DQ1 has such a unique feel and atmosphere, I love it to bits.

I don't want to post any spoiler but the story is simple but highly enjoyable to me.

I've only played the Switch version of DQ1, but I did really enjoy it. I don't know how different that is to the NES version? It felt like a really solid foundation to build off of. I don't remember it being overly complex, but it was extremely charming

Shit I keep forgetting 7th game exist lol and if I had to replay it again I would pick the 3DS version despite I liked the theme of the game but PS1 version drags too long and long damn.

I just don't have an emulator or actual hardware to do the 3DS right not. Plus I just love the PS1

It's been a while since I played the switch version but if I remember correctly, it's easier than the other 3 versions. If you enjoyed your time with it, I highly advice the SNES version (translated versions are available here on the repo) and the GBC version (under the name Dragon Warrior).

This might be surprising a lot of you but I love Dragon Quest!
I only discovered the series with XI then played the rest and I fell in love with the series.
My two favorites are the SNES versions of the first one and III.

The slime avatar likes DQ?! No way!

One day I'll do DQ6 on the DS.

It feels weird to know that the remakes are also old...

It’s certainly worth a playthrough. 6 is really underrated imo.

Tierlist fighting is the death of civil discussion, but I think this one is more innocuous than ranking games

Here’s my ranking of the Hero designs:

Feel free to tell me how wrong I am for putting the IV guy so low (it really just boils down to his ugly pajamas and the girl option being like the coolest Toriyama design ever made)!

My only complaint is that it's just the mainline games Seriously though, I'm not even sure how I'd rank the designs. I'd say 8's protag is my favourite design and probably call it a day
