How come /v/ doesn't like Dragon Quest?
>>733564021>boring>jarpig sludgethat about sums it up.
>>733564021recently replayed first 3 games' snes releases and now doing the hd remakes on draconic it's challenging, been liking it
>>733564021Modern globohomo japan shit sucks
I've always felt Dragon Quest's inability to attain western success on par with its reputation in Japan boils down to one simple factorThe series was literally conceived to be a simplified, beginner friendly replication of RPGs Yuji Horii enjoyed playingIt's novel to the Japanese sure but does something like that mean anything to a country that's long already since played tabletop?
>>733564267>DQ>globohomo4chan buzzwords has turned your brain into a liquid
>>733564021WHERE ARE WE?AND WHY IS IT FULL OF MONSTERS?!This is SO EXCITING
>>733564269I dunno they're different enough I think, and it's not like people in the west are playing shit like wizardry anymore anyway. DQ and tabletop are very different things mechanically, and tabletop RPGs in videogame form are big right now anyway with BG3's and to a lesser extend Owlcat's output.
>>733564021I like it, but is a serie with highs (III, V, VIII) and lows (II, VI, VII) and they stopped making games after 11
I liked 8. I tired 9 but couldn't get into it. I played some of the older games but didn't like that I couldn't see my character in combat.
>>733564021Dragon Quest is just too bland to have a strong opinion one way or the other about. They're all the same game and all equally as bland as each other, though V is the best one. I think it's a typically Japanese thing to have strong opinions about Dragon Quest.
>>733564330>4chan buzzwords has turned your brain into a liquid*cracks knuckles*Do you want to see a couple of mudlims run over by a tokyo taxi or perchance....hmm a ojiisan crying about downtown being full of foreigners and trash. Ask and i shall deliver fucking nigger.
have you seen the gameplay?
>>733564021>same soundtrack every game>same enemies every game >that atrocious localization that people defend for some reasonI played like 3 (V, IX, XI) at this point and I can say I don't wanna play others anymore
>>733564021i beat the first one and liked it but i never got around to any of the other games
Currently playing dragon quest vii r and not enjoying it. Can't wait to 100% it then throw it in the trash forever. I just found out like 10 items are exclusive to the shitty card game in it so I'll have to waste hours of my life playing it to collect every item. Shit sucks.
>>733565304why are you 100%ing a game you don't like
>>733565339>anon asks autist on a autistic website why is he autistic I dunno anon
>>733564021I like OG trilogy a lot. How'd you guys start with the second trilogy?
>>733564021i like the female character designs
>>733564021I loved Journey of the Cursed King when i played it on Playstation 2 but never got around to the others. Do they stack up in comparison? I think a secondary reason i found it so appealing at the time is because they made all the voice actors sound intentionally British as possible and it felt like i was watching a Saturday morning cartoon or something. Journey of the Cursed King is the best JRPG ever and i will say that without a shred of doubt. It's my favorite jrpg of all time.
>>7335655164-5-6 but they're even less interconnected than the original trilogy so it probably doesn't really matter
>>733564261GET BACK HERE!
What do the two online DQ games even play like? is it just turn base with other players?
>>733564261Great gif.
>>733564021I love dqi chose dq1and2 over re9quim
>>733564021>Newfag>Just beat 7 remakeSome of those islands were fucking depressing, man.
I have dragon quest fatigue
>>733564021I was playing 7R but I got distracted by other games and now I don't care anymore. I was enjoying it though
Dragon quest is better than final fantasy
>Horii>Yes, I believe it could be compatible with Switch 2 as well>Could be The retard is gonna release it on PS5 first.
>>733569430Was that recent?
>>733564021Too Japanese
>>733564021/v/ is full of edgy teenagers who want grimdark stories. I was the same way twenty years ago. I hated DQ/DW for being too "simple."Now they're fucking fantastic and a breath of fresh air.
>>733564021dragon warrior 3 was my first actual jrpg i played almost 25 years ago (i dont count pokemon). These fucking nigger kikes censored female warrior in the remake which made me not bother with it out of spite. fuck modern se
>>733564021XII sucked, VII remake sucked and now the series is pozzed too. It's over.
DQIII censored and pozzed body type, who the fuck wants to give money to such shitty companyIs I&II also censored and pozzed body type?
>>733570445Body types aren't even a thing in that game. You have one preset character in 1 and three (now four) preset characters in 2. The only thing they really do is give the kids in 2 way more characterization.
They are taking notes from gamefreak now
>>733564021How come Dragon Quest doesn't like Akira Toriyama?
>>733564021I have 3HD on switch and 8 on PS2, which one should I start first?
>>733564021They are just very bland
Go woke go broke
>>733564021I played both nes and snes versions of dq 1 to get into the series, and I didn't expect I'd like it this much, can't wait to play dq2
>>733571750I always recommend people start with NES, SFC, or GBC DQ1 as their first game. It's simple but incredibly good at what it does.
it's like cookie clicker with a story, boring
>>733572104I started with snes because people said it was the same as nes version just less grindy but that's completely false. The game balance in the snes version is way off and it's way too easy. I planned to try the nes version for a few hours just to see how grindy it was, but I ended up replaying the game again and enjoying it way more than the snes version
