(I think we should remake this list. I get the feeling it's all pretty subjective. Would anyone be willing to discuss this?)
I - SNES with fan translation or iOS/Android
II - SNES with fan translation or iOS/Android
III - SNES with fan translation or GBC (SNES is better overall, GBC has a couple more extras.)
IV - DS or or iOS/Android (Mobile version has Party Chat restored, is otherwise identical to DS version.)
V - DS or PS2 with fan translation (DS has an additional waifu to marry, PS2 has better graphics.)
VI - DS
VII - PS1 or 3DS version (PS1 is longer and harder while 3DS is a little bit shorter and easier but is a better experience overall)
VIII - PS2 (Mobile version is gutted, 3DS version is coming sometime in 2017)
IX - DS (Needs to be hacked to get locked content because the online servers are down forever)
X - On pretty much everything (no plans yet for a western release)
Couldn't find a recent general, so copied and rewrote what I could from an older one.
With regards to the recommendations, what are your favourite versions of each DQ game? Or is the current one alright?
>implying this will last
it's been tried before. that's why we're in /vr/
Its only me and you here OP

Dragon Quest VIII is coming out in a month on 3DS and yet you'll probably get banned on /vr/ if you try to discuss it there. That's why we HAVE to move.
Also, I'm here now.
>>162175969
This. Don't fucking play the iOS/Android games. Any mobile remake that Square Enix puts out is sure to be absolute shit. That's just a general rule of thumb.
>>162176039
There has been literally boatloads of discussion about VIII in /vr/ and nothing has happened.
>>162176235
No, a whole discussion on VIII was deleted in a thread a couple months back.
I know because some of my posts were deleted as well.
>>162176436
As I recall, a bunch of porn was deleted.
>>162176558
That may have been a separate incident, because my posts that got deleted were actual discussion about the remake.
Point is, you're going to have one fag who always posts >>>/vg/ at the start of every thread and people are hesitant to discuss newer Dragon Quest games there. It makes sense to move.
This thred is gonna be ded.
>>162177117
Doing fine so far boi
now taking bets
how long will the thread last?
minimum bets start at 100 posts
>>162174827
Let me fix this shit:
I - SNES with fan translation
II - SNES with fan translation
III - SNES with fan translation. Fuck the GBC version, the extra stuff they add is terrible.
IV - DS. Sorry, but if you don't know Japanese, this is your best option. Otherwise, Japanese DS.
V - PS2 with fan translation. Choose DS if you really want Deborah.
VI - DS
VII - 3DS version. Purists will say PS1, but fuck them.
VIII - Wait until 3DS version.
IX - DS (Needs to be hacked to get locked content because the online servers are down forever)
X - You will never ever be able to play this if you don't know Japanese. Give up.
Of course, if you know Japanese or are learning it, you should absolutely just play the original Japanese versions instead so you don't have to deal with shitty localizations.

You could contribute to the thread instead of "Oh, it's going to fail!" Nobody has even attempted to make one of these threads on here for months.
I vote we make JRPG general and move there.
>>162178789
That makes a lot of sense, but have fun getting /smtg/ or /ffg/ or any others to move over.
