The US' version's music is pretty nice, if only because it sounds like a super nintendo game when you actually play it. There's a comparison video on youtube, but it doesn't sound right, like they got it from an emulator or some shit.

I usually max courage, get Spears up to the 50% crit move(66 maybe?), get to +25 swords(82 I think) on the hero. Yangus gets up to the 50% crit move in the axe tree, gets up to +25 scythes or max, and maxes humanity or wherever Big Banga is. Angelo usually goes Staves and Bows for the caster benefits and that 4x attack. Jessica also takes staves, and most people would say to go whips for more damage, but I like swords for roleplay. I've only played through the 3ds version once, so I forget what I spec'd into for Red and Morrie. I'm pretty sure it was swords and claws respectively. You really want all the 50% crit moves that you can get to make metal king slime farming in the late game bearable. The 3ds version is truly the definitive version of the game, what with the boss rush post game dungeon and extra 2 party members.

It's an incredibly slow paced game where 90% of the actual content is just you grinding copy pasted dungeons that are less complex than the shit in Persona 3. It also runs like absolute shit on hardware to the point where just opening a menu on the field reduces the framerate to single digits and it eats inputs like a bitch.

3 is the epic culmination of every staple of DQ has. The music is great, the quest is great, the enemy designs are great, the character progression is great, the boss fights are great, the difficulty curve is great. It's an all around supurb game that the rest of the series, and Dragon Ball, takes huge nods from. Since it's the story of Loto/Erdrick, it really is the beginning of the series in a big way. Sure, it may seem clunky to someone who isn't used to the series, much less the 2d installments, but any true DQ fan worth their salt knows 3 is the objective best, if not their favorite. Toriyama, Sugiyama and Horii knocked it outta the park with this one.

The best part about 3 is it doesn't waste your time with pointless bullshit. Within 5 minutes you can have a full party and start killing slimes and it never slows down aside from the orb hunt which isn't nearly as bad as some of the backtracking in the later games or 2.

Seven is a a fucking fedex quest: the game. The backtracking in itself should be a crime. The game is made longer because devs wanted a big game for their debut going 3D.
Eight is a story that always brings something new on each chapter. Seven tried to have a cool mechanic, but ended up being backtracky, overstaying its welcome on areas, tedious, and the main story ultimately being very short with no substance get fragments > find ancient evil escaped > save god> god was ancient evil disguised as god > defeat ancient evil. That's it. Really.
There's no substance or anything. It has as much big scope story as Banjo Kazooie gathering jiggies to continue. At least banjo kazooie kept each world fun to travel to. DQ7 was only good in the theme of each world, but the slow pacing and lack of connection between each island don't really advance the story. It's lazy writing. You can do chapter based writing while still cook the story like Paper Mario does it. DQ7 is the worst DQ, and I never thought someone would think 7 would be better than one of the top tier DQs.

The thing I like about 6 and 7 more than 9 is as slow as they are overall they're much faster paced on a moment to moment basis. If you know what to do you can just run straight to next NPC and get on with the game while 9 makes you watch painfully slow cutscenes while even the simplest tasks take for fucking ever to complete. This isn't even getting started on the combat.

Most people go spears on hero first for muh Sandstone Spear for Dhoulmagus. For some reason Dhoulmagus is the casual killer sudden difficulty spike.

Even though I think 2 hasn't aged well, the first time I played it I kind of roleplayed a bit hard on that one and ended up with some Moonbrooke wincest, so the sidestory I personally ran with for that one might put it on equal grounds with 1.

This. 7fags just can't handle that the game is hardly one of the best in the series.

Despite the issues, VII delivered a lot of interesting plot ideas that would've made for a very neat anime adaptation. Only shit I remember from VIII are the first few hours of gameplay, the final boss (somewhat), the puff puffs, the Lord of the Dragovians and Morrie. The wedding is partly blurry. I remember the other games clear as day except VI which for some reason a lot of that just disappeared from my mind. Then again, I disliked the game at first as a prequel to V and IV. That shit would've been better off being standalone, and that's the only way I can think of it with even some fondness.

After Bianca gives birth to your two kids, she ends up being kidnapped by the Demon Lord's minions, which includes the fucking demon horse. The horse ends up taking her back to his tower and you go after him. By the time you arrive she's being held prisoner and you're forced to fight the horse. Bianca ends up casting a spell to disable the horse's magic shield, allowing you to kill him. He then casts a spell that turns you both into stone for about 10 years. Although its never implied that he actually does anything to her, the reason for the meme is because he kidnaps her and he looks like something straight out of a hentai film.

Are the first two games seriously only like 20hrs all up? I would have thought being RPGs they'd be much longer. I gave DQ1 a go years and years ago on a NES emulator and got mad with the menu system where I had to filter through like 8 options every time I wanted to move a pixel.

They're short but they are at least concentrated. This isn't like FF7 or whatever where a 25 hour playthrough it actually just 10 hours of you watching cutscenes and another 2 or 3 of attack animations and loading screens.

Just from my perspective, I have not played the game but I have been really anticipating it here is what I think.
VIII had a quality, extra nice localization. This game appears to be getting the same treatment. New UI, a button that lets the hero sprint instead of merely run, voice acting( if it's as gud as VIII I welcome it, if it's bad I can just turn it off.) a new hard mode exclusive to the west that levels up monsters and turns off XP gain if a monster is too low level forcing you to progress, AMD I am sure I missed some other stuff exclusive to the western release, but the one thing I am looking forward to is the new hard mode. Dragon Qiest has always been a tad on the easy side since it left the NES so I am happy to play it with some difficulty again. At the risk of sounding like a total fucking shill, I am confident it is going to be the best game in the whole series because of all of the difficulty modes and options. Dragon Quest VIII is a massive comfy game for me, and this game looks 100 times more comfy than that. My only gripe is the party looks a little boring design wise. 4, 6, 7, and 8 had really creative designs for the main cast. This one seems a little dull, but not too much. Camus, Matilda, and the geezer look fun and will probably be in my main party occasionally swapping out for the little girl character because that is pretty unique for a Dragon Quest game. We have not had a little girl in the main party since Princess Terry.
I really fucking want this game.

Dragon Quest Heroes is less a celebration of the series and more like an action RPG spin off, and considering the overarching lore of the Godbird, is canon. I fucking wish Dragon Warriors was a thing and it got the Hyrule Warriors treatment with every conceivable character in the entire history of the series got to be in it. 2 let you play as the monsters though and was really fun. To answer your question, we might not ever see the Builder in Heroes. The only time Heroes is allowed to kick back and have a little fanservicey fun is during the super high tension attacks for each character. We won't ever be able to play as Rocket, or Builder, or Trade, or Dragonlord ever.
Heroes was still a fun game though.

Oh I remember that fight, hard as hell lost several times THEN found out about the second phase. The only reason I was able to win in the end was my monster party (a golem, a slime of some sort and… can't say I really remember anymore) doing work on the second form. Though I think I was in the 24-26 lvl range which might be why I was having a bit of trouble.

I don't understand the hate for 9. I played that game more than any other Dragon Quest game. A metric fuckton of content, local multiplayer with a bro was a lot of fun. It was basically me and my best bros dream game because back in high school we would play Dragon Warrior 3 on the gameboy player. The gameboy player would let you plug in a second controller and we would make custom characters and then kill the Hero and coop the whole game with our characters. 9 basically let us do that on a whole new level I guess only autistic faggots like us could appreciate.
The only thing I hated about that game was only one save slot. It was such a comfy game.

3, 5, and 8 are all good starting points but they have different strengths. 3 is mostly about exploration and experimenting with different classes, 5 is has a strong emphasis on story and building your party from monsters you capture after battling them, and 8 is just very well rounded. The only negative about I can think of is that the addition of attack animations make the combat feel slower.

Started playing the first DQ on SNES. It's okay so far, but definitely feels very dated and clunky. I'm hoping at least the second one doesn't feel as sluggish when I get up to it.
The translation differences are interesting. I know the hero in the first three is called Erdrick. But in moon he's Loto. That's completely different. I don't see how they got from A to B.

I have never played a DQ game and want to play 7 or 8 on 3DS. What is the gameplay loop like? Are 7 and 8 the same in that regard? Do you get one quest/dungeon at a time or is it more open? Is it grindy for a JRPG? How open is the gameworld/is it very linear?
From what I've read most people prefer 8 over 7 and would recommend that to someone new to the series. I should be able to get 7 substantially cheaper used, since it's older. Keep in mind I have no idea how the DQ games work and what makes or breaks them.

I wouldn't recommend starting with 7. It's insanely long(it will take you 140 hours minimum to beat it) and the class system is really easy to fuck up if you don't know what you're doing.

Come on, my save file has little more than 100 (if that) and that's counting post-game grinding and beating the extra boss, first time blind playthrough AND playing in japanese. 140 is a retarded exaggeration.
I'll agree though that 7 is not a good starting point, go with 3 or just play all of them from 1.

That's a nice way of saying he only thought about himself.
There's nothing pessimistic about it, it's just the way he is. He leaves you when he loses interest in the quest, and you have to adapt to fighting without him.
