>sprites (for both the hero and NPCs) can now face different direction

>save system no longer requires you to write down a huge password
>water tiles in the NES version have a big of beach sand where they meet the coast (pic related)
>there was an easter egg in the Japanese version where getting the infamous "bad end" gave you a password to start a "new game+". And by "new game+", I mean "same as the normal game, except your stats are always about one level lower than they'd normally be" (so at level 4, you'd be about as strong as level 3 normally is)

Only another 15 of these guys to kill and we upgrade to level 13.

When I was a kid I loved dragon warrior for NES. Now as an adult I want to make my own RPG in the spirit of dragon warrior but with more modern story telling. Do you think a game like that would have an audience today? Of course, the graphics would be "shit" but I would focus more on the story and gameplay.

Just 18 more of them and we reach Level 13.
