Dragon Warrior 7

I just buy this game few weeks ago and I'm so proud of this purchase. This game is amazing, just like when I was a kid...

More than happy to pay full price even for just the discs, as long as they work. Apparently it sold millions of copies in Japan where everyone knew how great it was, but this English version didn't sell nearly as many. Lucky me, I got to rent it from my local blockbuster all the time. I'm surprised no one rented it and just kept, probably because I was the only one that ever played it or something. Every bit as good and memorable as something like Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy VII. The only reason I ever played it was because I had Dragon Warrior III on GameBoy color and Dragon Warrior Monsters, both pretty great games. I know back in the day Chrono Trigger made me cry and I think this did as well. I've been meaning to find a copy and buy it for years. I'm only doing it now because I heard an ad in a GameStop saying it was being remade and that it had never been released in America, which is not true. Apparently this version is that obscure. So I knew I'd better just buy it. I was shocked to see the price, though I consider this game worth a lot, but considering the low number of English copies, it's pretty fair.

While the graphics and sound effects fall flat of expectations for this game, the hours upon hours spent playing and exploring new worlds more than make up for it. The storyline is deep and enthralling, the class system is amazing, and there are plenty of sidequests and minigames to keep you busy for days. A wonderful game for what it is.
