Josh from Controller Crusade writes "Anyone who has followed the Harvest Moon franchise since it burst on the scene in 1997 (1996 in Japan) knows the many ups and downs it has endured. The odd thing about Harvest Moon games is that even when they’re not that great they are still incredibly addicting. Depending on what aspect of the games you like to focus on, you’ll enjoy certain titles more than others. Personally I like to mix it up and do a little bit of everything, not pigeon hole myself into one type of task or chore. Here are my personal highs and lows for the Harvest Moon series."
Dragon Quest VI is a traditional turn-based RPG which features random battles and a character class system that the Hero and his party members acquire new skills and spells. The Hero travels around the world gathering a party throughout his adventure. To progress in the story, the party must defeat specific boss monsters or trigger specific flags. In order to defeat the bosses, the player must spend time training the party by gaining experience points from battles to advance in character and class levels.
From the review:
"I'd love to sit here and write this review for Dragon Quest VI in the full knowledge that I'm a hypocrite, that rose tinted spectacles cloud my judgement and it would certainly be an easier piece to put together if that were so. The admiration and enjoyment I've derived from this most firm standing of titles comes not from a place of sentimentality, but one of an appreciation of the pursuit of perfection. Though DQ has never had its revolutionary moment of change, such as the aforementioned FFXII, it has continually refined and sharpened exactly what makes JRPG's appealing. "
