Dragon Quest: Like or loathe?

2 hours? Look, here's what you do. You go to a place where the enemies give good exp, then just spam Yangus's Whistle.

yes, but when your at that point in the game where your levelling up for (SPOILER)the Dragovian Trials, and you're trying to fight metal slimes, metal king slimes and liquid metal slimes, 3 levels can take 2 hours.

Its ridiculous. The tediousness does take some of the enjoyment out of the game.

Or maybe these whippersnappers are just lazy...meh.

WOW U MST B LIEK A DRGN QUST 8 VETERAN WOW

:rolleyes2

"It's tradition" isn't a good reason to hold onto a cumbersome mechanic from the 8-bit era.

Yes. Being able to save on the world map (i.e. on that isolated mountain top near Rydon's Tower, for instance) would have made things much more enjoyable.

Despite the tediousness, I still really enjoyed the game. Although, I did postpone my quest at one point, due to the tediousness, and went back to FFVII, VIII and X.
