![]() ![]() This, in my humble opinion, is both a good and a bad thing, though I see it as being more of a bad thing. Of the two RPG giants in Japan, Dragon Quest is one of the oldest franchises and it’s probably still popular with its die hard fans because it hasn’t really changed all that much since the original title was released. Generally speaking, the graphical presentation of Dragon Quest VI is very competent, it’s just nothing that’s totally distinct. There are many towns that the player will visit, and each one has a unique and interesting design too, which is nice to see in a game like this – every area is almost instantly recognisable after visiting a couple of times. Most of the game is very similar to SNES-era pixel art, however, but none of the assets are too offensive and they still hold up very well today, or have been restored appropriately. 3D environments have been added and they have some very nice designs, with some interesting art direction too. It’s all very generic and I would go as far to call it “bad” too.Īs this is a partial remake, Dragon Quest VI features some redone graphics when compared to the original SNES versions. Upon waking from what feels like a dream, the hero eventually realises that everything he experienced was most certainly not a dream, and that he must band together with others to defeat the menacing presence before it destroys the real world right under everyone’s noses. While in this world, the hero uncovers Murdaw, a monstrous being who threatens the wellbeing of the entire world. Upon venturing out of the town to secure his produce, the hero accidentally uncovers a “dream world” which exists parallel to the real world, however the hero takes a ghostly state whenever in the dream world. Without a doubt though, it’s probably the better of the three remakes that Nintendo have published thus far.ĭragon Quest VI takes place in a medieval town of Weaver’s Peak, where we take control of an unnamed “hero” character who is asked by the mayor to collect some produce for sale throughout the town. Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie (or Revelation in other territories) is the latest release in the series from Square Enix for the Nintendo DS, and despite being quite a decent game, it’s definitely not going to win any haters of the series over. ![]() Nintendo and Square Enix have seen fit to create another remake, this time of one of the finest titles in the series, which was not available outside of Japan until now. With the rather stellar release of Dragon Quest IX, the latest DS RPG was popular among all crowds thanks to some heavy marketing. With multiple remakes of the classic titles, along with newer iterations in the series, Square Enix have been busy in garnering support for the franchise using Nintendo’s systems. Nintendo and Square Enix have been on a roll with the Dragon Quest series lately.
