I've loved every single DQ game I've played, but this one...fell short in my opinion. Doesn't help that once you get the ship you're essentially playing a guessing game of where to go next since none of your party can speak and nobody gives you any clues. Oh, and it's absurdly easy compared to past games in the series. I gave up after beating Sharmana. VIII is the best DQ in my mind, so it was a tough act to follow.
