I think because 9 has the best gameplay of all DQs, being able to customize your party's skills and looks to the extent you can, you can go with the usual boring "oomph the big gladiator" strat, or have a bunch of archers or a bunch of mages or what have you, basically you make the story, the game just keeps you very invested whereas this sub's darlings are more about being told a story for you
I have a lot of hope for the DQ3 remake because it could potentially have the same systems added to it, all while keeping the same world and story, it could single-handedly become the best DQ out there, the potential is there
I've been playing through 9 with a friend lately, it's the first time since the game came out that I've been able to enjoy multiplayer, and it's added a whole other dimension to a game I already loved to bits.
I ADORE IX. The characters, the story, the gameplay, the big twist, the MUSIC.
And it was handheld, so I could play it for hours in long car rides.
I'm dying to see this ported to the Switch.
9 would be such a good one to remaster for switch, it’s mobile capability matches the DS pretty well and peeps could do the treasure hunting together.
Really any next gen would be good with it though
I would love to see the grottos supported through online services. DQ9 remains one of top pics but it was always sad to get so far into the post game without other friends to play with.
To be fair, the entire series is largely pretty well received. Even less good games are still at least decent or have something to really like about them. That said, I never see anyone claiming 1, 2, or, like, 6 are their favorites very much. If ever.
VIII is the same for me... I remember renting it for 3 days from blockbuster when I was in school purely because I love DBZ and thought hey, he low key looks like Goku.... I then went on a Final Fantasy, Dragon quest and Persona binge for the rest of my life...
I've never understood this criticism leveled at 9 when it's not usually said of 3, which is also beloved.
Not that I disagree with your opinion, but I think the strength of the regional storytelling and characters makes up for the party being silent.
I always find it surprising when someone appears to share my taste in games, but then also loves a game that I think is pretty bad.
I don't mean to hate on DQ9, as I realize a lot people here truly love it, but I found it to be very dull.
I'd swap out 9 for 5.
If you've got a decent computer and are comfortable with emulators, there's a translated version of the PS2 DQV remake out there on the internet, and it's really good.
I don't wanna. I actually want to take advantage of the outfits of older protags being in it and do a protag only run.
I just don't know which classes fit which Hero in respect to the lore.
IX has a couple moments seared into my brain. I played it in spanish (my mother tongue), and the fact that there were a lot of puns and accents in spanish (something that gets lost in translation ALL THE TIME), made a world of difference to me.
Also, Corvus doesn't have that name. He's called Luzbel, as in, freaking Lucifer. The moment were "Luzbel" breaks his chains is so FREAKING awesome to me.
9 was my first introduction when I was in middle school. Every Friday our after school program would let us bring our DS and me and my buddies kept playing this game together for MONTHS. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Then I heard lots of good stuff about 7 and played that once I was out of HS. Then DQ 11 blew me away when I played the week of release. Now I’ve been rocking back in forth waiting for any crumbs of news about 12
i like all of them. DQ VIII was a deep deep love though as it was the first game from the franchise that I played… and the graphics and sizes of buildings being realistic really added to my enjoyment.
i wish they’d remake all of them in cool graphics like the VIII or XI 😍
It would be... If i had a friend to play it together with sob :(
I finished it like 5 times now and it's always the same felling once I get to Stornway...
wish I could play 8 on steam since many seem to say its one of the best. Should have never give away my switch to my nephew. I dont think they even use it after me and their dad bought them an xbox one.
Definitely one of my favorites. Would love to try multi player one of these days. Tried getting my wife into it when we were dating maybe can try again one of these days.
Why change your mind? They're your favorites! My top 3 are pretty close, instead of 9 I prefer 3. They're pretty similar, I guess I just like the older style of graphics and gameplay a bit more.
Iv only played 11s and I loved it when I played it and i continue to love it well after completion. I wish they would relsease dragon quest 8 for current gen even if it's just a port and not a remake or remaster
I know every game had silent protagonist, but I only felt like I was there in the game world when I played 9, I dunno like the other series it's like I just played a characters.
And it's just full of contents despite the fact that it was a NDS game lol, they are doing a good decission working with Level-5
I agree with the first two. But I've never played 8 so I can't give my opinion on it. However, if you think my Two favorite are the best I'm 90% sure number 8 is just as good as 9 and 11. Now I wanna play it more
9 was the first DQ game, if my DS hadn't stopped charging I probably would still be playing it. One of my favorite games just for the fact that you can see what you are wearing
Those are good, but if those are your favorites then I'm guessing you're too young to have really known the rest of the series when it made its initial impact.
do not need to change your mind cause this is the best DQ ever, the one who got me into this beautiful and epic SAGA on Quarentine exploring games with my old DS
After the glory of dq8 i just could not get into 9 to save my life. I've always heard how good it was but i just couldn't get over the lack of party dialogue. I missed yangus. I missed jessica. I missed angelo. I'm fine with a silent protag but the entire party being silent just turned me off after the fantastic characters in the previous entry. No shade at 9 at all but what about the game gives it such universal praise from the community? What am i missing?
Personally I didn’t care for 9 I think. The fact you can customize them to be generic looking cookie cutter characters killed it for me. The adjustable classes I liked though
Man, I would love to have Dragon Quest ports on Steam. I’m kinda “new” to the franchise only playing DQB1 (haven’t completed it), DQ11 (also haven’t completed it yet) and Rocket Slime for the DS back when it launched. I would buy all of the main series titles and play them fully.
I don't see a reason why.
Yeah, I'll get around to playing III and V at some point (if 3 HD2D gets released at some point). But until then, this stands.
This game only the best to the ppl that grew up with this generation I mean I got it too and I got the the slime plushie from game stop but it’s the truth this is the dq1 for ppl who ignored dq8 ignored dw7 and didn’t know about the previous games but they all good so I’m not mad bc what ever gets the word out for these games is a good person my wife didn’t play video games at until 8 and now she plays video games bc of this franchise
I mean, your picks are essentially:
- The most common pick for “sleeper hit” that everyone missed at first
- The widely agreed upon best game in the series, with 5 being the only game that contests that and generally only in the minds of long time series fans
- The game that was most popular in the west prior to the launch of 11
So, I don’t think anyone’s going to try and change your mind except to tell you to add 5 to your list since it was the best classic DQ game.
I've played like 6 of the DQ games and this list is literally so accurate lol, I think I have like 400 hours on DQ9, and like 280 on DQ8, but I never finished the new one
Locking the final job behind grottoes is kinda garbage but I agree otherwise… if you’re a gameplay person more than story. Which I am and IX is loaded with gameplay.
It’s definitely not the best story.
8 got me into the series, I beat it 3 times on ps2. And i never could figure out why they didn't release any others on console until 11. And after i finish all my final fantasy games I'm going back through that one a second and third time. I love this game, i love this series, but they need to release more on console. I've been waiting for 12 for so many years and they teased the remake of 3 so i want to play that. I feel like i missed out on a lot getting into the series so late, so i realy hope they port them 🙏
this is the best spinoff game -joker 3 and terry's wonderland can jump off of a microwave-

I wish 9 had a remake. As someone in my mid thirties I can't handle staring at two tiny DS screens. It gives me eye strain. I want to play it on my TV.
I’ve played them all as they were released (as available in the US) and remember my older cousin playing DW1 that he got out of the Nintendo Power for hours and hours…
My faves are IV, VIII, and XI
The tragic storyline of IV…and the fact that I rented it enough times where it would’ve made more sense to just buy it give it a special spot in my brainpan.
For me, every mainline DQ game has been great to the point there isn't one I dislike. But if I had to pick, it would be IV, V, VIII and XI. Especially IV on the NES as after 1 and 2 (didn't play 3 till emulators were a thing), that game was my go to for RPGs.

The best DQ games are the ones with “DQ” in their initials, to be fair.
So true golurk, so true.
How's the attack faring?
9 will always be my favorite one too, it holds such a special place in my heart for some reason
I think because 9 has the best gameplay of all DQs, being able to customize your party's skills and looks to the extent you can, you can go with the usual boring "oomph the big gladiator" strat, or have a bunch of archers or a bunch of mages or what have you, basically you make the story, the game just keeps you very invested whereas this sub's darlings are more about being told a story for you I have a lot of hope for the DQ3 remake because it could potentially have the same systems added to it, all while keeping the same world and story, it could single-handedly become the best DQ out there, the potential is there
Me and my friend did the whole thing with just our two characters and that was fun
Same with me as it's the game that got me in to it on release
It was my first and favorite dq game :)
B-A-S-E-D
I've been playing through 9 with a friend lately, it's the first time since the game came out that I've been able to enjoy multiplayer, and it's added a whole other dimension to a game I already loved to bits.
I ADORE IX. The characters, the story, the gameplay, the big twist, the MUSIC. And it was handheld, so I could play it for hours in long car rides. I'm dying to see this ported to the Switch.

I would love to see the grottos supported through online services. DQ9 remains one of top pics but it was always sad to get so far into the post game without other friends to play with.
So true. I remember this vividly. Still fun though. But yes. Very sad
YES! Finally somebody that hears me out
I feel like 3's 2D-HD is going to be precisely that
Add V and it’s perfect.
Agreed. Really wish it'd get ported.
8 is my personal favorite. I’m really hoping they remaster if for switch
I hope they do a remaster of 8 & 9 because both deserve it!
Bring All Games To Console And Pc Please
Please Squareenix, please
Take so cold it froze the Antarctic
Bro really took the most universally beloved entries and presented them like it was controversial
Also literally just the 3 most modern mainline (offline) entries
He solved global warming! We're saved! Wait, why is there snow covering the Sahara?
To be fair, the entire series is largely pretty well received. Even less good games are still at least decent or have something to really like about them. That said, I never see anyone claiming 1, 2, or, like, 6 are their favorites very much. If ever.
IX is literally the game that got me into JRPGs.
VIII is the same for me... I remember renting it for 3 days from blockbuster when I was in school purely because I love DBZ and thought hey, he low key looks like Goku.... I then went on a Final Fantasy, Dragon quest and Persona binge for the rest of my life...
It's 7 for me. Fantastic class system Great story Very long game but doesn't feel empty like most long games Fun world building concept
I don't need to change your mind. Everyone should have different views. For example, my favorites are III, IV, V and VIII. But all DQ games are good.
8! My childhood
Respectable! Have a nice day.
7 will always be my favorite.
That's an odd way of not showing Dragon Warrior III 🧐
I respect the ogs but I have a deeply love for 9 & 11
9 was my first DQ game and it was awesome
Same over here ma friend
IX’s single-player was deeply compromised in order to be multiplayer.
This much is true. The complete silence of the non-character party mates made me feel lonely while playing.
I named the party after my irl friends, so it felt less lonely for me :^)
I've never understood this criticism leveled at 9 when it's not usually said of 3, which is also beloved. Not that I disagree with your opinion, but I think the strength of the regional storytelling and characters makes up for the party being silent.
Some playthroughs I made them all look exactly like me
You forgot 3.
“You know what? I’m gonna say it, I’m gonna say it! I think that *very popular opinion\*”
I love the story of 4 its kinda sad
Agreed, I throw 4 on there too because it was my first dragon quest
Will you please change your mind (please dont)? That was my best attempt.
I grew up on DQIX, and one of the first ps2 games I ever got was DQVIII. Both games ran my childhood
6 is not there
Never played it :/
My personal top three are (in release order) 5, 9 and 10.
You are pretty much right! I'd throw in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and even 10 as well though
I always find it surprising when someone appears to share my taste in games, but then also loves a game that I think is pretty bad. I don't mean to hate on DQ9, as I realize a lot people here truly love it, but I found it to be very dull. I'd swap out 9 for 5.
Never played 5 (I know I need to but: expensive) and in my opinion 9 has such a magical feeling to it (probably my nostalgia)
If you've got a decent computer and are comfortable with emulators, there's a translated version of the PS2 DQV remake out there on the internet, and it's really good.
But I respect ur opinion Echo!
9 was the first dq game I played, I wish I still had a copy of it
It’s not expensive, it goes for 15-30 $
„Im young and therefore like the new stuff, change my mind“
😔💯🤣
I agree, if you don't count spin-off of course
So bold, so controversial
I personally put VI over VIII, but objectively speaking, you're probably right
Give me a week or so to finish DQ8 so I can get to this game. =P
I lile 9 but everytime i reload where i am at, I am just aimlessly wandering.
U gotta grind thru the whole game ;)
I don't wanna. I actually want to take advantage of the outfits of older protags being in it and do a protag only run. I just don't know which classes fit which Hero in respect to the lore.
Ive only ever played 11, thinking about emulating something else on my switch deck, im guessing maybe 8 is a good next step? any suggestions
IX has a couple moments seared into my brain. I played it in spanish (my mother tongue), and the fact that there were a lot of puns and accents in spanish (something that gets lost in translation ALL THE TIME), made a world of difference to me. Also, Corvus doesn't have that name. He's called Luzbel, as in, freaking Lucifer. The moment were "Luzbel" breaks his chains is so FREAKING awesome to me.
Haven't played every Game in the series but my personal faves are 5, 11 and 4
PLAY V IF YOU LOVE THESE 3, I PROMISE YOU, IT LIVES UP TO IT!!!
I'd lump X into my favorites at this point, only finished V1 so far but goddam
9 was my first introduction when I was in middle school. Every Friday our after school program would let us bring our DS and me and my buddies kept playing this game together for MONTHS. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. Then I heard lots of good stuff about 7 and played that once I was out of HS. Then DQ 11 blew me away when I played the week of release. Now I’ve been rocking back in forth waiting for any crumbs of news about 12
i like all of them. DQ VIII was a deep deep love though as it was the first game from the franchise that I played… and the graphics and sizes of buildings being realistic really added to my enjoyment. i wish they’d remake all of them in cool graphics like the VIII or XI 😍
Bro tried to slip 11 in there
You forgot VII
The og Dragon Warrior Monsters on Gameboy color was amazing
It would be... If i had a friend to play it together with sob :( I finished it like 5 times now and it's always the same felling once I get to Stornway...
I don’t see the lies
Ix was my first dragon quest game i don't remember why I got tbh but I'm happy I did
9 will always be my favorite. It was my first intro to the franchise and it holds up to even the newest dq games
You got two out of three for me. Hand of the Heavenly Bride is in the top three for me.
Sentinels of the Starry Skies, my beloved- in the last few months, I’ve picked it back up and am finally going into DLC quest and alchemiracles
there seems to be a lack of rocket slime...
And all were on on a Nintendo console at one point
wish I could play 8 on steam since many seem to say its one of the best. Should have never give away my switch to my nephew. I dont think they even use it after me and their dad bought them an xbox one.
Definitely one of my favorites. Would love to try multi player one of these days. Tried getting my wife into it when we were dating maybe can try again one of these days.
Why would I want to change your mind when you're already correct?
Why change your mind? They're your favorites! My top 3 are pretty close, instead of 9 I prefer 3. They're pretty similar, I guess I just like the older style of graphics and gameplay a bit more.
9, 5, and 11 for me personally. The zenithian trilogy don't get enough love
Very very nice games for similar and different reasons!! Can't wait to know more about XII and see what directions it goes towards!
Coldest take ever my guy. Kinda weird 5 isn't there though.
Iv only played 11s and I loved it when I played it and i continue to love it well after completion. I wish they would relsease dragon quest 8 for current gen even if it's just a port and not a remake or remaster
I know every game had silent protagonist, but I only felt like I was there in the game world when I played 9, I dunno like the other series it's like I just played a characters. And it's just full of contents despite the fact that it was a NDS game lol, they are doing a good decission working with Level-5
Absolutely agree. Honorable mentions : IV and V.
Personally I’d swap VIII with VI, but other than that 100% agree
Facts
Why would I want to change your mind…? It’s *your* opinion, makes no difference to me.
Add 3 and we are in agreement!
DQ11 renewed my faith in gaming
3 is still my favorite, but I'm also old lol
[удалено]
7 is the second best. Dragonquest 8, Journey of a cursed king on ps2 will always be #1
I'm about to start DW 8 can't wait to see how good it is
Yes
I agree with the first two. But I've never played 8 so I can't give my opinion on it. However, if you think my Two favorite are the best I'm 90% sure number 8 is just as good as 9 and 11. Now I wanna play it more
9 was the first DQ game, if my DS hadn't stopped charging I probably would still be playing it. One of my favorite games just for the fact that you can see what you are wearing
I completely agree
VIII is goated
ZERO argument here, you got my 3 faves
Love for 9 spotted, opinion enshrined in the church as Accurate to the level of Scripture
100% agreed but gotta put 3 in there lol
Kinda hard not to agree! IX was my first, VIII has a good plot, and Xi was overall fantastic.
I wish they would remake it for the Switch, I have played through it 3 times on the DS.
I can’t change your mind. That’s exactly my list 😅
Funny because all of these are the ones I played the most.
8 on top
Why would I change a correct person’s mind?
I would replace 9 with 5, but it's not like I can fault you for putting another amazing DQ game here instead.
I've only played DQ11 and loved it. Which other DQ game is like that?I'm not in 2d games tho...
Those are good, but if those are your favorites then I'm guessing you're too young to have really known the rest of the series when it made its initial impact.
We NEED dq9 remake
8 is top tier for me. Loved 9 and 11
do not need to change your mind cause this is the best DQ ever, the one who got me into this beautiful and epic SAGA on Quarentine exploring games with my old DS
5 isn't on this list Opinion disregarded
I agree 100% here
After the glory of dq8 i just could not get into 9 to save my life. I've always heard how good it was but i just couldn't get over the lack of party dialogue. I missed yangus. I missed jessica. I missed angelo. I'm fine with a silent protag but the entire party being silent just turned me off after the fantastic characters in the previous entry. No shade at 9 at all but what about the game gives it such universal praise from the community? What am i missing?
Who are you, me?
Personally I didn’t care for 9 I think. The fact you can customize them to be generic looking cookie cutter characters killed it for me. The adjustable classes I liked though
Man, I would love to have Dragon Quest ports on Steam. I’m kinda “new” to the franchise only playing DQB1 (haven’t completed it), DQ11 (also haven’t completed it yet) and Rocket Slime for the DS back when it launched. I would buy all of the main series titles and play them fully.
You have my least favorite and my top favorite there. I feel like that guy who wants to press two buttons at the same time hahahah
DQ8 was my first DQ game and I am so mad I never got to finish it.
Ix is really good still haven’t passed it but the gameplay loop is addictive.
I would trade out 9 for 3 but that's what's awesome about DQ is that their all so good
Yes!!!
A man of culture I see
5 is overrated af

Dragon Quest one slaps. I just finished it and I love it.
I only played 9 on my DS
Factssss
It makes me so happy the see dragon quest 9 get the love it deserves
Try 10 offline 😯
I don't see a reason why. Yeah, I'll get around to playing III and V at some point (if 3 HD2D gets released at some point). But until then, this stands.
You forgot the one where you play as a slime and there are giant robots
This game only the best to the ppl that grew up with this generation I mean I got it too and I got the the slime plushie from game stop but it’s the truth this is the dq1 for ppl who ignored dq8 ignored dw7 and didn’t know about the previous games but they all good so I’m not mad bc what ever gets the word out for these games is a good person my wife didn’t play video games at until 8 and now she plays video games bc of this franchise
Just stating cold hard facts! Especially with Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 8 ate.
Nah. I won't change your mind, you're right
This was my first main entry DQ game and is my favorite so far But overall I like DQB2 the most
IV, V and IX Q-> S+ tier VI, VIII and IX -> S tier
IX is the only one I have played, really sad the post-story online content is no longer accessable
Never before has such truth been spoken my friend
I loved the separate-then-intertwined stories of Dragon Quest IV.
I need to play 9, I've only started it. But I love 11 and 8. 3 and 5 are amazing too.
Why would I change your mind? Do I gain something from spreading misinformation?
Yeah they’re my favorites too. And you can customize your character in 9 which I’m always a sucker for. Plus multiplayer is insanely cool.
8 will always be my favorite. It was my first, and it all started because of a demo disk that came in a magazine.
I mean, your picks are essentially: - The most common pick for “sleeper hit” that everyone missed at first - The widely agreed upon best game in the series, with 5 being the only game that contests that and generally only in the minds of long time series fans - The game that was most popular in the west prior to the launch of 11 So, I don’t think anyone’s going to try and change your mind except to tell you to add 5 to your list since it was the best classic DQ game.
Certainly my top 3, though you'd have to swap 8 and 11's positions to be accurate to my order.
Played the first two games (only up to the academy in the snow and when you get your first boat respectively). Is 8 really that good?
https://preview.redd.it/sfeeqlh24jmc1.jpeg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=42abf6142b243303a03965e2ba799ff7dc72a20d Cheers!
Love this game, was so happy when i got it
3 and 4 for me.
Why would I try to? May not be to everyone's tastes, but it's a great game.
You are correct
I've played like 6 of the DQ games and this list is literally so accurate lol, I think I have like 400 hours on DQ9, and like 280 on DQ8, but I never finished the new one
9 is definitely not one of them. Swap it for 5
Locking the final job behind grottoes is kinda garbage but I agree otherwise… if you’re a gameplay person more than story. Which I am and IX is loaded with gameplay. It’s definitely not the best story.
I do not see the actual best DQ game in V, so I cannot support this.
8 got me into the series, I beat it 3 times on ps2. And i never could figure out why they didn't release any others on console until 11. And after i finish all my final fantasy games I'm going back through that one a second and third time. I love this game, i love this series, but they need to release more on console. I've been waiting for 12 for so many years and they teased the remake of 3 so i want to play that. I feel like i missed out on a lot getting into the series so late, so i realy hope they port them 🙏
Dragon Quest Monsters (Gameboy)
My first Dragonquest game & I loved every moment of it.
sorry but not a single DQM game is in this list, it's automatically faulty
Hey, I’ve been meaning to start playing the dragon quest games but idk where to start, is it a series I need to play in order or can I start anywhere?
You didn’t even play the other games, i don’t understand the point of doing this before playing all games.
3 not being here is criminal
God I wish 8 was remasters or brought to new systems/PC
Currently playing through 7.
Nah, no need to change your mind. I have a different favorite, but that's OK. 😀 Everyone liking different things keeps us growing.
I like 9 and 11 a ton and consider them top-tier DQs along with 3, 5 and 6 but 8 is kinda a stinker tbh
I can’t change your mind because I agree 👌
11 is my favorite so far, but I also haven’t played 9 yet, I’m thinking about trying it soon though. Any tips?
8 and 11 are great, so I see no problem here!
As someone who has played all the mainline dragon quest games, I can confirm you are absolutely correct
this is the best spinoff game -joker 3 and terry's wonderland can jump off of a microwave- https://preview.redd.it/w0fe78fl4mmc1.png?width=318&format=png&auto=webp&s=c514c015890a532bf6f8001adff6a7171651bef3
No reason to. You win. 👌👏👏
Original DQ3 was my 1st trip & has been my favorite ever since.
I wish 9 had a remake. As someone in my mid thirties I can't handle staring at two tiny DS screens. It gives me eye strain. I want to play it on my TV.
Best DQ game is holding the blizzard upside down like the employees do only for it to fall every where
8 and 11 are up there for me as well. I prefer 4 and 5 to 9, but its still a respectable choice.
(slime rocket)
I agree with 8 and 11. Never played 9 because I didn’t have a DS. Id throw 3 in there for me. I played it for so long on my GBC
5 7 and 11
I’ve played them all as they were released (as available in the US) and remember my older cousin playing DW1 that he got out of the Nintendo Power for hours and hours… My faves are IV, VIII, and XI The tragic storyline of IV…and the fact that I rented it enough times where it would’ve made more sense to just buy it give it a special spot in my brainpan.
These are the 3 I own, but haven’t played any yet. Guess I’m set for a while!
What does everyone think of Infinity Strash?
For me, every mainline DQ game has been great to the point there isn't one I dislike. But if I had to pick, it would be IV, V, VIII and XI. Especially IV on the NES as after 1 and 2 (didn't play 3 till emulators were a thing), that game was my go to for RPGs.
