I always liked the first best. Every DQ game after that hasn't really lived up to the feelings I had playing numero uno.

The problem with some of the later DW/DQ gamnes is that with 2 and 3 I was cheesed at my guys constantly wiffing attacks because their target was dead and gone. didn't play another until I bought Dragon Quarter for the PS2, which while it had some improvements over the older sequels, I hated how even after hours of grinding, you still were really too weak to take on more than a few battles. (especially since healing items were absolutely scarce, and there weren't any Inns whatsoever.)

I have to say my favorite was DQVII. Though VIII and Rocket Slime are close seconds.

I second the nomination of the first DW game. There was just something so great about it, playing through as a kid. It was a very unforgiving game for myself at age six. I love looking back at the game now, and realizing it was just a Japanese RPG with an American font and dialog tacked over it to make it more appealing to the DnD-types.

Dragon Quest VIII is by far the best!

I also have to go with the first Dragon Warrior. I got it through Nintendo Power and loved it. It is one of the games that got me hooked on RPGs.

Dragon Quest IV has always been my hands down favorite. The Chapter system with the varied characters definitely was the right way to go. Taloon being my favorite chapter, it was so different than other RPG's, then and Now. Dragon Quest I would be a close second, an actual Hard game and it didn't pull any punches or apologize for it, like so many games now. I think we all remember how friggin long it took to get the money to buy the Flame Sword and Silver Shield, and how much of a difference they made in Dragon Lord's Castle.

The first was my favorite. I remember getting my copy as a reward for subscribing to Nintendo Power. Several of my friends didn't believe me when I told them I had finished the game, so I hooked my NES up to my VCR and recorded the final boss fight. I still have that tape somewhere.

I only played the first one and the eighth one and i liked them both a lot, but I got to go with the first one because it was a lot of fun for me when I was younger.

I'd have to say Dragon Warrior 4. I loved the story and the way that they introduced the characters through the individual chapters.

Dragon Warrior 3 is a close second, though.

Never played a dragon quest game yet. I thought about buying it a couple days ago but went with brawl instead. I am a huge RPG fan though and would really appreciate a chance to play this series.

The original copy I got with a Nintendo Power subscription when I was a kid. Free Dragon Warrior can't be beat!

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker

I love subtitles. But seriously, it's a great game that didn't get the credit it deserved.

Its tough to choose the best, but I would have to say Dragon Warrior 3 is the best. It was a great conclusion/prequel to the Loto trilogy and it was awesome to find out that the whole time you were playing as Loto himself.

I'd have to say Dragon Quest Swords is my favorite because I've never played any of the games, and I were to play any this would be my first.

Seeing as the only one I have played is DQ VIII I will have to say that one.

Hands down, Dragon Quest V. Out of all the DQ games, it has the deepest story IMO.

Original Dragon Warrior, of course. Where would we be without it?
IN A WORLD WITHOUT CRPGs, THAT'S WHERE. Well, at least a world without Dragon Quest, but that's bad enough.

The first Dragon Warrior on the NES stands out the most to me, it was the first true RPG I ever played, and it's made me a fantasy junkie for going on 20 years now.

Although I enjoyed the first one, I'd have to say DQM: Joker is hands down my favorite. I played it for over 60 hours just leveling up monsters, it was fun.
