I'm on chapter 3 and I'm getting really tired of throwing chickenshit redshirt characters at endless hordes of



lvl 1-10 is always the worst part of RPGs so why are they making me do this multiple times in a row? Do I have anything to look forward to or should I just move on to DQ5

Yeah, it's right behind 8 IMO, and if you can't enjoy the awesome chapter element to it (toreneko esp) then you shouldn't be playing the series you giant retard

If you're a true gamer it's all good, if you're a basic casual chapter 4

sorry but you made a fatal mistake by thinking any dragon quest game besides earthbound could be good

if you want a good rpg where you're constantly changing characters/eras play live a live, a game that doesn't have archaic as gently caress gameplay, has an actual plot and doesn't throw tons of grinding at you over and over

the enemies are dangerous enough that you have like a moment to moment risk-reward thing going on. Like when you're low on HP or MP you start having to make really hard choices wrt healing, running, or powering through a fight. Or like, deciding when to escape from a dungeon and go back to town to lick your wounds. The fun of the game comes from limited resources like herbs or HP or MP.

like Etrian Odyssey is better for that so it's the only good jrpg, but dragon quest is almost good because you have to actually manage resources. Also the story is good.

like every fuckin jrpg is press X to attack, the interesting gameplay comes from balancing different currencies and from that slot machine buzz of, oh! I got lucky! or oh! I got unlucky. The other part is exploring and environment and DQ gives you a ton of space to get rewarded for exploring.

live a live has everything you just said + gameplay that has more going on then going through menus and making sure you don't run out of potions before the boss fight

if you want super deep resource based tactical thinking mans rpg combat play a dungeon crawler or something, not dragon quest where all problems are solved by having bigger numbers than the enemies

how can you not like jrpgs but like dragon quest, the most "jrpg" jrpg to ever exist

it literally invented the genre (that and japanese made wizardry sequels, but the only difference dragon quest has from one of those is art by the dude that made dragon ball)

Dr Pepper posted:

i didn't say you need to grind, I said all that matters is your numbers vs the enemy. keep your numbers up and make the enemies numbers go down, make sure you have enough numbers to buy enough potions that you don't run out. that's the gameplay of dragon quest, that and watching cutscenes or walking down endless fields/hallways
