i used to play a game from this series on my ds like 4 years ago but i cant remember the name, you recruited these monsters , but you combined them or something to make bigger better monsters........ please reply and help me play this epic series again
Quicksaves are great but the lack of them added to the difficulties of RPGs back in the day. You didn't want to save every second because it took so damn long but when you didn't the risk of death and wasting 20-30 mins was there.
Can any Dragon Quest buff recommend me a game to start with in this series? I'm not very familiar with Japanese RPG games, but looking to get into them... so it'd be good if it isn't too complex and doesn't reference other games too much I guess!
for some reason, i think of bulma from dragon ball, looking like the blue haired girl from dragon quest 5 and some of the char from dragon quest and ball, look similar
No IGN or Gamespot video review? For shame. Great review, especially for the praises for the quick-save feature, which should be the standard for all RPG games on handhelds.
you must read this. once you have started there is no turning back. a little 10 year old girl was raped and murderded in 1945. her body was not found until 1947. then a boy last week read this and did not copy and paste this message. the dead girl appeared in his room haunting him and killed him. if you do not copy and paste this onto 10 videos in 30 minutes the dead girl will apear in your room tonight and haunt you and kill you. well you better start to copy and paste
Hey so you like Torneko, you gotta check "Torneko: The Last Hope" on the PS1, it's a spin-off title of the Dragon Quest series, it was released in US November 2000, easy game but very very funny to enjoy :)
Super helpful and enjoyable review video. Thanks a ton! I just found out about the DS Dragon Quest IV, and was wondering if it was worth getting. Totally gonna go out and buy it now!
You probably already know this but... There is a fan translation of the DQ5 remake on the PS2. If you haven't played it, check it out! They did an awesome job.
I love this game to death. Can anyone recommend a similar rpg for the ds? I love these rpg's with turn based battles and level grinding. Let me know people
Why get bullied for a game? Seriously what the fuck is wrong with people? I can understand if you were a guy and bought like a barbie game but not dragon quest
Anyone think this was the basis for Mother 3? Playing through the different chapters, completing that person's role, and in the end come together ( Lucas, Duster, Kumatora, and Boney) to defeat the main evil ( Porky)?
A lot of fond memories of this game. The NES version was the first RPG I ever beat. Also, Taloon was my favorite character, too.
Tip: Buy Swords of Malice while running the store and refuse to sell them. Save one for yourself and possibly even one for the Hero in the final chapter. I don't know about this remake, but in the original you don't get to keep the gold you earn as Taloon, but you could keep his items, equipped or not.
@redbuck82 it pretty much is like FF different storys but with dragon warrior you have alot of reaccuring atributes and features, like music, monsters and sounds. the only dragon quest i ever made it through was the very first one for nes. played a little bit of 2 -4. and my brother had either 7 or 8 for the ps1(wich was an amazing game btw) and i just got dq9 for my ds wich is awesome and im not lost. so dont hesitate to pick up a random dragon quest number and go with it. hope that helps.
@redbuck82 nah not really a certain order i started out with dq8 for ps2 and it was great and so far ive played 4 and 5 for ds both great games. totally different stories although 4 and 5 there are some smilarities such as getting the zenithian armour and same zenith dragon but still great game series.
I just started playing it - and I've never played any DQ games before, so this is my first one - and two things struck me: How much Golden Sun resembles this, and how the touch screen is completely useless.
This game is great, it got me into loving Dragon Quest and giving a second and enjoyable opportunity to DQ8. I think I'll try and buy DQ5 second hand from a friend, it's said to be the best of the classic DQs.
I prefer the old-school rpgs over the cinematic, linear ones that come out now-a-days. I'm looking forward to the NA release of DQ9 and the unveiling of DQX.
kids being bullied coz of a video game i could understand this game kicks ass!
kind of odd dragon quest 4 is called dragon quest chapters of the chosen on the Europe release its weird its doesnt have the "4" there hmm oh well its awesome
I remember a friend of mine renting this game back on the NES from none other than a supermarket chain. The rentals were 2 weeks long and we played this thing day and night during a summer vacation. He lucked out because some disgruntled employee burned the store down by secretly lacing all kinds of products with lighter fluid. It was like 3 months planning for this guy to burn it. Awesome ass game too. The DS brought so many fond memories of this game to me.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I mean you guys can't tell me it was fun playing Taloon (or Torneko in the jap version) in that 3rd chapter wasting your life on the crazy amount of grinding. its not even fun grinding, you just just get bored and frustrated (like why am I playing this game when I got oblivion in my 360 right now).
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't understand why so many people like this game. I could understand people going crazy for it 20 years ago or whenever it came out for the nes but wow was this game boring especially since I was playing GTA chinatown wars and Elder scrolls oblivion before I picked this game up and wow I felt like I wasted too much time on this.Life is too short man.
How'a dragon warrior 7? I got it from a friend but haven't really tried it however the last game of the series I played was the 1st one and a little bit of the roms for the othe three.
It's my personal favorite in the series, and it's also the longest (my last save file was over 100 hours...). Think of the episodic nature of Dragon Quest stories, but ramped to the max--it's all about uncovering the world. Literally!
Interesting how the DQ series was so popular in Japan but here it was FF that became the dominant series. Even though we got all the early DQs but not the later ones, but we were shafted on early FF games.
the reason we never got DQ5 and 6 is because enix of america closed their office in usa so no one could localize them. luckily they returned and we got some classics like star ocean 2, valkyrie profile and one of my personal faves, dragon warrior 7
yes but they werent released outsie of japan. theres dragon quest 5 and 6, as well as a remake of 1+2 on the same cart and then a remake for 3. you can find them on the internet if you look and play them.
You may also find them in local "re-use" shop located all over Japan. I found DQ I-VI on the SFC (SNES) w/box and manuals. Overall I paid about 50 for all 6 of them. If you can't get them that way, try searching the internet or maybe making some online pen-pals or so. The internet is a great tool to find such classic gems.
The thing I disliked about 4 was that you had to use the AI to control your chars after you formed the party. I dunno if its still like that on the DS version. DW3 however remains one of my fav games of all time.
I've been playing rpgs since I was 6 and one of the first things I remember to do is (like every rpg gamer on the planet) visit the weapon store and no matter what the game there would always be a weapon's store.
But to actually play as the person selling the weapons? That made my head spin I thought that was original and very cool.
I held out for a while before setting off.
I've never played his dungeon games, are they any good?
I was shocked when I found out about the chapter system and thats why I loved it.
It gave backgounds for all characters thus making them all memorable.
The weirdest thing about this game and I think its the first time it's happened in RPG history. Is that this game was released in Australia 5 days before the U.S. Now here in Australia we have to wait 6 - 9 months for the local release.
I thought I was going to have to import it, didn't need to.
Unfortunately, two big flaws on the US release completely pushed me away. The first being the translation. For whatever reason, recent DQ games have been getting all sorts of ridiculous accents written in that make it hard to understand some characters. Then you have the bizarrely missing team chat.
In the Japanese version, the characters could speak with eachother through out the whole game. The option was left in and the dialogue was translated, but it was missing in the English releases.
It didn't come to America because the company that was in charge of all the remakes of Dragon Warrior/Quest went under in the U.S. And since no other publishing company was as knowledgeable about the series, it was never ported to the PSX in the U.S.
Half tempted to grab a DS lite, this game, DQ5, and FF4. I enlisted and was thinking it would be nice to have some portable RPGs to take with me. An upgrade for my GBA SP.
WOrth it? Good idea? I love RPGs more than any other genre by far, have for a couple decades.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuck that, i got the game and its fucking horrible and frustrating. It pissed me off so much that I damaged my DS lite irreparably... now i'll have to buy a dsi :(
the difficulty spikes are horrendous, in fact, one of the first few dungeons has a single random encounter that will RAPE ALL YOUR CHARACTERS WITH A CHAINSAW so you have to get lucky and not encounter that enemy. save points are far between and quicksave is NOT reliable. Only recommended to people who don't mind obsessive grinding
yeah i was always really interested in DQ5 because i was in love with the story line, but im thinking of picking up DQ4 for the DS, but i dont want to be dissappointed, does the jumping in between the different characters stories get annoying? please answer.
I really want to play DQ4 now but ive just started Phantasy Star (based on your videos) and ive got FF4 and Lost Odyyssy on the go. As soon as Phantasy Star and FF4 (since im playing both on DS, one being emulated) ill play DQ4 on DS once those are done.
And im loving your videos, it really comes across how much you love these games and makes it more appealing for me to give these games a fair shot, which I missed due to age and my tastes (I never really got into RPG's until I was 14, in 2004).
Top review! This game will suck you in BIG TIME. Heck, I'm even taking a hiatus from playing DQ: Journey Of The Cursed King (PS2 version - great game as well) just so I can fully focus on this title. My verdict (if anyone is interested, lol) : BUY IT!
please help i got this game two days ago and i am at that fat dude chapter and the only thing i can do is serve wepows and thier something like this brige like i went to this caslte and the price dude gave me this letter to deliver to Endor but the brige is brock and like when i talk to the king he always says something like were is Teco Arch whetever his name is but pleas help me somebody reply as so as posible
great review, you just sold me on getting the game. i still have my original DW 1,2 and 3 carts and really regret not playing the others, but now im getting the game
Nice review, dude. And as for this game... I am dying so freakin' badly to play this you wouldn't believe it! Ha ha, but yeah. Even tho' I'm still on GTA: Chinatown Wars (btw, awesome ass game), I still can't wait to play this, DQV and Chrono Trigger...
I played the one that was released in the US. It's rather addicting, that I thought was just too hard. Word of advise, spend a whole day completing the dungeon instead of saving in the dungeon, or you might regret it. And also, the Mage Dungeon was a complete fail with the randomness of the spells you learned as you went up in level. Overall, still a fantastic game.
DWIII was my favorite. I think the "class changing" at the shrine was a really awesome feature. I also loved the dose of nostalgia at the end with the "World of Darkness", and it was cool to find out who you were playing as the entire time. I won't elaborate so as not to spoil it.
I hope they decide to remake dragon warrior III as well. However, I think that dragon warrior iv is not only the best dragon quest game, but the greatest video game of all time!!!
i used to play a game from this series on my ds like 4 years ago but i cant remember the name, you recruited these monsters , but you combined them or something to make bigger better monsters........ please reply and help me play this epic series again

I've never played his dungeon games, are they any good?

DQ IV is one of my favorite DS games.
I was shocked when I found out about the chapter system and thats why I loved it.
It gave backgounds for all characters thus making them all memorable.
The weirdest thing about this game and I think its the first time it's happened in RPG history. Is that this game was released in Australia 5 days before the U.S. Now here in Australia we have to wait 6 - 9 months for the local release.
I thought I was going to have to import it, didn't need to.
GeeMac32bit 2 years ago
We have the same problem in Europe,. They always release the games months later than US!
GeoPoxie 2 years ago
Unfortunately, two big flaws on the US release completely pushed me away. The first being the translation. For whatever reason, recent DQ games have been getting all sorts of ridiculous accents written in that make it hard to understand some characters. Then you have the bizarrely missing team chat.
In the Japanese version, the characters could speak with eachother through out the whole game. The option was left in and the dialogue was translated, but it was missing in the English releases.

Cool concept for a game. I don't know if I could play such a sweeping epic game on a little hand held though.

I went on wikipedia and it said it was remade for the ps1. Check their.
TheNoseyKid 2 years ago
It was remade for playstation but i'm not sure if it came to America or not.
TheNoseyKid 2 years ago
It didn't come to America because the company that was in charge of all the remakes of Dragon Warrior/Quest went under in the U.S. And since no other publishing company was as knowledgeable about the series, it was never ported to the PSX in the U.S.

Half tempted to grab a DS lite, this game, DQ5, and FF4. I enlisted and was thinking it would be nice to have some portable RPGs to take with me. An upgrade for my GBA SP.
WOrth it? Good idea? I love RPGs more than any other genre by far, have for a couple decades.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
fuck that, i got the game and its fucking horrible and frustrating. It pissed me off so much that I damaged my DS lite irreparably... now i'll have to buy a dsi :(
the difficulty spikes are horrendous, in fact, one of the first few dungeons has a single random encounter that will RAPE ALL YOUR CHARACTERS WITH A CHAINSAW so you have to get lucky and not encounter that enemy. save points are far between and quicksave is NOT reliable. Only recommended to people who don't mind obsessive grinding

yeah i was always really interested in DQ5 because i was in love with the story line, but im thinking of picking up DQ4 for the DS, but i dont want to be dissappointed, does the jumping in between the different characters stories get annoying? please answer.

Do you have a DSi?
Please answer:)
Nintendude4life 2 years ago
I really want to play DQ4 now but ive just started Phantasy Star (based on your videos) and ive got FF4 and Lost Odyyssy on the go. As soon as Phantasy Star and FF4 (since im playing both on DS, one being emulated) ill play DQ4 on DS once those are done.
And im loving your videos, it really comes across how much you love these games and makes it more appealing for me to give these games a fair shot, which I missed due to age and my tastes (I never really got into RPG's until I was 14, in 2004).

Didn't they release Dragon Quest IV in Japan for the PlayStation 1? I'm pretty sure a friend of mine got a copy of that.
GeronWhatsUp 2 years ago
Yeah but an English version was supposed to come out. I guess Enix cancelled it due to poor NA sales of DW7.
Nintega 2 years ago
Naw, it got cancelled because the coding issues and the company they worked with to code it (Heartbeat) quit.

Top review! This game will suck you in BIG TIME. Heck, I'm even taking a hiatus from playing DQ: Journey Of The Cursed King (PS2 version - great game as well) just so I can fully focus on this title. My verdict (if anyone is interested, lol) : BUY IT!

I knew you were going to say that Torneko was your favorite, haha. did you ever play the Mysterious Dungeon game?
joshyy 3 years ago
I played the one that was released in the US. It's rather addicting, that I thought was just too hard. Word of advise, spend a whole day completing the dungeon instead of saving in the dungeon, or you might regret it. And also, the Mage Dungeon was a complete fail with the randomness of the spells you learned as you went up in level. Overall, still a fantastic game.

DWIII was my favorite. I think the "class changing" at the shrine was a really awesome feature. I also loved the dose of nostalgia at the end with the "World of Darkness", and it was cool to find out who you were playing as the entire time. I won't elaborate so as not to spoil it.
It ranks 11'th on my all-time RPG list.
