3 and 9 are best and the only two worth playing. The first two are dated as fuck and just not much fun these days. 4 - 6 try to be interesting, but end up becoming "press A for 50 hours" the game anyway. 7 lacks focus and is like 600 hours long. 8 and 11 are pussy movie games for babies.

11. Played 1, 2, in the process of 3, and 8. Still need to play 5 and finish 3. 1 was pretty basic but it grew on me and I think 2 gets a bad wrap, not sure why so many people hate it. 11 was just a really clean experience. Very traditional with no obnoxious gimmicks, solid character arcs. Only weakness was the music being average for 99% of the game until Calasmos and even then it didn't get good until after you remove his barrier. Having a great time with 3, not far in but can see why a lot of people consider it one of the best entries.

3, 5, and 8 are the only ones really worth playing

the rest are just for novelty(1,4,9), or just for being absolute drag to finish(2,6,7)

11 is literally 8, but the "generic" turned up to 11.

>inb4 its related to 3

Sylvando is cool tho.

IX.

Oh, yes. DQ1 was... well, like that.

People love DQ5 because it tells a story about a boy who had a tough life.

I'm in between IV and V

I beat 5 last night so I'll need some time to marinate on it, but it was definitely top three.

Gameplay wise 8 is my favorite because of all the QoL changes they made and for the focused party that doesn't fall into all heroes/all sages. As for story 7 wins due to the sheer amount of high quality stories, even if they are connected with silly string. Killbot Island is peak DQ and I want to marry E.L.L.I.E.

.. desperately needs to be remade

I wonder if the ending of DQ11 is a hint of just that? It'd be a good way to milk another title out of the DQ11 assets and engine.

Imagine being a hipster with fucking Dragon Quest of all things.

I hate 7. How can you like 7 when you have to backtrack through every single dungeon at least twice?

Well, DQ11 had...

Also, I think that few enemies that appear in DQ11 were only in DQ3. Like those crows with skulls.

I have only played I and XI (I honestly prefer I over XI, XI was too tedious and repetitive in arc 3. I'll maybe come back to it someday and finish it)
Looking forward to playing III and V, I've heard they're great.

Just had a kid so my switch has been getting some use finally. Never beaten a DQ in my life until I bought the first 3 on switch. Now I'm playing through XI. XI has been very satisfying so far with stronger monsters enabled, 24 hours in and I haven't slowed down at all. VII really left a bad taste in my mouth but glad I'm giving the series another try.

DQ7 is the absolute worse place to start unless youre hardcore into JRPGs

Give DQ7 another try someday, and make sure it's the 3DS version

>Liking 3(the LttP of the DQ series) and 9 (the best selling DQ game in the west) is being a hipster
what?
that's as basic and bland as you can get when it comes to DQ preferences
that's like someone saying A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess are the best Zelda games

normie pls go

VIII (PS2)
XI (PS4)
VII (PS1)
IV (DS)
IX (DS)
III (SNES)
II (NES)
I (NES)

In that order.
Haven't played V yet, but I plan on playing PS2 version.
Playing VI (DS) right now.

Aside from being a graphics faggot, muh music or poor there is no reason to play or like the PS2 version of DQ8 over the 3DS rerelease.

Been here since 2005. Can't ever leave

You are a rare person lad, IX might have sold well, but it's very forgettable

Based and patrician

Fine, maybe hipster was not the correct word, but "4 - 6 try to be interesting, but end up becoming "press A for 50 hours" the game anyway. 8 and 11 are pussy movie games for babies" is such a shitty fucking take I don't really know what to say about it.

What are the odds we get an updated version of IX or re-release of VIII in the west in the next few years? Pic unrelated

>tfw the GBC version got a switch port with a bunch of QoL changes but its japan exclusive

I see you haven't played any games you posted, cool stuff mate

VIII is a gorgeous looking game, the shitty 3DS graphics are blasphemous.
The orchestrated music for VIII is also god tier. I don't mind midi for any other DQ, but its unacceptable for VIII.

They should remake VIII with XI's graphics and QoL changes.

The team said they were interested in doing a Switch version of IX on the game's 10th year anniversary, so it's likely that will happen.

No. XI's QoL changes were bad.

I'd say 7 since to me it leaned in more to an adventure feel than quest feel. Of the mainline games, 7 has the main evil play a backlog to the story and it mostly just involves the hero and his friends exploring different islands and solving the local troubles for no reason other than to help out. Its just feels comfy.

How come? If you come up with good reasons, then just update the graphics and add some new content.

>IV (DS)
I thought DQfags considered this an unworthy port because of the exclusion of the party chat.
I only played V and thought the party chat was neat but nothing essential in that game.

Rocket Slime

I have.
Dragon Quest V has one of the best stories in the series, arguably the best, VI is kind of just there but it has an amazing soundtrack, VIII has a great cast, antagonist, music, locations and tension was an interesting gameplay mechanic. XI is just great all around even if it plays it very safe.

4 was already remade why would they update it again?
If anything Square would be smart (and lazy) enough to port all the mobile ports to the switch like they did with DQ1-3

but considering this is SE they won't do it, even lazily porting more DQ mobile ports to a system that's literally a tablet is too much effort for them.
