Four hours? That's all? When I get a new game I spend about 10 hours on it.
Sure, Dragon Quest is fun... the originals were, anyway. After 4, things went downhill. Too much reliance on story, and the gameplay never really evolved like you'd expect a series to. In particular Dragon Quest 7 on the PlayStation was pretty much garbage. I'd rather not try Dragon Quest 9 as a result of my experiences with that one.
