Hyadain - Dragon Quest IV - Journey To Tomorrow - English Subtitles

1 because it was my first console RPG. It came free with my Nintendo Power. I still quote it to this day.
4 because see above.
9 because I'm a sucker for dress-up of Fatguts and the space train.

Given the "first release only" clause, 5, 8, 9 is, in fact, the correct opinion.

I can't even imagine the feverish opportunity nostalgia I missed out on having not played V when it was contemporary.

VIII is one of my top 10 rpegs of the forever.

I don't think I have much more time left in my for IX, and its story is disappointingly compared with VIII, AND I wish I knew people within a 100 mile radius to play the damn thing with, but mechanically that game is sound as hell.

I just realized that I voted V but have never actually played more than 5 minutes into the SFC version.  Oh well.

I don't think I have much more time left in my for IX, and its story is disappointingly compared with VIII, AND I wish I knew people within a 100 mile radius to play the damn thing with, but mechanically that game is sound as hell.

I quit at the last boss.  Really should get back to it, but now I've got two shrink-wrapped PSP games on my shelf and a copy of SF4 due in the mail tomorrow.

Last I played I was grinding the random dungeons.  Which are boring, because they are random.  But I hear the postgame shit is pretty great, and yeah, it would sure be nice if the multiplayer component were viable on my continent.

But yes, story's thin even by series standards, while mechanics are fucking wonderful and every JRPG developer needs to start imitating them RIGHT THE FUCK NOW.  The take on random encounters, in particular, is something people need to sit up and take notes on, even if it IS kinda bullshit in a couple places.

Dragon Quest X has been announced and will be some kind of MMO.

Well, MO, anyway; the nature of the online play still appears to be up in the air.  And considering they've said it'll work as a single-player game, it's entirely possible we'll be seeing something like DQ9 with actual online play.

Then again, given that there's chatter about a subscription fee, you WOULD tend to assume that there'd be a bit more justification for that.

PSOv2 and PSU did too, memory serving, but they're closer to Diablo than MMOs.

Dragon Quest X will have single player "For the first few hours" and then everything after that is online.

I've only actually played 1&2 seriously. I got into the series cause of Dragon Warrior Monsters. That said, I like 2 because of it's graphics, feel, and characters. But My favorite two Dragon Warrior games would be Monsters 2, and Swords.

4 for nostalgia, 7 for the idea that God is so powerful that if you fight him he will have no problem wasting turns doing funny dances, and 8 for being adorabubble.

They're all pretty faithful to the originals.

I found DQ4 at a local used game store. It's pretty fun so far! I wasn't sure what to name my character, but after I saw that I could be a female warrior with green hair, there was really only one choice.
