You sayin' I like dubs?!?

and I'll be the first dude to say I don't like jrpgs. But I do like dragon quest.

how can you not like jrpgs but like dragon quest, the most "jrpg" jrpg to ever exist

it literally invented the genre (that and japanese made wizardry sequels, but the only difference dragon quest has from one of those is art by the dude that made dragon ball)

if you think you need to grind then it means youre bad

i didn't say you need to grind, I said all that matters is your numbers vs the enemy. keep your numbers up and make the enemies numbers go down, make sure you have enough numbers to buy enough potions that you don't run out. that's the gameplay of dragon quest, that and watching cutscenes or walking down endless fields/hallways

I like getting my balls twisted and going OH poo poo OH poo poo and it's the only jrpg besides SMT and EO to do that.

I like it when games grab your balls and just grip. I'm using CBT as a metaphor for difficulty.

anyway it's because ethe combat is so goddamn random that sometimes you just get hosed through no fault of your own and trying to adapt just sets off panic alarms in my head because all your escape options have a chance to fail. It's fun.

i remember in dq7 there was this really hard boss that kept summoning some really powerful dudes faster than you could kill him. i was stuck until i figured out the normally useless shepherd could just sleep them forever. felt pretty good about that as a kid

grinding is really only kinda needed in 1 and 2 anyway, and if you want the best items and stuff always grind metal slimes, imo, which is a game in itself

the final story boss in VI was really hard and required preplanned class unlocks and shiznit.

personally I never minded "grinding" I was just saying it's not as needed as most people assume, I think that the secret boss in 8 was the most I grinded

While I don't normally agree with or respect darealkooky's opinions, I must say I'm not terribly fond of the Dragon Quest series, but I am however quite glad others are capable of gleaming such enjoyment from it

dragon quest 4 is literally the only jrpg that was able to or even had the possibility to pull off cliffhangers, thanks to the chapter structure

it's kewl just due to that alone

You guys pick the male or female main character? I chose the heroine for my playthrough because I am one of those weird guys that likes to play as female in RPGs when given the choice, which may be indicative of secret vagina envy.
