  • We went to Dragon Quest Island!
    This new area in Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island opened only yesterday (May 15th 2021)!
    As a fan of Dragon Quest I’ve really been looking forward to this one. Even if you aren’t a fan I absolutely recommend this place!
    We had so much fun doing quests around the town, fighting monsters in the forest and doing boss battles!!
    The restaurant had delicious food and the gift shop had all kinds of adorable slime merch.
    We weren’t allowed to film the boss battles and some of the videos related to the quests. I also didn’t want to upload the answers to the quests so I didn’t show everything around the town.
    I hope you enjoyed this video and thank you so much for watching!
    For more info: nijigennomori....
    My instagrams are @kelseadyerr & @kelseas.art ✨

    I'm so impressed that they offer a full English experience, and it's been properly translated with all the quirky English puns as well! They're obviously expecting lots of international tourists. Meanwhile... new Dragon Quest theme park in Japan and there's hardly anyone there. What the--??

    @gamerprince-tl5hg Год назад +3

    This is insane. It's so meticulously designed to play and feel like an RPG. It seems like those enemies you can battle can actually kill one ur party members if you're not high level enough. So its not like you can just waltz in and fight whatever you want. You also need good equipment as well which you get by receiving gold by completing quests.
    Further establishing that Dragon Quest is THE JRPG. And a series that actually cares about being one first and foremost, unlike FF which focuses so much on telling a cinematic story.

      It makes sense for the DQ Overture theme to play at the front entrance.
