Played a bit of VIII 3ds tonight. This series is pure magic (save for Sugyama, there is no magic here, just sadness). Can't wait for XI news.

This is a legit concern aha, I honestly don't mind when it comes out but I want to know at least.
It'll take me ten hours to remember my password. God I hate nico nico.
Yeah I want to know, I also want time to play it.
What the !?
Music is a big part of DQ series' charm.

Sugiyama is a Nanking massacre denier (aka denies mass raping and mass murder of women by Japanese troops during WW II)
But what if I want to watch in not terrible quality without text flying all over the screen.
It would be amazing if this had as munch content as DQ9
That's sentinels of the starry sky right? That game was freaking awesome one of my most favorite ds games. Game was huge and took me quite some hours before i beat it

He has real shitty views. Basically the Japanese equivalent of a holocaust denier.

Well that and his crazy hangups regarding music.
I have to wonder if, like the FFXV conference a couple months ago, we'll get a DQXI character or map for the new Itadaki Street in this conference (Yeah I just started playing the PS2 game, so it's hot on my mind right now)
Oh wow, now that's a garbage person....

I plan to play Zelda all night long so I might be here, but I don't really care about Dragon Quest to be honest.
Having played five different games in the series, I have finally accepted the fact that Dragon Quest is a random 7/10 JRPG franchise with nothing really special about it. A Tales Of tea.
Granted, I have only played the "not so epic" entries, and apparently DQ8 is the best one so far, so I'm willing to get the 3DS remake eventually. DQ11 looks like a glorified version of that game too, who knows.
(eeeeekkkk, am I giving DQ yet another chance?)

Tales Of peaked higher than Dragon Quest from my experience.
Dragon Quest has yet to serve Symphonia realness. I hear Vesperia is pretty awesome too.

Which games have you played in the series?

3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Am I the only one who isn't that big a fan of Dragon Quest music? I mean it's iconic and instantly recognizable, but I just don't think it's particularly good. It's not bad either, but it's just there like many other soundtracks but with added familiarity. The only DQ theme I remember really liking is Fly to the Heavens from Dragon Quest VIII and the odd theme from DQV that I can't recall the name of

That's the feel of going on live concert, minus some people's smell and sweat and holy shit he stomp on my foot again!
I like it but can also see what you're saying. Fits the more subdued nature of the series quite well.
Is someone forcing you to play on release ?
At least the Tales composers don't use the money they earn from soundtrack royalties to take out ads telling people that Japanese war crimes are fabricated for political purposes.
TIL that Dragon Quests 3/4/5/7 are not epic.
But yeah, I'd say the series is not for everyone, which is totally fine. They're not as flashy, but I love the traditional fighting, challenge, monsters, and soundtracks.
Yeah, definitely can't agree that DQ is mediocre (yikes at that Tales of comparison) nor that the music isn't memorable. DQ is my favorite game franchise of all time. Sugiyama is clearly not a good person and nationalistic to an unhealthy degree. Erasing victims and rewriting history is abhorrent. However, DQ music is magical for me and an important part of my childhood and adolescence. I recognize that his abysmal beliefs sour the music for some, but the music, not the man, remain very important to me.

So the best ones and you found none "epic"... No helping you sir
You will never like Dragon Quest unless it changes drastically for some reason. You have played all the best games except 8.
I think they're okay but the soundtracks are far too short for such lengthy games. DQVII especially, the game goes on forever but still has too few songs, about half that of the average RPG.

Dragon Quest has the best music in gaming lol.
That said, none of the games come close to eclipsing Sugiyama's best work. Space Runaway Ideon.

I've seen propaganda from anime/JRPG fans on twitter that would make this composer blush tbh.
