There are several reviews here on Amazon outlining the specifics of the gameplay for Dragon Quest VI so I'll keep it brief.

This is, at it's core, a turn-based JRPG, and a reasonably fun one at that. I'm not really blown away by the storyline but it's interesting enough to pull me along without tugging. I've had some minor difficulties remembering where I need to go here and there but I think it speaks highly of the dialogue that if I sit and think it out for a moment, I can remember directions received from my various visits. So it's obviously not boring me completely. But it's not riveting by any means - standard stuff.

I've put in some heavy hours on the game and have grown tired of the random encounters made while traveling. I don't mind grinding in my RPGs but I don't particularly enjoy being forced to do so every 5-10 seconds while I'm traversing the landscape. Fights pop up constantly and they're a surprise. The ground is blank and you just get sucked into battle. Not that this is unique, but I do prefer the battle system in, say, Dragon Quest IX where I can see the enemies and aim at the ones I'd WANT to fight. But this isn't a huge gripe, just one that's starting to get a little frustrating. (Some people are attracted to this type of confrontation exactly and I get that, it's just not for me.)

The music got old quickly and is starting to grate on my nerves. I'm at the point where I need to go in and check my options to see if I can turn the soundtrack down by itself, but something tells me that's not possible in this game. This, though, isn't a huge gripe either because I can just lower the volume all together and call it a day. (But man, I love the laser sound this version makes when you win a battle. If I could just hear THAT!)

The other complaint, and likely the last, is that costume/armor/weapon customization isn't applied to the on-screen characters. They're rocking the same gear throughout the game regardless of what they're equipped with. New equipment makes a difference, clearly, but you don't get to see it ON.

I'd also like to note that the fight sequences are of the older variety. Contact is initiated and a group of enemies is lined up on your screen. You pick your actions and the attack happens without any animation from your heroes. Just a jolt, a slash, a fireball, and a vibrating-to-vanishing kill. So, if you're looking for some more exciting actions from your heroes, I'd go with a more current DQ game. But if you're looking for speed, (and believe me, after your 1000th fight, you won't care how it looks), this is a great way to go at it.

In the end, this isn't a terribly difficult game but it is time consuming and houses its share of challenges. There are two worlds to explore and plenty of battles to keep you leveling along nicely. Considering the prices I'm seeing here, I strongly recommend adding it to your JRPG library.

And I thank you for your time.

My thoughts about this game. *Not Spoiler Story*

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 12, 2012

The monsters on level 1 zones. They are not much challenging like in Dragon Warrior I on Gameboy Color or Nintendo I. At that moment, I thought the game is not challenging but the difficulty pays up on the 3rd boss. They did this easier difficulty on the beginning so that I can move on to a new mission and story. It is not that bad, yes? Yes, the real diffuculty and fun starts as you finish the quests. I read some reviews in gamespot from editor's reviews, they contain some con and errors too. They as well don't see things the pros and advantage of the game. Let's say the editor review says about con, "too easy" but the story pays up in the beginning and another mistake about reviews that the beginning they say "too easy", but the story is entertaining to play and for beginners to learn the controls/basics that pays up for it. Another con they say about the save system. The reason they add this because of the church and priest servicing you to play music church while saving the game. Two words for them, religion haters. This is how rude their reviews are. Also, it becomes harder once you able to move on. I was surprised that there was deduction puzzles as well. I was challenged there, too. The grind part is what makes Dragon Warrior VI Dragon Warrior I. The funniest part as you grind there, you won't notice you are gaining levels due to puzzles in dungeons. The game has tricks to make you not feel bored from grinding. Yes, this is how amazing this game is. This is my short review for contradicting Editors Reviews in Gamespot. This game deserves 9.0 for some reason, the monsters, story and magic/skills/attack effects looks lively and better in Nintendo DS.

Never been a fan of Dragon Warrior games, but Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 really turned me around on this series. So I decided to grab up the DS trilogy. Apprehensive at first since so many DQ fans were saying this was the worst of the trilogy, I ended up liking VI better than V. In Heavenly Bride you start out as a kid having baby adventures. It can be really amusing at times but ultimately you're just waiting to grow up so the real game can begin.

Realms of Revelation is more straightforward with a quick pace almost reminiscent of Chrono Trigger. The moment you start a new game, DQVI throws you right into the deep end. You don't have to wait for this game to define what you're doing here. Also the shifting between the dream world and real world was done to great and often humorous effect. I see too many reviewers downplay that. This game is funny. I've played about half of the Dragon Quest games now and this one is second only to DQVIII.

There is one thing I have to gripe about (aside from the typical JRPG end boss) is the class system. At some point you choose classes. Your character level and class level are separate. Classes will level up depending on how many battles you fight, not XP. Problem is the game won't tell you when you're awarded points or not and when the game deems your character level too high for an area, you won't get any points toward your class level at all. This can cause a problem that snowballs on you if you decide to grind in order to beat a tough boss. My only advice would be to avoid grinding once you gain classes, up until the last boss. Then you can grind away. Go nuts.

Dragon Quest yay!

If you have a DS and enjoy role playing then you should have the Dragon Quest games. Unfortunately number IV which I think is the best of them all, had the vast majority of its dialogue removed. The fan outcry was obviously heard because that was restored for V and VI. This game does a twist on some typical features you're familiar with in these settings, the dream/real world is similar to but different enough from the Link to the Past's Light/Dark world. This one is thought provoking, and if you know of a really simple quirk then advancing your characters job classes isn't difficult, only time consuming - but nowhere near as torturous as Final Fantasy V and Final Fantasy Tactics.

I've waited a long time to play this game since it wasn't released in the west when I was a kid. I hadn't realized until recently that it got remade for the DS, so I was happy to find an affordable copy. It arrived quick and in good condition, and I've been very happy playing it ever since! I just wish it wasn't so hard to find a copy that comes with its box.

Good game, but long at times, with a few obscure and boring sections that would require extensive amounts of gameplay.

Dragon Quest VI is a great game. I've clocked over seventy hours and I'm not finished yet - where else can you get so much entertainment for so little money?
