Oh he was just theartist.

Are the DQ games any good? are they better than the FF games?

Isnt DQ8 the only 3D one?

It depends on your tastes.  The way I like to answer that question is by describing each series strengths.  Final Fantasy focuses on Story and going for the 'cenematic feel' (aka trying to be like a movie) as described by series creator Sakaguchi.  Dragon Quest on the other hand focus on the roots of the RPG series, focusing on exploration, NPC interaction, item collection and gameplay, as described by series creator Yuji Horii.

If you like games that are more open-ended, with more exploration, a higher challenge, emphasis on keeping your characters well equipped and a deeper combat engine, you'll like Dragon Quest.

If you like games that focus more on story and long dialogue sequences, let you know when major bosses are coming, lay out the path you need to take and have a more 'active' or 'free' battle engine, or frankly if you're just looking for a game more like Final Fantasy, then this isn't a game for you.

Well going by that im more suited to Final Fantasy, since Dragon Quest sounds similar in gameplay to that awful Oblivion i just finished.
