Everytime I hear your voice, Mage and that orchestral smasher makes me think of your 1st playthrough of Dragon Quest 8 all those years ago (great memories). Good to see you playing what you love. Thank you for being here.
sidenote BTW you can, create your own party members with stats customized to what you want ! Look up some of the jobs, it wont take away from the game if you did
I would expect nothing less than my favorite DQ youtuber to come through with this playthrough on day 1. Never played this one either. I’ll get it eventually (still quite a backlog). That intro reminds me of Ultima IV on my old Apple II which preceded the original DQ by a few years. Much more advanced than DQ 1 especially but it was on a computer as the first JRPGs were dumbed down versions of the RPGs I used to play like the Ultima and Wizardry games.
I am super excited for this playthrough Mage! I have watched every single one of your Dragon Quest series to date and now it is time for the next adventure!
This game is absolutely beautiful! I can't wait until I start playing my copy of the game! Also, the voice actress for the Hero's mum is Jessica Carroll who did indeed voice Amber from Dragon Quest XI. 😁
Oh yeah, my favorite Dragon Quest streamer though was hoping for live stream. Less than 5 hours to midnight for me. Good thing i have something else to do while waiting for my copy to unlock on Switch and Xbox. The personality test really sets this game apart from most other JRPGs. Feel free to ignore me begging you to simply name a merchant Rex, really any vocation works, in any of your playthroughs of this game and you don't need to use me even though i plan to name one party member Mage at some point since you are awesome.
Your playthroughs are much appreciated. Im playing 8 along with your videos now, I probably won't get around to playing 3 so I'm glad you got to it so soon. It looks amazing so far 😊
Thank you so much for the high quality content and hard work you put into making these games such a special experience. You deserve so much more recognition than you get! I'll be right alongside enjoying another winter and another Dragon Quest with you!
Okay, I'm far enough ahead now I can come back and watch your videos without fear of spoilage. So glad I get to see this! 🙂 I had forgotten there were multiple personality quest/paths at the beginning -- you ended up with an entirely different personality test scenario than I did, and that is so awesome for this game. (and hilarious that it called you out)
Yay!!! Mage playing dragon quest 3 will be my new obsession for a while!! Love that squares giving you mad respect lately. First the 16 headphones plus this. ❤❤❤
I hope you have a blast with this game :) the most fun I had was just imagining how the party I made would interact with events and the journey itself 😁
So far I’m loving this version. I got to play a few hours today. I grew up on the Nintendo version of these, so I know exactly what they changed. I find this game to be very beautiful. I always love they kept the random battles instead of having the monsters roaming the world like dragon quest XI. Something about random encounters just seems to keep this one old school lol The thief and Animal Wrangler are new classes. Everything else was in the original. I wanted to try them out, but I tend to balance the party as well, so I went the same as you lol
Wow this game looks a lot better than I expected. Looking forward to this play through, especially as you're getting close to wrapping up the FF7:Rebirth play through.
Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow it looks brilliant and looking forward to watching your play through alongside my own as usual. Nothing like a mage let's play with a rpg 👍🏻
It's finally here! Been waiting for my own physical copy of this game while playing the previous version on the Switch. Here to show Mage some support, my favourite English Dragon Quest streamer!
Never even really knew what DQ was before your channel, but I loved your DQ5 playthrough so much I bought it on my phone so obviously I'm here for this!
Hell yea! I'm waiting for it to unlock for me, which means I'll get to play a bit during my lunch break tonight. I actually bought the previous Switch edition because I hadn't heard any news about this one in a while and thought that was it. I love this series. It has been a part of my gaming life since the beginning.
I knew it! I said "I bet Mage will receive a copy, if he didn't already" And I was right! Square knows how to sell their games This one I think I will get for Christmas, but since I've played SNES DQIII I am not worried about spoilers and will be following you on your journey
Yessssss!!!! 🌟 So excited to catch up with this ep after I’ve put in a couple, a few, ok as many hours as I can with this masterpiece! And congrats on the early copy! So well deserved, Mage! There’s no one better to be sharing this journey with! 🌟
Omg that music sounds sooooo good. I have so many games I need to play but this may cut in line. Haopy you got an early copy, I've said this before on your channel but you're my fave DQ let's player and IMO the best. Something about the way your voice compliments the tone of the game. Happy you get recognized by Square!!!!!
While seeing the classic vocations is nice before next you should experiment with each vocation and see what feels right, however even if don't use the merchant it's a must make vocation for the distant future, merchant unique benefit is the enemy drop extra gold coins while thief as they level up have high chances of making enemy drop items an personalities is what stat it will favor as they level up so many fans of dq3 tend to create allies over the default selection
You missed a chest right next to where you get your party! Go back! go back! Lol. Im very excited for this LP i cant afford the game so i will enjoy it through you my friend.
Hell yeah Mage!! Let's Go!!! Im picking up my copy today and can't wait to olay along. If you see this in time, please tell me you went back upstairs at Patty's and talked to the person at the counter. Highly advise before you get too far😉
I gotta wait til tomorrow to start playing, so I'll catch this later, but omg I'm so excited to watch you play through this game! You're my favorite DQ streamer, I found your DQIX LP and enjoyed it so much! 🤓
FINALLY!!! been waiting for you playthrough of this to start! The game looks so beautiful. Those background and locations are seamless and look incredible! Cant wait to see how this plays out. I have sadly never played a Dragon Quest game, which I hate to admit. Im tempted to get this myself and play it. I'm settling in for a long series of videos for this one.
This is brilliant Mage! Agree about the Britishness of it! I think I may have to get this game now lol. Some of your comments do make me laugh, because I'm thinking the same things ❤
My favorite Mini Medal collector is probably tied between Princess Minnie in DQ8 or Professor Maxime Medaille in DQ11. I'm waiting for Christmas to get this game. I'm looking forward to revisiting one of my favorite DQ games in a newer style
Also Monster Mashers is not like the Blue mages in FF(better get rid of that mindset and learn to separate the two mate. DQ did the the job system first before FF period). They are only useful in recruiting monsters and you’ll learn breathe attacks or monster attacks by leveling up not like the Blue Mages in FF or like Kimahri from FFX.
You had me at Dragon Quest 🐉
Mage + Dragon Quest = A binge worthy experience!
I’m glad you think so 😅
Everytime I hear your voice, Mage and that orchestral smasher makes me think of your 1st playthrough of Dragon Quest 8 all those years ago (great memories). Good to see you playing what you love. Thank you for being here.

I knew it!!!! She has a great voice!
Finally here!!! Thanks Mage for playing it can’t wait for the journey to take place!
dragon Quest 3 was my intro to dragon Quest/warrior/monsters series !
SE been absolutely KILLING it lately with their HD-2D remasters (this, rs2, star ocean, etc)... 🤯
Agreed! Star Ocean 2 especially was fantastically done!
I wish they would port their Star Ocean 1 Switch version to PC. Us PC players only have 2, 4, and 6 of the Star Ocean series.
Oh yeah, my favorite Dragon Quest streamer though was hoping for live stream. Less than 5 hours to midnight for me. Good thing i have something else to do while waiting for my copy to unlock on Switch and Xbox. The personality test really sets this game apart from most other JRPGs.

It's finally here!! Love all the details in the scenery. There are even little rats running around in the castle dungeon!
Yeah there’s some really nice visual touches!
My favourite video game of all time. Dragon warrior iii still sits in my regular Nintendo just waiting for my next play through lol
one hour? the probably luckyest brit alive spoils us thanks Mage ❤
Your playthroughs are much appreciated. Im playing 8 along with your videos now, I probably won't get around to playing 3 so I'm glad you got to it so soon. It looks amazing so far 😊
Thanks so much buddy! Hope you’re enjoying 8!
Dragon Quest music and sounds always make me smile! Looking forward to getting my hands on this!
Thank you so much for the high quality content and hard work you put into making these games such a special experience. You deserve so much more recognition than you get!
I'll be right alongside enjoying another winter and another Dragon Quest with you!
Wow Rob, thank you so much! I’m just happy that I have any sort of following, and that it’s full of decent people such as yourself!
I love the 2DHD aesthetic... there's a couple of other games in the pipe that I'm following with this look and I really love it.
Okay, I'm far enough ahead now I can come back and watch your videos without fear of spoilage. So glad I get to see this! 🙂
I had forgotten there were multiple personality quest/paths at the beginning -- you ended up with an entirely different personality test scenario than I did, and that is so awesome for this game. (and hilarious that it called you out)
haha thanks Bronxx for watching this! Yeah i think it's so cool how random this opening is!
Super excited for this play through of yours! 😊
Arriving tomorrow. Love the OG, played the GBC version when I went through my big DQ obsession. Can't wait.
omg cant wait for xmas when i can play myself
42:40 I always ALWAYS appreciate when you through your Roshi voice out there 🤣

@@shadowofwar00 lmao
Let's GOOO!!!!! DQ Nation unite
18:15 damn you’re on point mage here voice does sound like Amber from DQXI.
Yay!!! Mage playing dragon quest 3 will be my new obsession for a while!! Love that squares giving you mad respect lately. First the 16 headphones plus this. ❤❤❤
Thanks Julia!!
I hope you have a blast with this game :) the most fun I had was just imagining how the party I made would interact with events and the journey itself 😁
I love seeing people go through the personality test at the beginning to see what they get.
I like the captain from dq9
So far I’m loving this version. I got to play a few hours today. I grew up on the Nintendo version of these, so I know exactly what they changed. I find this game to be very beautiful.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
Wow this game looks a lot better than I expected. Looking forward to this play through, especially as you're getting close to wrapping up the FF7:Rebirth play through.
So pleased Square sent you an early copy! Your enthusiasm for the game and knowledge of DQ is brilliant. I'm going to enjoy this playthrough - thanks!
Aw shucks! Yeah I feel insanely lucky to have been trusted with this!
Can't wait to pick this up tomorrow it looks brilliant and looking forward to watching your play through alongside my own as usual. Nothing like a mage let's play with a rpg 👍🏻
Aw cheers Jon!
Another dq game with mage . This is how the world should be
The thing upstairs lets you create you’re own party members
It's finally here! Been waiting for my own physical copy of this game while playing the previous version on the Switch. Here to show Mage some support, my favourite English Dragon Quest streamer!
You are too kind!!
Never even really knew what DQ was before your channel, but I loved your DQ5 playthrough so much I bought it on my phone so obviously I'm here for this!
Yeah time to enjoy another mage masher dragon quest LP I’m so Pumped!!!!
I’m so glad people seem to be as excited as I am!
Excited for this one, Mage! I am right with you on the overture!
Cheers Hannah!!
We are SO here for this😍
FINALLY!!!!
12:22 its actually DQXI is the first of the series chronologically if you remember the true ending after beating Act 3
I was trying to avoid spoiling that 🤣
@ nah it’s ok though most of the people watching this either haven’t played DQXI or they don’t remember the ending that well lol.
@@shawnsindulfoabellana3912 still...spoilers
@ vaguely a spoiler
A spoiler, no matter how big or small is still a spoiler.
Hell yea!
I'm waiting for it to unlock for me, which means I'll get to play a bit during my lunch break tonight.
I actually bought the previous Switch edition because I hadn't heard any news about this one in a while and thought that was it.
I love this series. It has been a part of my gaming life since the beginning.
Hope you enjoy it Daniel!
That opening music is so good 😇 every time i play DQ it always gets me pumped!
Same!!!! Love it!
I knew it! I said "I bet Mage will receive a copy, if he didn't already"
And I was right! Square knows how to sell their games
This one I think I will get for Christmas, but since I've played SNES DQIII I am not worried about spoilers and will be following you on your journey
Merry Christmas everyone! Thank you Mage. Enjoy this venture
Can’t wait to see you explore this game how YOU want! LETS GOOOOO
I have mostly engaged in dragon quest through your channel and man - what a series. Falling in love with it via your videos :)
This makes me happier than you can ever know!
@@magemasher22
Jessica Carroll is everyone's Mum (Mom/Mother/etc.) 😂
The true Luminary of Dragon Quest. 😎
Yay, more Mage! Never watched a DragonQuest playthrough, but I miss listening to Mage’s voice, so I’ll be joining the ride for this one.
That’s very kind of you 🙏🙏 hope you like it!
9:25 he made the correct choice (i am a cat owner by the way)
Dogs are ok to me but i've been around cats most of my life and currently have two kittens that are sisters, one orange and one black.
You're a hero again! I hope you enjoy the adventure!
I’m so exited for this playthrough I really hope it gets the dq 11 attention you deserve it!
I doubt anything will ever reach those heights again haha, but thanks so much!
Yessssss!!!! 🌟
So excited to catch up with this ep after I’ve put in a couple, a few, ok as many hours as I can with this masterpiece! And congrats on the early copy! So well deserved, Mage! There’s no one better to be sharing this journey with! 🌟
Aw thanks Sevika!
We hardcore DQ fans call it Vocations instead of Jobs cuz in DQ lore, we’ve been called to adventure by the Goddess of DQ named Rubiss.
Omg that music sounds sooooo good. I have so many games I need to play but this may cut in line. Haopy you got an early copy, I've said this before on your channel but you're my fave DQ let's player and IMO the best. Something about the way your voice compliments the tone of the game. Happy you get recognized by Square!!!!!
Awww thank you!!! That means so much to me!!
Very happy I found your channel. I’ll definitely be playing through the game along side.
Thank you so much!
While seeing the classic vocations is nice before next you should experiment with each vocation and see what feels right, however even if don't use the merchant it's a must make vocation for the distant future, merchant unique benefit is the enemy drop extra gold coins while thief as they level up have high chances of making enemy drop items an personalities is what stat it will favor as they level up so many fans of dq3 tend to create allies over the default selection
Won't be watching this playthrough until after I've gone through the game on my own first. Have a good time Mage!
ahhh nice! Lets make a nice cup of tea and cozy up with DQ3.
Wooo!!!
You missed a chest right next to where you get your party! Go back! go back! Lol. Im very excited for this LP i cant afford the game so i will enjoy it through you my friend.
Hell yeah Mage!! Let's Go!!!
Im picking up my copy today and can't wait to olay along. If you see this in time, please tell me you went back upstairs at Patty's and talked to the person at the counter. Highly advise before you get too far😉
You have the same birthday as my sister. Damn happy to watch you play this game.
Oh that’s a cool coincidence 😅
think Cap'n Max Medallin from DQ9 was my favourite, first and favourite dragon quest too
I gotta wait til tomorrow to start playing, so I'll catch this later, but omg I'm so excited to watch you play through this game! You're my favorite DQ streamer, I found your DQIX LP and enjoyed it so much! 🤓
Aw thank you so much!! I hope I can make a fun series for you all!
YAYYYY FINALLY ITS HERE! Imma watch religiously 🥹
Great first episode mage as always. Also, patty's party planning place was indeed in dq9. Great memory for once! 😂
Not much into RPG games myself, but this one got me hooked :D would be awesome to see facecam while playing
Just played a bit myself! loving this game already!
Ya love to hear it!
"Dragon quest is wholesome" *Puff puff existing* 👀👀👀
👀👀👀
This looks like a great game to add to my ever growing wish list 😄 will be enjoying your videos for it 💜 hope all is going well mage
Thanks Kristik, i'm doing as ok as I can be!
Lets go , very excited for this game looks amazing.
Great start Mr Mage, I'm looking forward to more!
Thank you so much!
The mothers voice like a mix between amber and Gemma from dragon quest 11
FINALLY!!! been waiting for you playthrough of this to start! The game looks so beautiful. Those background and locations are seamless and look incredible!
Cant wait to see how this plays out. I have sadly never played a Dragon Quest game, which I hate to admit. Im tempted to get this myself and play it.
I'm settling in for a long series of videos for this one.
Highly recommend the series, and this one is a good one to start with!
@magemasher22 thanks Mage. Think I'll give this one a go and play along with you and later try the others.
I've been looking forward to this for so long!
It’s here!!! ❤
Ooooh very excited to watch this! I'm not very familiar with Dragon Quest so looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about.
Aw thanks for checking this out Rose!
Yeeeees, Mage's Roshi voice!!
Been excited to see you play this
That's gotta be the same VA for Mum, right? I had the same thought, she sounds just like Amber!
So happy to catch a DQ LP not years laters haha
This is brilliant Mage! Agree about the Britishness of it! I think I may have to get this game now lol. Some of your comments do make me laugh, because I'm thinking the same things ❤
Aw cheers Liara haha, I hope you enjoy it!
Ooh, your final test is different to what I had. I had to push a boulder for an old man. Game thought I was Chris Redfield 😂
Haha!!
My favorite Mini Medal collector is probably tied between Princess Minnie in DQ8 or Professor Maxime Medaille in DQ11. I'm waiting for Christmas to get this game. I'm looking forward to revisiting one of my favorite DQ games in a newer style
Good choices!
Yay!! DQ! Looks great, superb music as usual!
I hope you can keep up with my voracious appetite of you playing this game Mage. Lol
Lovely game, having a BLAST playing this rn.
Heck yeah!
Edinburgh castle is amazing isn’t it. I love Scotland
it's incredible yeah!
I have to wait 11 more hours, not fair!!
It will be worth it!!
Ahhhhhhh at long last!!!!
Yeeeesssss mage!!!!!
I'm so behind. But can't wait to watch this whole series. I hope my wife gets this game for my b day on Switch.
I have everything crossed for ya!
@magemasher22
Thanks man I'll let you know next week !
Also Monster Mashers is not like the Blue mages in FF(better get rid of that mindset and learn to separate the two mate. DQ did the the job system first before FF period).
