The game was simple and short -- too simple and short to be honest -- so it was easy to beat. In the end there were only a few viable abilities and a few viable classes in the game, meaning the game could be played practically blindfolded. The biggest benefit of the game was getting to look at the pretty scenery and listen to the pretty music, and getting to experience a very nostalgic, classic, trope-filled game. But the difference in quality between this and DQ XI is light years.
Perhaps the biggest benefit to DQ 3 is the remixed version of 'Unknown World' they composed with the most beautiful orchestral music as opposed to the NES synthesizer beeps which was my previous copy of the song. The song is also over twice as long in DQ 3 as it was in the original, so the song is magnitudes better this way. I quickly upgraded my music hall of fame to reflect this version of the song as opposed to the previous one.
Also today marked the ending theme to the entire Gun Gale Online anime, 'Oh UnHappy Day,' by ReoNa, which was also good enough to enter my music hall of fame. The full version has an annoying church chorus segment which I eliminated with my Audacity music editor, but other than that the song is great. To add it in while keeping my pristine 5,500 songs, I merged 'Battle' and 'Battle's End' from Xenosaga Episode 1 into one song. This is something I wanted to do anyway, because the two songs are actually meant to be played sequentially together, and 'Battle's End' was too short to stand on its own as a separate song to begin with. I'd been intentionally turning a blind eye to the issue because I had no solution to it, but now that Unhappy Day is here the time to act had come.
Indiana was no match for Notre Dame, but the Playoff rolls on. Soon we'll see three more exciting matches, all thanks to the new format.
