Time to play Duraguno Quwesto Sixu.

I thought VIII, V, and III were decent in their own ways, but I, IV, VI, VII and IX were subpar. I dropped VI pretty early on. What in your opinion makes it good?
I'll bump
it's pretty standard. i enjoyed the whole darned thing tho.
>>342805471
Not OP, but DQ6 is really clean with it's story and sprite animations. The story is, for the most part, coherent and interesting. The sprites look good, especially the DS version.
The DS version is what took my breath away. Being able to talk to all of your party members, having them comment on situations that were happening and react to them. It was pretty mind-blowing. I really got a feel of each character's personality. First time I legitimately cared about my individual party members.
Outside of that however, it's a pretty standard JRPG. It's okay if you dropped it. In fact, the ones that you dropped were the least interesting of the series.
Except VII. VII also has party chat. I played VII after VI. VII rocks. You darned fool.
>>342804845
it would be Doragon Kuesuto Shikkusu
>>342808390
I'm pretty much with what you said, I also liked that it wasn't as linear as V was, especially when you were looking for the legendary equipment
I made it to the final boss kinda under leveled and of course, beat me. I didn't care about grinding so I dropped the game.

>Dragon Ball Z is Toriyama taking a more sci fi approach
>Dragon Quest is Toriyama influenced by Western mythology
Why do people dislike IX so much? It's one of my favorites. Thought it had one of the more interesting stories, each of the town's arcs were really well done, and the game has an insane amount of postgame content.
>>342809324
felt waaaay to episodic
>>342809324
likely a lot of people coming off VIII and it's character driven story were put off by the silent, flat party
>>342809324
>>342809493
also it was clearly a game made for multiplayer amongst the normies in japland and DQ is niche as fuck in the West so no one could really play the game in the intended manner
>>342809324
because it came out after the best game in the series
>>342804845
>Duraguno
>no
>westo
>ixu
Anyway, try to have fun, it, II, and IX are my least favorite.
>>342804845
hcbailly that you?? god damn the only lper who ever who actually does complete walkthroughs fuck everyone else
I really like 6, it's the first non-monsters game I'm playing..
I'm looking forward to playing the rest.
>>342811368
If you liked the Monsters games play V afterwards
>>342811508
Oh, that's the one I just ordered off Ebay! I can't wait now!
>>342811508
Is there monster taming elements in it?
Is it just as grindy as Joker?
>>342811540
you're in for a treat anongood luck recruiting this motherfucker
>>342811794
>Is there monster taming elements in it?
one of the first RPGs period to have such elements
>Is it just as grindy as Joker?
no
>>342811049
HCBailly fucking rocks, man. Can't wait for his DQ6 LP.
>>342811794
>>342811957
amended statement: no, unless you're try to recruit some of the tougher monsters to recruit since some of them (like the aforementioned liquid metal slime) have impossibly low odds of recruitment and there's no way to modify them
but you're not really going to need them anyways, there are monsters that are easy to recruit and will serve you the whole game
I always preferred Finaru Fantaji
>>342811957
>>342812206
Fucking stoked.
>>342813135
>Pre-2000
FF>DQ
>Post-2000
DQ>>>>>>FF
90s DQ (and DQ III) were pretty fucking good too though.
>>342814217
There's nothing to them though.
III is just a game. I don't know any other way to put it.
>>342814376
honestly that part of the charm of the series is how minimal the plots are, it's comfy just to explore and fight monsters along the way
>>342814376
>III is just a game.
Kinda like literally every game ever?
I've only finished V and IX so far in the series, and played VIII up until my PS2 died, but I wanna go ahead and play the rest of the series, though I was kinda bummed out about IV having its party chat stripped out, and I don't want to play VII when the 3DS version is gonna come out soon
>>342814639
play the mobile version of IV if possible
and III as well
>>342814639
Android version of IV has party chat if you want to give that a try. You can finish a few games between now and September if you wanted. You could easily knock out the Loto trilogy.
>>342814634
Is this a game to you, anon?

Just got to the part whereyou use the mirror of Ra to beat Murdaw for real, and now it's time to go look for the protag's body.
I'm enjoying it but it feels pretty standard. The dreamworld plot is functional but it's not really doing much for me.
I keep forgetting if I'm in the real world or the dream one, since there are no obvious things to tell them apart. Makes that part of the plot feel like irrelevant background noise, honestly.
Milly is best girl. Barbara's name change in the DS version is dumb as hell.
I'm bored. I've played DQ VII and VIII 3DS. AMA. Be sure to upvote.
Where the hell do i fight LMS in DQ5? Been trying to find those little scumbags for days now
>>342816447
That's the point at which I got really bored, as the game kinda loses direction until the end after that point. DQ VI really isn't as good as most of the others. It's not shit, but there are far better DQ games.
>Bunny girls
Oh yeah, there was a kid with a bunny girl for a mom in one of the games, but I can't remember which one. Might have been VI.
>>342816620
It's VI, yes.
>>342816605
look near the cave where you searched for Prince Harry as a kid
>>342816529
How long is VII
>>342816620
I liked that it was more open-ended, it felt refreshing after the very linear V
>>342816707
>>342816620
Yeah, open-endedness is more standard for DQ, the very story focused IV and V were highly unusual for the series.
At least up to this point. I've not played VII, VIII or IX.
>>342816662
I know they really spiced that line up in the English version, but for the life of me, I can't remember the Japanese line. That's true for a lot of things though, a lot of writing is pretty dry in Japanese.
>How long is VII
Took me 138 hours, but I'd never played VII at all before and I didn't know exactly what I was doing because of that. I also took my time, went back to re-explore every area after reaching the present, and did some stuff that was probably optional, but not all optional content. I didn't do the optional dungeons. I've read on Japanese sites that it can be finished in 50-60 hours if you know what you're doing, but that's probably if you're rushing as fast as you can.
>>342816818
IX is basically III with multiplayer, a deeper job system, and fully customizable characters
can't really speak for the other two
>>342816818
7 and 8 are kinda story focused.
>>342816946
>138 hours not including bonus stuff
Fuck yes
Can't wait for this to come out
