We've gotten all of the mainline titles except the MMO in some form so I would be real surprised if we didn't get 11. I think at the very least we can count on the PS4 version.

4 has a fine cast of characters and the only person anybody remembers from 6 is Terry.

DQ6 just feels like a game that crammed too many ideas in it. Not that it makes it a bad game but 4 and 5 were way better at knowing what they wanted to be.

I think 1 is also neat from a historical perspective more than anything else, but it's also way less of a slog than 2 and much, much shorter so I like it more.

You don't get a weak character with the wrong choice in the DS remake but the game is blatant as hell about who it wants you to pick.

I guess my disconnect is the statement that 5 moved far away from the series since dang, as someone who really likes the series it just feels like a game that evolved with the times, while keeping that consistent DQ gameplay.

Potsticker posted:Would you disagree that 9 is more similar to earlier entries than it is to 5 and that's why I think it's silly to recommend 5 to someone who just came off of enjoying 9 compared to those earlier entries? Eh, with 9 in particular I think there are more post-NES games that could fit the bill honestly. 3 of course has the class system but 6 and 7 have it as a huge aspect. And while 8 doesn't, it does have a nice degree of character customization wrt skill point stuff. I feel like 4 and 5 play fairly similarly gameplay-wise insomuch as you get characters with set roles for the most part (I guess 5 has monster recruitment but smh if you don't roll with your entire family late game).

wocobob posted:How does the party system work in the later pre-9 games (6, 7, 8)? Do they have rotating casts, or is it one main party of characters throughout the game? I haven't played 7 but in 5 and 6 you have a roster of characters that you can change around, as well as being able to recruit monsters. Though with 5 once you get into the last third or so there is definitely a party combination the game expects you to have since the monsters complement your party more than anything else at that point. 8 has a set party of four, but in the 3DS version you get two additional characters.

I really liked the defense objectives, they really can make some stages tense because you have to balance out defending the objective and stopping the flow of reinforcements before you're overrun.

1 and 2 are the only ones that should be skipped I feel, everything from 3 onward ranges from great to decent. And heck even then 1 isn't bad or anything but at this point in time it's only worth playing for the historical value

Nickoten posted:I genuinely think Dragon Quest 1 is still a good game. 2 is okay, I think it suffers from being a little too open at the end though. It got to the point near the end where there were too many places at once to look for clues to a specific area and so I just gave up. I think the length is what really keeps DQ1 an interesting experience. It's short enough that you can see what the appeal was back when it came out and the very limited options don't overstay their welcome. Especially if you're playing with a speed-up option handy.

I'm sure the PS2 version is fine on its own but the added content is pretty cool (And I don't know if the PS2 version has party chat or not, if it doesn't then absolutely go with DS)

I think I had Maribel use the doll on turn one and since she's faster than 'ol bloodthirsty Hanlon I managed to use it. It results in the same outcome in the end of that scene course but it's real neat that there are a lot of small choices that result in tiny differences.

RedRupee posted:How much like other Musou games is DQ Heroes? I liked Hyrule Warriors a lot but I didn't enjoy Dynasty Warriors (one on the vita) at all. It changes things up a little, mainly with some tower defense elements; on most maps you're defending a certain point and have to balance between defending that point and killing the monsters that are summoning endless waves of attackers.
