I started playing dq8 for 3ds last week, and while I’m just level 7, the game has been really fun.

It is a really charming series. I’ve played dq11 pretty far, but I did not complete it. It’s just a long game.

I think I like the lightheartedness of it. The art style is cute and the dialog does not take itself too seriously.

What are your thoughts on the dragon quest series? What should I play after I finish 8?

What are your thoughts on dq 7 and 9? I know 7 was just remade, but i have a 3ds, so I was considering that version.

I can't remember them. Doesn't mean they are good or bad, just didn't stick with me like 8 did.

Well, I guess I have plenty of time until I finish 8 before I consider playing another game in the series.

I could seriously consider adding dq11 back into my Steam wishlist. (My wife took control of my switch) 😂

I adore XI and highly recommend picking it up next time it drops to $20 on steam. My daughter is playing it now and I’ve been really enjoying watching her get into it, knowing what happens later to all the characters she’s meeting now in the early game.

Yeah, I will totally do that. I have about that much in steam credit anyway and it’s such a good game it’s totally worth the money tbh.
