My first dragon quest game was dqmj when I was about 9 I think anyway I loved it and played it a lot I was very good at it so then I went to the store and thought of buying another dragon quest game thinking it will be just like dqmj and it wasn't but I loved the new game even more that game was dragon quest 9 one of my favourite games which I bought in 2010 and kept it ever since my ds broke and forgot about it until I bought dragon quest builders which revived my interest in the series then I purchased dragon quest 11 then I remembered about how good dragon quest 9 was so I though maybe I still have it so I looked around the house and fount it at the bottom of an old box and took it out and I also found my dragon quest monster joker 2 game besides I couldn't play them until I bought a new NDS And i bought one and that was all the way back in September 2019 and I will continue these games

[@adamalarcon4973]

I first saw the game in a promotion on a game manual somewhere, I was instantly intrigued but it wasn't until 3 years later that I actually got to play it. When I did, I was instantly hooked, the game was the largest game on the DS I believe at the time for me. I spent around months playing the game since I loved doing side-quests and I was also afraid I'd lose out on something. Needless to say I was quite OP when I fought against Corvus. My character, Kab, was an Armamentalist with a complete mastery of the sword. His mercenary and friend, Trump (as in trump card against the Wight Knight, not THAT Trump) Rose, the Priest who could oneshot MKS with Thunder Thrust and made my entire party OP FAST aanndd Rui, the Sage, who I imagined wasn't that "in tune" with the world. aaahh thanks for discussing this game, I absolutely adore it and I love seeing videos about Dragon Quest in general.

Dragon quest IX is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. The customization, the amount of content, the stories (I felt so sad with the one about the doll) where all incredible. But there's something that no mather how hard I search for it, no one seems to appreciate it. I'm talking about the battle animations. In most turn-based rpgs your team and the enemies stay still, and when they attack they leap forward, do the animation and then leap backwards like they where proffesional athletes. On the other hand, in dragon quest IX there is a complete battle coreography with camera movement wich makes the battle look a lot more real and fluid. So far no other RPG, or at least most of them, have this feature, apparently because "It makes grinding too time consuming". I hope this feature comes back in the next game of the series, because not even dragon quest XI had it, which really surprised me, as there is free movement when attacking (thought it's useless). Anyway, let me know in the comments if you also love this feature as much as I do.

[@danjelig702]

I loved that! Battle animations in this game are fantastic. I've read this is because the game was intended to be an action JRPG early on, so with free movement, but then they rolled back to turn based gameplay- while keeping the characters freely moving around the battlefield. It's great.

[@calsdraws6096]

This game honestly hit harder than anything else, the graphics are a bit outdated but the story is incredible and I love the characters so much. It’s just such a creative story with a lot of feeling, I’d kill for a remake with updated graphics

The story is meh compares to others DQ games, especially 5, 8, and 11 (i never played 10). The main strength of DQ9 is the multiplayer ability with your friends and showing off your equipment to your friends. The post game contents also is great, again if you playing with your friends. I replayed this game with emulator, this game is boring af.

[@xTwilightWolvesx]

@@RRP6632I disagree. Some of the stories of the towns are heart-wrenching, like in Port Llaffan and Coffinwell. I do wish the characters in your party had more personality, but the stories in the towns make up for it, I feel.

Maybe I'm old school, but I started with the first back when it was called Dragon Warrior. It was just plain hard. The same could be said about its sequel. The third one was MUCH better. It wasn't until the fourth DQ game that I got even remotely into the series. The first three I lost interest cause they were so hard and their stories were blah. The third was decent, but I didn't really dig it like the fourth. Anyways, I came across this game via emulation and after maybe 20 minutes I ordered a copy from Amazon. Looking forward to throwing down on this one. I liked this one right away by virtue of the fact the outfits change and the combat is a little more than just the usual screens from games 1-6. The story might be a little wonky, but I'm stoked.

[@AsTheSkyFalls_]

@@lancelpaulguarin4780 The character you play doesn't have to be fancy for the game to have a deep meaning and sentimental point of view, allocating to the fact it was more made for plot and differing experiences with the boss fights, rather then the slow meandering plot lines of inter-character interactions and conversations. While DQIX does have some meaningful dialogue, most of the story is contained in the emotions behind the development of the fights and situations presented. Take the cut scene at the beginning when the main character falls off the observatory. It shows a lot more in depth of what he might have experienced rather than if It was all dialogue. In fact if you actually thought about it the cutscene is a strong statement by the developers in the way they set it up. The main character, barely of age just a day if not only a few hours, old enough to be in the protectorate by himself is suddenly able to be seen by humans, lost his wings and halo, and is separated from everyone he knows. While lack of extensive dialogue may make this game seem 'Bland' to you. If you took time, rather then making small minded, and misguided attempts at slandering this game, you may realize the finer points of consideration and intrigue brought into the story by its developers. For any other discrepancies with DQIX please feel free to reply and ask

Something that I didn't realise until I played through the game again when I was older was that there were quite a few stories about mortality. Like with Stornaway is was about the Wight Knight and his lost kingdom, Coffinwell was the loss of a loved one, Zere Rocks was about dying alone, Bloomingdale was dying young. Seems kinda fitting for quite a few stories for our immortal to experience was how the fragile mortality affected those around them.

I still have yet to play DQ11 (though I just recently got it for Switch) but DQ9 is my favourite alongside DQ5, they're both great for different reasons. The main story is really only the beginning. The game transforms into an open world RPG for the epilogue. It's absolutely massive in scope, probably something around 5-7 times larger than the main story.

[@ajgooner6728]

Honestly mate you’re gonna love DQ11. It’s easily one of my favourite games of all time. So much content, great storytelling and the best part of the whole thing are the characters.

[@koemi0199]

Oof don’t even get me started on Dragon Quest 11its SO good! Dragon Quest 9 is still one of the best games I’ve played but wow 11 is incredible

[@nathanpownall3553]

@bogboy i play this game every summer for days it’s literally my favourite game mad that other people still play it after being out for like 10 years it is one of the best games going

[@enzokrikorian5580]

Nathan Pownall , I agree. It’s also my favorite game and I still play it even if my 3ds is almost dead. By this point, I hope they make a remake on switch or something

This is the greatest game ever made for the Nintendo DS, fight me. -And Kirby Super Star Ultra of course!-

[@deltame3264]

FF12 2 revenant wings, the DQMJ 1 & 2, FFTA2, Platinum, HeartGold SoulSilver are solid contenders. What makes DQ9 so good is its length, so much Boss to farm that you basically did only the half of the game after finishing the main story. But the gameplay isnt really interesting after a while.

[@nepetaclose1338]

>youve never played >its one of the best selling ds games ahh yes, up there with other hidden ds gems like mario kart ds and brain training.

[@spyr0guy]

Nepeta Close It sold really well in Japan but not in the West.

[@nepetaclose1338]

@@spyr0guy its inarguably one of the most popular rpgs on the system, hell in the uk it had tv ads with celebraties at launch, it's not some obscure game.

[@melon6444]

@@nepetaclose1338 Pretty much every DQ game prior to 11 was obscure in America. You say it's one of the most popular rpgs on the ds, but the ds isn't really known for rpgs to begin with, outside of the Mario/Luigi and Pokemon games.

[@frillhaus]

@@nepetaclose1338 yes it is popular, but at the same time I have literally asked all my friends if they've even heard of the series and only one guy from primary school ever has. It's just not big in the western market

In Japan, but not the West. It's still in Persona/SMT levels of niche compared to Pokémon and Final Fantasy which are more popular here.

[@macepacegt1038]

Just downloaded the ROM. It's so amazing to relive the childhood memories that I grew up with in this game. The game itself is a masterpiece. The story is full of lore and not rushed at all, the battles were engaging. I could just go on and on about how great this game is

[@gabekelley2806]

sad that im finding this video so late, but glad that i found it at all! i have loved this game so deeply for so many years - glad to see some recognition being thrown its way!!!

it is the first dragon quest i ever played and the one which made me fall in love with the franchise! it is so good and one of the best games on ds in my opinion

[@kaironical3237]

Man, this game made my childhood amazing. Thank you for talking about it! I still play the game from time to time. As I have already defeated Corvus, I just try to defeat grottos and finish quests. I heard that Aquila can join your party after doing a certain quest, and there’s actually a lot more things to do. Completing more quests actually brings more closure, such as that quest involving the mayors sons mom from the port town. Anyway, really great game, loves the story lines, especially the Bloomingdale one

[@Max-sh6zu]

Oh my god. I could never stop playing this as a kid. It's my all time favorite game. Thank you for making this video.

Just started the game a week ago and didnt expect that it would take sooooo much time to explore everything. Never knew that something like this existed back then. Thanks to my little brother who gave me his old nintendo ds.

[@qffaffafaffrafrfraf]

I loved this video so much. IX is one of my favourite games and I'll never forget playing it as a child

[@johanforsenberg4180]

I love that the plot continues. After you beat the final boss there are a good number of "sidequests" (I guess since the main story is technically over) that progresses the plot further. Big things like finding out more about Stella and regaining your sacrificed Celestial status.

[@chaos4654]

Oh my Celestia...... I just realized Corvus' attack caused the earthquakes that killed Jonas's dad and freed the Ragin Contagion.

Man, this game was my childhood. I don´t know for sure how much play time I have but it is well beyond the 1000hour mark. Probably something around 1500hours. This game gave so much back then in a hard time and it had such a good emotional story and an insane post-story element with all the cave dungeons. I leveled multiple characters to have every single skill available.

[@infinitypirates9173]

I love this game, I wish that they made more like this... BEST DRAGON QUEST GAME EVER

Ok this was hilarious. Also very good review. I'm very touchy about this game as it was my favourite in the series (XI,IX,V are my top 3 DQ games). So you earned a new subscriber you bastard. I loved this game as you might have guessed , I especially liked the angle of being a deity who fell. Such a cool story. Loved the pacing ,gigantic world map,great gameplay ...folks,just play it if you haven't already

Thank you so much for your amazing work. I used to play this game almost 10 years ago and the nostalgia is crazy. 🙏😁

I never realized how far I got into this game, it was my favorite after getting it on sale at Gamestop and remembering the tv commercials for it. I first stopped for years after getting stuck at hootingham, then came back to beat him then never play it again. I wish I understood what was happening when I was younger so I would have grown a greater love for jrpgs, especially the Dragon Quest series. Thanks for reminding me of this game I forgot about for so long.

[@DeniosTheGamer]

nice vid. i love DQIX. it was my first Dragon Quest (my favorite series by now) and got me into JRPGs

[@evanpotter860]

My first playthrough I had one level 51 minstrel and couldn’t beat the Cat guy. I finally restarted when I asked my brother why it was so hard and he said I was supposed to unlock party members and vocation swapping ages ago. I couldn’t handle the idea of leveling up a bunch of new party members with my lv 50 minstrel taking a massive portion of the xp. I then proceeded to beat the game, and it became a tradition for a friend and I to restart the game once a year and beat the game all over again

Thank you for this awesome and funny vid dude!

[@kilotaylor6057]

I bought this game on a whim in 2011 while away from home for the Army. Easily one of the greatest games I have ever played. All the customization offered in this game is unparalleled in the other DragonQuests, the absolutely ridiculous amount of hours you can sink into this game and still not complete it, and the nostalgic factor knowing this game played a huge role in helping me pass time while I was homesick. ❤

Omg I can't believe people who played this game exist, like?? Where I live, NO ONE has ever heard of it. No one. Not a single soul. This feels unreal. I spend sooo many hours in this, I got my entire party to Lv 99 +10 and I beat all of the legendary bosses, yet there are still some quests and secrets I got left to do. This game has the greatest post-game I've ever experienced, like, my save file is 8 years old and I still find stuff to do. Such an underrated gem, thank you so much for this video! And shoutout to everyone who treasures this game in their heart as well. ♡
