Favorite mainline Dragon Quest game
I've recently started making my way through the series and I am in love. I was wondering what people who've played the series think of it, since I've only really spoken to Pumpkin and Wolf Kanno about it
I can't really vote in the poll yet, since I'm only up to III, but so far III is the best by a landslide. I really can't remember the last time I was so involved in a game world.
So yeah, favorites? Least favorite entries? What do you like about the series?

Still the entry I have the most fond memories of.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog Where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you, the angels get a better view Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
Best: IV, V
Really, really great: III, VIII
Good: I, VI, VII, IX
Acceptable: II
I very narrowly voted for IV in the poll.
I feel like VIII evolved the series and was closest to an FF-inspired DQ that it could be, and as such it is my favorite. I also really liked IV-VI.

V by far
III without a doubt.
I really liked IV and VIII. But out of them VIII is the one I still play the most.
V, it is what comes to my mind when I think Dragon Quest.
VIII, followed by VII and V.

VI, followed by VII and IV
Ooh, finally someone mentioned VI! I rarely see anyone say anything good about it on the Internet, which is disappointing, since it sounds like it has a lot of things I would like. Is it just forgotten about because it was released in the West too late?
Probably. I love the dual world concept, and the class system and plot are very positive aspects.
I've been really interested in trying out Dragon Quest for a few years now, but still haven't played any of them. I have IV, V, VI, and IX on DS. I also plan on getting VII and VIII when they come out on 3DS. Unfortunately when I bought all the DS Dragon Quests, life got too busy to actually play them, but I'm thinking about starting one up after I finish Xenoblade.
I actually wanted to try getting the first one on my phone, but my phone is too new and Square Enix isn't very good about supporting newer versions of Android/IOS I've found. It kind of sucks.
Edit: I'll probably try out the Gameboy release of Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 whenever I get around to the originals.
I don't know, it was fine and I enjoyed it, I just didn't enjoy it nearly as much as some others.
Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2 - my first experience of this series and wow what an impression it made!!
