philsov 05/27/21 12:44:32 PM #13:	8 is peak, imo. The lack of class system kinda sucks for replay, but the weapon specialization helps with that; you're still in the Fighter-Hero-Priest-Mage template more or less. Runners up are 4 (DS version), 5, and 9, for me. 7 is an absolute slog. Great premise, but needs like half of the vignettes/islands. --- Remember that I won't rest, 'til we share the same tense Just know, to me, you're better late than never again. <cite>philsov posted [p:954358818] in What are t...

I see and appreciate what you did there. =) i think most people just assume it's a typo. i love DW7. or maybe, i love the idea of DW7. it was one of my favorites when i had time to play super dense JRPGs. probably third in genre, behind FF6 and Star Ocean 2. I literally have only one complaint: the job system needed to be introduced a lot sooner than it was. but, at the same time, i can't even begin to consider playing it again. where some of the comparable games of its era have gotten multiple full playthroughs, i think i've only ever wanted to go through it again once, and i quickly talked myself out of it. --- Boom!
