As of 2023, I believe this port is very good.

[Siroldas]

Saw a lot of comparisons between this version and SNES + DS ones, for damn sure I'd prefer playing this one over any other.

Kinda crazy this port is getting hate still, I almost didn't buy it after reading some posts here but really glad that I did, 7 hours so far in the game and it didn't crash once on as well.

Good to know. Thanks!

I never trust rando reviews. The Internet thinks it's funny to hate everything and blow the tiniest things way out of proportion. The people who get paid to do it do a way better job, as long as you understand PR speak. For example "a little grindy" means months of grinding.

There are some kinda valid points but damn people seem 2 exaggerate waaay too much here IMO.

This game supporting proper widescreen alone is more than enough to make it the best version to me.

It's okay now, but it certainly wasn't at launch. lmao

I still hate the mobile-ish controls and that they cut content from the DS version that its based on, but it's whatever.

Its not proper widescreen. It just zooms in and cuts off the top and bottom giving you less total image on screen. Any of the 4:3 resolutions lets you see more of whats going on.

The game is a bit zoomed it but some parts for damn sure were designed for 4:3, and they look pretty damn good here, It really is like the game was designed like this in the 1st place.

11 hours in so far and never once I saw 4:3 screens so far, kinda insane from SE of all companies they put an effort to into properly drawing extended graphics for the parts that were only ever designed for 4:3.

Not the best example but it's early game.

Didn't they only cut the minigame thingy?
I heart the extra ending is still there, don't wanna read about it as I'm close to beating the game I think.

I will after am done with my 1st run.

I think if you don't have nostalgia for the SNES and DS versions and aren't bothered by visual bugs like jittery sprites when moving diagonally, screen tearing, as well as visually unappealing changes to the UI, this port will be just fine for you.

I don't

Jittery sprites should really be fixed it's probably the biggest issue ATM, I got used to it pretty fast but after testing the SNES it is a lot better if it doesn't jitter.

As for screen tearing I never had any screen tearing so far at all, I notice these things right away.

UI Both got ups and downs, personally prefer the new one overall though for people who didn't play the SNES version would probably like this one as well, would've been nice to have some options like the lighting text instead of the thunder icon and being able to change the window color but overall it's pretty good and not terrible as I've read in these forums :/

I have played both snes and mobile. I would say that the UI here on steam is the best one I have seen so far. I have also played the PS1 version. I would still say that the steam version is the best UI version.

[sumolagann]

the colors are ds colors, which are bad.

I agree with op. This one is a decent port now, but not a 1 to 1 comparision to the one on snes sadly. Still, at least we have this on pc. I am still waiting for Dragon Quest and Xenoblade games to come to pc also.

I sure do hope DQ games gets FF PR treatment or something better, as for Xenoblade on PC as of now that's impossible unless Nintendo changes their mind, which is nearly an impossible task as of today.

Possibly. According to David on this youtube channel, alot of dragon quest games are being remade. Let's hope they come to pc:
