It's weird to see someone say they liked one game in the series and "hated" another. It's such a remarkably consistent series, opinions generally don't diverge that much across the games.9 aside, I guess
2, imo, shows its age more so than any other DQ game. Still a great game and hugely influential, but a agree it's to cryptic.I like some a lot more than others. I find the job system in 6-7 real tedious. I think 2 is too cryptic for its own good.

They bent over backwards in remakes to address that, though. So far that in the mobile version, it's no longer even possible to enter the final cave without all of the seals.
surprised on the low numbers on 9. it actually had a streetpass kind of thing going for it back on the ds.
I think 4 NES is super easy to go back to, personally. I alternate my replays between the versions and I always enjoy going back to the NES version. Using a code to enable manual control in chapter 5 is an interesting experience, too.
Of course, the NES version of 3 is great too. Both feel quite modern even today.
2010 Square Enix Survey said:1. Dragon Quest IX (DS)
2. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
3. Dragon Quest III (NES)
4. Dragon Quest V (SNES)
5. Dragon Quest V (DS)
6. Dragon Quest VI (DS)
7. Dragon Quest VII (PSX)
8. Dragon Quest IV (DS)
9. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2 (DS)
10. Dragon Quest VI (SNES)
III might as well be the Final Fantasy 7 of the series in Japan. Everyone played it as a kid, often as their first RPG. V is just the best in the series.
Interesting results. Google turned up another survey from 2010, this time from Square Enix. On that occasion DQ9 came out on top (which, btw, is the correct outcome).
Quite a few youngsters put in Other. I wonder what games those are.
it came relatively early on the Super Famicom life. without checking, I think it came a few months after Street Fighter 2, so it rode on the coattails of that title on a moment the console was getting a bunch of big hits
Dragon Quest 5 rode on the coattails of Street Fighter 2?

Did 3 ever get a port/rerelease on 3DS in Japan?
I wish but no there never was in the States. Not sure about Japan, VC maybe?
In fact it's been over a decade the first three had a remaster.
They were bundled on the Wii as the hook game for DQ X, in Japan only.
They've also been redone for mobile in the last decade.
I think my not liking VI that much despite really liking IV and V is that I didn't get around to playing VI until shortly after I had already played enough of VII to where VI just felt like a slight step back.Specifically I never understand the people who seem to love IV and V but hate VI. Other than maybe being a bit too long I'm not sure what it's crime is to bring on that opinion
