As a child in the US, we had Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 on NES (Dragon Quest 1 and2), so they've always been very important to me. When I was a child, I sometimes imagined being the Princess of Moonbrooke. 🐕
I like to imagine Naru, being a kid in the 80s and a teenager in the 90s, might've grown up with a Famicom (or "Fami Fami" as they call it in Codename Sailor V) and played DQ2 too.
I reimagined the Final Fantasy 5 party members as FF1 NES style sprites! I also edited a battle scene from FF1 to see how theyd look in a battle. This was honestly fun to do!
Snagged this bad boy off FB marketplace! Sometimes you get some great deals when you least expect it. Practically brand new, previous owner purchased it in Japan 20 years ago and has not played it much.
