Through the clunky NES gameplay (we had how many buttons?), the awkward renderings of Sugiyama's themes, the grinding, and the general inconvenience, there is so much about DQ3 that shines to make it so memorable. If this was a Japan poll, it would be number Thank you. Shocked by how low DQ3 ranked on this list. Blitzball from FFX holds the top spot for least favorite, despite how good the rest of the game was. The Triple Triad card game from FF8 is another. Played a lot of JRPG since, and several before, DQ8 but that arena still stands out as 1 of the better diversions to me. I also liked the monster arena better than any of the sidequests in 11. Didn't hurt that DQ8 was soon after FF7 and I always referred to the ridable great sabercat as Red XIII.

Initially released in the West with the name Dragon Warrior, the Chunsoft-developed first entry in this genre-defining series debuted on Famicom in Japan before migrating to the North American NES three years later, and over the past three-and-a-half decades we've enjoyed another ten mainline games, plus a whole host of spin-offs and side adventures.Īll but one of the mainline games has been localised for Nintendo consoles in the West - sometimes multiple times - so we decided it was about time to rank all the mainline Dragon Quest games with the help of you lovely lot.
