Dragon Quest is one of the cornerstone JRPG series that helped make the genre what it is today, and these are the best games.
Thanks to their innovative approach to gaming, RPGs like Dark Souls, Final Fantasy VII, and Dragon Quest left a significant impact on the genre.
ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.
In Japan, Dragon Quest is a cultural phenomenon. In the U.S., it's that "other" JRPG franchise. What caused such a massive difference in the game's global reception?
These days I enjoy dq way more then ff. Dq 11 was better then anything after ff10 maybe even ff10. I do feel that dq12 is gonna go action based rpg. Which is unfortunate but time will tell.
Thankfully thats shifting more and hopefully means more localisation (especially DQX offline)
Strange. Gamers complain about game franchises being the same thing over and over again. DQ actually gets praised for it.
I personally have played several DQ games and I tend to stop playing them after 30 hours. Just too long, and repetitive. Most RPGs I suppose are like this-but with DQ I lose interest as the plot doesn’t really grab me.
The publisher's big three includes Final Fantasy, which has shipped and sold 173 million units across a multitude of games spanning 35 years; Dragon Quest, a 36-year old beloved RPG series that has sold 85 million copies on all platforms; and Kingdom Hearts, a relatively newer franchise released in 2002 on the PlayStation 2 that has since moved over 36 million copies on a number of releases across multiple console generations.
With dragon quest seeming like the only true jrpg out of the bunch. Thanks for dq atleast square
Dragon Quest VIII 4th? Yikes. That's easily number 1 for me. I'd love to be able to play it again on newer consoles.
