I have such strong feelings about this series from my childhood that my I got the chills (and literal goosebumps) as soon as this music started playing. Amazing!
One of the true classics of videogaming - and a sorely underrated one here in the USA compared to Mario, Zelda, Final Fantasy, and other musical gems... but the DQ Overture is upliftingly addictive.
@browncoatkevin truly. LUCKILY, nintendo has invested in a part of dragon quest, because they have heard our complaints about how Dragon Quest is underrated, thus, they plan to advertise it more in america now because they think it deserves more attention. (thats what i heard anyway)
I can't complain about that - DQIV and V were fairly heavily-promoted for the DS, and all signs point to the couple-months-out DQIX as also being well-advertised. There's a reason it's the top RPG series in Japan - it's had a solid formula that it never subtracts any of the core elements from, though only 3, 6, 7, and 9 have had the class-changing system, it wasn't put 4, 5, or 8 because the games and stories didn't need that extra flourish.
@browncoatkevin currently im playing 8. Its truly an amazing RPG, 9 seems to follow after it pretty closely, but, this is not odd because all the dragon quest games follow after one another, if anyone is wondering, Dragon Quest 9 is coming out on July 11th.
I was making a joke about the quality of the footage being transferred. The Opacity seems to be dropped or something. Why are you referring to the first game, when all of the music from this series is from Dragon Quest IV, which was released in 1990 in Japan and '92 in U.S.?

Jeez, when was this filmed? Amazing music, but the game came out in 1990 - not 1970.
