I do. So yeah, totally. There's no contradiction there at all.
I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

I am guessing he got his turn like two decades ago. Honestly reading about people who have so much free time that they are deliberately playing these old games is depressing as hell to me.
I don't think he's depressed that people actually play old games, he's depressed that he doesn't have nearly as much free time as he used to. I totally get that, Id play more older games if I had more overall time to play. I'd prefer to play modernized versions of older games though.
So my memory of Dragon Warrior is that it was a LONG HARD boring grind back in the day. Like longest game I've ever played from some reason .
But with my experience playing newer games, anything from Final Fantasy VI and CT to FF7, Fallout 3, etc spending hundreds of hours on a "perfect savefile", Dragon Warrior is nothing.
Results of a hardcore RPG veteran: 2 days after picking it up, level 30, best gear and max stats.
Hah, indeed. My memory of US Final Fantasy I was as some ending death machine grind, but it's actually a fairly easy game. I remember getting to level 20 in Dragon Warrior with substantial ease, and then it gets hard. I also remember getting my ass kicked by a metallic slime.
15-20 is a constant 3k per level and 21-30 is 5k per level. So time to get to 30 is same as time to get to 21. And enemies don't give less experience when you out level them, so its actually an extremely easy and consistant grind.
Most people attempt to grind metal slimes for 110 experience highest in game I think, but they run so often its actually better exp fighting the axe knight over and over for 54 experience. You can kill him more than twice as fast as any enemy in the game giving double the experience of the top exp giving monsters in the game (metal slimes, red dragon, etc) Plus he spawns always upon moving into the same square (no aimless wandering with no encounters and no random annoying or lesser enemies to waste time on) and you can kill him in 1-2 hits at that level vs 4 hits required for metal slime, not including high miss rate and escapes. Thus Axe Knight is THE best experience grind in the game.
Cheap trick is use Repel + walk around in Erdricks Armour = complete heal for 2MP, and you can grind for hours without going back to town.
Now I remember why I never beat that game.
FFII was such a huge step forward....no grinding necessary.
You realize no one has any idea wtf you're talking about, right?
