Dragon Warrior II is fucking hardcore...

[tiesto]

Yeah, I've been playing the game on the GBC, since I've never beaten it before, and damn... just got to the Cave to Rhone and the difficulty just leaped up tremendously... large dungeon with tons of pitfalls, multiple staircases, insanely difficult enemies that have the possibility to crush my party in a turn... wow this makes Phantasy Star II seem like a cakewalk...

This was always my least favorite DW

It's not so bad

why the hate

[ToxicAdam]

Fuck, imagine searching every square inch of the town maps just to find hidden items. That's my only fuzzy memory of the game.


The NES was so starved for RPG's back then, it was amazing what you would slog through to get your fix.

Still a great game (for it's time), but not one I would ever replay today.

SNES version ftw

Shoulda played DW3 GBC. On PSP.

I'm starting that next... on GBA SP though.

[AdmiralViscen]

I should play it too...

[tiesto]

Yeah, the Rhone caverns are insane... made it to the 6th floor, where it's even more looping tunnels and pitfalls and mazes... been actually roughly mapping it on a piece of paper just like they did in the old days (no strategy guides for me!)... I need to save up for some Fur Armor for my chars I think.

I skipped 2 and jumped right to 4. I like a challenge, but I also have better things to do than grindgrindgrind in an ancient RPG. Good luck, Tiesto!

Also, I never ever got to play Dragon Quest V on the NES.

Are there good PS2 emulators at all, or will I never get to experience DQ V until the DS version comes here?  (if it comes here )

wait what DQV NES
tell me you mean SNES plz or i'm so very confused
