To me it was DQ9 because of sheer amount of improvements to the series. Grind seemed to be cut 3 times at least, the story was good and the amazing amount of content especially post-game. DQ7 would be my close second because I just loved the story concept, but the grind killed it for me so I never really finished it. Had to quit right before the last dungeon because my chars were so weak and I couldn't find the will to grind for hours so I can continue.
