Dragon Quest 4 is refreshing to play

I just recently modded my 3DS so I can finally play the Dragon Quest games that released on the DS. I am starting chronologically with Dragon Quest IV, which I heard has a killer story. After putting so many hours into Persona 5 with so many things to try to balance in that game with your time, it is refreshing to play a simple RPG with a narrow focus. 

I finished chapter 3 last night and so far I've liked each character and the story arcs that they have. Each chapter has a separate character with their own journey. It is relaxing to play battles and grind for gear and levels while I'm watching YouTube, until I want to progress in the story. I am looking forward to see what happens when (hopefully) all the characters meet each other!
