Dragon Warrior 4

Taking a look through the last Nintendo Power, I was curious to see what games on their 285 best games ever list I haven't played yet. Looks like I'm missing out on some great Dragon Warrior action. Only beat the first and never played the next 3, Dragon Warrior 4 comes in at 125 on their list and noticed it has a 92% rating! Who can fill me in on the story/games after the first one? I assume it's worth picking up being one of the best games of all time and the first one was easily a 4/5 for me.

I have it. It was far, far better than the first one. It has a great storyline with a sort of reverse-branching structure to it. (Multiple storylines that all converge towards the end.) It was a lot of fun, and each branch plays out very differently from the others. In one you even play as a merchant and can choose to lounge around selling stuff at your shop if you want.

Better than the first? Man I'm not one to dive into old RPG's but Dragon Warrior was my first experience with the genre and left a permanent positive impression on me. I'd probably just spend all my time as the merchant selling alcohol to minors. I've saved the world a million times over. It's time to make some money! No seriously though, the branching story lines sounds cool.

Man the first Dragon Warrior was rough... lol
