Dragon Quest

Just a little.

I personally like Akira Toriyama style art, maybe because I watched DBZ alot back in the day.

I just recently got hooked into the DQ series (rather late really since I'm almost 21 years old) and I'm having a blast with DQ4 for the NES. This weekend I'm gonna go buy DQ8.

Jessica= teh yum. She has a spell called "sexy beam".

I heard the DQ games that got released into the states had alot of their content altered due to mature situations... yet for some reason we have the GTA games with their high ranking mature content. Well I suppose it'd make sense since the DQ games have a somewhat cartoonish appeal to them and they figure mostly younger players would want to play them

Also, did you know that the Japanese gov't banned the DQ games from being debuted on any day but sundays? Ever since DQ3 came out alot of people have been skipping work and school just to line up and buy the games.

Dragon Quest/Warrior is an awesome series. I used to own DW I, II, and III for the GBC. III is my favorite out of all of them. In fact, as soon as I install the NES emulator, i'm gonna play DW IV

And yes, I love Akira's DQ drawings

The Dragon Quest series is a series I love, but I wish I had more time for. I have beaten the first one countless times, and plan on beating II and III (GBC versions--in fact, I am in the middle of II). I'm in the middle of IV (best NES one by FAR...can't wait to beat it!), too on my PSP emulator. V and VI I will only play if I can find an english translated ROM. I'm also kind of toward the end of VII (MARK MY WORDS I WILL BEAT IT SOMEDAY!!). I bought VIII yesterday, and I love it a lot. I just hope I don't let that one become a game I sloooooowly beat.

In case you think I'm just being lazy towards the DQ series, it's not that. It's just what I do sometimes with games.

EXAMPLE: One year I got Resident Evil 3 for Christmas. I didn't really touch it that much. In fact, I let edczxcvbnm borrow it a couple of times. About a year later, I played it one night untill three in the morning, then woke up the next day and beat it.

Moral of story: In time, I beat every game I own!

Yeah, welcome to Dragon Quest.

Okay simply DragonQuest is my favorite RPG series. None of them can really beat FF4 or 6, but altogether they are the best. What I love about the game is how you play the hero. You don't really just go from dungeon to dungeon and watch the story in between. There's some of that, but exploration is the main thing. Always has been. Another good thing is that the npcs all seem like real people, and aren't just there to tell you where the next dungeon is. Lots of comedy in the game too. Not the kind that's shot out of a cannon but still makes you chuckle.

Plus the character designs rock. Like Toriyama or not, he keeps it fresh. The only bad one is DQ2's hero with the flight goggles.

The most popular DQ ever was 3, and for good reason. It had a huge map, all kinds of sidestories, and lots of innovations.
It had the first:
1. Ghostship, which you had to track down with a bone compass.
2. Ghost love story, which was pretty cool really.
3. Egyptian area
4. Ghost town. That seriously threw me for a spin when I first played it.
5. Surprise fake ending and extended world!!!
6. Create your own characters.
7. Flying animal. Yeah FF had an airship that was faster, but the Phoenix was really cool.
8. Talking horse
9. great box art. I really liked the box art in the US. Probably why I noticed this one.
10. Superclass. The sage rocks in this game, and has a nice design too.

DW4 was probably a better game, with all of the balance fixes and things, but 3 was just so huge. Honestly I would say they are about matched, and 3 is remade for the SFC and the GBC so you can find it easily.

srsly DQ should have a subforum or something.

What annoyed me about DQ1-3 was the 'Thou Art etc etc etc'. I freaking hated that. That's why I'm trying to find a translated rom for DQ3 for SNES.

[Classic Axe]

Go now and tempt not the fates.

Thou art dead.



Wait that was cool. Better than "Hoo Boy" and "Can't you see I love soda pop?"

[DJZen]

Whatever...
