I feel like 11 is better, but to each their own.

11 is better in some ways. 8 has the best feel, though. World, characters, and especially music are just tops.

Why is the overworld so empty. It's like, I walk for five minutes just to (rarely) find some chest, and wow it's locked too?

I get that big worlds were cool back then, but now it's its biggest weakness.

Five is the best.

11 was better

8 was pretty great though

get the sabrecat

This

Found myself eventually just going "why bother" to myself when I was running around in the over world in 8. Was just wasting my time usually if I did

>mfw I played through the entire game without ever getting a riding animal

I never figured out how and never bothered to look it up

That's not VII 3D.

Actually, VIII probably is the best. XI is really up there too, but it has maybe a smidge too much in padding and the true ending pisses me off so fucking much.

Veronica should've just stayed dead

The whole final chapter of 11 was a mistake.

>Let's just take all that closure and character development and throw it away

I just beat this game 2 weeks ago and it was my fav DQ game. It's so good.

how is the 3ds version?

HA! You fools don't understand, THIS IS THE BEST DQ GAME

Attached: 250px-DragonQuestHeroesRocketSlimeBox.jpg (250x225, 21K)

Maybe for normalfags who only ever played VIII. III and V blow it out of the water.

It's great and better than the PS2 version in every way except the music

i like world a bit more in XI, the environment feels more alive while exploring. VIII has got better hero design, but apart from yangus and trode i didnt care for most of the party members.

You think someone's working on a 3DS English patch for XI?

Added a bunch of enhancements but it looks and sounds like shit compared to the PS2 version.

>Going through the game like it's nothing, never run into a single issue

It makes me upset. Same thing happened to me with Lashiec in my most recent playthrough of PSIV.

What kind of gameplay is this game

I love dragon quest and wanna start messing with the spinoffs like this and DQ Monsters Joker

How long is this game? Started playing it awhile back and already have 27 hours and only now just got the boat although i have been grinding a lot

How did you lose to Dhoulmagus? I kicked his ass free without grinding wtf

idk, we have 2 different english releases and a third coming soon with more content. i dont see it happening any time soon

It's about 60 hours long.

I guess we all make stupid mistakes in a game, but the place where you get the side quest that rewards you with the ability to call a sabrecat is just down the road from the casino town. I don't know how you could have missed it. That's like someone saying they never got Epona in OoT.

>upset at the best boss in the game
Dhoulmagus being strong as fuck was so satisfying
He felt like a real boss not just another linear enemy to overcome

The whole concept of the game is your a slime boi who goes around freeing your fellow captive slimes and battling the evils that took them with a huge fucking tank that you can shoot random shit out of (including yourself) the gameplay super fun and it's got a bunch of references not only to DQ but FF and other RPGs, hell a tank you go up against is called Chrono Twigger cuz it's a huge tree. 10/10 would recommend

So I’m playing through VI DS... essentially for the second time. Could someone educate me on vocations within this title? What’s the most effective way to rank them up? And does each character have an objectively best vocation that they should go into? I kinda just did them willy-nilly for the hell of it, but that’s probably not the most efficient approach

Playing this on 3DS right now, it's TRUE kino

I played from I to IX four years ago and XI two years ago, and I ended up liking XI more than VIII.

>VII
I loved that game but fuck me did it go on way too long
>V
Also loved it but VIII felt a bit better to play
>III
Good but personally think it's over rated a touch
>XI
Couldn't be arsed to finish it honestly, got bored about 20 hours in and told the last half of the game was unnecessary shit

Only contrarians pretend this isnt the best by a huge margin. Its not even a competition.
I couldn't believe this game was real when I was younger, it blew my little teenage mind that they could fit AN ENTIRE WORLD onto this little disc and you could sail around it and explore every island, fly around and land anywhere even on top of cliffs and places inaccessible at any other point.
That on top of the surprisingly great voice acting and comfy story, unique party characters unlike any RPG i'd seen (a green goblin, fat bandit, a dragon, a womanizing gambling templar, a rich slut, and a fucking horse), and just gorgeous visuals.
Easily the best JRPG of all time.

XI is better in almost every way, I've played both and I'm not blinded by nostalgia because I played both within the past year and a half

FFIX is objectively the best FF though.
Maybe you just have shit taste?

>IX
>at the top
Did you mean XI? Because IX wasn't that good

Can you not read or write roman numerals, little guy?

What DQ has the best story? is it V?

That's not 3

XI is good but its nowhere near as good as VIII. The game isn't open world like VIII, the music is a big step down, the characters are generic fantasy tropes, the gameplay is padded by hundreds of worthless fetch quests instead of fun shit like monster arena, ect.
VIII is easily the better game.

I got to the very end of this shitshow (or at least what I assume was the end, snowy area) and died horribly to a bunch of suicidal monkeys while I barely had any MP left....haven't touched it since.

Its hero power rankings

You clearly wrote XII

oh no I meant the actual power of the Hero
I put IX's at the top because he canonically single-handedly defeated a guy who was strong enough to critically injure God

Yeah

I realized that after I already posted, my bad

Have you played any of these games

>XI doesn't have an open world
Except it does

>Characters are generic fantasy tropes
You mean like in every single dragon quest game?

Holy shit user you were literally right next to the final boss then

You were literally less than 20 minutes away from finishing it. Get gud

The nostalgia is strong in this post.
The whole world isn't that big. Xenoblade is bigger and don't give me that Xeno is shit. That isn't the point.
It just shows you're ignorant of other game series.

>Have you played any of these games
I have played all of them
>>XI doesn't have an open world
>Except it does
No it doesnt it has zones, nothing about it is open world. Level 5 created some amazing tech back in the day and were literally weeks away from developing seamless towns, something we wouldn't get again until Witcher 3. They aren't the same thing at all.

>You mean like in every single dragon quest game?
I'm starting to think the only DQ you've played is XI

Just started my second playthrough of III, how good is this build?
>Hero
>Warrior -> Gadabout -> Sage
>Priest -> Mage -> Thief -> Merchant
>Mage -> Priest -> Martial Artist

i played V as my first DQ and loved it, but regret not playing through IV first since they are connected. I've heard the party chat is great in DQ IV but its not on the ds version? Should i play it anyways

Indeed. You obviously didn't comprehend my post though if you think I said XII was the best.

Where did I say it was bigger than Xeno? Whete did I even mention that as a metric for how good it was? What the fuck?
Whats with all these contrarians nowadays trying to find ways to say 8 isnt the most beloved in the series

I'd say V is up there, but my personal favorite is VII, I just love how the game takes it slow with introducing all the different islands and their own issues, it goes long way in making their world actually feel real.

Unironically just play 4 on your phone. The party chat is super important if you care about your party members having an actual personality.

The phone port is literally the same in every way except it has party chat. Or just find an emulator that has the party chat in it.

IV is a very fun play thru, but if it was the party chat in V that pulled you in then the DS version may not be for you.

You can play the mobile version if you really want the Party chat.

it'll do fine but you don't really need any of this unless you plan on doing god dragon in

that game was horseshit, and the final boss can cast fullheal at any time. 2, 6, 9 are skippable, and unfortunately we wont ever get 10

Are meena and maya the best female party members outside of XI's cast

Jade is fuckable, Veronica's personality was good when she wasn't being a cunt and Serena was great after she got her character development

I knew about Yuffie and still missed her. She's basically a random encounter if you don't know about the actual method to get her

VII is pretty solid, just slow paced to start and fucking massive in length.

Builders 2 is going to be basically the same gameplay loop, but supercharged with tons of qol changes and multiplayer, so im super excited for it

>What am I in for?
Lots of fun small adventures that tie together into an epic storyline.

Don't give up when you lose your skills. The game doesn't open up till you get to the abbey.

>DQVII
I haven't played it yet myself but I hear it's probably the longest of the series but it's nothing groundbreaking either

A very very long but worthwhile DQ game.

It was pretty great honestly

>and multiplayer

I done some reading and played the demo and frankly, "multiplayer" seems like fucking slightly sweetened tera incognita bullshit from DQB1.
and I fucking hope I am wrong

So what is this game? Is it more structured like an RPG or more open-ended like Minecraft?

8 is my favorite too.
5 and 3 come really close though.
11 was a huge disappointment but still fun.

Unfortunately the dungeons themselves suffered for this.

very structured. you dont really build things just for the hell of it, you make rooms that tick off check marks to get quests done, and explore the overworld for more goodies to do more quests

Yeah thats a shame
I remember Rydons Tower being more complicated than it really was lol
Cool as fuck looking dungeon though

youtu.be/dJVYo2HpwLc

KINO ALERT

Honestly even though DQB pretty clearly rips off Minecraft, it always gave me Dark Cloud vibes instead.

So is Dragon Quest 8 or 11 best for a beginner into the series? Or maybe a different Dragon Quest entirely?

Technically any of them besides VII are perfectly fine for a beginner. Although if you're really finicky about whatever thematic threads run through the series, its best to think of I-III and IV-VI as trilogies to be played in their respective orders.

Dungeons just get simpler with each game.
In XI they're basically just musou levels.

try 8 on ps2 emulator
i think 11 is a bit too long you might get tired of it before its finished
its literally a 120+hr game

Never played DQ ever, I heard there is an orchestra music + uncensored mod for the 3DS version. How bad is the normal music?

Whitoid detected

which game are you talking about

At the time the overworld was pretty impressive. Overworlds in PS1 JRPGs were not really any more developed from their 16- bit predecessors. You were still a giant character on a map rather than a person in a world. DQ8 was one of the first games to capture what it felt like as a kid to be exploring a JRPG overworld. That being said in retrospect all they did was make a bigger map and the world and exploration wasn't any deeper than it had ever been and the progression of exploration played out the same as it ever did. Still a solid traditional JRPG.

Congrats on being one of like a dozen people to acknowledge its existence and being the only person I've seen yet to like it the most

I'm very glad they got rid of random encounters in DQXI. Always hated it in every single DQ game.

Is the "pre-order" stuff like DQB1 where it's a launch edition or do you actually have to pre-order to get the extra stuff?

XI is only better than VIII if you're a faggot.

Random encounters aren't in IX and the remakes of VII and VIII on 3DS

>You were still a giant character on a map rather than a person in a world

Honestly I kinda miss this nowadays. You really only get it in smaller scale jrpgs. Ni No Kuni though showed you can still do it with larger games without sacrificing quality.

It runs really badly on citra so unless you want to homebrew it I wouldnt waste your time
But you can get the fully modded rom from /dqg/ its in the OP
The music isnt bad at all but the orchestra is obviously better, but like i said the game runs like shit on emulator so it'll constantly skip and rape your ears
PS2 version emulates beautifully and doesn't need and patches

how the fuck do random encounters add to difficulty? it's just fucking random exploration interruptions for padding

>Yuji Horii doesnt even show up
kek

Because you actually have to fight and use your resources
If you ever get in a tight situation in modern DQ you can just run past everything

i cant go back to them after playing 8 and 11. drives me up the wall when i take 2 steps and another battle pops up

That’s a very specific rock so no. I don’t even think you know where that exact rock is located.

I can't wait for them to announce a remake not for the fucking Switch.

Got it, and how is 7 on 3DS? Does it have the same mods?

>you actually have to fight
user... the Flee command has existed for 30 years.

Why are there so many VIII babies here? I don't mean people that like or have VIII as their favorite, but faggots like who are just the most annoying fucks about it. DQ has a lot pf fantastic games and these people chpse to jerk off VIII while deglecting to play the other games in the series.

Theres an orchestra mod

that sabrecat part has two of the funniest npcs in the game

It has an orchestral mod and you can get that too in /dqg/
I dont know how it runs on citra i've never tried

>you actually have to fight
user... the Flee command has existed for 30 years.

samefag

Because retards jerk off VIII and shit on the other games.

Ok then. I'll do it for loli Alena.

Or maybe its just a good game and you're grasping at straws finding ways to hate it for being popular?

wow congrats you called samefag on 2 copy pasted posts. it is indeed me but it was an accident. I didn't realize the first post had gone through

Please quote me where I "shit" on other games you autistic retard
I love all DQ games I just love VIII the most

i hate it now? dont recall saying so

Not even top 5.

The flee command isn't a guaranteed safety net, if monsters are stronger than you, your chances of fleeing are extremely slim, if they're about as touch as you, your chances are basically a coin toss, and so on.
Even if you try to run from fights, random encounters will still drain your resources since you'll be taking hits on failed flee attempts.

So I'm playing XI and it is amazing but I have one complaint. What the fuck is this music? I have been hearing the same 5 songs over and over and over again no matter where I am or what is happening. Who thought that was okay? The game is seriously brought down when every single fucking town has the same music and the overworld always has the same music or when there is a dramatic cutscene but they are still playing generic song #4. Not to mention it is all midi.

Other than that the game is amazing but seriously what were they thinking. I know they are relasing an updated version of the game with actual music but I am not very happy that I will need to buy this game twice to play it in a way it should have been in the first place.

Now this is just blatantly retarded

Seems like you have some dislike for it considering you think its only virtue is being on the PS2

install orchestra mod and stop being a pleb. NES games only have 1-2 exploration tracks.

I do? Now I really think you're imagining things.

Just finished DQ8 on the 3DS the other day and was pretty good. Waiting for 11 on the Switch later. For those that believe 11 is better, why do you think that? Genuinely want to know compared to 8.

Attached: PuffPuff.gif (498x348, 753K)

VIII was like the first DQ game to get a lot of praise and sales in the west so it’s not surprising

So DQ VII will be a very long, but rewarding journey, while Builders 2 will basically be even better than the first. Sounds awesome!

its also in full 3d with an orchestral score and one of the more unique casts

overworld is better with not as much bland wandering. I like the skill tree system much more with no arbitrary skill caps. apart from veronica, the party members are all great

Will Koichi Sugiyama even compose for DQXII? Guy's like 95

look at what happened with XI, i think it might be best to get someone new

Attached: 1554594052811.jpg (763x533, 285K)

his new tracks for DQXI are good though. and DQXI reuses a lot of past tracks. which is why i think it's fucking hilarious when people complain while saying "past games had much better ost"

About time. I don't hate the guy but Dragon Quest is due for a new composer.

>III
>IV
>V
>VII

It's perfectly reasonable for one to prefer these to VIII.

its taken 3 releases of the game for a proper version to exist though.

proper version of what?

>overworld is better
Why would you post such a blatant lie
You cant even fly anywhere you want

If you're fucking retarded

did you even play dq11?

t. Seething VIII baby

Remake is pretty okay, I'll admit.
I never got kamikaze'd at all, though I did get whacked once by those ice elementals.

What do NES games have to do with the amount of music a game released im 2017 has? A big aspect of JRPG is normally the music, especially recently there have been stellar music in JRPGs then I get to DQXI and it is just a huge disappointment (music wise).

Honestly the orchestral music cant even help it if it is still just the same songs over and over.

Well it really is my only complaint and I'm not trying to be negative so I'll stop now.

The OST is just okay so far, does it get better later into the game? I am like 20 hours in and I have heard maybe 5 different songs in total it is pretty pathetic.

He's probably whining about the fact that Switch will be the first version to use an orchestral soundtrack.

Dragon Quest is literally NES - the franchise. That goes for everything. Amount of music, style of music, story, characters, gameplay.

I have 140 hours in it
Did you?

So you somehow missed the part where you fly around the map?

Dragon Quest Builders 2 is coming out next Friday. Should I get it?

Play the ps4 demo and decide

Newtard.

XI has 51 tracks in total, which is one of the highest counts of OST for the series.

I was planning on getting it for the switch to play whenever I wanted, like at a friend's house or whatever. Is the switch port any worse? I couldn't really give a fuck about the graphics if they're worse. Hopefully it'd had good framerate at least

I saw some twitter comparisons and the switch version was running at like 15 fps max

I heard the framerate was abysmal on switch

5-8fags really are the fucking worst. The games aren't even bad, but christ the dick sucking they get is strong.

Should I keep going on 6, or just drop it and go to 8? I’ve played 1,3,4 and 5 so far.

I'm going to get it.
I liked the first game quite a bit.
The first game was charming, it was basically a DQ game but with Minecraft building elements slotted into it. Lots of exploration, base building, and doing quests for characters.

5 is the comfiest game ever made is why

I played the demo on the switch, and it seemed fine
I don't know about 15fps. Maybe it's that way in later areas, I can't know yet.

You can only land on certain points on the map unlike in 8 where you could land almost everywhere. 11 isn't even as open as 8 because there's constant load screens between the small areas and you're given way less freedom to actually explore.

you can fly around flat textured empty fields, ooo so much better than concise areas with personality

You can land almost anywhere in 8 because there's so much stretches of land that are just huge spaces of fucking nothing.

Should I just play the PC version and forget about the switch? The graphics will be downscaled and it's not like they'll add that much extra content, riiiiiight? But my fuck is having the party follow you in the overworld cool.

Attached: maxresdefault (4).jpg (1920x1200, 645K)

Pirate the PC version so and decide later which version you want to support with your money.

They're actually adding a ton to it. Adding music, extra backstory content for every party member, you'll be able to switch between 3D and classic dragon quest 2D on the fly, more ridable monsters, extra romance options, etc.

It's a huge upgrade

New midi battle Theme is much better than the awful orchestra

Not that user, but I always take claims of framerate stutter with a grain of salt around here.

it easily had the best friend, Yangus was a bro

the story of 'ow me an' the guv fell in together is an epic tale, full o' laughter, thrills, and tears

It is a bit ironic how Yangus felt more involved in events even though Angelo and Jessica had relatively more personal ties to everything.

>Also I managed to grab a copy of DQ VII 3DS recently. What am I in for?
Best game in the series.
Tons upon tons of vignettes who'll you'll see multiple iterations of each one more awesome than the last.

VII is a fine starting point so long as you know it's going to take you 60 or so hours to finish it.

it took me over 80 to finish XI, VII is much longer than just 60 hours

>it's going to take you 60 or so hours to get past the starting area.
Fixed that for you

PS2 or DS version of DQ5?

DS, ps2 has a shoddy translation

That better be the PS2 version

You played the PS1 version?
Because the 3DS one took me about 62 hours and that was with excessive grinding just to test out a few more endgame classes.

>playing the version where you get stuck with the horse

DS. The 3D for the PS2 version is digusting, the sprites in the DS version are much nicer.

...really? Fuck...I assumed there would be another dungeon or something once I got through that area but if it's really right the fuck there I guess I can grind a bit and see this through.

Honestly most of the reason I was so weak at the end is because I was scouring that cave for the Thunder Saber I was told was just on the damn floor somewhere, I never did find it.

Those pond-side chats were some of my favorite parts of the game. Legitimately warmed my heart, and I liked knowing she had a past with the hero.

Waifu faggots needing to marry their girl ruined RPGs. Look at 11. They could have just given you all the girls at first, but no you get to buy the switch version if you want to marry Jade plus many other extras.

Fucking hate this era. You buy a game and realize you got sold half of one

These games are amazing if this is the worst one, because I adored DQ2, and like it a bit more than DQ1.

Steam fucking when. I wanna replay it so bad

Even though I think VII/XI are the best single player, IX was amazing for what limitations they had with the create-a-character model. If they remade it for Switch, it'd be massive

Best map theme in the series though

Bump

that's not 5

Same with FFII, funnily enough.

>Reminder that if this fag didn't ruin DQ11 for you then you are also a fag with shit taste. This game was literally made for fags and is by far the worst DQ game ever made because of it.

I've never played DQ at all. Only saw the recent switch trailer. Is it an ok game to jump in to?

they are all individually contained unless it is a numbered spin off. you can pick any of them and the most you would miss out on is small references from old games.

No don't fall for it, it's seriously the most bland, repetitive and archaic design ever. It's literally made to emulate shit JRPGs from the 80s they have purposefully not updated anything about the gameplay since then and the result is that every minute you play you feel like you're banging your head off a brick wall. The saving grace is usually the cast of characters but nope, in DQ11 everyone in your party is extremely boring and generic or just really annoying. Avoid.

Its disconcerting that you even know enough about Rick and Morty to care about hating it.

Zoom doesnt even cost mp anymore.
How much more do they have to casualize it before you guys are satisfied? A literal press x to win button? Oh wait it pretty much already has that now that its hard to lose with at least on party member on focus on healing.

You dont even know what gameplay was like in the 80's. Just be glad you dont have to go to a menu just to use stairs anymore.

Who mentioned fast travel? The entire game is a slow paced drag. Also absolutely nobody said it was hard, nice mental gymnastics, it's just boring, you can win nearly every fight by tapping x anyway so I don't know why you're acting like that isn't what the series is kek

>you can win nearly every fight by tapping x anyway
Confirmed for never playing a Dragon Quest game

This was my first DQ game and the only one I played until I decided to pick up the series for real after Smash. It's pretty great.

Just keep "pressing X" against this motherfucker I DOUBLE DOG DARE YOU

Please end your life soon.

I have good news for you user you should play the other games

confirmed for completed DQ11 last night

Once again, nice mental gymnastics.

No stay mad, your game series is fucking awful, that's why it sells like dogshit outside Japan. You can keep your shitty pickle rick game.

>faggot gets mad that he wasn't getting any attention in so he leaves to try ruin a perfectly good DQ thread
