    Serious question: What makes Dragon Quest special? I’ve played turn based RPGs from that era and there never really seems to be any distinguishing characteristics between them

      It’s comfort food. Never pushing the envelope much, but always high quality.

      Note that the first game came out in 1986. These remakes will look great and put some modern conveniences on… But it will still be a game from 1986. If you want a modern DQ then 11 is great.
