DQIX was fucking great, I don't even know why people consider it a bad DQ

wasnt 9 the one with the ganguro fairy that every jap hated?

>>16033531

yes

based Stella

The conditions for unlocking classes were obnoxious and made me outright quit the game because it wouldn't let me use the classes I wanted without jumping through hoops.

>>16033682

Like what?

Been a while since I played and I don't remember having any problems like that.

It was okay. Definitely not the worse DQ by a mile.

Certainly didn't like how the game doesn't tell you ingame or even in the instruction manual that weapon levels are shared across all classes that use those weapons so you don't waste points on obtaining a classes passives. Really irked my OCD regarding class building having wasted levels.

Not having US releases probably explains a little bit of no one talking about them.

>>16033828

Really? no wonder the us really missed out.

Wasn't this the one where the entire postgame was hidden behind wifi that no longer functions and had sidequests on the same tier as MMO quests.

>>16033513

>>16033731

Are there any bad DQs? I played 3 and 7-9, all of them were solid.

>>16034011

None unless you nitpick at DQ1

The remakes for DS and 3DS are debatable for the painfulness of the accents though, and DQ Tactics (DSi) was just plain uninteresting

>>16034011

Not if you play in Japanese. DQ4 for DS in English doesn't have party chat IIRC, also accents

>>16034011

VI and VII are long, drawn out and terribly boring.

>>16034062

I thought 6 was one of the shorter ones? 7 really was too long for its own good though.

Most Atlus games in the 00s

>>16034011

Dragon Quest 10 sucks. Then again, MMOs from primarily singleplayer franchises usually suck. See Fallout 76 and Final Fantasy 11/14.

>>16033842

Yes. Also it runs like ass on hardware.

>>16034011

2 supposedly

>>16034062

>complaining that a dragon quest game is long

LMAO

>>16034062

>>16034670

DQ6 is actually good, but DQ7 really, REALLY pulls padding out it's ass because it actually does monster of the week stuff instead of an ongoing plot, which was neat-ish about until the half point.

>>16034749

DQ builders really wasnt the game I wanted, I was hoping someting more like a town management sim where you populated towns and cities across the world rather than minecraft with quests

>>16034728

> Throw on the two draconic mode Harder Enemies + cant get exp on monsters under your level

are these mods? options? or defaults in the base game.

>>16034772

The worst thing 7 did was making a third of the game without the job system and fucking your party roster like 3 times for no good reason.

>>16034828

the game is super easy, I'd recommend it just for the challenge, you dont even have to grind if you forge your armour and weapons up and make a good character builds. Most bosses ae susceptible to status effects in this too

>>16034831

yea? maybe i'll start with the higher difficulty stuff, then tone it down if it turns out that im actually a retarded casual.

can you toggle those things off later on? or does it also need to be disengaged when you begin the game.

>>16034828

Builders pales in comparison to either Minecraft or Dragon Quest.

>don't compare it to those, compare it to Dark Cloud instead

Builders pales in comparison to Dark Cloud 2.

>but you can watch people live in the town you built

Builders pales in comparison to The Sims.

It's a boring game that uses a better game's art to draw you in and then pushes tasks on you to keep you playing.

>>16034011

IV is the only one I've not been as interested in

>>16033842

not the entire postgame just a few things,and you can still use wifi if you're smart and have the right stuff

>>16034908

your logic is flawed.

its a better game than minecraft. its a different genre entirely from dragon quest. its better than dark cloud 1 and definitely 2 since it actually has building elements.

its MUCH better than the sims.

>pushes tasks on you.

like… missions? such as finding key items, defeating bosses, finding people, or constructing certain things to certain specifications? like what a proper game would have you do?

stick to minecraft you simpleton.

>>16034799

>fucking your party roster like 3 times for no good reason.

Mostly agreed, but Kiefer leaving and how everyone handles it over time gave a real sense of scale to the game. I thought it's clever how the handled it.

Dragon Quest VII just never fucking ends, there is always the next self contained tale-like story that teaches a new moral, its fun.

>>16034970

>its a better game than minecraft

In no way that anyone who likes Builders can articulate. It doesn't let you dig as deep or build as high. It forces you to build structures according to blueprints or they don't function. It doesn't let you play it without subjecting you to an interminable tutorial. It doesn't have hidden structures to find. Its world is divided into tiny sections that are locked behind the inane storyline.

>its a different genre entirely from dragon quest

I make the comparison because it's riding on Dragon Quest's success. Dragon Quest defined its genre, and many games in the series are great games in that genre. Builders is an inferior imitation of Minecraft with nothing original about it.

>its MUCH better than the sims.

Sims can interact with the houses you build for them in more ways and with more depth than the sub-Oblivion-tier NPCs in Builders. If that's what you're playing the game for, The Sims is superior. You can also make your own Sims that will interact in different ways depending on their personalities.

By "tasks" I mean the pointless errands that trash games like this call "quests" and throw at you one after another so you feel like you're accomplishing something and making progress. These tasks aren't fun at all on their own, but you keep doing them because the game pats you on the back and says good job for each one you finish.

>grind xp

>grind materials

>10 recolors of each enemy

>fully linear with no replayability

I've played mobile games that were better than this mobile game.

>>16033495

>Dozens of hours worth of content

you mean hours of mashing A in random encounters
