"In 1990, Enix released Dragon Quest IV in Japan to critical acclaim and would also be a success as it would sell over 3 million units–a mark that was eclipsed by Dragon Quest III two years before it. Two years later, Dragon Warrior IV would come to North America, also receiving critical acclaim. However, the game would fail to sell well in the region, not even hitting the 100,000 mark. Because of the poor sales, Dragon Quest would remain in Japan until 2001 when Dragon Warrior VII would release on the PlayStation."
Several Dragon Quest videogames are currently on sale with Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (3DS) dropping to $29.99, Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (DS) to $23.70, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride to $24.99 and Dragon Quest Builders (PS4) to $29.99.
The NES classic receives new life in an upgraded handheld remake.
Eyes on FF: "Winter is finally letting go, so the days aren't as cold anymore and my hands are no longer sand paper. Might have to do with the fact that I decided to ditch the iPhone in favor of my beloved little black DS Lite to play the Zenithian trilogy of the Dragon Quest series. Though that of course meant I had fewer opportunities to play, I'm glad that I've rediscovered the joy of playing a good old classic JRPG cuddled up in my chair under a warm blanket. Although this time around, I'm a bit less enthusiastic."
This game is also now available on iOS.
It's really good, underrated RPG.
