@@Tha_Kev I doubt Jirard will ever do another musou game, after Hyrule Warriors. Way too many hundreds of hours just mindlessly grinding, long past the time you finished all meaningful content. DQ11 is at least reasonable and mostly meaningful content, even if it still takes 1-200 hrs to complete.

I finished it (along side DQ1) around 2 months ago and have been hesitating starting the third due how many more mechanics there are in that game. Gonna have to sit down and read a guide about the most optimal way to go. Then I can finally move on and start playing 4,5,6,7, 8, and 9 on my 3ds. Damn...most of the Dragon Quest franchise is on 3ds, that's convenient.

@@FyreTeGo nah... I think it's easier than 2. If you stay away from strategy guides then you will do a lot of wandering blind and exploring the open world so you should not need to grind much. Best end group is the hero and all sages or maybe one fighter for those crits.

[@Morgil27]

I feel you're not being 100% clear on the dead monster targeting thing. The game actually does take that in consideration by grouping similar enemies together. For example, say you have five slimes and one rat. Because the slimes are grouped together, when one is defeated, the next party member auto targets the next in the group. Only if the last slime in the group is killed and the rat remains, do you have that situation where a party member wastes a turn.

There is a dog in Dragon Quest Builder's 2 that turns into a Princess if you hold up Ra's Mirror, but it isn't a part of the story and you could complete the whole game without knowing this was possible. I named the dog Thor so then I had Thor the Princess for the rest of the game

[@DragoonSlime]

Glad to hear some love for DQ2, I have had several friends play the first game and love it only to fall victim to the sequel's original version and never return to the series. I guess I know now that suggesting newer versions is an option rather than skipping it entirely. I definitely had a hard time at the end because I reached Rhone around level 22 or so, but with the adjustments made to newer versions it seems much less overwhelming to finish. It'll be cool to see if they revise even more of this game and DQ1 if the third game's remake does well.

I started playing Dragon Quest after i saw your first Dragon Quest video, got the entire Erdrick Trilogy on switch and beat all of them a few weeks ago. Tedious but they were fun, thanks for the recommendation!

[@phoenixshadow4631]

Its good to see that Jirard brought some new player to the Dragon Quest games. If you want to play a Dragon Quest game with less tediousness then the first three, I'd recommend playing the prequel to the Erdrick trilogy that is DQ 11 S. It has a larger and overall far better written cast of characters and rather than being the descendent of a great hero you are the reincarnation of a great hero and yet you are treated as a criminal on the run for a very large portion of the game which makes it have a more interesting spin because you as the player know that you have to be constantly be on the run in order to reach the point where you can save the world. Overall its probably ranked 4th in my standings. Another DQ game that does really well with some interesting story beats especially for side characters and the other party members is DQ8 which is commonly rated by many as one of the top 5 if not one of the top 3 mainline games. It has a great 3ds remake which allows the player to get two of the best side characters as party members, another optional ending, a super dungeon, and even new sidequests that let you obtain certain items earlier than otherwise (not by much like maybe a town or two ahead but still neat) or even just obtain items for free compared to in the stores. DQ 8 is also one of the funniest games and usually requires very little grinding especially if you do the sidequests, in fact the only times I've ever grinded in the game are for an optional task of beating the monster arena as early as possible and for beating a boss that is best described as the midway point of the game (which is really hard unless you either beat the monster arena specifically rank b early (so built in grinding) or grind to the levels where multiheal becomes available). In all though its definitely one of the better games having a place as my second favorite game in the mainline series. The Zenithian trilogy is also a good option specifically DQ4 and DQ5 as they expanded the party system, and really had you play through the character's pasts more. 4 let you play as a great warrior who just wants to save people, a pair of sisters looking to avenge a crime against them one being a dancer and one a fortune teller, a weapons merchant on the run (this part can be a slog but also let's you get all the money you'd ever need and let's you see an interesting side of things that you normally dont), a martial arts loving princess and her entourage of a priest and mage who go on a journey to a grand tournament only to encounter issue after issue on the way, and of course the hero him/herself as this was also the first DQ to let you choose a gender for the hero as well as being one of the only DQ games to do so. 4 was definitely a piece that the series needed to get where it is today and is undisputed one of the best games in the series. 5 was a game all about living the life of the main character from choosing their name at birth all the way until they got married, had a family, and ended up saving the world on the way. 5 is also commonly rated as one of the absolute best DQ games by almost every list I've ever seen largely due to the depth that it makes the player actually witness and feel throughout the game. While grinding can be a bit of slog its also largely optional as most grinding is done to try and obtain monsters for the party because monsters can join you now assuming you meet some special requirements in game. While I haven't gotten to play these as many times as some others these two are definitely top 3 material with 5 being my number 1 favorite and 4 in third. DQ9 is where customization shines for the series having the ability to fully customize the appearances and capabilities for the characters of the party with a great class system which expands overtime andaround 100 quest, more if you can get the stuff needed to hook up one fo the fan-made Nintendo internet stand in for the dS like Wiimfi. The story is by no means the best in the series but I'd say its definitely at least as good as the original Erdrick trilogy so decent enough. Grinding isn't needed too often unless you switch classes a lot but you really don't have to as you can make plenty of parties that can beat the game out of the first six classes just have one all-rounder of some kind, one dps, a priest, and fill in the last role with either another dps or all-rounder. Overall though its a pretty decent game and was actually one of the first mainline DQ games I ever got to play, and I've actually completed it three times and beaten it two more after that (the last two times I didn't have the Nintendo wifi as it was shut down). This game held my attention for so long despite some of the issues that I'd say its my number 5 for sure. The games to avoid or just watch others play are 6 and 7 as both tend to be more of a slog then the rest, however if you do play them they do have a lot of fun content its just that some of the grinding is terrible and 7 specifically is an extremely long game for dragon quest standards with some people playing for over 100 hours before finishing the game.

I’ve got the NES cartridge and beat it back in the 90’s and a few times since. I’ve also got the iOS remake and it’s okay, I guess. It makes the game ridiculously easy though.

I needa get on the Dragon Quest grind

[@GMCecil4]

I have to say that the party members attacking the air and wasting their turn makes the game fun for me cause then I have to think about each battle, I have to learn how much each party members hits for on X enemy, vs just tap A and let them auto kill everything. It makes each battle have strategy even the lowest level enemies you have to think about the battle so you don't waste turns, I really would like for games to have that as an option since Alot of these games end up mash the button untill the battle is over.

[@Hypershell]

Jirard is always afraid he'll miss some little thing...like how to get Zero to appear during the cast roll of Mega Man X2. Still waiting for him to actually complete that. There is something nostalgic about not needing to be anywhere near max level to beat a JRPG. I remember having no idea how high your level would go in the first Dragon Warrior, because the manual recommended taking on Dragonlord at Level 20 (the game lets you go as high as 30). I just beat this game not too long ago, which I felt was only possible without a guide thanks to the Switch's world map (I got lost searching for sigils in the GBC version). I enjoyed watching this video, and said to myself, "Wait a minute, what the heck is a Loyalty Card?!"

[@stevenn1940]

Talking about the switch version vs other versions made me think: "difficult" is not the same as "challenging." A challenge, in my mind, is more of accomplishing a feat of skill... dark souls, super meat boy, crypt of the necrodancer, etc, those are *challenging* games. That is different from, say, 5 hours grinding for levels in a jrpg, which is *difficult* (but likely not challenging).

It's unfortunate that the Super Famicom versions of Dragon Quests 1-3 never made it outside of Japan. I think those are currently the best versions of the trilogy. It's too bad that the Switch versions are based off the mobile version, with its bubbly sprites that contrast poorly with the 16-bit backgrounds.

The Legend of Zelda series by far and in large are NOT RPGs, they are action adventure games. The only game in the series that qualifies as an RPG is Zelda 2: Link's Awakening. This is due to the stat and level system in that game, and that game alone in the series, which is the defining characteristic of an RPG. The Hyrule Warriors series also qualifies as RPGs due to the stat and level based growth of the characters. (Sorry about that, minor pet peeve. People misidentifying games, or placing them in genres they are not. I've even seen people try to justify it by claiming you play a character. Well in Mario you play Mario, in Contra you play Bill and Lance, etc etc and they are not RPGs. The identifier for RPGs is solely based on state and level based progression and growth of the player's characters. Talking to people, using and equipping items are all part of the Adventure genre/catergory)
