>>12577587Only FC version uses passwords, NES version has battery save
>>12577587> large screen?? resolution on SNES is identical to NES (in fact a bit smaller on the Y axis but it has effectively very little bearing)
>>12577587you forgot>fc/nes: requires walking in circles for hours at multiple points in the game to keep up with the power curvejust play the snes version, its not that great of a game anyway but you NEED to get through it first. then skip 2 and play 3 snes version for one of the greatest jrpgs of all time and the peak of dq
There isn't a single remake better than the original Famicom dragon quest is peak
>>12577617ok then the nes version is perfect, cool>>12577654both infinitely larger than the unplayable gameboy screen (for this type of game at least)https://youtu.be/UdVJY1gs6n4?si=w1Kc5PoRiN9cnaMW&t=2198
>>12577784>then the nes version is perfect, coolNope, they changed all the sprites, the original Famicom ones are more soulful especially the wizard NPC sprite, in comparison the NES one is depressive.Anyway, SFC and GBC are worth playing too, after you play original FC first.Also don't skip 2.
>>12577830i have played gbc and sfc, especially 2. 2 is ass btw
>>12577836I played NES 2 recently and loved it, it's a fantastic game
>>12577837i think dq4 does the party thing better and dq1 is a more focused experience. i really don't see anything that dq2 does better than those two.
gbc looks a hell of a lot more soulful and appealing to me, NES DQ looks like shit aside from the monsters. SNES looks bad too until they got to VI and 3make which are gorgeous.>muh screen crunchmatters for a platforming or action game, for a simple turn based rpg not so much.
>>12577860GBC was good enough for 1 and 2's simple design, but 3's attempt to translate the DQ6-style graphics to handheld just made it looks like muddy shit.
>>12577860if you're trying to navigate the overworld and not just looking at a guide it does matter
>>12577875sure but dq 1 and 2 have pretty simple overworlds.
>>125778832's overworld is not simple
>>12577912oh yeah, you just reminded me that dq2 will not spawn the second hero in his town until you go to your home castle and talk to your father so he can tell you he's not in your castle anymore. i hate dq2
>>12577706love this poster>>12577860hate this poster
>>12577860This so fucking much, NES dragon quests games look like absolutely ASSSS outside of combat
>>12578092What's so "ass" about it? It's charming 8bit sprites. Do you guys even like retro?The SFC remake looks great too but I don't understand how people browsing the retro board get filtered by 8bit graphics
>>12577912Hey isn't that the waterway that's pushing up fuel prices?
>>12578728They look pretty bad compared to other contemporary famicom rpgs, specially 3 and 4
>>12578749The strait of Cannock>>12578767Whatever, I don't think it's like sooooo bad that it's unplayable. To me it's 8bit charm
There's nothing wrong with 8 bit DQ geaphics, it's an iconic comfy look
I'm so fucking sick of handheld ports apologists.
>>12581305Will you ever tell the story of how your obsession with handheld ports started?
>>12581464There is a guy in another thread on another board who was saying he was playing a handheld port of a game, saying "I don't understand how anyone could play the original console versions they're so slow!". He then proceeded to explain how he played alongside a guide and maps to zoom (pun intended) through the game, barely engaging with the game mechanics and beat the game in no time, only to admit how unfun that was.This is the perfect example of handheld ports apologists. They don't want to enjoy the game, just run through them at high speed, and handheld ports are perfect for that because they often include speed things or casualize the game to make it faster. I wouldn't take offense, it's their problem, EXCEPT that they precisely recommend those versions as "the best versions" to everyone else which could hamper the enjoyment of someone who'd actually want to enjoy the game, who doesn't realize who he's talking to, and who doesn't know better.Same principle with the GBC version of DQ1 as recommended ITT
