn-based battles that you can master and automate whenever and however you want.
An adventure that starts simply and surprises and captivates as it evolves.

An adventure that starts simply and surprises and captivates as it evolves.
Like all classic JRPGs, the beginning may seem difficult and you will have to level up consistently. But once you get into the flow (past the first section of the game), there is no turning back.

VideoLudosAn incredible visual redesign
One can create their own team from the beginning
Adjustable difficulty
The soundtrack was updated.
Pleasure to rediscover the drawings of Akira Toriyama
The 2D switches in open mode and 3D switches in combat.
