How Dragon Quest Swords got me into Dragon Quest

Taking a stab at it Dragon Questhas been one of my favorite RPG series for about a decade. Simple, idealistic fairy tales resonated with me in my childhood the same way colorful, idealistic shonen anime worlds did in my college years, so it’s little wonder these tradition-driven games pulled me in so strongly.
