This series really does deserve more attention. I first tried it with Dragon Quest IV on the DS and while i feel it started off a little too slow, it quickly morphed to one of my finest experiences with a JRPG yet. I have yet to purchase or play any future Dragon Quest titles but i do plan on pursuing the series because it is really good.
I do look forward to the release of Dragon Quest IX because i believe it may very well be the best JRPG in a very long time.
How technical is your game?
