Dragon Quest thread

This is a Dragon Quest thread, not Pokemon

I will specifically shill DQ on the Switch to as many people as possible.
Because i want the weeb audience to become assimilated onto the Switch, leading to even more sales.
Weebs are useful, and Sony isn't treating them well, so they're the perfect sales boost this holiday.

True SQ fans want as many people buying and playing as many DQ games as possible.

It’s the only way to get Square Enix to actually port games to the West in a timely fashion like fuck, most spinoffs still don’t get localized

I don't really care about DQ.
I just want weebs onto the Switch.
Sony is fucking them and this is the perfect period to redirect them onto the Switch.
More weebs = more sales = more actually good weeb games i want to play are released and not this snorefest trash

but k-on is good

Imagine getting mad at people for trying out a different game.

Things are rarely the same. Someone who dislikes wine will always be less apt at differentiating it than someone who does. Same with cars, architecture and Dragon Quest.

>Fuck Nintendo
Fuck you. Nintendo has always been bro-tier to DQ.

I've finished DQ11 and DQ8, what should I try next? Thinking of 4, but what do you all think?

III, IV or V

The gameboy remake so you don’t have to grind for 13 hours.

How can Nintendo be this fucking retarded?

7 is good and on the 3Ds

Gameboy remake. Original has too much grinding and the SNES translation patch has some game-breaking bugs.

3, 4, or 5 would be good choices.

Holy shit an actual unironic shill on Yea Forums!

How bad can you be at fucking JRPGs to even grind at all in a DQ game? Unless you are purposely gimping yourself, there's no reason to grind at all for any fucking encounter in a game if you understand the basic concepts of a fucking turn-based game.

And tell them to get DQ on the switch.

Nah I told them to get DQXI on PC and emulate 5 on the snes.

>tfw got into Dragon Quest cause of Erdrick rumors
Played 11 back in January and have finished 8, 4, 5, 3 and 6 since than, I did the same with Castlevania, played all of them cause Simon was rumored

I'm playing IV on mobile and there's no way to mute the music. How fucking stupid. All precious entries had that option.

Please tell me when DQ11 gets fun, Im just part the reveal that Grandpa Gohan is Protags Grandpa and Jade is the Heliodor Princess but my god it's so fucking slow and boring, I really had to force myself to get to this point

I'm playing DQXI currently as my first in the series. Really enjoying it thus far. It has all that classic rpg vibe that I've missed from FF for years now.

>missed that vibe from ff for years
>somehow didn't play any of DQ titles in in those years
this post reek of zoomer trying to fit in

iOS/Android

Gameboy or Mobile. On Mobile you can finish it in quick, idk about gameboy though. Best quality music you're gonna get is mobile though, and that goes for DQ1 through DQ7.
youtu.be/FR5KSORJxSg?t=40
Gameboy has little picture cutscenes which is nice but that's the only reason I'd play it over mobile. Music makes mobile worthwhile imo.

>DQ7
fug, meant DQ6.

Whatever you say. I'm a eurofag and DQ just isn't wasn't a thing here at all I can promise you. All we had here as the big JRPG thing was FF. Just thought I'd finally give DQ a shot.

how is that hard to believe?

I'll get it on my phone then. How about the other NES games?

I'm currently playing 8 on the 3DS and O heard whips were nerfed. Are they terrible now or just mediocre?

What? Dragon Quest 4 is about playing with many different characters with a different perspective before they all meet at the end, 5 follow the main character from childhood to fatherhood, 8 is about escorting a cursed king and princess, 11 is a chosen one story where the hero is cast out of his kingdom, etc. The games are pretty different, it's not Final Fantasy different but it's just as varied as Persona. Pokemon is much more of every game is the same where you play as a trainer who gets 8 badges, fights the evil team X and eventually becomes champion by defeating the elite 4.

yes
DQ is what birth jrpg, so therefore japanese gaming culture

>cute flat chest and short hair

who here /ROCKET SLIME/

DQ1-3 it's the same story, best music on mobile and that wins it out for me. These are the same tunes you'll hear literally hundreds of times so it makes a diff.
However the SNES version of 3 is the only one that has animated enemies and that definitely counts for something.

At this point I wrap it up as a gain that the translation between 1-3 on mobile is consistent with the rest of the officially localized games because I really dunno what fan-translations used for the names of some things. If they go by jp names it can create inconsistencies and we all know how the games are intended to be super consistent.

I got DQ1 on phone
how do I play?
it seems very unintuitive compared to every other JRPG games
not sure if just bad port

Why is it always DQ3, that game is boring as shit

Play the North American NES version

Why? Why not GBA?

Grind your ass off basically

fuk
why

It retains all of the problems of the PAL/JP versions and none of the "quality of life" features of the American version

DQ1 is basically open world. The only things preventing you from reaching the final dungeon at the very start of the game is a key item and being beef-gated by random encounters.

Personabros already had to deal with a smashfag invasion, now it's your turn....

I have a strange question I've been meaning to ask. Which DQ games allow you to recruit monsters into the party? And I mean as permanent members, not temporary.
I know the SNES VI allowed you to recruit a variety of monsters, while the DS and presumably mobile version of the game has a number of Slimes and one special other monster that can be found throughout the game. IX the party were exclusively Create-a-Characters, so none there unfortunately. I believe one of V's major gimmicks was that Madason could tame monsters, right?

V is built around recruiting monsters.

DQ5 main thing is the monster recruitment. There's also DQ Monster 1 and 2 for GBC (there's a 3DS version but never ever localized)

What's the best game to play for someone that's THIRSTY for ass?

You should really play the mobile version for party chat. If the Scottish accents in Chapter 1 really bothered you, they only exist in Chapter 1.

I'm in the same boat as him and I didn't try DQ because the visual style is DB and DB is shit.

I recently ordered a bootleg translated Dragon Ques V for snes. People have been praising it up and down in these threads so I'm really looking forward to testing it out. Does it play similar to Dragon Quest I&II on gbc? Are there job classes in V, if so, how much does that effect the overall gameplay? Also, really looking forward to Dragon Quest XI S.

Hate playing games on mobile so that's out of the question for me. And it's the whole package. I know by the time Chapter 5 hits the accents are pretty much gone but it's still makes going through each chapter a slog.

Girls are dumb as all hell. I was being told about a girl who's boyfriend is ugly as hell and his antics in bed. Takes him about three seconds to cum. She's only with him cause he's funny.

The games were way better when characters were designed like 90's Dragon Ball characters.

I fucking love the gameplay loop. Going to a new village smash a the barrels, searching all the drawers and cupboards. Then the amazing little side stories that are always better than the main generic plot. These are the things that appeal to me most so DQVII is my favourite. Dqxi was fucking phenomenal.

Any other shit?

oh? what's the issue with the snes version?

so i can play it on original hardware hooked up to my crt? and i don't care for everdrives.

Should have bought the PS2 version bro.

At least they accurately portrayed women in combat back then.

is the ps2 version translated? don't know a lick of jap.

DQ 3 is the absolute peak of Dragon Quest. Fuck you.

This is the only toriyama artstyle I hate

Huh?

DQ5 all 3 versions has been translated.
SNES, PS2, and DS
DS is really the one I prefer but to each their own.

Okay lads, I'll expand my search requests. I'm looking for DQ that you could tag with any of the following;
>F: Blonde
>F: Tomboy
>F: Tomgirl
>F: Anal
>M: Cheating
Thank you.

I was looking at 6, and the blonde in that seemed to cover what I'm looking for? Also the main squeeze from 11.

Please keep responses civil. I'll also be playing it on my phone, probably. So if Square has released it on the appstore, that'd be great.

Attached: 1562808913737.jpg (1000x1412, 285K)

Okay, if I don't like the snes version i'll check the ps2 version out. The snes version was just the easiest at $7 with no hassle.

We have any news on if the piss4 version is getting faster combat speed? I'll play the game when it does.

Just go fap to some porn.

Given the average vagina can expand to 200% it's given size, that means at least 8 inches is the max level. I really wanted to take this this to R9K about this. But they're obsessed over some 5 foot bagel store up riser.

There's nothing really bad about the SNES version just that it looks slightly bland for a SNES game.

PS2 has orchestrated music if I remember right plus a party chat function which is charming.

DS adds a new girl to marry.

Overall the didn't change that much between each game in terms of content so just play the version you feel you would enjoy more.

Attached: dq5.png (512x478, 37K)

By being not the same, you stupid fuck. Play DQ1. Play DQ11. They are not the same.

>She's only with him cause he's funny.
this is the true redpill on women
being funny > all

Don't forget that you can only have three party members in battle in the SNES version so it's slightly harder. Also each version adds more monsters to recruit. So PS2 has more than SNES and DS has more than PS2. Also the mobile version has some small balance changes and a new item you can win in the casino that makes recruiting monsters easier.

Fuck no. Famicom 3/4 is peak DQ art. The SNES games going full DBZ looks lame.

Not him, but I prefer DQ4. I appreciate DQ3's customization, but your party being a blank slate with their only defining features being their stat sheets gets bland pretty quickly. Going through four chapters of exposition and character plotlines to finally merged together in the final chapter with the Hero really brought DQ4 to life for me.

Doesn't stop us jerking it to porn, user, with their weirdly giant dicks.

Exactly. That being said Z's manga art is good as fuck too though at least saiyan and frieza saga. It's really Toriyama's overly blocky and shiny shit in the mid 90's I can't stand.

Given the average vagina can expand to 200% it's given size

they expand width wise not length wise. if a girl cant take 8 inches, getting her horny wont help

I mean shit, a big dick is a big dick. Do saline injections fuck your dick up?

Yeah I actually have both versions of 2 on the GBC, as well as DQM: J 1 and 2 on the DS lol. I really should go back and finish the GBC games. As for the main games though, I suppose it's just V and VI then? A little disappointing, but I suppose it helps to create a special identity for both games. Thank you! Hopefully I can find a NA copy of V DS... somewhere.

if you do it significantly, yes

If only I can can be so grossly incandescent.

According to research, the average vaginal length is between 3 and 4 inches. The problem with vaginal measurements is that, just like the penis, the vagina expands when aroused, up to 200%. Based on those numbers, the average aroused vagina measures in at 6-8 inches.

True but that's minor compared to other DQ remakes
It's nice and clean but compare that to DQ6 it's hard to say it's a good looking game. DQ1 and 2 remake uses DQ5 engine while DQ3 remake uses DQ6 engine.

how big is your dick out of curiosity

>based retard math

if if can expand up to 200% then that means on average it would expand less, 200% is the max.

and again it expands width wise not length

Not him, but I just googled it. The average dick 5inc is larger than the average pussy. I don't know about it expanding tho.

6 inches at max hard. Just over 6. I'm ordering Forhims to re-measure over these years.

200% of 4 inches makes 8 inches here:

200 percent of (4 inches) =
8 inches

Fair point. V (snes) has the nice classic look with improved visuals over the nes titles. Side note, does anyone in this thread know basic-fluent japanese? I have these DQ tarot cards that I would really like translated and would appreciate any help if possible.

1-3 is DB
4 is early DBZ
5 and 1+2 remakes is mid DBZ around Cell, starts getting a bit shiny and blocky here but I still like it, nothing excessive.
6 and the 3 remake are late DBZ and GT respectively, which is where he went nuts with the blocky shiny stuff.

I played Dragon Quest 1 on an NES emulator for about 15 minutes about 10 years ago, I will now get into the series thanks to the smash representation. I am not gonna be a poserfag because I played the series earlier than most of the 19 year olds here.

damn man, not bad

There was a post awhile back arguing that DQ8 was the first time the series became a hit in the US.
Honestly 8 mainly sold for the FF demo

I dont get it. I feel like DQ should be a hit in the U.S. considering just how many spic weebs there are who are obsessed with dragon ball.

the more people who play dragon quest, the better. maybe one day SE will be convinced to finally bring over DQX

Attached: DYstcjPU0AAczfc.jpg (730x900, 82K)

The reason I think Dragon Quest is not popular in the USA is because of the art style. Westerners have expectations for how JRPGs should look which is why Final Fantasy reigns supreme.

Final Fantasy didn't become a MAJOR deal in the USA til FF7 and what did Sony market? The CGI sequences that idiots considered "realistic" back then even though they were anime as all hell. However after FF7's success FF continued to go for visual designs like FF8's CGI sequences which are definitively more realistic. Then FF9 came and the USA was not impressed yet again with ugly midget chibi designs for the characters.

Putting it simply, "realism" is what sells Final Fantasy which explains why FF10 is the second most globally liked game in the franchise. SE understood this and put a stop to cartoony anything. And Dragon Quest rejects abandoning its cartoony art style. This is what will keep it from being a major selling deal in the USA. And if DQ loses the art style they lose Japan's money as a result while gambling that the USA will somehow like a more realistic looking DQ game.

Dragon Quest is in a No Win situation so the best they can do is simply forget about the Western Regions as they don't like cartoony anime looking JRPGs. And Dragon Quest isn't the only one. If you think that Disgaea or the Tales series or the Xeno series are loved in the West think again. They may sell enough to continue to get translated, but they're nothing compared to Final Fantasy. When the highest selling cartoony anime game is Persona 5 in recent times? It really says that Westerners generally don't care about anime looking videogames. It's just not their thing which is why Final Fantasy 7 Remake adopted a realistic looking design where the characters look like real people with anime cosplay wigs like Cloud's hair.

toriyama's art style is among the most popular and successful in the world, that isn't it
it's that the game has been very poorly marketed in the west since the 90s, westerners are mostly just unaware of what it is or that it even exists
the luminary getting into smash along with a DQ11 switch port is the best marketing the series has received in the west in literal decades

....I never said Toriyama anything I said the anime cartoon art style is what's turning Westerners off. It looks like straight up anime and that's the thing that doesn't make it generally appealing for westerners. Again look at the sales of stuff like the Tales series and see that they don't sell well due to art style.

> anime cartoon art style is what's turning Westerners off.
The "anime cartoon art style" is Toriyama's art style, which is among the most popular and successful in the world.
It's also used in one of the most popular JRPGs ever made, Chrono Trigger, which is a game extremely well known to westerners.

I'm telling you that the art style is not what's keeping westerners away from it. It's marketing. Try saying that fucking Pokemon is being held back by its art style, that's the exact same argument you're making for DQ. No, Pokemon had extremely good marketing in the west and that's why it's so successful.

Don't remember DQ8 being that bad. It's DQ4 where the accents were the heaviest and must annoying.

When does DQ hit Smash?

That's stupid because
>Chrono Trigger

I think DQ 11 was cute, the other ones are good too?

#SHIBUYAMELTDOWN

But that's wrong. 2 introduced a party, 3 lets you create your own characters, 9 focussed on co-op, 10 is an MMO. 11 has peps, skill strees and a shit ton of mechanics. And that's just to name a few games, I haven't played them all yet.

Mobile honestly. SNES is alright but the mobile version add small touches like sparkles on the floor of items that are hidden which DQ1 & 2 does a lot (1 isn't that bad with it but 2 is fucking horrible with it). Play 3 on the same place for a smoother localization transition.
