Dragon Quest

Dont play 8

you have to grind for a fucking boss(which you never had to do before that point) about 25 hours in when the story finally gets good and its fucking dumb

Start with 1.

3, 5, and 8 are considered the best. All of them can be played stand-alone.

1-3 and 4-6 are trilogies but can still be played stand-alone.

1 should be played before 2 or 3, especially before 3.

Which versions are considered the best for 3,5, and 8? I have a PS2, a 3DS, and a PC capable of emulating basically anything. I know I won't have time for all of them, but if they can be played stand-alone I can probably do those 3.

You should probably emulate the ps2 version of dq8

3 - snes
5 - snes, ps2, and DS are all good
8 - ps2 has better graphics and orchestral music, 3ds has more content

Apparently the mobile versions of some of the games are best but I don't really touch mobile games so I can't really say.

I started with IV and now I'm working on V. IV has different protagonists for for each chapter and they all take place seperately from each other while building up the main antagonist until the final chapter. I personally think that was cool as fuck for an rpg and wish more did it.

The thing about Dragon Quest is you've probably already played one without realizing because every jrpg took something from it and it may or may not turn you off because it will seem like a stereotypical jrpg.

I recommend you start with 2, 6, 7, or 9. Those are generally considered the best in the series.
