A terrible port for a bad game. I have loved the DQ series for a long time. This re-release almost brought me physical pain. Copy-paste story, bad voice acting, unresponsive controls, glitches and bugs, poor graphics fidelity even on max, annoying cut scenes, 2D characters who i felt no attachment towards, boring character customisation, extremely repeditive gameplay, and incredibly disruptive game mechanics. Square Enix stripped all adventure elements from the game. It is now an on-rails repeditive grind. Gameplay "innovations" dumbed down what made the original iterations of the game a classic. Combos are impossible to pull off with mouse and keyboard. The roles of tanks/fighters/mages/healers do not come into play. The AI is downright terrible. They rarely do anything useful, and seem to be very prone to getting caught in massive crowds of enemies and dying. All the tactics and finese of the previous tiles has devolved into Button Mash Simulator 2k15.

Huge props to the advertising team. 10/10 would get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ over again.
