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?
DQ8 is the only Dragon Quest game I’ve played and I enjoyed it a lot. The art direction, the music, everything about it just has this whimsical, pleasant quality that few games achieve. I’ve heard Dragon Quest XI is a good spiritual successor, but haven’t tried it myself.
