I feel like I'd really enjoy the Dragon Quest series if I'd just give it a shot. The only one I've played all the way through was the first game, but I played bits and pieces of 3, and the beginning of 9. Both of them seemed really great, but I just didn't have time to finish them all the way through. One day, though.

I've only beaten Final Fantasies I through VI, barring V. I'm not sure why I haven't beaten V; I've tried to pick it up a few times, and I got especially far in a couple of playthroughs, but I just never finished it. One day, though.

The only fair comparison would be between DQI and FFI since I've only beaten DQI, in which case I prefer FFI by quite a bit. But I have a feeling that once I beat DQIII, I'll like it more than the original version of FFIII.
