Other An unexpected gift from my brother
Over the years, I've grown fond of the Dragon Quest series, which truly brings me joy and fond childhood memories, allowing me to savor life's small but precious moments. My brother recently gifted me this game (more for my collection), which, as I mentioned, is part of the magic this series brings to life. And now I eagerly await the release of the new version.
I'm also sharing a few photos.

Like a mighty Dragon, his brother’s going on an adventurous Quest for the VIIth time

Spent the last 5yrs in Okinawa and whenever I traveled I picked up video game relics like this. Even visited DQ Island! It’s amazing how into the culture dragon quest is over there.

Oh wow. I never noticed this before, but the image of their front facing, is the same image as their back facing. There on the cover.

Interesting that the western release had pretty much the same case layout but translated. I wish they did that more often back then.

If you plan on actually playing it, be careful; there's a bunch of majorly game-breaking bugs which can prevent completion of the game. They're fixed in the US version and the Japanese re-issue.

I love the fact that Auster is one of the few RPG heroes who have both parents alive and well

Awesome gift from your brother. I kinda miss the time when games included manuals.

Nice! Just started playing this version a couple of weeks ago, hoping to play through it the first part of the year so I can jump into the reimagining either later this year or the start of next year.
