Dragon Quest
I couldn't find a community for Dragon Quest fans in any instances, so I made us one. Rules: 1. No unmarked spoilers 2. No piracy links. Mods/patches are fine (rom hacks but NOT roms) 3. No NSFW posts. 4. Be respectful, and don't get upset at people looking for help - don't send them off to google etc. for help elsewhere. 5. If you are posting a fanwork (art, fiction, game, music cover) be sure to credit the creator. This can be a name, user or link to the credited source. 6. Don't join the Dragon Lord to rule half the world. He'll just backstab you anyway and its very uncool, hero.
...nearly every dragon quest title on steam is currently on sale. :)

You can also share like your top 10 in order if you want. As long as you tell me your top DQ game :)
I has a sadness
Basically, as the title says. I've got the itch to play another dragon quest game and would like to know how well regarded the ones are I didn't play yet compared to the ones I've played. Although I'll probably play IV in preparation for the upcoming DQM game, as I love those, maybe I've got time for two. Anyways, here's my list: 1. DQ V (DS version) * It's got the overall best story thus far and includes monster taming, which I really liked. Overall just one of my favorite games. 2. DQ VII (PS) * I'm oddly fond of VII. I'll acknowledge that it probably is not better than some of the following ones on paper, but it just clicked with me. I really like the beginning part of RPGs and VII got several of those with how disconnected it is at times. 3. DQ XI (Switch) * I loved every second of XI and would probably rank it higher if the post-game wouldn't do what it does. While I really liked them later on, the Hero and both twins started off quite bland. 4. DQ VIII (3DS) * The game itself is still really good, but it never grasped me with its story as the ones above did at times. 5. DQ IX (DS) * IX never clicked with me at all. Having only silent no-names in you party already started off bad, but the overall story wasn't my cup of tea either. I generally like class systems, but this one didn't do it for me either.
edit: I didn't have my hopes up when I 1st posted this, but I've now read they actually announced localization for China and Taiwan already. It might actually happen this time.
I was just asking because I seem to be running out of wood more and more often, but it doesn't look like the trees are growing back.
I just want to give a shout out to Sham Hatwich for being one of the most adorable things I've ever seen
Once in a while I fire up my NES cart of Dragon Warrior 4 just to replay chapter 3. Chapter 2 is pretty good as well, but 3 keeps me coming back.

...pardon, doesn't seem to embed as expected so you'll have to actually follow the link to listen. I was playing Shadows of Erdrick recently (old fan game) and my nostalgia started playing the song in my brain.

There's a couple games I've still got on my list, but hunting all of these down was a fun time. They've been amazing for practicing my Japanese. Do you recommend I play them in order, or just however they come?

> The game is available to preorder now physically from the Square Enix Store: Physical copy confirmed, at least on preorders. Hopefully not limited to just preorders but we'll see.
