[float=left][/float]On December 9, 1995, Enix (now known as Square-Enix) released Dragon Quest VI on the Super Famicom, completing their three-game trilogy on Nintendo's 16-bit home console. Unfortunately for fans of the NES entries, Enix never localized the Super Famicom Dragon Quest titles, including the very popular Dragon Quest VI. 15 years later, on February 14, 2011, Square-Enix finally brought Dragon Quest VI outside of Japan, under the subtitle "Realms of Revelation," completing the remakes of the Super Famicom games on the DS, and thus having every Dragon Quest game available outside of Japan. Using the same engine as Dragon Quest IV and V on DS and remaining faithful to the original, is Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation merely another bland JRPG stuck in the 90s?

Nice review. I'll be completely honest, I've never played a Dragon Quest game in my life nor have I even seen the gameplay. I've always been a fan of the 2D sprites in a 3D environment look.

Do the Dragon Quest stories interconnect at all or can any one of them be picked up and played?

Dragon Quest IV, V, and VI all take place in the same "world" (they're part of some trilogy) but all the games are stand-alone titles. If you are going to start with the series I'd go with Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride on DS. It has a fantastic story.

I'm the same with Chris here.
I might have to try it.

I played a demo for it once and it seemed pretty ace back then. Might also have to try it, especially with art by Akira Toriyama.
