  My first RPG before I knew what an RPG was. I remember when Pokémon first came out and I had no idea what kind of game it was, and then once I saw someone play it, I went “oh, it’s like dragon warrior”

  The point you made about how "grinding" isn't so tedious because you're working towards a goal is absolutely true. This goes for almost every single entry in the series, but I think it's a lot more potent in the earlier games that are more simple.

  I really liked the structure of this video. Putting your experience of the game throughout the video was a great way to relive the game once more.

  Ah the original Dragon Quest. This was the third game I ever played back on the Gameboy Color thanks to its release alongside 2. I remember getting so excited about my progress through the game I&apos;d write about it in my journal for my 7rh grade class because it was something completely new to me at the time. Before this game I had only beaten Pokémon Red and Dragon Quest Monsters so facing monsters directly, on my own no less, was quite the harrowing yet fulfilling experience. When I finally took down Dragonlord it felt so good and got my hooked on the series.<br><br>Learning more about the history is fun. While I do have knowledge how things have gone for the series I never heard how Hori got his start or how Toriyama got involved. Excited for more of these, especially the next because it&apos;s the hardest entry 😅.

  Looking forward to watching this entire series. DQ needs more love from larger channels so more people get inspired to play it. Great video. Probably the best DQ1 retrospective I&apos;ve ever seen.

  Comparing this to 11, its amazing how much the series has improved while remaining faithful to what made the original so successful
