oh common everyone loves him, give it up straight boy you are just homophobic and that's on period luv. Dont @ me cuz your sense for good characters is obviously B - rocken
@Fugghighf Ghggfghhjhf Was that other guy Booga by any chance? Because his charm attacks can affect everyone you'll likely have in your party at that point in act 2, who are all male mind you.
Well because its easier to love characters which speak and on 3D with a voice. In my opinion if you put a voice and make the fifth hero speak it would be the greatest character.
Right? I love the story so much in 5. I was so happy Bianca was ranked so high, she's easily my favorite character from the game. Or to put it true nerd terms: TOP TIER WAIFU!!
Torneko Taloon (DW 4) had one of the most unique chapter/story in any Jrpg, multiple appearances outside of DW/DQ and his own SERIES of spinoff games! Kinda dropped it there mojo.
While every DQ game has its own charm, I have to say that I personally like DQVIII the most. It was the game that made me want to play more JRPGs in general and which had such a nice style, approach, characters and story.
I honestly would've picked Corvus from DQ9. He's literally Lucifer after falling to earth and gaining a hatred for humanity even fully shedding his celestial form to become a demon and ultimately "kill" God himself.
Maribel and Hermione Granger , I had listened to all 7 HPotter audiobooks back to back and was binge watching all 7 films at the same time I played dq7 ( for the 3ds) and these two seemed like they would be sisters .
I'm amazed Bianca doesn't die from a tragic fate do to having a variation of standard anime mom hair, being braided instead of a loose over the shoulder side ponytail.
I can't disagree with it. So many good characters in that game. It's greatest appeal was the outstanding cast. The only thing I'd change on this list myself would be giving Yangus the top spot. The legendary bandit deserves nothing less XD.
It has one that best casts that help to make a story that, let's face it, has been to death FEEL very original and fresh. In fact, when I played it the first time, I didn't notice how standard the setup was until I was describing it to a friend and I went "Wait a minute........oh you magnificent bastards..."

Riccardo Mentegari so you've played it too, can you tell me why the games in this video look wayyyyy better than DQ9?? I remember that DQ9 wasnt this pretty.
Bianca (waifu) wins 1st place obviously But really, the best character in my opinion, with exception of Bianca, would probably be... Rigor Mortex. Seriously, his backstory, his design, his theme, it is haunting and badass. His speech is the most badass out of all of them. His meaning is creepy. His design has uncanny valley vibes and makes him seem like some abstract eldritch god.
Thanks for the DQ video! The more high-profile channels that cover the series, the more popular it becomes in the West, and the higher chances of future games being brought West from Japan. Also, thanks for pronouncing Erdrick correctly, for some reason even a lot of fans seem to pronounce it oddly.
LOVE this vid !! Watchmojo , you did good. were I to add anything it would be Baramos , DW3 for the NES..... a bipedal stegosaurus....the sumbitch smoked my party like a ham 3 times in a row and when i found him in DQ9 as a bonus boss I made it a point to kick his ass over and over without letting him level up. Hmmph ! , thatll larn him !
Seeings how this list is 3 years old, I feel that hargon, though only an honorable mention, deserves an honorary update. He is now also in dragon quest Builders 2.
I got a good idea for a top-10 list! It's a bit of a tricky one. Here goes: Top ten features in video games that are very realistic and completely unrealistic at the same time. I don't have a full 10 for you, but here's two I can think of to give you an idea of what I'm talking about. 1. In Skyrim, you can put a bucket upside-down over a shopkeeper's head and then steal all of the stuff from his shop. This makes sence because he can't see anything around him with a bucket over his head ( = realistic) but why on earth does he not respond to his customer putting a bucket over his head?! ( = not realistic) 2. In Battlefield 1, lying on flat on top of a live grenade increases your chances of surviving the explosion. Not quite certain how that works, but my guess is that the area of your body exposed to the grenade is smaller, therefore, a smaller portion of your body gets hit by shrapnel ( = realistic?) but of course, lying face-down on top of a grenade would in reality result in nothing less than your body being blown completely into bits ( = unrealistic)
Nera isn't a bad character, and I really don't think WM did her justice here by including her solely for a story that happens to any wife you choose (really should have actually talked about her more), but I honestly think the reason some people hate on her is because she's introduced so late and barely interacted with at all before you're given the option to marry her. From a story standpoint, Bianca just makes more sense because you've spent so much of the game traveling with and getting to know her. I think people would have been kinder to her if they had given her a bigger part beforehand.
There wasn't a single choice I had a problem with...tho I think King Trode should have gotten an honorable mention xD. You should do a worst character list too! and Charmles should be at the top!
3:04 -Ah! Kiryl X Alena moment!Yes, I hardcore ship them. It's practically canon.Btw, Kiryl's my favorite character. I like his personality and his voice, and he's cute as fuck.
Pfff I mean an actual one. For PC or a big console. Given that they released Heroes for PC too (even though it was a steamy hot piece of shit), that barrier is borken. I'd give a kidney to play it on PC.
Asrlex95 I haven't finished VIII yet (I'm waiting for the 3DS version to come out in English, I just don't have time to play an RPG on a console anymore), but I've never had any problems running DQVIII in PCSX2. In fact, if you turn up internal resolution and turn on anti-aliasing, it looks pretty good. There's a setting in the GSDX that fixes the ugly looking font, if that's your problem.
Erdrick The Hero no, I didn't mean that hahaha. I replayed it on the emulator and it ran perfectly (albeit the occasional shadow bug). It's just that I don't really like the program. I might eventually buy it and play it on my brother's 3DS, it would be great playing DQ on the go. And if you didn't finish it, I encourage to do it, there's quite a lot of epilogue content (it took me around 120 hhours to fully complete it).
I do plan on finishing DQVIII, but with the 3DS version coming here in January I can wait. I still haven't beat DQ7 on 3DS even (admittedly, I haven't spent much time on it). Plus the 3DS version has more endgame content. :)
Nera is my favorite character in the series next to Jessica, so that's a plus. 6/10 characters on here are great for the most part (Terry, Eight, Yangus, Ashlynn, Bianca and Erdrick). My only issue is....WHERE'S THE IX CHARACTERS? You could've picked the Ninth Hero/Heroine, Greygnarl, Aquila....CORVUS. IX is arguably the best in the series next to VII and VII. So many good characters in that game and a boss was chosen. ;-;
Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is my favourite of the Dragon Quest games because this was the very first game I ever played i was 5 years old. My dad was a Dragon Quest fan and he complete the game many times well over 10 and he had powerful Monsters once he completed it he let me have the old saves he had dragon lords, and meany other x ranks he also did the same for me on DQMJ 2 those days we're so much fun I miss them... but now i have one and two for my self so i think its about time i complete them for myself.
Where the hell is Rocket, Psaro and Angelo? This list isn't any goo, it's just as awful as that awkward monopoly game that combined Mario and Dragon Quest characters.
A little disappointed she was only a mention and I would have liked to see Erinn since I always go to Stornway to heal even though I have Too Much Money from grinding... I still haven't fought Corvus actually : / I almost cried when I had to give up being a celestial
frostedSkies My first was DQIX, but I got DQVI on the DS (I barely played 1/4th of it because I got bored of it). Then on the 3DS I got DQVII and am still playing through it. I'm having a hard time picking between the two. Oh and ... *****SPOILER ALERT***** In DQIX you rebecome a celestian, and Corvus isn't the ending to the game. There are bonus dungeons with new bosses, and a extra saga of story after Corvus.
Wow, really?! Damn, I'm grinding for level 50 for a nice endgame but there's more after?? I already have over 120 hours XD I keep forgetting about the dungeons and quests though, so I might do those at some point!
Woke up this morning oh shit trump won Woke up in a alternative universe Oh shit hilary won Woke up in alternative universe where everybody is smart Oh shit bernie won
So you wanna have Bernie as president cause you're smart for thinking that. Yea so smart coming from someone that says "a alternate universe" instead of "AN alternate universe"
I loved the 8th hero was in this list. He is my fav char in dragon quest game. Then come maya. I am glad many character from dragon quest 8 was in. I just truly love that dragon quest so much ^^
I have only played four games (three main games). 1/4th of Dragon Quest VI, and about 1/5th of Dragon Quest VII. I have beaten Dragon Quest IX, and Dragon Quest Monster Joker II. I'm currently playing through DQVII, and plan on getting DQVIII. I might be a little biased torwards DQIX, but seriously how could the Gran Lizard be a honorable mention, but not Stella, Aquala, or especially Corvus. Corvus is one of my favorite major villains from the series. Ok, I like the Grand Lizard, but no! Corvus, Stella, and Aquala would have fit honorable mentions better. Not to mention Ivor or the ninth hero. I'm not even asking for them to be in the list since I know some of these characters you put deserve the spot, but when you use the Lizard as a honorable mention I just can't resist complaining how there were better characters from DQIX.
I've always liked Terry as my favorite. Dq6 was my first dq game when I was little. Therefore I was the worst dq player ever. But through out the journey, I was reeeeeally hoping that Terry would become a party member, and was really happy that he did. Of course knowing that I was the wdq6pe, I never got Amos as a party member.
Always wanted to get a behind the scenes look at how UA-cam works? WatchMojo's new book "The 10-Year Overnight Success" covers entrepreneurship, #WTFU, the media business & breaks down what it takes to cut through the clutter by chronicling the origins of WatchMojo and UA-cam, with anecdotes and stories over the course of WatchMojo and UA-cam's 10 year history. Paperback: goo.gl/93prjz Kindle: goo.gl/Hs1hKq
Last Chance Breaker! I always found Corvus cliché and poorly done. "My lover betrayed me! I've been left to rot away! I have a significant connection to recurring characters! I'm morally complex!" Ugh! Get the fuck out of my otherwise amazing game, and give me a DIFFERENT boss! I LOVE Dragon Quest 9. Make no mistake. It was the first Dragon Quest game I ever played. But Corvus just soured the experience for me. I'd rather take a rehash of the Dread Fiends from Dragon Quest 6. At least then I get villains that are irredeemably bad on all levels that I can enjoy killing. *looks at how Mortamor is a boss in 9 thanks to grottos* ...Thank you, Squenix.
Trunks1stApprentice I can see where you're coming from for sure, but that won't change my opinion on Corvus being a good character. That also doesn't explain why WM overlooked every other good character in DQ9 in favour of other mediocre characters
Last Chance Breaker! As far as Bianca, Terry, and Yangus go, they earned their place. If I had to pick a Dragon Quest 9 character to put on the list. I would choose... Probably Doctor... Phleming, I think his name is spelt? I don't know. I just like the doctor. Especially with how after the stuff in Coffinwell, when you visit, he'll teach people stuff by day, and be watched by his wife's ghost in the lab by night.
1:47 The original pokémon champion (well, monster scout champion) was Milly from that game! She even predates Blue. 3:30 I know it was part because of a deceased real-life loved one but, I really gotta wonder if Ashlynn played part on the development of Aerith/Aeris' story from FFVII. 9:40 I really like Ashlynn, but after her I guess... Stella from Dragon Quest IX or Ruff from DQVII.
Apparantly a random one off monster from Dragon Quest IX deserved to be in the honorable mentions above Kiefer, Maribel, Ruff, Carver, Milly, Ragnar, Torneko, Psaro, Angelo, and a bunch of other characters I'm probably forgetting from the spin-offs but I guarantee they would deserve it more over Grand Lizzier from DQ9.
Psaro the Manslayer/Necrosaro is a very tragic villain. This list mentioned Hargon as a runner up, so it's surprising to not see him mentioned as well.
I'm glad Bianca claimed the top spot, as she's really a great character. Some of my other personal favorites are: Hassan/Carver from Dragon Quest VI, the very definition of a bro! Gema/Ladja from DQV, probably the most detestable villain in all of RPGs (even if they did make him talk like Yakov Smirnov in the DS remake)! And the legendary hero, chosen ally of God Almighty, and withered old man, Melvin/Sir Mervyn from DQVII!
Meena/Nara is my favorite. I understand why she isn't on the list though; she's very low key and is more of a 'push the plot forward' character. Her character is very well rounded with having a good equipment draw (all metal babble gear can be equipped), a mix of healing/support/offensive magic, and well rounded stats (other than hp in the original DW4, but they fixed that in the DS remake). Plus, the farewell/kerplunk spell enables her to give your ENTIRE PARTY a second chance and the cost of her mp and life (back before multiple people could learn this and in the first series that had a party bigger than 4).
Has anyone already commented that Terry looks like Link without the long hat? I’m also kind of wondering if DQ8 is where they got the idea for Goku Black’s Super Saiyan Rose form.
Where's Torneko Taloon in this list? He not only is a chosen warrior of light in Dragon Quest IV, but he also is the star of his own set of Mystery Dungeon games, cameoed in countless Dragon Quest main titles and spin-offs. He's a family man who started his own mercantile legacy by beating up slimes to get iron armor, stealing a Goddess statue, starting his own business in a major city and sailing to far off lands with his wife and son to gain more riches once he helped defeat the great evil started by Psaro the Manslayer.
1:16 Setting the record straight, Nera and Bianca are descendants of the hero of Dragon Quest 4. The hero of Dragon Quest 6 has no descendants. If Nera really was the descendant of Dragon Quest 6, then her son would NOT be able to use the Zenithian armor and sword because the Dragon Quest 6 hero is fully human, not half Zenithian like the Dragon Quest 4 hero.
King Trode of course! His constant cursing of that "Despicable Dhoulmagus!" is always hilarious, and his awesome voice is like the entire Monty Python combined into a green small freak. Yangus ain't far behind either though.
You know how I can tell this is old?
Because Sylvando isn’t #1, darling.
jbleichman Erik would be my #1
I can't stand his ass...
oh common everyone loves him, give it up straight boy you are just homophobic and that's on period luv. Dont @ me cuz your sense for good characters is obviously B - rocken
Even though I'm straight, Sylvando is arguably my favorite party member in 11 by proxy of their character (Veronica and Erik coming behind him).
@Fugghighf Ghggfghhjhf Was that other guy Booga by any chance? Because his charm attacks can affect everyone you'll likely have in your party at that point in act 2, who are all male mind you.
Dragon Quest 8 has the best characters from the whole series. DQ 11 characters are getting there too, imo.
Well because its easier to love characters which speak and on 3D with a voice. In my opinion if you put a voice and make the fifth hero speak it would be the greatest character.
Erik from 11 is the GOAT
I agree , Ragazo
Dragon quest VIII
Best game ever
TheRayric Definitely
now XI
FOr sure
Dragon Quest 11: Hold my beer!
best during its time and forevermore
It's a rather new addition but Sylvando from Dragon Quest XI steals the show in all the right ways.
Sylv is a flamboyant legend
I was going to say this list needs a do-over since the advent of XI...
Ew he sucks
Sylvando is EASILY the best character in 11.
@@skyatollah2skyharder276 nope wrong
Cor Blimey!!! How was Yangus not #1? C'mon Guv you've got ta pullin me leg, choosin' a bird over me mate Yangus.
Ayy ragazo ,that is not multo benne , Yangus and Ragazo are the best
hand of the heavenly bride was one of my favorite games of all time
Natsudragneel567 Same it had a amazing story.I nearly cried when the 5th hero was in the prison.
Right? I love the story so much in 5. I was so happy Bianca was ranked so high, she's easily my favorite character from the game. Or to put it true nerd terms: TOP TIER WAIFU!!
I was so glad that I randomly found this game in a gamestop and decided to buy it. It’s such an amazing game. NERA FOR THE WIN
NERA ALL THE WAAAY
Psaro from Dragon Quest IV deserved, at least, an honorable mention.
Saro is the most fleshed out bad guy in the series. Absolutely needs to be on this list.
Not even a honourable mention for Angelo or King Trode? Sadly I have only played VI, VIII and IX.
Sir Crocodile
IV is delightful! The characters have so much pizzazz and are very fun! There is a remake on mobile which allows you to have party talk.
You should really try out VII, different feel but amazing game!
Kinn Crimson if you ever have a chance play III and V.
Trode is awesome.
No Torneko but Maya and Ashlynn? Crap list.
Fun fact: The Eight Hero's default name is Eight.
Fun Fact: The eleventh hero's default name is eleven
So will that mean the 69th title will have the default name ‘Sixty Nine’?
That's wrong his name is , Ragazo
Fun fact: The character designer is the same man who created the Dragon Ball franchise.
Fun Fact: Erdrick is a title, and the 3rd hero’s name is Arusu.
Torneko Taloon (DW 4) had one of the most unique chapter/story in any Jrpg, multiple appearances outside of DW/DQ and his own SERIES of spinoff games! Kinda dropped it there mojo.
He's not even mentioned honorably.
More than kinda. He should be atleast top 3.
adiflyguy Tell me about it! I would never pick taloon as an All-Star. That being said, his games are remarkably fun to play.
He is underrated
I was kinda hoping to see Stella as at least a mention
Me too, she's so charismatic
While every DQ game has its own charm, I have to say that I personally like DQVIII the most. It was the game that made me want to play more JRPGs in general and which had such a nice style, approach, characters and story.
I honestly would've picked Corvus from DQ9. He's literally Lucifer after falling to earth and gaining a hatred for humanity even fully shedding his celestial form to become a demon and ultimately "kill" God himself.
TheEliteGaming same
Light the Shadow Reaper yeah ikr
Light the Shadow Reaper i agree sooo much. i was hoping he would be at least SOMEWHERE on the list, but alas no such luck
Yeah, I was just thinkin about Corvus too and my god the first time you peep him he looks creepy as hell
Ace Roberts so tough though
If this was made later down the line, Sylvando and Rab would've been on here. Such amazing characters.
NO ANGELO?!?!? YOU dare forget him? Meh we got Yangus, Gov and Jessica...
Articus Ramos yeah Angelo is awesome
Articus Ramos ikr no angelo
Angelo was a dick. His heart was in the right place yes, but his attitude wasn't.
As iconic as angelo is because he looks just like freaking TRUNKS he is....lackluster in Dq 8 easy the worst party member.
Angelo was kind of the weak link of the DQ8 cast. He's a character that's been done a million times, and honestly, has been done a lot better.
any Coffinwell character from DQ IX would would be my favorite. that story was tragic yet so beautiful
No DQVII? I love Kiefer and Maribel.
Maribel and Hermione Granger , I had listened to all 7 HPotter audiobooks back to back and was binge watching all 7 films at the same time I played dq7 ( for the 3ds) and these two seemed like they would be sisters .
@@taumpytears6999
Hilariously, I've actually consistently imagined Maribel sounding like Hermione
maribel is SO annoying!
I'm amazed Bianca doesn't die from a tragic fate do to having a variation of standard anime mom hair, being braided instead of a loose over the shoulder side ponytail.
My top picks would be the 5th hero, Terry, Torneko, Ragnar, the 4th hero, Angelo, Bianca, Pankraz, Corvus, and Psaro
Dragon Quest 8 was a big part of my early teens years.
Alena is my favorite. I like her personality and in combat she always gets the first turns, hits like a truck and criticals like there's no tomorrow
agree
Wow
3/4 characters from dragon quest 8
Impressive
Not that I can argue it used to be one of my favorite games when I was small
Nate Carrasco yah man I loved that game, good times.
I can't disagree with it. So many good characters in that game. It's greatest appeal was the outstanding cast.
The only thing I'd change on this list myself would be giving Yangus the top spot. The legendary bandit deserves nothing less XD.
agreed.
It has one that best casts that help to make a story that, let's face it, has been to death FEEL very original and fresh. In fact, when I played it the first time, I didn't notice how standard the setup was until I was describing it to a friend and I went "Wait a minute........oh you magnificent bastards..."

It's quite amazing how few people know about the Dragon Quest series. It's a really good one.
Wait, where's the good dragon from Dragon Quest IX?
Greygnarl?
Yeah, that beast was a hero, also kinda cute
With those feline moustaches, the red nose after he drank his liquor and the attitude of a hero. Cute
Riccardo Mentegari so you've played it too, can you tell me why the games in this video look wayyyyy better than DQ9?? I remember that DQ9 wasnt this pretty.
I actually think that DQ IX is the best one of the saga..
Thank you watchmojo. I love Dragon Quest and I need to feel happy
can u give me the link of that blue smile picture xd i like it
Bianca (waifu) wins 1st place obviously
But really, the best character in my opinion, with exception of Bianca, would probably be... Rigor Mortex.
Seriously, his backstory, his design, his theme, it is haunting and badass. His speech is the most badass out of all of them. His meaning is creepy. His design has uncanny valley vibes and makes him seem like some abstract eldritch god.
Sylvando is the greatest DQ Character!
I can respect this opinion
I agree
Terry is my favorite Dragon Quest character. Since I played my very first DQ: Monsters in Gameboy Color
Thanks for the DQ video! The more high-profile channels that cover the series, the more popular it becomes in the West, and the higher chances of future games being brought West from Japan. Also, thanks for pronouncing Erdrick correctly, for some reason even a lot of fans seem to pronounce it oddly.
Since the hero is already out in Smash Ultimate, I decided to watch this. At least I got to see Erdrick.
It's funny how nobody is actually talking about Dragon Quest.
I love Dragon Quest :(
Morrie from DQ8 should have definitely been on this list.
was hoping Terry would be higher on the list
LOVE this vid !! Watchmojo , you did good.
were I to add anything it would be Baramos , DW3 for the NES..... a bipedal stegosaurus....the sumbitch smoked my party like a ham 3 times in a row and when i found him in DQ9 as a bonus boss I made it a point to kick his ass over and over without letting him level up.
Hmmph ! , thatll larn him !
Seeings how this list is 3 years old, I feel that hargon, though only an honorable mention, deserves an honorary update. He is now also in dragon quest Builders 2.

This makes sence because he can't see anything around him with a bucket over his head ( = realistic) but why on earth does he not respond to his customer putting a bucket over his head?!

Nera? Making a Top 10 Dragon Quest Character list?
For a fan, color me impressed.
A lot of people seem to either not like her or not care about her.
Nera isn't a bad character, and I really don't think WM did her justice here by including her solely for a story that happens to any wife you choose (really should have actually talked about her more), but I honestly think the reason some people hate on her is because she's introduced so late and barely interacted with at all before you're given the option to marry her. From a story standpoint, Bianca just makes more sense because you've spent so much of the game traveling with and getting to know her. I think people would have been kinder to her if they had given her a bigger part beforehand.
The 5th Hero is Luka
I heard it from the movie Dragon Quest Your Story
Kinda wish the final boss of 9 was on here, he's pretty sick and his story is really good
I love Jessica's whip abilities 👌👌 also Yangus is hilarious 😂😂 but I also like Desdemona and Carver
There wasn't a single choice I had a problem with...tho I think King Trode should have gotten an honorable mention xD. You should do a worst character list too! and Charmles should be at the top!
3:04 -Ah! Kiryl X Alena moment!Yes, I hardcore ship them. It's practically canon.Btw, Kiryl's my favorite character. I like his personality and his voice, and he's cute as fuck.
Dragon Quest VIII is my favourite game of all time. I'd love to see it remastered, since PCSX2 doesn't work perfectly.
It be on the 3ds on January 20 2017
Pfff I mean an actual one. For PC or a big console. Given that they released Heroes for PC too (even though it was a steamy hot piece of shit), that barrier is borken. I'd give a kidney to play it on PC.

My only issue is....WHERE'S THE IX CHARACTERS?
You could've picked the Ninth Hero/Heroine, Greygnarl, Aquila....CORVUS.
IX is arguably the best in the series next to VII and VII. So many good characters in that game and a boss was chosen. ;-;
I LOVE Dragon quest
Yacdiss S. Same. And I hate it when people walk around calling Undertale difficult or the best rpg
The Manslayer undertale low key sucks tho like it’s good but it ain’t no dragon quest
I am surprised dragon quest nine is mentioned only. what about Corvus, the hero or aquila.
AQUILA AND CORVUS OMG ! i was waiting so hard for them during the whole thing and then i'm just : "WAIT that's it ?!!"
Tsuke-Kun!! o(≧o≦)o Me to but they only mention the great lizard. Not even a hard boss just dragon slash to hell.
Tsuke-Kun!! o(≧o≦)o You where waiting so hard... that's interesting wording

My dad was a Dragon Quest fan and he complete the game many times well over 10 and he had powerful Monsters once he completed it he let me have the old saves he had dragon lords, and meany other x ranks he also did the same for me on DQMJ 2 those days we're so much fun I miss them... but now i have one and two for my self so i think its about time i complete them for myself.
Where the hell is Rocket, Psaro and Angelo? This list isn't any goo, it's just as awful as that awkward monopoly game that combined Mario and Dragon Quest characters.
Dean Wynn Fortune Street is a series that dates back to the famicom.
Fortune street is a fun variant that is a 2.0 version on Monopoly. Try it w/ friends.
how dare you insult fortune street
YES, STELLA MY BABE!! I've played 9 and 7 and honestly, I much prefer 9, it's been my favourite game since I was 10
A little disappointed she was only a mention and I would have liked to see Erinn since I always go to Stornway to heal even though I have Too Much Money from grinding... I still haven't fought Corvus actually : / I almost cried when I had to give up being a celestial

My first was DQIX, but I got DQVI on the DS (I barely played 1/4th of it because I got bored of it). Then on the 3DS I got DQVII and am still playing through it. I'm having a hard time picking between the two.
Oh and ...
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
In DQIX you rebecome a celestian, and Corvus isn't the ending to the game. There are bonus dungeons with new bosses, and a extra saga of story after Corvus.
Wow, really?! Damn, I'm grinding for level 50 for a nice endgame but there's more after?? I already have over 120 hours XD I keep forgetting about the dungeons and quests though, so I might do those at some point!
Woke up this morning oh shit trump won
Woke up in a alternative universe
Oh shit hilary won
Woke up in alternative universe where everybody is smart
Oh shit bernie won
We are fucked
Stunt Hard hahaha because electing a socialist in a country raised by capitalism is always a good idea
Bobbydactyl hilary and trump were both bad ideas we fucked up the world is laughing at us
So you wanna have Bernie as president cause you're smart for thinking that. Yea so smart coming from someone that says "a alternate universe" instead of "AN alternate universe"
I loved the 8th hero was in this list. He is my fav char in dragon quest game. Then come maya. I am glad many character from dragon quest 8 was in. I just truly love that dragon quest so much ^^
Oh man I played DQ8 so long on the ps2, absolute best Game of my childhood ! What about a remastered version for the ps4 ??
Xx Vio-V xX there an extended remaster coming on the 3ds in January
us sony users want a ps4 version though.. it is a playstation game after all
yeah i would love that but since i have both 3ds and ps4 im just happy i can get it
COR BLIMEY! Glad to see ol Yangus so high on the list. Heck glad to see so many of DQ8's party on the list!
add on Terry's roles in dragon quest monsters and he should be #1
Jessica Albert is hands down the best DQ character.
Just because of her boobs
You can also marry her in the 3DS version of the game if you want.
This brought back memories. I remember playing the original on my nintendo system nearly 30 years ago.
can't agree too much with the list but I'm glad to see Dragon Quest get more recognition
COL BLIMEY! That Yangus is litteraly the reason I will get myself the Dragon Quest 8 game! He is so cool and funny!
Bull, a Dragon Quest list and no mention of Psaro, bull I say!!!!
Yangus is awesome, one of my favorites!
I have only played four games (three main games). 1/4th of Dragon Quest VI, and about 1/5th of Dragon Quest VII. I have beaten Dragon Quest IX, and Dragon Quest Monster Joker II. I'm currently playing through DQVII, and plan on getting DQVIII.
I might be a little biased torwards DQIX, but seriously how could the Gran Lizard be a honorable mention, but not Stella, Aquala, or especially Corvus. Corvus is one of my favorite major villains from the series. Ok, I like the Grand Lizard, but no! Corvus, Stella, and Aquala would have fit honorable mentions better. Not to mention Ivor or the ninth hero. I'm not even asking for them to be in the list since I know some of these characters you put deserve the spot, but when you use the Lizard as a honorable mention I just can't resist complaining how there were better characters from DQIX.
AquaDayton // Dayton Young Ikr why gran lizard when you can mention corvus...
very true, favourite character is greygnarl tho (imo)
I've always liked Terry as my favorite. Dq6 was my first dq game when I was little. Therefore I was the worst dq player ever. But through out the journey, I was reeeeeally hoping that Terry would become a party member, and was really happy that he did. Of course knowing that I was the wdq6pe, I never got Amos as a party member.

Dragon Quest IX was my favorite!!
i'm new to the dragon quest series just need some advice to where to start
What about Dhoulmagus in Dragon Quest 8?
I dont know why people like Dhoulmagus so much ? When he was defeated i was like... Meh... Is that all, seriously ?
Last time I was this early, there was still some hope for America's future.
Skitty Cecil Too soon man...
Skitty Cecil Donald Trump is better than Hillary Clinton a lot
Skitty Cecil Trump is better than Hilary though
Both are shit and also you´re in the wrong comment section to talk about this topic
This is true in context and in general.
Seriously? Just one DQ9 mention? No Greynarl or Corvus? Marionette?
Because there's more than Dragon Quest 9?
Trunks1stApprentice and your point is? Characters like Corvus are more than deserving to at least get a mention
Last Chance Breaker! I always found Corvus cliché and poorly done. "My lover betrayed me! I've been left to rot away! I have a significant connection to recurring characters! I'm morally complex!" Ugh! Get the fuck out of my otherwise amazing game, and give me a DIFFERENT boss!
I LOVE Dragon Quest 9. Make no mistake. It was the first Dragon Quest game I ever played. But Corvus just soured the experience for me. I'd rather take a rehash of the Dread Fiends from Dragon Quest 6. At least then I get villains that are irredeemably bad on all levels that I can enjoy killing. *looks at how Mortamor is a boss in 9 thanks to grottos* ...Thank you, Squenix.
Trunks1stApprentice I can see where you're coming from for sure, but that won't change my opinion on Corvus being a good character. That also doesn't explain why WM overlooked every other good character in DQ9 in favour of other mediocre characters
Last Chance Breaker! As far as Bianca, Terry, and Yangus go, they earned their place. If I had to pick a Dragon Quest 9 character to put on the list. I would choose... Probably Doctor... Phleming, I think his name is spelt? I don't know. I just like the doctor. Especially with how after the stuff in Coffinwell, when you visit, he'll teach people stuff by day, and be watched by his wife's ghost in the lab by night.
1:47 The original pokémon champion (well, monster scout champion) was Milly from that game! She even predates Blue.
3:30 I know it was part because of a deceased real-life loved one but, I really gotta wonder if Ashlynn played part on the development of Aerith/Aeris' story from FFVII.
9:40 I really like Ashlynn, but after her I guess... Stella from Dragon Quest IX or Ruff from DQVII.
Ok.. This list needs an update after DQ XI.. *Hello Sylvando Darlings?*
Ohhhhh yes darlin also I think Raggazo should be there
What is the song in these video
Thank you for reminding me of the underpants dance!!
Apparantly a random one off monster from Dragon Quest IX deserved to be in the honorable mentions above Kiefer, Maribel, Ruff, Carver, Milly, Ragnar, Torneko, Psaro, Angelo, and a bunch of other characters I'm probably forgetting from the spin-offs but I guarantee they would deserve it more over Grand Lizzier from DQ9.
This goes done again bet on Sylvan and Jade BOTH making ANY top 10 as they were both amazing characters for vastly different reasons.
Erik as well ;)
Psaro the Manslayer/Necrosaro is a very tragic villain. This list mentioned Hargon as a runner up, so it's surprising to not see him mentioned as well.
I normally don't go for RPGs, but when I first played the demo of Dragon Quest 8, something just clicked, as they say.
Wish they would have add that the hero of 8 also is half dragon and half human. His Mother is draconian and his Father is a prince.
Is Maribel fron dq7 included?
Alena and Kiryl are my favorite characters to be honest... Still waiting for them to get together...
I'm glad Bianca claimed the top spot, as she's really a great character. Some of my other personal favorites are: Hassan/Carver from Dragon Quest VI, the very definition of a bro! Gema/Ladja from DQV, probably the most detestable villain in all of RPGs (even if they did make him talk like Yakov Smirnov in the DS remake)! And the legendary hero, chosen ally of God Almighty, and withered old man, Melvin/Sir Mervyn from DQVII!
Meena/Nara is my favorite. I understand why she isn't on the list though; she's very low key and is more of a 'push the plot forward' character.
Her character is very well rounded with having a good equipment draw (all metal babble gear can be equipped), a mix of healing/support/offensive magic, and well rounded stats (other than hp in the original DW4, but they fixed that in the DS remake). Plus, the farewell/kerplunk spell enables her to give your ENTIRE PARTY a second chance and the cost of her mp and life (back before multiple people could learn this and in the first series that had a party bigger than 4).
The 8th Hero should be Number 1 !!!! Dragovian badass with a bandana !!!! And looking like Goku/Gohan
how is Pankraz from 5 not on here at all though
Dragon quest and Dragon Ball crossover should happen.
100% agree with Bianca as #1
DQ V was probably the best DQ game in terms of story.
Has anyone already commented that Terry looks like Link without the long hat? I’m also kind of wondering if DQ8 is where they got the idea for Goku Black’s Super Saiyan Rose form.
Where's Torneko Taloon in this list? He not only is a chosen warrior of light in Dragon Quest IV, but he also is the star of his own set of Mystery Dungeon games, cameoed in countless Dragon Quest main titles and spin-offs. He's a family man who started his own mercantile legacy by beating up slimes to get iron armor, stealing a Goddess statue, starting his own business in a major city and sailing to far off lands with his wife and son to gain more riches once he helped defeat the great evil started by Psaro the Manslayer.
YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, THIS LIST IS MY LIFE
1:16 Setting the record straight, Nera and Bianca are descendants of the hero of Dragon Quest 4. The hero of Dragon Quest 6 has no descendants. If Nera really was the descendant of Dragon Quest 6, then her son would NOT be able to use the Zenithian armor and sword because the Dragon Quest 6 hero is fully human, not half Zenithian like the Dragon Quest 4 hero.
King Trode of course! His constant cursing of that "Despicable Dhoulmagus!" is always hilarious, and his awesome voice is like the entire Monty Python combined into a green small freak. Yangus ain't far behind either though.
This needs to be updated. Jade needs to be added.
I love Jade but Sylvando and Erik are the best characters from 11 imo
8th Hero and Jessica only getting 5th and 4th places. You disappoint me Watchmojo!
lol its true! i just beat DQ6 a few weeks ago and when i got terry he became an instant member of my party! Super OP n i wouldnt have it any other way
Erik from 11 is the GOAT
No Tsaro? Or the King from Dragon Quest heroes?
This list needs Dai, from the Dragon Quest: Dai No Boken/The Adventures of Dai and animated & manga. Seriously underated manga character.
