One of my absolute favorite NES games growing up, hell yeah. And yes, playing 1 and 2 are useful if you want 3 to have its full impact. (DW3 is incidentally one of my favorites for the GBC) Gonna be streaming a few of these games myself soon, but in the meantime I'll have to keep an eye out in here!

ultrafilter posted:I'm less familiar with the early Dragon Quest series and the RPG world around it than I am the early Final Fantasy games, but my understanding is that it was pretty far ahead of everything else out there at the time. IIRC, it was the first of its kind, at least on this scale. The only stuff that came before it was like... Ultima. The game is also not quite as blatant of a D&D ripoff as Final Fantasy I ended up being, which is nice.

FrankZP posted:My train of thought went something like, "I want to play 3, but then I'd have to play 1 and 2, and that's a lotta work, I should just do 4, it's standalone, but 1 is short and 2 only gets obnoxious towards the end, okay fine cripes I get it, 1 to 3, mmmmmmaybe 4, man how do I keep falling for this". 1-3 form a pretty tight trilogy, while 4-6 are a very loosely connected set. As in, as far as I know, the only real connection (originally) is a location that appears in all three games, and the characters within. In the DS remakes, they tweak the script so that each game explicitly takes place after the previous one. I prefer 5 to 4 by a small amount, and 6... I'm just having a hard time getting into at all, to be honest.

Blaze Dragon posted:By that reasoning, Dragon Quest is a Shin Megami Tensei subfranchise. Give me a Jack Bros. / Rocket Slime crossover and I'll be a happy lad.

Patter Song posted:I played the GBC Dragon Warrior I and II game, and somehow managed to beat both, despite Dragon Quest II's insane difficulty. DQ1 is mercifully short, but DQ2...is ball-bustingly difficult and not terribly fun. I don't know that I ever actually finished DQ II for the GBC... I remember it being asinine-hard at the very end (and generally throughout), though. III is just a trillion times better in every way.

Shitenshi posted:I thought I was the only one. I even felt bad deciding to finally use a cursed weapon to take down a tough boss in DQIV. Never happened to me with Dragon Quest, but it DID happen to my copy of Shining Force: The Sword of Hajya and nine-year old me freaked, dropped the Game Gear on my bed and ran out of the room. Not my proudest moment.
