I'm just about to challenge Estark, so I consider the game essentially beaten at this point. All in all I agree with how everyone is claiming this to be the greatest DraQue of all time; save for the awful monster recruitment system. It's utter appaling and needlessly archaic; "a one in 64 chance of a Great Dragon joing you with aboslutly no chance of improving the odds?" **** this! Instead of wasting their time re-tooling everyone's personality why couldn't the change the function of monster munchies to raise the chances of them joining?
Other than this valid complaint I can honestly say that this is the best Dragon Quest that I've played, and will probably remain my favorite, next to II.
