I bought Dragon Quest V yesterday, and so far have punched in seven hours. It’s fantastic.
The game play is great, granted it’s the same Dragon Quest game play since the beginning, but the way the monsters are handled graphically this time around, it really makes the battles a lot more fun.
There’s some grinding, sure, but at least you’re having fun doing it.
The music is great, the art is great, however there is something terrible that almost completely ruins all of it.
The localization of the game is terrible. The puns are embarrassing, the accents are unneeded, it’s the perfect game with the wrong script.
So, if you want to be one of the first to play it and talk about it, go buy it right now. The script on some of the characters is terrible, but overall this game is fantastic.
