How about we talk about some Dragon Quest Mommies instead?
He cute
Which one?
How would it feel to fuck a slime?
Like titfucking a roastie
Only played DQ5. It was fun. I like these stories that span across generations. My favorite game is probably FE4.
About to start DQIII for the first time, name my female protagonist for me.
Luna
play 8 my dude
Fair enough
I just started on DQ 2 and so far I'm liking it more than the first, mostly because there are multiple party members.
Enjoy that feeling while it lasts.
How far are you in it? While slightly annoying everything honestly goes to shit once the boat hits. Since the game does from having a direction to "fuck you explore the world and search every tile just in case"
I'm not sure how I feel about DQ threads becoming more common.
It was similarly nice with Xenoblade at first after Shulk's announcement for Smash, but that fanbase quickly devolved to one of the most cancerous and shitflinging groups on Yea Forums.
Same thing happened with Monster Hunter, 4U made the threads more frequent and then World made the fanbase obnoxious as fuck as well.
Think the issue there is the series went to shit. Xenoblade X was fun for me but fucking hell Xenoblade 2 was fucking awful to me.
Monster Hunter was great but World made me not really care much for the series (GU however is great).
Dragon Quest however is a series that always knew what it was and kept the series from going to shit.
I love Veronica
So when does 11 pick up momentum? Just got Serena and Veronika, has been slow but enjoyable so far.
I love Sages so much
>sample
Not that far. I just finished going to the first ruined castle.
Fire Emblem had pretty nice threads and a vg before 13. I played a lot with v and vg in 4u, and it was still good threads and such, but World changed that.
Playing 4U with Yea Forums is some of the most fun I've had here outside of E3.
Only things that come close are risk of rain threads and the mario royale threads going on right now.

I'm playing DQ1 on mobile. I found the lyre in Galen's grave and showed it to the old guy at the sanctuary, now I'm trying to grind for gold and exp so I can beat the Dragon in the cave north of Rimuldar. I tried going to the town way down South but the monsters destroy me. Am I doing alright?
Sample Sage butt
Sounds alright to me.
Female Warrior
I'm just gonna post some more Sage rumps
This is my favorite Sage stump
My party was
Male Hero
Fem Warrior
Fem Priest -> Sage
Fem Jester (the whole game)
The artist really captured that thousand-mile-stare.
Not using FemHero, shameful. She is a cutie
But I want male hero with a female harem.
With Male Erdrick as a shota of course.
After you leave Hotto. The game ramps up a bit in difficulty and you meet the best character.
Thing is, my dude, this is Erdirck story. Not the story of some girl who got raped so hard she saved the world (or so ShindoL says the story goes with FemHero).
In all seriousness, If you come from Dragon Quest 1 it doesn't make much sense that the MC is a female.
soft
>playing anything, but lewd erdrick and 3 sexy girls.
I love how the best part is that a perverted personality gives the MC huge stat bonuses.
>lewd male hero and 1 male companion (cuck)
>sexy martial artist and sexy jester (then sage)
>inserting NTR in any shape or form.
Better be a ShotaHero
FemHero is cute, dosn't matter how she saves the world, just that she saves it
You say that, while posting that artist user.
Simple fact of life is that for every winner there has to be a loser at some point.
Like blue berry jello
Martial artists is cute.
I don't remember all the DQ doujins, user. I know theres a lot of wierd stuff, but don't remember that doujin
Really cute
I don't even remmember the artists name, but I look at how the faces are drawn and I know full well it's the guy who likes to do mindbreaking purity defiling shit.
Yes but you can be gracious in victory. Keep the love that you share with your harem private.
Don't haul a man around and make him watch you fuck them.
what's the best platform to play the first few games on?
The series didn’t decrease in quality that much. The art style was simply raped. If you like anime or can at least tolerate it then it’s still great. If not go back to X.
You don't tell me what to do.
>literal super saiyan
Really, Toriyama?
what do you mean by first few games? 1-3? SNES Emulated.
SNES, GBC, or mobile for 1
GBC or mobile for 2
SNES or GBC for 3
1 - Mobile
2 - Mobile
3 - Game Boy Color
Super Famicom for the first three.
4, 5, and 6 are best on the DS. 9 is only available on the DS
7 on the 3DS cut a lot if the fat from thr PSX original. And 8 on the 3DS beats it's PS2 counterpart for the sole fact you can marry Jessica.
those animations were all just very DBZesque
Notice how all those series got popularity and dropped the ball with their normie games
I like all the new DQ fans. It means we might get cool shit here since more people are interested in DQ. And the quality of DQ11 had my jaw on the floor. Their team is hitting home runs.
Kek
WHERE'S THE NEXT DQM
It's okay, his relationship with other in the party on professional level.
SOON
>Healslime become human and left him
What a fag
Fuck DQ
>go to save game
Mmm yes my child saving, the game is being saved. Mmm yes praise the gods... And the earth for this save mmm yes the saving is commencing by the grace of god mmm yes the game is being saved, much like your soul will benbt god.. Mmm yes it is saved praise ve to god yesss the game had been saved mmm yes hold on we need another dialog box with slow text before you leave mmm yes please thanl god for this save mm yes indeed god bless mm yes.
He told you outright he wanted to become human. I belive his goal was to "fuck bitches" or something.
Where are these from?
You know despite the lack of real party members and the awkward multiplayer shit, I really liked DQ9.
I played DQ4 on mobile many years ago, but my phone died, and cloud save didn't work, which I found out later. I started up a new game a year or two ago, but kinda lost interest. I reached Femiscyra. I think I've collected the chosen armor, or at least most of it. Is it much left of the game?
Surely now it would be localized, right?
this one is my favorite
Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory
It's my most played DQ game and I only played 52min of multiplayer. I really love it and multiplayer was never really needed for me to enjoy it.
So who's canonically the strongest Hero? I know the DQ2 Hero is at least close to bottom tier because he's the only one who can't use magic
Nice joke haha
>Still haven't beat part 3 of DQ11
I just am not motivated enough... the story was good where it was at bros. Why did they gotta ruin it?
>not Disco Stew
I feel Monster Stampede did it better
I remember plenty of xenoblades before shulk's inclusion, I just wasn't reading the threads at the time.
nothing is more based than Veronica cunny.
They were relatively small time with 1 and got a little more common with X due to potatochan and the localization, but it wasn't until smash and XB2 that they really blew up.
My vote goes to 9 since he defeats Corvus, who defeated the Almighty while being chained up like 7 or 8 floors underground for a few hundred years. I really think Corvus is underrated in terms of power level. He did something pretty crazy. I mean even Orgodemir has to wage an entire war and was like sealed away in the process. Corvus just used the power of anger to just shoot some laser beams into the heavens to defeat the Almighty and then reanimated an empire. That's pretty strong if you ask me. 11 could also be up there since he defeats Calasmos and that seems like some cosmic ancient evil since you fight it in what seems like space.
I hope S fixes that a bit, although I really don't think like it will.
I feel like Disco Stew really captures the silliness of DQ so I like it more. Plus I think Stella is entertaining.
Depends. What Zenithian equipment do you have and have you been to diabolical hall?
this literally never happened
the real problem is when you mash A after greeting him to skip "what can I do for you my child" it goes straight into Confession, happens every time I need resurrection or rectification.
If you are talking about Xenoblade 2 fuck that gatcha bullshit. I don't care if it went anime or not I just hate how stupid the whole blade system.
That's pretty close to the end, if you don't already have all the gear you should be able to get to all the pieces by now IIRC.
Feel the worse is mashing cancel while talking by mistake so the game goes to the title screen.
>I just hate how stupid the whole blade system.
I have many problems with Xeno2 and this is my biggest one. Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
Is 9 the only one that loops you through that dialogue until you say you're not saving but going to continue playing instead of going back to title?
>NES version
Jesus Christ, what are you doing??
There's not a whole lot wrong with the NES version of DQ3. It's slightly more grindy and lack of a map but it's 100% enjoyable. Same goes with DQ4 NES (honestly I rather play that version over the DS/mobile version)
>Just got the boat in DQ2
Just following a guide since I suffer through DQ2 on GBC about 20 years ago (fuck me has it been that long) so I have little time to deal with it's bullshit but can't wait to play it just to get to DQ3. Hopefully finish by Friday and just enjoy the other games.
I finally beat DQ8 and married jessica
I gave up on doing the memories lane. I got to Leopold and just got tired of getting one shotted when most of my team was late to mid 90s in their levels and figured if i was getting this decimated by fucking leopold, then what the fucks gonna happen when i go against dhoulmagus, jessica, and fucking Estark. figured I got my extra story, I dont have the patience to play anymore and deal with this shit
I don't hate accents. Post DQ4DS they handled it fine. It's just DQ4DS goes so fucking overboard it's just not fun to walk around talking to NPC. Which is pretty bad since that's kind of a big thing with Dragon Quest.
Played 7 and only seven despite everyone saying it would scare me away. Loved all bajillion hours. What next
>I finally beat DQ8 and married jessica
Who /theatrhythm/ here
Just hacked my new New 3DS to play it again.
i wanted to do something different and do the new content and not the stuff that's expected of by most
I never really got the DQ8 hype, is it just a lot of peoples first DQ game or something?
Both are based and redpilled.
I always go with the NES version of IV because of the remake accents, heck right now i even trying to learn Japanese just so i can play the PSONE remake.
If people is interested on playing the NES version i recommend to use a game shark code to allow the player picking the moves of the characters, the code is YYEXVTGE, use the code after playing the game as the developers intended because they become quite different experiences.
ahhhhhhhhhhh few more weeks
It really is annoying since DQ4 on NES back when I played it as a kid was one of my favorite. So I was super excited for the DS remake. Only for the game to just be a chore to play because of that. Would love to learn Japanese for that but feel I'm way too old to do that. Plus there's not a whole lot of games that are only stuck in Japan that I can't enjoy. Or at least my backlog is too long to even consider taking at least 2 years just to get the basic of Dragon Quest.
It was the first Dragon Quest game since the original that actually got a modicum of marketing in the West.
Also, it was the first game in the series that was released in Europe.
DQ8 is a good game but it isn't the best despite what some fucks here might say.
DQ11 was fucking amazing though
male hero, female monk, female priest. male thief
Male Hero, female Sage, female Warrior, and female Fighter of course
Harem of strength and healing
I don't think DQ8 is the best DQ game, but it was one my favorite games for a long time due to nostalgia. That does play a part in me enjoying a game.
R8 and H8 my list
Female Hero
Female Warrior -> Sage
Female Priest -> Warrior
Female Mage -> Fighter
I've only played and beat 11, 8, 1, 2, 3, and a big chunk of 9 so i can't say much but I can fucking agree that 11 belongs in that S rank and when S releases it'll only get even stronger.
9 was very fun from what i remember, creating your own party from scratch was fun and why i liked III so much, and 8 not being in S and in A I also agree with
>DQ 6 below 1 and 2
do you not realize how hypocritical your post is.
DQ 11 is a good game but it isnt the best despite what some fucks (you) here might say
its not great series its not even mediocre
franchise series
just 2 or 3 fine games which is nothing
>getting with Revenge McTits and leaving your childhood friend to marry a pompous jackass
For what purpose?
yeah I'm aware, fuck you goddamn fuck, i've played and beat both, 11 is the superior one and anyone who thinks otherwise is just nostalgia-fagging or its their personal favorite for their own reasons and that's okay!
S: DQ 3, 4, 5, and 7 (it's honestly my favorite DQ game)
A: DQ 8 and 11
B: DQ 1 and 6
C: DQ 2
Never touched 9 (I like my DQ games a pure single player JRPG so it never appealed to me) and 10 (never ever)
DQ8 is just a well made JRPG and at the time what DQ8 did with it's big open world in beautiful 3D was incredible. But if you try comparing DQ8 with the other games in the series it's easy to put it lower.
Female Mage, please post more.
>VI that low
VI is the best 2d DQ
even better than V
IV, VII and IX are the worst DQs
the childhood friend thing is overdone and i got stuck with gemma in XI so I'm doing what I want now
Atleast 2 big reasons
Fighter, Sage, Hero.
Yeah 11 blew me away. Damn good game and if not for 9, it would be my fav DQ game. I love roleplaying and I'm getting into DnD character making so my love for DQ9 is getting stronger each and every day. I'm playing it right now actually.
I would rather play 1 and 2 again than go back to 6, which is why 6 is so far down. It's just so boring and tedious to me.
>Never touched 9 (I like my DQ games a pure single player JRPG so it never appealed to me)
I only played 52 minutes of multiplayer in DQ9. I have over 250 hours in DQ9 across multiple save files over the years (bought it on release and then I put a copy of it on flash carts a year later) all single player. You don't really need friends to enjoy it. It's like 3 in that you make your own party members. Also it has the best class system in all of DQ imo.
You are entitled to your own very unique opinions.
Is DQ I + II on the GBC worth investing in? I asked in a thread yesterday, but didn’t really get a response. Also post boys.
This gave me a good laugh, thanks user.
also yes this is my other reason
So which one did you choose?
why don't you just get DQ 1 and II on your phone? the ports really weren't bad at all. lots of people get annoyed with the olde english talk but I managed just fine.
They are worth investing into, but the mobile versions have all the same stuff and they look and sound better.
Debora since I chose the other brides in the SNES version. Debora was the best since she was the most entertaining, and yeah I did make backup saves and marry the other wives in the DS version after Debora so I could see their new party chats too. Debora still wins for me.
Deborah.
Once I married her I never looked back.
Daily reminder that if you bought DQ11 on PlayStation or Steam you got scammed.
Just finished 5 again and chose Debora for the first time, and loved every second of her. The kids with black hair look great too.
Nah, i'm glad I played it, I fell in love with it and it brought back my interest in DQ. Now I've been playing through the entire series and it's become one of my favorite game series. Just finished 8 after beating 1,2, and 3. gonna move onto 4 soon.
stay bitter cunt
Bianca, of course. Not only was Flora/Nera kinda generic, she had another guy crushing on her and I didn't want to cuck him. Deborah sounds like a bitch.
>REMEMBER GHOST HUNTING
I've only played the PS2 fan translation, she barely talks about it in that version.
I mean I was planning on replaying all of DQ11 anyways on Switch. I have the Steam version which I modded to play the orchestrated version so it's not that bad for me. Unlike PS4 owners.
Bianca on the first playthrough because she's "canon".
I tried going with Nera on my second playthrough but she seemed boring and overly sweet.
Debora for every time after that.
>Deborah sounds like a bitch.
Her bitchy bantz are half of the fun though.
Which DQ has best romance
>Would love to learn Japanese for that but feel I'm way too old to do that.
It's never too late user, you just need to have an active interest in learning the language and you will be able to do it.
DQV.
You and your waifu go ghostbusting, it's great
shit, I bet that's the bridge with the high level monsters on the other side when you're just starting out
DQ11's was fucking awful and I hope they add to it in S. It was actually kind of insulting, they might as well not have had the option for marriage to begin with, would've made no difference
>tfw when I just started DQ2 and I went the wrong way multiple times and got decimated by high level groups of monsters
The beginning of that game was so goddamn rough
Stay a paypig corporate apologist. Don't forget to preorder your Switch copy!
I wish SquareEnix would just go full Nintendo exclusive with Dragon Quest. At least they would be honest for once.
Just get a job man, it's not hard to toss a few dollars to play a game
I’ve actually always found the olde English in DQ to be charming personally, an element that gives the series its “flavour”, if you will.
Anyhow, call it autism, but I tend to enjoy trying to amass a physical collection of things, so long as I can actually get some use out of them. But if the mobile ports of I and II outclass the other versions of the games that much, perhaps I’ll look into it. I was only planning to get DQ IV on my phone, since apparently the DS version lacks party chat of all things, for some godforsaken reason.
Oh I was talking purely about playing. If you want a physical collection then go for it. I understand that as I also have a collection of physical games.
Good luck getting a cheap copy of DQ 1 and II then friend, shits pricy
Don't worry I want a physical collection too, that's why after I beat 1,2, and 3 on my phone I ordered a copy of 4. Playing the games on my phone was good because I could do it at work and kill time with all the grinding I had to do
Oh nevermind, a copy of 1 and 2 is actually only gonna set you back like 30 bucks. That's not too bad. Good luck with 3 though
DAMN, okay a used copy of 3 is only like 50 bucks on Amazon, nevermind then.
My boring list.
Only Priestess
>Hasn't played the Erdrick Trilogy
>Hasn't AT LEAST played III
user I love dragon quest to death so I won't be mean but you need to go fix that shit right now
Don't worry, it'll die down just like XI's initial discussion did.
1-3 is a nice trilogy. You should play them.
I do wish DQ2 wasn't so annoying. DQ1 is grindy but can be beaten in a day and overall it's simple enough to be enjoyable if you can put yourself in that headspace in 1986. But DQ2...man they really needed an extra few month balancing all that shit out. Because everything coming together in DQ3 makes playing 1 and 2 so worth it. But only barely regarding DQ2.
While I grew up on snes jrpgs, I was never much fan of the nes rpgs, I know the story of 1. Watched a lets play of it a long time ago. 2 I hear is tedious after a certain point, the bridge? Boat? And III I kinda want to play 1 and 2 before I begin on it.
A priestess shouldn't be wearing this attire
>2 I hear is tedious after a certain point, the bridge? Boat?
Rhone.
Why is everything so expensive in DQ3? Am I supposed to be doing the bullshit arena betting thing to get more money? I just got raped by a mimic chest on that pyramid, only my warrior can withstand 1 hit of those things. I feel like I'm underequipped.
I'm playing Rocket Slime now, cute game even if a tad too easy.
Oh cool, I’ll try my luck then!
Why doesn’t Amazon Canada ever have anything helpful. It’s endless suffering. There’s some copies of V DS and VIII 3DS I could get, a little more on the pricey side, but manageable. On the other hand, there’s nothing listed for DQ I-III, so those would end up coming from Amazon US... and that’s pretty damn expensive.
Now that is funny.
Enduring the Rhone grind as we speak. DQIII feels so close, I can taste it.
Sage, Cleric and Martial Artist are the cutest.
Hey I'm playing 8 right now. Just got to Baccarat. How much more of the game is left?
Quite a bit, you're about at the halfway point. Even more if you plan on the post game story which can take a few hours or longer depending on how much you need to grind to do the story important stuff. There's some good grinding spots though at least.
>Fire Emblem had pretty nice threads and a vg before 13
It was exactly the same as now, don't delude yourself.
So baccarat is the halfway point? That's actually further than I thought. I appreciate the answer. Do you know any good grinding spots just in case.
Bianca.
Hero has suffered too much already to be cursed with a wife like Deborah. I don't get her appeal at all.
She's hot.
Unfortunately the ones I used are inaccessable to you right now, but you will get one soon if you're in baccarat. You're gonna have to go to a Dragon graveyard and there's metal Kong slimes that spawn there. Make sure you talk to cash and carrie and do their quest
So is Bianca. It's literally the first thing that's remarked if you marry her.
King*
Thank you very much. Jessica keeps getting knocked out easy so I could probably use a few levels.
>Metal King Slime
I remember killing one of those fuckers for the first time. Pure euphoria.
Go back to your general
There's nothing quite like killing your first King Metal Slime. God damn the feeling is amazing. All that exp.
Anyone that puts DQ6 below DQ2, has never played DQ2.
>the dq6 hero laying back in the flying bed
these are fucking based
>stop talking about video games in the video game board
Yeah, also make sure you do the cash and carrie quest because then you'll unlockthr casino and if youre playing the 3DS port you can exploit the shit out of the quicksave feature and win a shit ton of tokens to buy a bunch of prayer rings that you can sell to make crazy bank to buy better armor or weapons. Hell you can make enough tokens to get the metal slime armor which is one of the strongest armors in the game. Make sure you play the roulette wheel though.
I used this video for the money making strategy and made half a million gold AND enough tokens to buy my I think whole party slime armor in about an hour or so
Shut the fuck up and kill yourself
There's literally no reason this can't be on Yea Forums
see
I've played them all.
You first smashcunt.
Why don't you go do this in the following
>Smash threads
>Persona/SMT threads
>Mario Royale threads
>Pokemon threads (they have their own fucking board)
But I bet you won't since you're just a seething cancer.
Woah, I didn't know you can abuse the casino like that. Thank you so much for the tip, that's going to be super helpful.
I do
If there's a general for a game it doesn't belong on Yea Forums, it belongs in their general
God I hated those little fuckers.
Wew sorry that you only possess one half of your brain then.
I'm playing XI and even if I like the combat, design and comfyness I find it quite boring, easy and out dated
Is Ni no Kuni similar to this?
Yeah man, I was hurting for cash pretty bad amd looked up quick ways to make gold. Casino's the way to go, it takes some luck and time but once you get the ball rolling it'll be worth it. Just have patience and make sure you quick save after every successful spin so you don't lose any tokens amd only gain them. If your stats suck you can at least make some money to buff your team.
I just beat 11 yesterday. The ending was amazing. You should definitely at least play 1 and 3 for a bit before playing it.
A bag of sand.
Well thanks again for the advice.
Well I'm sorry that your brain can't process that fact that someone would rather replay 2 over replaying 6.
I fucking doubt that, as I've rarely if ever seen that happen, especially in Smash threads.
Also, that's not how the rules work wannabe janitor.
Generals are meant for long running and concurrent threads, as in one after the other following archival.
DQ doesn't fit that bill as these threads are occasional, there's like two that actually hit bump limit a day, and it's coming off of the boost Smash gave it.
Persona threads don't fall under this bill either, as they're also occasional.
And the Mario Royale threads will be gone in a week.
Once a slave always a slave
thanks doc
You're welcome, good luck
DQ9 is THAT good?
Oh no, I can totally see how somone would rather do that. I'm just saying that 'someone' would have to be retarded.
Oh God damn it
I wanna fuck deborah
Is mage->theif any good?
Already using preist->sage and fighter->warrior
Yeah to me it is. It's all opinions user.
You see there you go again user. It's definitely a problem on your end. You just have to think that someone would have to be retarded to prefer 2 over 6, when in reality is that the person in question just has good taste. Somehow your brain seems to process that all wrong. You should get that checked out.
This is very cute and I need a higher res version is possible
No. Stop that.
that's max res. Old youtube man
Just started DQ1 on mobile. It's pretty fun.
>marrying jessica
why?
after me
Because tits. I don't get it either.
copy that
Reminds me of Fist of the Northstar when Kenshiro's body is dead so that guy with the lapis lazuli fist or what ever is dragging his body in a fucking casket across the desert.
Anry tits>bland osanajimi horseface chestlet.
>Hero (Lewd)
>Fighter (Sexy)
>Sage (Sexy)
>Sage (Sexy)
>ends up being the best team in the game
Oh Horii, you wonderful lewd man.
Big boobs and it's boring to go after the "obvious choice that you're expected to go along with"
>"user we've been friends for so long you're so great"
>Meanwhile I've been fighting alongside Jessica for 60+ hours
Show don't tell, ladies and gentlemen
I didn't. Played the game on PS2 and 3DS multiple times. Still marry Medea each time. I prefer huge tits, but Medea has the best personality and the most development.
If they had added more to Jessica's story in the 3DS remake, I might be interested in her. The lack of an arc for Jessica's character and the lack of Parcheesi are literally the only two flaws Dragon Quest VIII has.
VII is literally PEAK aesthetic of the series. It all went downhill from there.
Not just similar I am convinced they ripped assets straight from ni no kuni for DQ. It's either that or jrpgs are so creatively bankrupt they may as well be dead.
I still have to beat 3, 6, 7, 8 and 11. Which one should I go for first, anons?
the default difficulty is an insult to anyone that has played a JRPG before. You can download cheat-engine and force the hard monsters setting on for a real game
Since you're going through the whole series, you might as well play III before XI.
Just play the rest of them in release order, since you've already played half of them.
