DQ 1,2,and 3 have a collection cartridge and so far playing it when i have time, likewise thanks for the help whem i dont know what to do.. currently nearing the end but due to curse artifact cant enter the castle
Nice to hear that people are generating more interest in the series.
Thank Smash Bros for that. It's how Fire Emblem got popular.
@@Swordmaster7th Smash is the ultimate marketing tool, and yes I just made a pun.
And this is why neku needed to be in smash lol
@@jojonta2119 I would love to have Neku in the game but sense DQ is the bigger series/game it obviously took priority.
Me too
So basically
----------------------------------------------------------
Dragon Quest 1,2,3, and 4 for mobile
5 and 6 for DS or moblie
7 for 3DS
8 for 3DS or PC
9 for DS
10 (if your willing to pay monthly for all the content) for Switch, Wii U, PS4 and PC (I assume you can probably just skip this game otherwise)
and finally 11 for Switch
Nice TL;DR. I can use this as reference while marathoning the series.
... I'm just going to get 11 then watch some video explaining the references to other titles.
@Scott Whatever Well, you can play most of the classics on mobile. That's a good start in my opinion, unless you do not own a smartphone
I dont have that much money tho
Scott Whatever there’s plenty of emulators for most if not all the games online some of which even allow you to play the games off the websites them selves or just download the ROM and emulate it directly off your computer so while I hate to sound like that kind of guy that says pirate it, it is an option at least and she’ll still be able to buy 11 legitimately since it’s been on steam since 2017
I got a dragon quest builders 2 ad while watching this
lol, sometimes UA-cam knows what it's doing
MonsterMan25 same
Nintendo is going hard advertising DQ builders 2 making sure it sells
same.
nope, ads are not determined by the video u're watching, but it selects u regarding of all videos u watch
Same
I'm just so happy to find a small community of Dragon Quest lovers, it makes me so sad that the wider western audience hasn't discovered these great games.
Cassius S well since xi it’s been gaining traction from
People like myself. I’ve actually “played” dragon warrior back in the day as a rental, but I was a kid and didn’t get it. The gbc games seem pretty good, I’ve got them on my snes classic.
Cassius S thanks to smash ultimate they will bruh
@@WaltherPPK007 I really hope so!
My uncle gave me dragon quest 8 when I was like 10 or so and I've loved DQ since, but I've never found one as good );
Im still waiting for DQMJ 3 on Europe :(
Dragon Quest III for GBC is fucking amazing.
Well, it’s the game that basically created the jrpg genre.
Every game that came after it were inspired by Dragon Quest III, even Final Fantasy.
@@emanuelepolloni4002 Pretty sure it was the first DQ game that created the genre. No clue why you're saying that 3 was the one that did. Final Fantasy came out well before DQ3 did.
That being said, I've actually never played the GBC version of the game & very much want to try it. I have played thru the NES and SNES versions many many times.
@@skins4thewin Because it codified every idea and element that all jrpg followed since, even the final fantasy series.
@@emanuelepolloni4002 Again, that was the first game, and then the 2nd introduced most of the mechanics games follow today. the 3rd only expanded upon 2 a bit. 2 was actually a much bigger jump from the previous game than 3 was.
@@skins4thewin True, 2 introduced some elements, but they weren't very well implemented and the game was very broken to the point that one of the 3 playable characters is absolutely useless. 3 improved those elements and added a lot more stuff, like multiple playable classes and a more complex plot.
I played 5 and 9 on my nightshifts working on an island resort. Best gaming memories ever. Truly wonderful games .
God that sounds so amazing. I'm jealous.
Island resort?! What was that experience like?!
You forgot to mention 5's monster collecting.
Dragon quest 5 is a monster collector?
@@sparklesparkle3370 in 5 some enemies have a small chance after battle to join you as companions... unfortunately they pulled the nonsense they pulled in robopon 2 and gave the monsters level caps meaning their usefulness varies wildly (not all of them have level caps though and cap at the standard 99 while others cap as low as 8 which is incredibly odd to say the least)
He’s mentioned it in another video
He forgot to mention a lot of things
I started with IX and to this day I consider it the best game ever made. The replay value is high for me and it features a great story with characters that I’ll always remember. Then there’s the post game which adds so much more
It's fascinating to me just how much content they managed to cram onto a DS cartridge, and how much detail they got into the story when the protagonist and party are all silent and emotionless. Truly an incredible game, I hope to god we get a switch remake. Imagine Stornway castle with the detail of Heliodor Castle.
@@HarryScutt like pokemon was for the gameboy. mind blowing
Judt got it. I'm really excited to try it out. Loved 8
Facts
Man, DQ9 was my obsession for a long time. I picked it up on release, and I remember waiting impatiently each week for new costumes to drop and spending countless hours exploring grottos.
omg yes! I was OBSESSED with DQ9 for such a long time I love that game so much
Same this game NEEEEEEDS a remake 😢
Started with VIII... Did not regret that choice at all. Great video dude!
Thanks!
my first as well on ps2 back in the day, great game
AndyF1130 Nice!
8 is like the best DQ game and even today i stick to that Opinion. DQ XI was so close to beating 8 but Square enix shitty practices happened.
Grate grammar
I'm new to Dragon Quest. I decided to get into the series after The Hero's reveal for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
The past few weeks I've been marathoning the games in numerical order. I'm currently up to VI and totally loving it. I'm playing the mobile versions of the games which generally seem to be the best versions from what I've seen, plus they're cheap and convenient to aquire and play.
I'm glad I decided to play in numerical since so far they're getting better and better (well VI doesn't seem to be quite as good as IV and V but it's still great).
I'm looking forward to playing through the rest of the series and maybe trying a few of the spin-offs.
Glad your journey is going well.
Watch out for series fatigue
7-11 are a blast, especially 9 and 11. And if you have a bud u can co op 9 locally.
@@BowmansWorld Ive played through 9 twice but couldnt finish i think 3 it was. At one point you get control of this mermaid character and hes way weaker than all the enemies around him and i couldnt figure out where to go.
I plan to do this for at least the first three as I wait for 11S. Just grabbed 1, wish me luck!
Actually i heard that the team behind Dragon Quest 9 could possibly be in talks to create a remake of DQ9 for the switch. There are no definite plans right now but the fact that their talking about it gives me hope another great dragon quest game will come to the switch
"Great"
@@jamiehoward6505 Yes, great.
No its not great. The story is tedious much like the middle section of DQ11 but for the whole game.
Remake the best story and world DQV with the monster hunting and with DQ11 balanced and status affecting bosses gameplay...masterpiece
As long as they keep the franchise turn based, I think they can and should remake them all for more people to play it, but, yeah, never change to brain damaged action rpg like final midtasy
I’m personally playing:
1. Dragon Quest (Nintendo Switch)
2. Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of a Legendary Line (Nintendo Switch)
3. Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation (Nintendo Switch)
4. Dragon Quest: Chapters of the Chosen (Nintendo DS)
5. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (Nintendo DS)
6. Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Reverie (Nintendo DS)
7. Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (Nintendo 3DS)
8. Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King (Sony PlayStation 2)
9. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (Nintendo DS)
10. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (Sony PlayStation 4)
DUDE you gotta play dq8 on 3ds and dq11 on switch playstation always gets the crap while nintendo gets to have added content, in 3ds version of dq8 you get 2 extra party members and more endgame stuff, in the switch version of 11 you have much more content and the story feels more connected with the side stories of your party members, also you can choose between orchestral and synthentic music
what's the best?
Where does Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime fit into all this?
It’s a spin-off with some lore similarities to DQVIII.
Rocket is the DQ hero with the most personality
This was insanely helpful to watch thank you! I've always wanted to get into the series but never knew where to start (besides 1 obviously lol)
Thank God someone made a video like this. Entering the series is definitely complicated.
Just doing my job
@@sackchief Update: finished the first two games on SNES. Thank you for the recommendation.
switch1e Glad to hear it
"Why was Hero chosen for Smash, none of them even have names"
Horii: ホズマッド
Yes a guide how to start a good franchise
if it was that good then how come it has struggle in the west ? i am just fucking with you lad, but is not cool too see DQ struggle this much and other crappy generic moe shit rpgs get more recognition.
I love videos like this that break down definitive ways to play games in a series. Makes it a lot easier for someone to get into them without either spending a lot or feeling like they are missing out something important in those games.
Glad you like it!
Thank you so much! No regrets playing 1 and 2 on mobile so far, falling in love with the franchise!
I also bought 3 and 4, and have 11 preordered for switch. Super excited!
I’ve been waiting so long for someone to make this video
Man, as a lifelong DQ fan it brings me so much joy to see people generating and sharing so much interest in the series now, and so many younger people coming into the fold. The excellence of XI, Builders 2 and Hero in Smash is an awesome triple-whammy to finally give the series the relevance in USA it's always deserved. ... Now give us a modernized IX, a good translation of X and and a new Dragon Quest Monsters already, SE :P
I hate being a DQ fan when I hear that there's more content in some versions than the others and hearing that I can't never play some of them cause I don't have some platforms or like DQ IX there's no way to get dlc cotent or DQ X that they never bothered to bring a version to us and I'm not even counting the spin-offs with tons of content and infinity torneko's side stories to me DQ series seems very neglected at least in this side of the planet. Honestly I hate being a DQ fan but I can't help it
@@samuelsouza7670 actually there are 2 ways you can get the DLC content into IX, first way is to link up with a copy that has it and join their world then leave it and it gives it to you and the other way is to use a code from an Action Replay
Thanks a lot for the tips, it’ll help me play all the series a lot!!
Thanks for this video. It answered everything I wanted to know.
telling people to start with 1 is a great way to make sure they never play the rest of the series again lol, its like recommending ff1 to a newcomer.
Why
@SirHumphries because those people most like haven't played that many jrpgs so they wouldn't be prepared for an old harder game. Those are games you should play after playing a few games in the series.
You should take fan translations into account. Dragon Quest 3 for the Super Famicom has one, and it should be listed as the definitive version imo.
Having played both the FanTrans and the GBC versions a ways, I'll vouch that I feel the fan translated Super Famicom is the better version.
This is good to hear, as someone who doesn't play mobile games ever but is about to delve into 1-3. Fan translations on my big TV only, please!
Yeah, I noticed fan translations, and using an emulator to get around IX's lack of DS server function was not mentioned. Probably some bureaucratic legal reason or another. Having said that, our of the Erdrick Trilogy, III on the SNES, the fan translation, was the best. I also played the fan translations of V and VI on the SNES, but found the DS versions were much better.
...Did you find one I could not?
Last time I tried a fan translation, no was yes and yes was no.
They...they mixed them up.
I daren't even imagine what else went wrong.
If any new version incorporates the GBC version's content and animations and the mobile/Switch version's dialogue and soundtrack, it would be definitive beyond question.
Thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to get into the Dragon Quest, but didn’t know where to start.
Glad you like it
Hey Sack, love your channel. I find myself going back to rewatch your videos multiple times over while I do other stuff since they're so interesting and good Dragon Quest content is so scarce on UA-cam. If it interests you, I think a timeline, theory video made by you would be very fun to watch. Keep up the good work bro
How ironic I was just talking about DQ thanks to you and my friend in the community tab and this perfectly came there
Playing in order is the best way... to get people to lose interest in the series. A newbie should play 11 and 8 first, being the more "modern" and graphically pleasing to the eye games of the series. If a person doesn't like those, they can just leave the series as it is not for them: instead, a person could not tolerate the years the other games have on their backs if they're not into retro gaming. By becoming fans of the series FIRST, through 8 and 11, they can go back and maybe enjoy the older ones and close an eye on the fact they are old. While a person that plays 1 first and finds it terrible because it's really outdated and clunky, will probably lose the chance to play 8 and 11 and maybe they could have loved them instead. I'd never advise someone new to the series to play them in order. It's like telling someone to start playing pokemon from Pokémon Red. No. The fact they're the "origins" and we, as fans of the series, have affection towards them doesn't change the fact that, in 2019, for a person that is NOT already a fan of the series but COULD be, they aren't the best way to experience the series.
I like the way you want to give visibility to the series but you make the mistake of thinking that what you think is best for you as a veteran and long time fan of the series (like me) is also what a person who is new to the series would enjoy
Appreciate the input. It’s just my opinion that becoming a veteran of the series makes XI more enjoyable.
sackchief
In the end, I think your offer is sound since you mentioned that they'd enjoy it more if they understood the references BUT it's not necessary to understand them to enjoy 11's stand-alone story. That leaves up to them to decide to play the first three DQ games or just jump straight into 11. I like this approach.
eh I started the series a few months ago and I definitely think that people should start with the first one, the way I did. I then played the GBC version of 2... and now I'm playing 8? Perhaps I should've played 3 first.
GBC or Super Famicom version of 2 is definitely the way to go imo, the NES version is ridiculously difficult, and unbalanced towards the end. Most people say it's the worst game in the series but I quite enjoyed the GBC version.
"Look at me I'm a true fan I started from the worst game"
I honestly don't care that some dude somewhere decided for some reason that starting from older games was a good idea, if I want the series to be known I can't bore the shit out of newbies saying them "yeeeeah 8 and 11 are great but first you should play those 7 prehistoric games buddy". They ARE good games, I love them, but the games most people are going to like first are 8 and 11, not everyone likes retrogaming. By starting with 8 and 11 and eventually falling in love with them, to go back to older DQs is probably a natural step if someone wants more of that, while not liking 8 and 11 means you're not gonna like any other DQ anyway. While as I said, someone could find 1 and 2 terrible, clunky, grindy and outdated while that same person could love 8 and 11, but they'd drop the series thinking "I didn't like the first two games, maybe it isn't my cup of tea". No, it's just that not everyone in 2019 can appreciate games from 1986/87 with 30+years on their backs. Gaming has changed and evolved, retrogaming is not for everyone, DQ 8 and 11 are
This was really helpful! Thanks a lot!!!
This video is soooooo gooood man!!! Keep up the good work
I got interested in Dragon Quest after playing DQ 11 and I can't wait for the Definitive Edition. Playing through DQ 8 right now while waiting.
This series has been really fun for me and when I saw your video on the significance of Dragon Quest in Japan, it made appreciate the series even more. So, thank you!
Glad I could help
seeing how 11 references the Trilogy so much, kinda makes me wish that THIS is Dragon Quest 10 instead of the mmo Japan got.
I don't really understand why they didn't make it a spin off given how it's an mmo
@@dragonfly866 following final fantasy, plus putting it as a mainline title people are gonna buy it up.
Dragonfly' well Final Fantasy 11 and 14 are a mmo but are still main series entrys and not spin-offs
@@taxjax Heck I'd say that DQ10 fits the main series more than FF11 and 14 did to the Final Fantasy series.
Thanks for this video! I've really been wanting to get into the Dragon Quest series, so this helps a ton, thank you!!
Glad you like the video!
Hey, just found your channel and this was an excellent video!
I've hand trepid curiosity about the DQ series for years and I'm probably gonna start playing the games soon! Thanks for this!
I got the ps2 version of dq8 and honestly im loving it, its old school but beautiful and the music is amazing. I really like the world and towns.
I soooo want a DQ9 remake!! I started the series with this game and would love to see a remaster/remake of this game on the switch
Would be great.
For now, playing it on MelonDS is the closest we get to a remaster :P
Thanks man, this video help me a lot, I just got Dragon Quest for the switch and I didn't understand some of the lore. I need to play the older games.
I was looking into DQ. Remember seeing in a gameinformer magazine back in middle School and was very interested but lacked funds. Excellent video and your intro couldn't been any better. Simple and aesthetically pleasing and a very good gaming reference. Very straight forward information and genuine tone of voice( nothing extra or elaborated ). You definently earned a sub and look forward to more videos.
Thank you, I appreciate it.
Thanks, that was very helpful!! I'm not sure how keen I am on playing the entire series 1-11, so it's a good thing that I already played 2-4 long ago. (I've absorbed so much about DQ1 over the years that I doubt I need to play it.)
Anyway, this will definitely help me get back into Dragon Quest, especially knowing what I'm working towards (the definitive DQ11 on Switch, of course!)
Glad it was helpful!
This is the quality content I signed up for. Thank you friend
Glad you like it. 👍👍
Yesss!! This guy knows his stuff, appreciate the insight man, I’ve been thinking of bringing the dragon quest series over to my channel but didn’t know where to start and this Video has helped out a lot! Keep doing what you’re doing Chief 💯💫
This video is perfect. Definitely going to start playing them in order.
I tried to play XI recently as I heard it was a great starting point for newcomers. I wasn’t able to get into it though, dropped it to play the first game on switch and I’m loving it so far. I think I’ll revisit XI and appreciate it more after playing some of the older titles
That's what happened with me and ff7. I didn't quite enjoy it on my first play through so I jumped back to the first game and after finishing the older games I appreciated ff7 more.
I’ve recently got into the series with 11 and enjoyed it enough to buy it again on switch. Great starting game imo. I’m also almost done with builders 2 and have dq 8 coming in the mail. Great series that I’ve ignored for too long.
It's difficult to keep up with so many games at the same time, but this encouraged me to take in DQ, thank you!
Thank you for making this! I've always wanted to give the franchise a chance, but never knew where I should start... Great video!
Glad you like it!
My first dragon quest was Dragon Quest Monsters Joker on the ds. It was awesome, I later discovered the other games and been a fan ever since.
0:24 "in my opinion playing the games in numerical order is the best way"
Me an intellectual: plays 8, 9, 7, 6, 5, 11
For me it was 1, 4, 7, 2, 3, 6, 5, 8, 9, 11.
for me it was/will be 6, 9, monster joker 2, monster joker 1, 4, rocket slime, 5, 1, 2, 3, 11 (currently finishing rocket slime)
9,4,5,6,3,7,11 with the 2 monster joker's games in there too.
For me it was 5... yeah I’ve only played so DQ5 far (still need to finish it)
For me, it was none of them
Thanks man! I intent to play it for the first time! I love this types of games! Just finished all FF saga
Im glad youre giving credit to the best versions. I previously mentioned in your top ten that it would be more accurate if you gauged them based off those.
I have no idea how UA-cam algorithm put this video in my recommendations, I never watched anything dragon quest related, but that's exactly what i needed
This is the first I'm hearing of a Dragon Quest movie...now I'm hyped.
Very useful video, I'm surprised I haven't seen someone do this earlier.
Dude, thanks for this breakdown I am relieved to get most of them on my 3DS.
No one is going to play 1-3 before hopping on 11, who are you kidding
I did, currently on dq3 after beating dq1 and 2
I played dq1 then dq11 because it looked too good 😂 I tried to play them in order though
At least now that we know there are hd 2d remakes on the way people like myself will wait a year
You should talk about the extremely underated Dragon Quest Dainoboken, (DQ: The Adventure of the Hero Dai), manga & anime. Though mostly the manga.
While it started out as homage to the games it ended becoming its own unique series. Of which would later influence the games as well. Most notably DQ8, 9 & a bit of 11.
Heck some even had several cameo characters. Also most recently Dai was made a playable character in Jump Force as part of the ingame roster.
Recently bought 3ds just to play dq8 since i start the dq series with XI and i want to play all the older stuff, thanks for the vid, subbed
Thanks this video really helped me understand the universe better.
Thank you for this video, ever since seeing Hero in Smash I've been finding myself more interested in trying out the series. I have been thinking of trying out Dragon Quest XI S, but it's good to hear that I should play through the Erdrick Trilogy first.
You can play with ever suits you best
You don't need to start from Dragon Quest 1. If you're want to dive in Dragon Quest series, you can starts straight from Dragon Quest 4 on DS (or if you really want to start from DQ 1 and then next in chronological way)
Did you hear about the possible DQ 9 remake square is discussing? I really hope they go through with it.
It would be really cool to experience the multiplayer options in that game seeing as I never got to because I’m only recently getting into DQ
Yeah I mentioned it in the community tab. It would be fantastic if they updated the graphics to look more like DQXI and added new features.
I think it would be great if they tied it in to the downfall of Yggdrasil in DQXI
videoluver7 If you have a hacked 3DS there’s a program that lets you back up DS save files called Checkpoint. That way you can save his game and reupload it to another cartridge.
great video, thanks for making this
Thank you for this. I'm new to the Dragon Quest series and only played the DQ11 demo. This video was a perfect guide on where to start.
Glad it helped. 👍
Been a long time fan of this series! 3 and 5 are my favorites
Good choices
Only played 9 back in... well... 2009!
Looking forward to immersing myself in the series again.
Great video! Just what I needed after finishing XI.
Glad you like it. 👍
Well done. I played DW 1-3 on NES on release and loved those games. Nice to see there's more I missed.
It is EXTREMELY good news to see that a video like this has 67,000 views on it. And here I was worried that XI was the last Dragon Quest we'd ever see in North America. You kids with new, sparking interests are keeping this series alive in the West.
Literally got a Dragon Quest ad before this video.
this was the perfect video I needed. Played all of the Final Fantasy games and have wanted to get into DQ, but just never did and was a bit intimidated on where to start. 1-3 on mobile, yes please!
THANK YOU! I WAS JUST WONDERING THIS
You’re welcome
Just so everyone knows, if you would like to wait a little bit just to make sure. There's already been listings of the definitive edition of 11 for the PS4 found, so it'll prolly be released as a expansion DLC on other platforms a couple months or a year or two down the line. Similar to what Square did with World of Final Fantasy Maxima. Just in case you don't want a switch and don't mind waiting around a bit to make sure if it's true or not
It's worth noting that the SNES version of DQ3 and the PS2 version of DQ5 have very good fan translations.
They do.
Glad I found your channel! This video was very informative and fun to watch! I can tell your really know your way around Dragon Quest haha
Glad you enjoyed it.
This is the first video of yours I watch, and I loved it!
Keep it up!
Thank you!
Have never played Dragon quest games before, but recently picked up DQ11, and it turned out to be a quite good JRPG. A they say, DQ11 is the prequel to the Erdrick trilogy, so now going to give first three games a try.
This series always seemed interesting to me because of the art style. I remember seeing the ads for DQ8 back in the day for PS2
When I finally get a Switch I’d like to pick up DQ11...but JRPGs like this can be so long and I unfortunately don’t have a ton of time to play. Maybe I’ll pick up builders for Switch & Rocket Slime for my DS
Builders is really, really fun. I actually like Builders 1 more than Builders 2 but both games are pretty fun
Thanks for the info!! Can't wait for XI on the Switch!....Now make a vid recommending the playing order for the Tales series haha
Very informative! Thank you!
Thanks to this video, I'm going to buy the first three Dragon Quest games on my phone and play them before Dragon Quest XI comes out on Switch!
Good plan
DQ builders 2
Everyone likes Minecraft.
I have no interest in Minecraft. Why are there people speculating what everyone likes and hates? The whole world cannot be into liking the same thing nor hating the same thing. Just because something has a very high popularity does not mean that everyone likes it.
@@bennel3588 good for you bub
Feels a bit different than minecraft though. Not saying that it’s bad, but that it’s good in other ways than how minecraft is good, but still pretty similar overall.
Caleb Hopkins you’re right, but people like to say that when a lot of people like the game
I hate minecraft it's very boring but I do love (addicted) to dragon quest builder 2
Thanks! I've been looking to play the DQ series on and off for the last year but never looked up the order or versions to play, just picked up DQ9, didn't like it and put it away. I'll play the first 3 on mobile now thanks to your video :D
Hope you like them
Thanks for all the hard work and info on this! Played the first, missed out on many others, and wanted to get back into it with #2. Looks like it's gonna be mobile or Switch!
Started with 8 on 3DS. Likely going straight into 11. I don’t like standard RPGs byut was convinced to give DQ a try since there aren’t random encounters and I fell in love.
youre lucky you got the 3ds version because theres no random encounters, but 1 2 3 4 5 6 and sometimes 7 has random encounters
This is perfect timing !
I try my best.
@@sackchief I already finished Dragon quest 1 2 3 now I'm ready for 11 and I love LOVE THE LORE THE WORLD BUILDING IT MAKES THE STORY RICH AND BEAUTIFUL I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE ORIGINAL 3 and now I'm playing DQ4 I hope I can get to buy the 2 3DS main series' and builders for expanding the main story of DQ 1 and 2
new to this series. Thanks for this informative video.
Great vid.. just about finished DQ11, I'm on the post credit game. Unfortunately didn't see your video until today otherwise I probably would have started parts 1-3 first. Anyway good explanation of all the games.
Awesome Vid dude. Personally i feel VIII on the 3ds would be the best in regards to beginners or V on the DS .
Yeah for people that don't love old school games I'd say 8 is the way to go. Plus that game is incredible and would get you hooked on the series if you like it. The original trilogy is still good especially 3 but might turn people off that don't like classic games.
@@quinnleavitt4105 for me I never played the original 3 as it is to expensive to get and I'm not a mobile gamer.
@@shyguy2046 I don't normally game on mobile but the touch controls weren't that bad to me
I actually am starting from V and VIII
@@quinnleavitt4105 blasphemy (lol jk) ... At least it's there to spread the word of the wonderful Dragon Quest franchise
1-3 coming to Switch, seemingly being the mobile ports, is also convenient for people who don't play mobile games that much. Like me. I just wish those three were a bundle instead of three separate releases.
Congrats on the 3000 subscribers! This guide was useful to me. I´ve only beaten DQ 1 (iOS), and DQ 9. I have DQ 5 in iOS, and I'm thinking about beating it.
Thank you!
Love the Earthbound series, wanted to check out Dragon Quest series! Thanks for the help!
My favorites are DQV and DQXI. DQV is amazing I played it on almost every platform that was released because I loved it so much, and I can't wait for DQXIS!!
All i simply gotta say is thank you for this
*im probably going to be one of those people who get 11s when it comes out*
Hope you like it
Thanks for the video! I've always had an interest in trying out the dragon quest series after Hero got into smash bros, and this video helped me finalise my decision along with where to start.
Thank you!
Glad to help

DQ 9 was my first, and i was around for the online content. sadly, i didn't get that far into the MASSIVE postgame... (heck i didn't even beat baramos lvl 1)
I was shocked when you said thanks for 3000subs like dang all the time i have spent watching your videos i never realized to take a look at your sub count i always thought you have like half million subs:O You really would deserve more mate!
