>>28933007Just want to echo your thoughts with mine.
>1-3 are retro classic and for some people too outdated for their taste.3 is still very good and was a milestone in the Dragon Quest series and JRPGs as a whole. There are a couple of bugs with the Super Famicom English patch, but that version is a good one to play. 1 only has a single player controlled character, but it's otherwise fairly short and of historical significance. 2 has some notable balance issues, especially when the game opens up and there are several regions with high level monsters that scare you away from them. Of the original trilogy, 3 is by far the best and is a great entry point into the series.
>dragon quest 4 for the ds is really good game to start on. expectation wiseThe mobile port is also acceptable, since it's the same game as the DS version but with the ability to chat with party members, which is pretty important considering there are 8 in the game.
>5/6 very good titles. also go check ds versions.5 is a fantastic game centered around one character's life and the family around him. 6 goes back to 3's roots and reintroduced job selection for each of the party members in the game.
>7/8 are top dogs and should not be started or else other versions might seem shallow.I see plenty of people recommend 8 to beginners, but I have yet to play it myself. The remake of 7 is excellent.
>9 with the wifi gone it's core gameplay feature is unplayable but still fun main story to explore with wide customisation options.9 has the most extensive post game by far of the game's released outside of Japan, even with the dropped Wi-Fi support.
