Started playing the Dragon Quest 2D HD remakes. Thoughts so far: I am disappointed that the game gave me a ghost instead of a slime as the first enemy (also, why are the slimes now gendered?) and I'm tempted to start over at the highest difficulty since I seem to want to play this more cautiously than normal difficulty warrants (I'm too used to NES Dragon Warrior, I guess). I do like a lot of the quality of life improvements and I adore the orchestral music.
