just wait until you play dq9 and 11, but wait for the superior 11 version and actually buy it
No worries bud I may pirate but I only do it for some old shit and buy what I pirated and liked all the time. This one is a ps2 emulation.
>not playing dq5
idiot and pleb
Also play V
It's on the list now! First dragons quest game so just started with one of the best rated ps2 ones.
Any other suggestions? Haven't decided what order to play them in at all yet.
III, XI, I
1 holds up if you play the SNES or GBC version because it's short and sweet.
3 is one of the most replayable JRPGs ever made and benefits from you having played 1 and 2 beforehand.
4 is one of the first narrative driven JRPGs and hops between protagonists.
7 is basically 40 small games in one package.
11 is essentially 8-2 in design philosophy.
2 is kind of bad and 6 is horribly generic and unmemirable, they're the only ones I wouldn't recommend playing if you're hungry for more DQ.
is xi the newest one? a real poor fag so i'll have to wait on that one but wrote them down.
It came out in English last year, but it's getting a Switch port with bonus content so even mommy's allowance should be enough.
If you play it, turn on the Stronger Monsters option for ball busting combat that requires actual strategy.
VII is the best one but only true patricians can enjoy it.
Don't have a switch. Don't have any of the new consoles. Sweet computer though.
You're in luck, it's on PC!
So buy, fag.

I'm about halfway through 5 and I think it's very overrated. I enjoyed 7, 8 and 11 a lot more.
Welcome to DQ, OP!
You're past the hardest part: picking up your first DQ game. It's all easy from here. Youre about to learn why this series is so well loved and why it's so unfairly criticized by people who have never played it.
You picked a great one to start with, too. I hope you enjoy it!
Thanks! Though I will say I think the character design is what might put some people off but that's just style nothing else.

You will like dragon quest monsters and dragon quest rocket slime

Honestly, if you like 8, as long as you don't mind older games, you will like most of them. 5, 3, and 4 being my personal favorites.
Didnt see anyone say it to this post, I recomend IX personally.
I keked so fucking hard when I first saw this enemy and his name!
advice taken. This is gonna be a long road.
9 is different from most other dq games but its still super fun
how is it different?
it was made with local multiplayer in mind, you make your own character, and overall slightly different feel from most mainline titles
still my favorite but im really liking dqx so far
I have only played dragon quest monsters joker and loved it. I know the rest of the series isn't like it but Id like to play them anyways. Any recommendations for switch or pc?
