Lost Save File

Squaresoft was my favorite companies back in my SNES days. Opened the game tonight and the game loaded me about two hours behind in my play. With $10 game like this from a great company I would have expected better,no excellence. This type of game also doesn't motivate you to grind all those levels over again. Cmon Square! You used to be my go-to, my homey. Crono Trigger changed my life. A masterpiece. This was my first Dragon Quest too! Maybe you guys are active on here and you can help a brother out. Promise to buy another Square title of you do.

Deleted my save data

I just made it to the area where you need to use the wrecking ball and found my data was deleted. Please Square Enix fix this before it deletes a file where I am much later into the game

The roots of the iconic series you can take with you

I’ve never played this on an NES, but having played the OG Dragon Quest here on iOS, it was every bit worth the grab on sale. So you’re this knight of all trades, wants to be a hero after your father, set to battle yet another demon overlord—or rather, the first one ever. Play as a girl for some extra laughs no matter what you yourself identity as. You won’t regret it. If you’re a fan of Dragon Quest, it’s the same lotta grind for little money that will keep you battling for hours or just frustrate you to death. But it’s worth it for the variety of jobs your allies can take on. My only issue thus far is that the graphics look incredibly blocky on high-res displays. To that end, DQIII could use a touch-up from one of its earlier ports. But as I’ve said, it’s worth the pickup.

Major issue

The only I had was that I could not save my game onto Game Center and transfer the data to another phone when I upgrade my phones. RIP to all that grind.

DQ good

Unplayable

The grinding needed to get through this game makes it unplayable. Over 20 hours of just grinding and I’m still getting smashed by one particular encounter. Don’t waste your time or money on this piece of crap

Love the game but...

Love this game, the controls are decent but my game isn’t saving. I don’t know why. I save at the castle but when I come back to load the game it’s blank. I would really like this to be fixed.

So good

I just finished this and on a high from such a fantastic ending. This game is a joy from beginning to end, we'll balanced, good auto combat AI that saves you tons of time. Great world and characters but the best part is that this is the perfect evolution of the first 3 games. If you have no intention of playing 1 and 2 just play this one but if you really want the full experience definitely play 1,2 and 3 in order. I'm telling you it's worth it. But this is also just a great game on it's own if you never play the others and I don't recommend playing this one first either. @squareenix please release Dragon Quest VII 7 to us in English markets on mobile.

Feels phoned in.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but this game just feels really lazy. I played through DQs 1 and 2 and loved them, even though there was some monotony. But in 3 right off the bat was disappointed- you just go to the party store and roll up some random characters? What’s the story in that? I’m skipping this one and moving on to # 4.
