The side stories of Dragon Quest VII are some of the best I have ever seen. The whole concept of Dragon Quest VII is astounding, so I will have to kindly disagree :D.

That's really too bad. I haven't played that many Dragon Quest-games, only played DQ8 to completion. I started DQ4, but it didn't interest me all that much, I'll probably try and get further in it and maybe finish it if I like it at some point. If I like DQ4, I'm planning on trying 5 and 6 too.

5 is AMAZING

One of the best stories ina  JRPG....not because its deep or anything....but because its very enjoyable & full of charm.

It was the first contact I had with the series. I couldn't play more than 1 hour of it. Maybe I'll try again sometime.

Actually, its still pretty good just by itself.  If you discect the story by itself, its pretty broad.  There's about 12 major points to it.  But more than that, the best part of it is how the gameplay was built around it.  The developers stated the reason they developed the monster collection system  and the ability for the hero to get married was because of the fact certain characters left your party over the course of the game.  Now THAT'S what I call focusing on the gameplay.



Six upcoming games you should look into:

 

  

Dragon Quest V is definitely my favorite in the series. Dragon Quest 4 and 8 are just as good.

7 though? Holy hell, is it everything you could possibly hate about Dragon Quest thrown into one.

The only thing that I think it has over any other Dragon Quest is the fact it got translated in complete english and not these stupid accents that completely butchered Dragon quest 4's beginning and made Sancho from Dragon Quest 5 look like an idiot.

What's worse, they don't even have a country that speaks like Sancho does so his accent never made any sense.

I agree that Dragon Quest 5 is the best. At least the best of what I have played. I also place it among my very favourite games of all time.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Who did you marry in your playthrough?

I agree....the monster collection system was extremely good....similar to pokemon but different too

Well, since I've played both the SNES and DS versions, I married both 'original' girls (Bianca and Nera).  I'm gonna replay it again sometime and Marry Deborah though, heh.

And yeah, the monster collection system actually predates Pokemon.  Some people think it inspired Pokemon (as did many other things it seems).  Though its not the first game with a monster hunting system (that title probably goes to Shin Megami Tensei on the NES).

The DS version of DQ5 has an extra person to marry as well.

One thing I REALLY like about DQ5 is the commentary system. Your characters comment on everything in the game if you press them to; and it is different depending on who is in your party, which makes for this game worth playing at least 3 times (Chrono Trigger is the only other game I can think of which had a system which truly encouraged players to do that). DQ8 had a similar system, but it worked no where near as well as DQ5's - it was more of a hassle than a welcomed feature in DQ8 with the way it was implemented.

I married deborah cus I thought she was sexier & I thought it would be funny to have someone like her

HEr interactions withy ou are HILARIOUS.....definetely play with her as your wife!!

Yeah I knew pokemon was inspired by it cus DQ5 came out in the early 90's (or very late 80's)
