Never played a dragons quest game, should probably get around to it at some point considering how many have been made. Where would be the best place to start?

For me DQ4 on DS was the starter, really got me into series. 5, 6 and 9 was to follow.

Depends on your style. 4 is decent but has pacing issues, 5 is pretty good and has the best story of the 4 DS DQ games and involves marriage and aging (the game goes from childhood to adulthood to etc.), 6 is probably the most "light hearted" and is lengthy but not too long, has a lot of fun with what it is and never takes itself too seriously and has a lot of clever items you'll use in the overworld, 9 is the "newest" and the longest of the 4 and is in 3D vs the other 3 that use DQ7's PS1 era 2D sprites in 3D environments and has a lot of quest missions and customizable party members. 8 is also really good, fully orcastrated, British VA, fully 3D and a pretty lengthy game.

7 is somewhat rare and was only released in Japan and the US. 1-3 range from common to almost impossible to find. However 1-3, 4-6, and 8 are availible on iOS/Android.

I'd personally start with 5, 6, or 8

So this game might come west since the original(ps2 version) did. Seems like they could just use the original translation.

The same could be said about DQVII, and we're still waiting.

Not really since the shortened the beggining of the 3DS verion by a lot. Still hoping it makes it to the West eventually though since it looks a lot better then the PS1 version.

Loved Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2. Hope they bring it over to the West.

This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

Well that's a very interesting one. Guess this pretty much confirms that the iOS version under-performed.

I'd be interested in this if it came west. Just like I love Vita for being a portable machine that can play things I love like Atelier and Disgaea, 3DS is building up a nice catalogue too. Tales of Abyss; Xenoblade and now this.
