I liked DQ1 more than FF!, but that's probably because I grew up playing DQ1 and DQ2, and didn't go back to FF1 until I'd already played FF4, Chrono Trigger, and FF6. But I still played through FF1 a couple times in a row on the NES, and once on the GBA for Dawn of Souls.
The reason I hate DQ1 now is because I played it again a few years ago, after not playing it for 15 or so years, and the amount of sheer grinding necessary for every new area and for every boss was just insane and ruined the game for me. I needed to gain some more levels for the last boss, but the strongest enemies in the game still had to be grinded (ground?) for a few hours. The game started to feel like homework, but I already knew the shitty ending.
That reminds me... after I finish Earthbound I should go back and finish DQ2. That game whooped my ass when I was a kid. I still haven't finished it.
