Since I am from europe, I felt a bit disapointed... This game suposed to be "beter" than the Final Fantasy series! When i've finaly have the chance and finish it i've realised that it might be a good RPG, but it's not realy THAT great! The japanise version had a low quality soundrack and no voise dialog. How could I posibly anderstand why is this game selling more copies than the Final Fantasy series? Why every one finds this game fantastik and the europeans dont? The answer is simle! It is a game that sells for it's historick Name! Europeans has never seen a Dragon Quest till now!
