Oh right, babby's first RPG therefore it's better than anything out there.
Seriously this is fact.
>>256005225
>Reinvent water.
There I fixed it, I'm a fucking idiot.
>>256005225
As far as long standing jrpg series dragon quest is so much better. I personally can't see looking at the whole series how you'd prefer final fantasy as a hardcore rpg fan.
>I like playing the same game for 10+ years
Final Fantasy has ambition.
Dragon Quest is lazy and takes advantage of its fans.
THIS is fact.
>>256006258
>Final Fantasy has ambition
Yeah it has some of the most ambitious corridors I've ever seen.
Dragon Quest is pretty boring as a series.
Combat is always the same, monsters are always the same and silent protags are weird in a game that has characters that actively talk to you.
Stories are also never really interesting .Something that SMT does way better while keeping basic gameplay intact.
Played some DQ games and enjoyed them for what they were but I'm pretty much done with the series.
>>256006309
So they experimented a bit with X and XIII and a lot of people didn't care for it, so what?
XII was incredibly open and XV promises to be very open. I'd rather they experiment and find what works and what doesn't than force feed me the same, unchanging thing for the series' lifespan because they're afraid that some fans may not like it.
The only good game Enix created before the merge was Terranigma, and DQ is shit
>>256005737
I agree. The best thing that ever came out of FF was spinoffs, and those tend to die slow, painful deaths for one reason or another.
>>256007857
Name one better turn based JRPG

>>256009024
That's ?-10 I asked for one

No it wasn't. It was just areas/zones. Not a single area was as large as Gran Pulse in 13 either.

>Dragon Quest is pretty boring as a series.
Cool opinion bro

That's wrong.

No they aren't.

Also funny how a SMT fag is listing reusing monsters as a fault.

DQIX sucked ass. Top lel at that kid who had it in his 3x3
>>256009430
there
>>256005225
But Dragon Warrior was literally babby's first console RPG.
I like both series and there is nothing you can do about it faggot
Being better than Final Faggotry is not hard to do. Unless you are a gay or a japanese fujoshit I see no reason why you would like it.
>>256005225
Oh fuck, this again.
You wouldn't know this, but making a full, new RPG gameplay experience that's GOOD is super hard. FF attemps this every installment, with varying success, while DQ typically sticks to one type of gameplay they know is successful. Now which is better: fresh, new gameplay that's not always successful, or the same old systems, but have been successful for years?
THAT is the real question
Do people only hate Dragon Quest because of the combat? There's nothing wrong with the battle system as it stands now.
Hell, if there's anything Dragon Quest did right, it was introducing enemies that are effectively walking level-ups.
>>256009456
DQIX has an amazing post game and decent character customization
>>256009749
New gameplay > Playing the same shit with upgraded graphics
>>256009749
>FF attempts this every installment,
How so? Majority of its games use the exact same ATB combat.
>>256009902
tell that to Doomfags
>>256005225
I bet DQ has shit story-telling, and therefore not worth playing.
>Playing turn-based RPGs for anything other than focusing on the story.
>Ever.
Absolutely disgusting.
>>256009961
Most FF games have different systems like Jobs, the Sphere Grid and the Materia system hell they even switch it up from ATB to Turn based in X
>>256009749
I find that they appeal to different demographics and tastes, which is a good thing that OP can't seem to recognize. There's definitely room for a little risk as well as safe consistency. I'd say that risk is definitely welcomed more than ever given how stagnation was one of the reasons that led to the shrinking of the Japanese game industry.
Final Fantasy: A solid series of games until Enix took over.
Dragon Quest: The same shit every time that slowly died out until Enix took over Square.
I love both, but let's not bullshit ourselves.
>>256005737
Well no, reinventing water makes sense though. At least it made sense to me, because by saying "reinvent water" you are stating that each Final Fantasy always feel the need to have the best graphics of the century, even if they have to sacrifice other aspects of the game to do so.
>>256010075
This, that's what makes DQ a bad RPG. The stories in all of the games are complete ass; it doesn't help that most of their OST is uninspired, and the characters are bad.
>>256010204
Let's not forget that shitty Dragon Ball art
>>256010138

HOLY SHIT.
You mean like how Dragon Quest had a Job system, weapon skill system,etc
You mean like how Dragon transformations are different in all 5 Breath of Fire games?
You mean like how EVERY fucking jrpg series has different background skill learning systems?
Why do you stupid ass FF fanboys think this means FF4-9 are not same damn combat?

>>256010497
You mean your own tears from getting told.
It's okay, I know FF fans don't actually play other jrpgs so you didn't know.
DQ has better porn.
>>256010267
Imagine a world where the talent never left Square. I have faith in what they left such as Hiroyuki Ito and even Nomura to a certain extent but goddamn it would be nice if they were all still there.
>>256010558
If only because Square won't release Dragon Quest to the west.
The stories and fantasies in the Dragon Quest series has always been western inspired. Final Fantasy has juggled its image around so many times.
>>256010643

Dragon Quest is stagnant, and is only better than Final Fantasy now because everything is. You really only have to play one Dragon Quest to have played them all.

Sales never died out, though. Plus the earlier games had tons of ports to other systems. I do think the Squeenix merge reduced the release frame for Dragon Quest games, but they already manage to hit big numbers in Japan.

It's an amazing game, and one of my favorites. I'm just dumping JRPG music that isn't DQ or FF to stay nuetral
>>256010847
This all depends on what you consider to be a compelling story. DQ tends to stick with the "ancient evil trying to destroy the world" bits (although they do love their "sudden tweest" moments too, like the ending to 3, the secret ending to 8, etc) instead of trying to write some 'critique of modern society' or 'gaming's citizen kane' whatever the fuck. But that doesn't mean the stories are bad. They're usually very well written, they just also happen to be archetypal fantasy stuff.
As for characters, aside from the hero (which is almost always silent, rarely has a default name, and occasionally has a fixed gender) the DQ series goes back and forth between set characters and create-your-own characters. But FWIW the most popular games in the series almost always have the strongest cast of characters (4, 5, 8, etc).
Not sure what you're really looking for here though.
>>256011118

It came out first, true, but most Westerners cut their JRPG teeth on FF7, FF8, FF10, orPersona 3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAfbXuMDTSc
People who bitch about JRPGs always bitch about the same things and always associate everything with FF. Many JRPGs try to distance themselves from FF as a result but rarely do they excel at it and a lot of them just go unheard of in the West.
Grinding is non-existent in most JRPGs outside of DQ and stuff like Disgaea.
A lot of them no longer use turn based combat anymore, even though its not that bad.
Not every modern JRPG is Neptunia or Persona.

I mean to be fair I did forget about emulation because it's 4 in the goddamn morning, so I'll give that a try once I have time to play games.

>>256013464
Except for the thousands of people that got a free copy of DW1 for renewing Nintendo Power.
I wish Enix just left the advertisement for DQ to Nintendo back in the 80's. They most likely could have kept the series going instead of the fizzling out and randomly coming back 10 years later and being shocked it's only selling half a million.

Dragon quest is dead to Square Enix in the US. It doesn't sell millions with lines going on for blocks when a new game is released like in Japan. This is why we will never get another dragon quest game ever again and isntead we'll get more Lightning.
>>256013871

Nah. Just looking at how they treat ARR shows that's not true. It's definitely Nintendo.

I've never tried it on a PC, but I'd imagine Nintendo has a lock on it.

I was damn disappointed with DQIX. The main storyline was very dull and the postgame content was little more than running through similar dungeons or grinding up other classes. And I bought the game when it came out too, so I was hardly not supporting them.
Was 4-6 any better in that regard, or was it the same sort of "go to town, hear sad story, resolve issue" for every location? Because while the little stories can be nice, it gets very boring when that's the only thing there is to do.

>>256013530
Outside of DQ 1&2 you never need to grind in a Dragon Quest game. The series is all about exploring and finding your way around a giant world. So you easily get lost and while lost you fight more enemies than you normally should. But because you are not focusing on battling you don't think about the battles since they always go by fast. That's the secret to DQ. The only reason you need to grind is you are replaying it and know where to go next. Or reading a guide which you should never need for Dragon Quest.
>>256014349
That's kind of how all Dragon Quest games work. The idea is that the overarching story advances with the slow pushes forward made by helping out the people with their plights.
>That feel when i like ATB system
>That feel when the old FF games were constructing themselves around it
>That feel when they wet full out retarded later on
>>256014349
9 focused too much on the self insert and create-a-characters so there really wasn't much of a story.
The others were better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZC9Tx3rlYk
If not for Level 5 Dragon Quest would be irrelevant.
As a long time fan, I don't see how Dragon Quest isn't dead and in the ground.
I've been playing them for years, and DWVII on the PS1 is one of my personal favorite games, but the franchise has never and will never rise to Final Fantasy's quality.
It just won't. It's too boring. It's afraid. It plays it safe. Its games are always a little bit rough or frustrating in one silly way or another. It doesn't care as much for graceful design, or taking risks, and it doesn't have a lavish budget if it wanted to. It's themes aren't as complex and its goals aren't as grand.
If you think any Dragon series entry has approached a game like Final Fantasy VII or Final Fantasy IX in terms of quality, you're wrong. It's not an argument, you don't have any ground to stand on.
Not that I'm saying the Dragon series is shit, because I'm not, but the cool thing to do these past few years has been to downplay the Final Fantasy classics as much as possible, and it needs to stop.

I was disappointed with IX as well, and I'm a big fan of the series. The story wasn't very interesting or compelling, the writing was weaker than usual, the lack ofrandom encountersmade it feel less DQ-like, the create-a-party had no personality, and overall the game just seemed like one giant "but look how much you can griiiiiiiind!" jerkoff.
By contrast, the story's of 4 and 5 are some of the best in the series IMO. 4 is a set of stories-within-a-story, where the first 4 chapters are self contained adventures with fixed characters, but then in chapter 5 the hero emerges and you collect your band of heroes from the characters you built (and came to love) in the first 4 chapters, and your merry band descends into hell to punish evil. 5 is an incredibly ambitious bit tale about the heroes entire life, from birth to fatherhood.

Anon, I do see what you're saying.
But I think you're wrong in saying DQ has never approached VII or IX in terms of quality, and I love both of those games.
Dragon Quest V is an absolutely beautiful piece of work.

always preferred DQ over FF except for FF5,6 and the tactics games
>>256015052
works fine for me :^)
>>256006618
you can "experiment", making some of the game bad, but when you're a multi-billion dollar company making the biggest JRPG of the moment, you have no excuse to deliver a corridor simulator

The problem with IX is that it seem like it was just their prototype for what they planned on doing which was X. It still have charm and enjoyable to me. But the game doesn't feel like a mainline game. Like how FFXI doesn't feel like a mainline FF game.

What I was asking for were ROM's.
You gave me emulators.
I already have an emulator.

The music that was in the demo at E3 made me fucking jizz, and they didn't release enough on the story to judge. The gameplay however is a shame; the environments are nice though
Daily reminder that there were RPGs on the SNES with no random encounters or turn-based combat, and therefore every RPG with those things released afterwards has no excuse, and is automatically a shit game.

>>256017370
Random encounters serve a point you know. They are meant to be a game of chance. Do you risk taking that step to get the chest? You see the steps leading up but there's a door there. Do you risk taking the extra moves to see what's behind it? Stuff like that. Where each step could be your downfall.

>Dragon Quest is built on doing the same shit over and over.
Final Fantasy is built on trying new shit all the time.
>>256018251
How.
How
How can you build something if you're not building upon anything
If you're always trying to reinvent the wheel either hit or miss taking into account that if you miss this is the gameplay you have to deal with for 50+ hours why not just getting the core mechanics right, why having to make flashy combat systems that go nowhere, why?
>>256014265
Last I heard, they removed the IP block on DQX

>>256018382
Because some devs arent into stagnation.
Takes some balls to do that and some devs that have faith in what they do.
I wouldnt play FF anymore if it still played like FF1, just like I seriously dont give a shit about DQ anymore at this point.
Final Fantasy is flashy and ambitious while Dragon Quest is more down-to-earth and consistent. We have room for both.

There are only so many ways to fucking make gameplay before you are adding pointless, mindless gimmicks that are universally reviled.
In all honesty gameplay hit it's plateau a long time ago, 'development' now consist of people being unable to accept that simple truth.
>>256019026
Yeah some devs are into FMV budget sinks with the depth of a puddle, I get that alright.
>There are only so many ways to fucking make gameplay before you are adding pointless, mindless gimmicks that are universally reviled.

No.And fuck you for even thinking something like that.
Like holy shit I'm screencapping this post for future use because its so awful.
>>256019345
Mang you're talking about the depth of a puddle while defending DQ, which might be the most simplistic jrpg ever made.
>>256019804
An FMV budget sink with the depth of a puddle is way worse than a homely game with the depth of a puddle.
At least one of them has its expectations set up and actually conveys something during its execution, and the other is a Final Fantasy game.
>>256014662
And yet I was a Final Fantasy fan up til FFX and still find DQ8 way more addictive than FF9 my first JRPG, childhood nostalgia couldn't even beat how fun it was and how easily it drew me in. DQ games may not be great to play all the games for some but playing one of them for the first time is fucking orgasmic.
>>256019979
>a game with more quality aspects is worse than a game with less
Must be true.
I wonder what DQ games try to convey. Outside of trying to get away with changing as little as possible I mean.
DQ keeps the same battle system but refines it, FF should (or should've started a long time ago) start doing this.
Not to say every DQ game is outright better than the last in every respect. While DQ8 had excellent graphics and production values, even DQ3 beats it out in terms of core battle/party building gameplay.
>>256020318

>being a budget sinkhole that spends 40% of its 100+m production budget in fucking cutscenes
>>256014046
> This is why we will never get another dragon quest game ever again
No, it's because Square is afraid that Enix's baby will dominate in the west and the east, leaving their lil baby alone.
DQIX sold really well and Nintendo would market DQ games on 3DS but Square doesn't let it happen.
>>256017836
Actually
FF: Romance
DQ: Adventure
