You gained my respect for listing DQIII so high. It's still my favorite DQ to date, and I've played most of them.

its a shame enix never released dq 5 to the west right away. that game is easily just as good as chrono trigger if not better and its also a shame not many people know about it. if dq5 released in the us back in the 90s i believe the series would of been successful around the world but enix made the mistake of only releasing it in Japan. Im glad we at least got remake of it on the ds

So glad I got into Dragon Quest I absolutely love this series. It has such a rich history and nearly every entry is a solid and fun experience! Great video man! I hope to make more dragon quest related content on my channel in the near future! :) keep up the good work!

You certainly look interesting for a Spiteful Crow.

As a composer and at the same time a retrogame-lover/creator, there is also the circumstance i wanted to suck up all the early entries for their greatness overall, but also especially in seeing what they would be able to do with the NES Hardware. it's absolutely mind-blowing. Absolutely pristine pixelart and gorgeous Toriyama artwork, and still greatly represented by those few pixels. What great monster designs! And what Mr. Fugiyama was able to do with the 2a03 sound chip is nothing but breathtaking. Superb compositions and use of those few sound channels the NES had. I think the originals of I-IV are worth playing for that reason alone. I got to play the games in chronological order and you can really feel how everything got more and more polished. Currently i'm playing through Dragon Warrior IV and i'm in awe. Looking forward to V and VI, after which i'm certainly making a break. Great channel by the way! From the games i played yet III is by far my favourite, having great hopes for V which is next. I think i will stay with the originals whenever possible, that entails playing the fan-translations of the SFC games, i hope they're good.

The Mainteam for DQ8 was LEVEL 5, the Makers of: Yokai Watch, Inazuma eleven, Proffesor Layton and Ni no kuni ! Ähm yeah, and they made also DQ9.

Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen 5. Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past 4. Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime 3. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age 2.

while I understand that these are his order of favorites, I believe that he was unduly influenced by his hatred of crafting, which in my mind is one of the best things to ever happen to dragonquest. 8 and 11 are my one and two, respectively, with nine being at the bottom, and 5 being fourth. otherwise, a good video.

Dragon Quest VI was my first mainline DQ game although Monsters was my first so I have a soft spot for Terry.

I mean after playing the DQ11S demo, I didn’t really find crafting to be all that band tbh. If anything I found it fun to meticulously craft my items how I want them to be and make them as pristine as possible, and it’s SUPER convenient since you can not only purchase the materials for the recipe you have, making farming for them unnecessary unless you wanna save cash, but 11S made it so you can craft item ANYWHERE rather than just at campfires. So I personally feel like you were a bit harsh on that front tbh.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that hates crafting in games.

Especially when it’s *not* the Atelier series where crafting is part of the gameplay. And DQXI’s crafting is more of a chore, with forging weapons, armor, and accessories, especially if you want to get the best version of each. Why couldn’t they copy DQVIII’s crafting? Crafting in DQXI is more tedious than in DQVIII. Better yet, do away with crafting in DQ series.

When DQ 6, 7, and 4 landed near the bottom you crushed me 😂 Always loved those games. Haven't played the original 3 or 11. I guess they'll never be moved to DS now so I'll probably have to get a Switch in the future (assuming they remake DQ 1-3 for it)

And if you didn't have the ingredients you would have to write down exactly what you needed, look up where to find it, warp all over God's green Earth and hope that the spawn points would appear.

Hi David, Just got through DQXI and I absolutely adored it. I've played IV and V before, loved them too, but I really want to play the first three games. What versions should I play? Switch, GBC or Super Famicom? Are there any quality of life additions GBC or Switch have over Super Famicom?

I really hope we see some of the remakes for the Dragon Quest series on modern consoles. I'm only able to play the series with rom hacks currently on a retropi. Currently my personal favs are DQ5, DQ8, DQ11 so far. I haven't tried 2, 3, 9 or 10 (obvious reasons) but i hope I'm able to play all of them one day.

I really loved this list, but probably because it's basically my ranking as well haha. I personally would put DQ3 slightly over V, but a lot of that's personal preference. I'm just glad to see a Western DQ fan that appreciates just how mind-blowingly good DQIII is, even 32 years later.

Your RPG prowess is ridiculously good. Definitely why I watch your videos. Probably just me, but DQ XI music got to me. The same music reused for every scenario, which made the more intense situation fall flat with the comical music. Then the seconds act felt like a slap to the face... but thats just me! I will give you that the skill tree system was really well done though!

Dragon Quest IX story was most fleshed out

What does that mean?

I liked 8 but never finished it. I come home from work and play it and wake up hours later with my character walking into a corner.

love your videos, is there anyway you can make a video on the golden sun, sly cooper, lost planet, medabots, scooby doo the movie, or akibas series?

This is a good list. :) Good choices placed at nice positions. How come 2 is recognized as the hardest RPG again? And you should do more like this of other RPG series'. :D

DQ3 was the very first DQ game I've ever played and even beat. I then went on to DQ1, 2, then beat DQ4 and recently finished DQ 5. Currently, I'm starting out DQ6, and I feel that in my opinion, it's one of the better ones. DQ3 may have been my first DQ game that I've beaten, but I agree that Dragon Quest 5 totally deserves that #1 spot. The story, music, and gameplay are just beautiful! It's my personally favorite DQ game.

I love them all, even beat part 2 when I was 12 because the battery in 3 went dead and killed my dark world save and well, I'd beaten part 1 so many times as my parents rented it when I was like 3 or 4 and it's the first game I remember playing anyway Atlus and Hargon can sit and spin... The cave with the tough as nails multi-hit red skeletons, the plateau with the sacrifice monkeys to the shrine as your last safe spot before getting killed and throwing your controller a few times... I would put it above part 6. I just never could like the way 6 played to me and I love DQ7 loads more. Good list my man, that was just my own personal opinion about part 6. Dragon Quest forever, subbed!

I loved crafting in Dragon Quest XI. To each their own, I guess

I don't get it when he says "the world map is gone", XI has a world map 😕

Considering he put it at 4th, I don't believe he actually played the game.

He said 11 had a world map, calm down, though he said it's only when your on the ship. Also, he's an old geezer who wants every RPG to be old-school instead of inovating and/or using shortcuts like "select an area" world maps. He also HATES crafting for no reason even if the crafting is extremely simple just because it's crafting and he would rather have you just get everything from chests or buy them instead of finding ingredients and then using them make things.

@@krimsonkatt he named reasons for his hatred of crafting .-. Valid ones infact, sure theyre personal opinions that you might not share but arent all reasons technically just that? Edit: sectionated areas do have a different feel than fully open worlds i personally dont care too much tho aslong as the loading times arent unbarably long

DQ5 was not the first game to have players pick a bride and have time truly pass. Phantasy Star 3 on the Sega Genesis did this back in 1990. In fact, you picked a bride twice which affected which character you would play as over three generations. This is why it was called “generations of doom”. Anyway, great video. I have never played a Dragon Quest which brought me here. :)

Great vid man, dragon quest needs more supporters like you

In terms of RPGs utilizing monster capturing, Megami Tensei actually predates DQ5 by a few years

11 is my favorite by far. It addresses controversial topics in a tasteful manner like coming out. Ala Sylvando. The ability to change between 2d and 3d is amazing and hearkens back to oldschool DQ. Plus there is so much to do. I love the combat the classes and the progression system. However i disagree with Davids assertion that the crafting is a waste of time. The game offers you an option to buy the needed materials. Its not like its hard to make money in game. In fact its painfully easy. The crafting is rewarding and gives you a sense of achievement when you get your first +3 item. So dont let that dissaude anyone from playing. Try it the characters are fantastic and the voice acting is top notch. Its a must play.

Nice video, and a solid list! I don't personally find the crafting that bad, but you definitely nailed everything else!

Every time I think about what my favorite game in any series is, the main determining factor is how many times I've played it, so that would make 5 my favorite, although I also really like 3, 4, 8, and 11.

Hayo, retro gamer here lookin' for a simple recommendation. I'm here after the Smash Bros. character announcement, and would like to know where to start playing this industry significant series. _Which entry will give my friends and I the broadest impression of the franchise-??_

YES! I was waiting for this!

I’m really surprised so many lists have DQ4 so low. I really liked that game and thought the final boss was epic with all the different forms. DQ 5 is really good and the story is deep. I have played 6, 7, or 11 yet but I’m hoping to this winter

I'm playing dq11 right now and I only came here wanting to here you yap about your opinion on the game lol. I might be missing it but did you ever do a review on dq11? I see the let's play you did. I'm curious about who your favorite party was and whatnot haha

Your videos are kinda like snacks. I could eat'em constantly. I mean, watch them. My list would be similar, though for me 3 tops over 5, but only for nostalgia's sake and having played 3 with my brothers, naming our team after ourselves. 5 has a much more gripping story and I love the marriage aspect, especially with the last minute proposal in the DS remake... though I still always choose Bianca cause she's blonde like my girlfriend. I like the crafting in 11. It got a lot easier when I realized I could heat the item being crafted multiple times to make strikes do more, allowing my greater control. I enjoyed making +2/+3 weapons and armor fairly consistently. You can ignore it for the early game too, but obviously they intend for you to do it. my one gripe with 11 is I don't like the main character's look. D:

not a bad list here's my ranking (out of the ones i've played, yet to play 9, 10 and 11, I doubt i'll ever play 10) 1.VIII 2.V 3.IV 4.VII 5.VI 6.III 7.I 8.II

As far as DQ8 is concerned which do you prefer - PS2 or 3DS? Is the portable version comparable to DQ7 treatment where they really tightened pacing and such?

The pacing didn't really need improvement in 8, but they instead added some new playable characters to give you a reason to buy.

I love Dragon Quest!! Played all these!

Having only played 1, 8, 9 & 11 I've heard from you about how good 3 is am I'm wondering which version besides the mobile (don't have the money to get it) and the Switch (same as with the mobile) you would recommend getting? (I'm emulate it on my Android phone). Love hearing your thoughts on rpg games, it gives me some good ideas on games to play. I tend to have a short attention span and get bored easily unfortunately, this I'm currently playing about 50+ rpg games atm. 😥

This is the 1st time I seen XI getting ranked any lower than #2 and in which I usually see it as #1, it's your list so no complaints. But it is still a surprise. And If XI isn't #1, I figured it was either going to be V or VIII. III being all the way up at #2 is also something very rare, but understandable in terms of how much it paved the way for the series.
