  • I've got 9 and 6, love them both! So much to do in 9, with 6 being a challenge along with the fun monster party members

  • I don't like how you can't see your characters in combat like you can in DQ IX.

  • One of my fav RPGs. Suck it Skryim.

  • @asnlunatic i know right

    im tired of skrim getting all these awards

  • My favorite of all of them!

  • @LjinkBoy 2nd fave behind Dq 8

  • @TheSoraroxasaxel Yeah, 8 was fantastic! How'd I forget? I still play it

  • Should i get this?

  • @RobotBoy2021 Yes, it's a fantastic game.

  • This games been fantastic so far, it blew my mind when I first played it and it's done it again.

  • I'm getting a Nitendo DS Lite, Dragon Quest IX and Dragon Quest V this Christmas. I won't be bored.

  • This is a pretty hard game to get cheap now, but that is to be expected with dragon quest games.

  • @bushicheeno Amazon has it in stock for $40.

  • I need to get this! I love the series. I was so impressed with Realms of Revelations and Sentinels of the Starry Skies.

  • Good review but sloooooooooow doooooooooooown.

  • I've been going through a JRPG renaissance and I'm loving every minute of it. I was either not alive or an infant when these games came out and now I'm playing them all on DS. DQ 4 and 5, FF4, and Chrono Trigger, as well as new one that feel like older classics such as DQ9 (the graphics make it new, but the gameplay is still the same) and Valkyrie Profile: Covenant of the Plume. I'm so glad the DS exists, oh the catching up I've done with it.

  • @D0CCON

    I agree with you.

    I'm european and all these old JRPG never came out in Europe (FF7 is the first FF released in Europe, DQ8 the first DQ). I played FF1/2/4/5/6 on PSX but it was in English and I didn't understand English at the time (and I hate play Roms, always bad translations)

    Now I can play the old FF/DQ/CC thanks to the GBA and the DS.

    And when I see how are the new JRPG (FF13 for exemple, a real piece of shit), I'm glad to have all these RPG "old school"

  • Have the people, who created DQ, thought about making the games for Xbox or PS3 since we are now moving further into more advance tech.? I remember my father and I playing the DQ 1-4 games on Nintendo and introducing him to the DQ 8 since he never used a PS2 before...what a great way for father and son to bond.

  • and in english without finding a translation patch because i dont know how to do that

  • does anyone know how to play dragon quest v on the computer

  • @triedge132 Yes. Find an emulator (I suggest CoolRom.com) and a rom file of DQ5, download both, put them in the same folder. Run the emulator and click the game file. It'll be Japanese, so you might want to find a translation patch. If you've never done anything like this before, I apologize if it sounds confusing.

  • hey can you get kids in the original dragon quest v

  • DQ5 DS is superior to all versions because it's portable. And shit this game is long! It's awesome!

  • this is the best DQ ever, sotry wise. i played the original one in college almost 2 decades ago

  • If anyone can help i'm stuck around when you go to the first village..and some guy is missing in a cave...and Pakraz leaves

  • Comment removed

  • Amazon has this back in stock. I think Dragon Quest V has got a reprinting, I'm playing with it right now and it's really nice.

  • dragon quest  is 8 is probably better than getting head from kim khardasian

  • @CalifornianColombian Any game is better than that.

  • @CalifornianColombian are u high O_o

  • I've been playing the heck out of DQ9, but when I'm done with it I won't really have any other new games to play on my shiny 3DS(not interested in any 3DS games so far). I think I'm gonna try to get DQ4, 5 and 6, DQ is a great series for sinking in as much time as possible.

  • @FFFan3445

    yeah it's pretty amazing. Pretty hard to know where to go sometimes though

  • Im loving 6 so im going to get 5 as soon as i can

  • @jv9ufxcy 5 is soooooo much better than 6

  • Hand of the Heavenly bride story is great and somewhat tragic for most of time.

    For sure the most mature DQ ever released (you even get married,have children,etc)and very funny too,but I can't help to like DQVI,VII and VIII more.

    IX and IV are damn good too.

  • @rogerrnt1990 not so sure about vi. I only played the NoProgrss translation, which wasnt complete, but there are times during the game that there's is seriously NO way to know what to do unless you consult a faq

  • @MentosMan727 I'm playing the DS one right now,almost at Mudo's(or Murdaw) castle. Great translation so far,with lots of Talk command dialogues like DQ7.

  • @rogerrnt1990 Yeah the English fan translation made it near impossible to play. I did finish it and it was a good game, though. I played 5, 6 and 7 for the first time in the last year (just started 7 a week ago) and I would say that 5 was by far my favorite. Previously, it was 2 which I feel was pretty underrated.

  • Gonna get this game once I get the money.

  • Out of the DQ releases on the DS (excluding the spinoffs) V is easily my favorite , followed by IV. IX was only okay and VI doesn't really have a good story and offered almost no innovation.

  • DQV is actually better than the latest ones to come out, meaning DQ IX and DQ VI.

  • @love4remind Yeah, DQV's story is a lot more attention capturing. I think it's because you go through the protagonist's entire life

  • The best DQ game imo, at least so far. Sooooooooooooooooooo epic. :3

  • i loved this so much

  • the graphics look cheap :s

  • @yuzkesito so was ur mom for two nights xD jk man just saying the graphics are from a snes game

  • @pokefreak001 i still think this game graphics and ur mom look cheap xD jk man

  • I saw Dragon Quest V at my local Walmart about 4 months ago. I told my self to wait on it. Cause they had 2 copies. Then when I went back two weeks to buy it, it was sold out.I didn't realized that it was so rare now. It ended up costing me about 50 bucks on ebay. I'm glad I got a copy now. I know the price will continue going up.

  • EXCELLENT GAME!

  • This game is so rare now. D= Damn you Squeenix.

  • dq5 is on ps2!?

  • this game costs alot of dough...

  • @ImperviousMason that because it's a great game but it did not become that popular so it went out of print in 3 mouths after release

  • look a bit like zela

  • DQ9, I like better than DQV.

  • omg dragon quest is one of my most favorite game series, im so happy the original ones are coming back on the DS.

  • I need some opinions here. Should i get this game or Dragon Quest IX Sentinels of the Starry Skies?

  • @AssasinMonkeys holy

    DQ9! its a 3d game

    with the

    BEST STORY FOR DS AWARD

  • DQ4 is reasonably priced. why exactly does this game go for around $60 wherever i look now? i remember seeing it at the store for the typical $40... i wasn't very moved by 8 so i didn't bother until 9 came out, which i am enjoying right now. oh well.

  • how do you get Debora as your bride 

  • New graphics ruin this

  • HOLY SHIT, I have some really bass-heavy headphones on now, and that intro gave me some serious fucking pressure.

  • I'm still waiting for DQ6 to be released here... Hope it gets released soon!

  • Bought it yesterday because I've just finished IV and then watched this review. Man, DQV was hard to find here in Brazil and it was expansive. But it's worth it. Many thanks for this review, IGN.

  • its dragon quest 5

  • battles are still first person?that sucks..no different than dragon warrior.so whats the point?

  • Comment removed

  • @VicRules666 We're not allowed to.

  • @VicRules666 all the games at gamestop are OPENED lol. They open them, keep the disc, roms, expensive shit, (minus accessories) behind the counter to prevent theft lololololololol

  • Comment removed

  • @VicRules666 Lmfao you dumb faggot, the display case isn't the case the game comes in.

  • @mymarkis666 Fuck you dickhead!

  • @VicRules666 Oh sorry, did I bring up bad memories of when the other children picked on you because of your down syndrome? My bad.

  • @mymarkis666 I bet you get a hard on from watching mens profesional wrestling. Im rigth arent I. Its OK youre a homosexual, no ones judging here.

  • @VicRules666 I haven't watched 'professional wrestling' since I was around 11, so no, you're not right. And I agree there's nothing wrong with being homosexual, but in calling me one you're wrong again.

  • how much does this game cost? i saw that it costs 62 dollars, but..... just making sure

  • pankraz? his name is papas!

    stupid official translation.

  • How do you recruit some people for your party?

  • Am I the only one who reads IGNentertainment as IG-N-tertainment? xD

  • I don't get the hype going with this game... I've played every one of the Dragon Quest games, and this one definitely isn't one of my favorites... I get that people like the Monster Recruiting, and I guess it's kool that your kids actually look different depending on your wife, but story is almost nonexistant, and there is no great evil until you've almost gotten to the end... Someone please tell me why this game is so popular. And I'm not trying to hate, I'm just assuming I've missed something.

  • @maniamaster2 Uh, this game has the most fleshed out story of any Dragon Quest game. Just because the main villain isn't apparent until the end, does not mean that it lacks a story.

  • the fans want the combat to stay old school, so this review is pretty bad

  • I would love to get into this game. (If I can find this game being sold somewhere). I know the game has been out over a year now. But come on, I should be able to find it, at a decent price somewhere.

  • @TheAngelDust88 you could try ebay since ds games are region free

  • @oshikura13 Thank you for the tip. I did finally find the game. But still thank you for the tip.

  • @TheAngelDust88 no problem :)

  • this is one of my fav games of all time

  • omg!

    i bought dragon qeust nine and i play it and i was like hey its difference from the commercial whit pankrax and stuff turns out i got the box of dragon qeust 9 but the stupid saleman sold me dragon qeust 5 im going back to the shop tomorow and he is gonna get some ass kicked

  • Im just gonna say this, THE BATTLE ANIMETIONS KICK ASS OwO

    those animetions look smooth, and full of life, Im not the biggest dragon quest fan and I think there awesome.

  • What about the Original Dragon Quest? and DQ 2 and 3? Are they going to remake those? they should!

  • @ThePokeMasterSilver They remade Dragon Warrior 1, 2 and 3 for Game Boy Color 9-10 years ago.

  • this game is shit theres no clues at the beginning of the game its so shit

  • @TheDannyjak Who cares if there's no clues of what to do at the beginning of the game? If you have to figure out what to do yourself then that makes the game ahrder, which is good. Are you one of those shitty gamers who don't like hard games because you sound like you are? If so shut the fuck up and go back to playing your piss easy games. Leave proper games to us proper gamers.

  • @TheDannyjak you're an idiot

  • -was focused more on how boring the guy's voice is somehow-

    I wish I would be into this game and all the older ones like this. DQ8 + 9 I love at least...

  • IS it online ?

  • I didn't really like this game, it was too boring. I only liked the beginning.

  • do u hav to use touch screen to use a move or attack?

  • I need to get me and DS now... I've been playing this emulated (ZSnes) but i'd like to play whereever

  • dragon quest 9 is so good

  • @andylinkproductions sure, its the best in the series, although dragon quest 8 with its 3d graphs comes right behind it..

    pity there are no voices in DQ9

  • @andylinkproductions i TOTALLY agree with you

  • @andylinkproductions I just got the game 2 days ago don't worry DQX is gonna be released for the wii

  • @PokeTwilight yeah

    iwas gonna sell my wii but than

    i thought

    HMMM

    LOZ 2 : skyward sword

    and

    DQ: WII is coming out

    i saw the jap gameplay its epic

  • @andylinkproductions DQIX is not so good DQIX is the best!

  • @PokeTwilight true but i wish that it could of been a mmorpg after the story you know

    questing with friends

    like some other ds games

    BUT i couldnt put it down cause

    the story is hmmmm.....

    what words shall i use.

    unbelievably EPIC!

  • @andylinkproductions So SO good.

  • @andylinkproductions is it worth getting if your not going to play multi player with anyone else?

  • @SHIBBYiPANDA DEFINETLY!!! the Multiplayer isnt that much fun

  • @SHIBBYiPANDA Id say it's okay, but the single play is not nearly as good as in other Rpgs. You can really feel that the Multiplayer aspect took a big part in the game, for example with the not so good developed or character based storyline, lots of lots of grinding, many looting, collecting and Crafting . It feels like an MMorpg sometimes. If you like that kinda stuff, it's worth playing. If you are more interested in Story and Characters better get one of the other DQ's

  • @Sheepy007 Thnx! Which DQ do you prefer for single playing???

  • @SHIBBYiPANDA dragon warrior monsters for the gameboy color release. one of the best ever

  • I love the first 9 Final Fantasy games because they are traditional RPG's, you know, random encounters and a lot of grinding... I loved that about them. I've wanted to try Dragon Quest for years, but with me living in England they weren't released originally. I'm planning on getting the DS remakes and number 9. I have got Dragon Quest VIII, but I;ve not got around to playing it yet.

  • @widdowson91 If you haven't played DQVIII yet, you'll be pleasantly surprised how rich and delightfully old-school the game is. Level-5 knows how to make expansive worlds in their rpgs.

  • @oneupdawg Well I'm happy to hear that they are delightfuly old-school, I'm looking forward to playing DQVIII now :D.

  • @widdowson91 then just download an emulator and the game for it then, its pretty neat

  • @widdowson91 you need to play dragon quest 5. it has a fantastic story. dragon quest 9 was fun to play but was rly lacking on the story :/ like rly badly. dragon quest 4 but its too similiar to every other rpg game. go collect party and save the world. dragon quest 5 was awsome cuz its not like most rpg games. I RLY RLY SUGGEST EVERYONE TO PLAY THIS GAME!

  • @Gonzo233 Yeah I've been after getting Dragon Quest V, but I can't seem to find it for a price that I'm willing to pay.

  • @widdowson91 if u havnt played the original ones try an emulator :)

  • @widdowson91 I absolutely loved Dragon Quest 8 but it's important to know (if you don't already) that it's more of a comedy theme and not very serious at all.

  • @Yamigata It's not always that way, but I agree and I think that's one of the good things about it. Without Yangus and his great voice actor the game wouldn't be the same.

  • As soon as I saw this video I knew it would make a great addition to my collection. I'm gonna pick this sucker up either today or tomorrow.

  • I just beat this game in a few days of intense playing and it was GREAT! Such an addicting, fun game.

  • hahaha! he said "and dq6 in the NEAR future."! i wish that was the case...

  • @supercoolmeeee

    Yeah, whatever happened with VI? will it come out?

    I mean, it isn't even out in Japan, let alone here...

  • @DavetzWin japan has VI. it came out in January.

  • Eleven Hours until DQIX!!!!!!

    *squeals like a FFVII fangirl*

    Yup, I can't wait!

  • Man this Dragonquest storyline was breathtakingly amazing

    i never played this older one but this one is amazing either way

    definitely a favorite!

  • I LIKE DRAGON QUEST MORE THAN FINAL FANTSY I HATE FINAL FANTASY BUT HEY GUYS IF U GUY HAVE A PS2 AND WANT TO PLAY A REAL FUN RPG BUY PERSONA 4 TURST ME BEST RPG EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @erickzlyke160 persona 4 best rpg ever ? are u kidding me that game was cut scene after cut scene after cutscene absolute nightmare to play i literally counted the hours away bashing the x button to skip dialogue and they where still bloody talking

  • @stussyboys yeah only the begging but after that htey dont talk that much

  • @erickzlyke160 Hate Final Fantasy? How can you do that?

    Look, I like Dragon Quest a lot as well, but take a look at the Final Fantasy series' artwork and music, those alone scream quality.

  • @Laurelindo i hate final fantasy too. look at shitty final fantasyX-2, XI, XII, XIII seriously the last good final fantasy game was X and X-2 ruined the story lol. atleast dragon quest keeps true to the classics

  • @13nbui Well I agree on the post-X FFs being bad, but FFI-FF10 are great (possibly excluding FF: Mystic Quest, which is just decent, and maybe FFII which can be very frustrating for some people).

  • @Laurelindo I don't hate FF- it just doesn't hold a candle to the game mechanics, and it lacks the zoom spell. Plus, FF went all sci fi, and the FMVs look TOO real, almost alien-like. Plus, DQ sticks to turn based- far superior to ATB bars or limit breaks requiring specific button inputs or having to unearth an exact strategy to kill a boss or else you die in one round.

  • I honestly like Dragon Quest series much more then an final fantasy series that has fell off drastically

  • Dragon Quest series can't be fucked with

  • number 9 coming out in 25 days

  • ive only played dragon quest 8 (think,its on ps2) its alot more challenging then ff 10, and especially 12 (the jester was an absolute nightmare...)

  • DUDE.

    SLOW. DOWN.

  • Bozon gives it a 7.9

  • Well...Yeah FF got girl-boy main characters and always (especially Van)

    But the people like FF because it's easy to play

    I'm a FF fan and I was going to play DQ

    But my friend told me do not play it Cuz it's a lot harder than FF

    So I didn't but I still want to try it....It looks AWESOME~~!!!

  • @DarknessD42 so just cause it's more of a challenge you avoid it? have gamers really become so lazy? don't ever try, like, an 8-bit game such as Ninja Gaiden... you'll get nightmares -_-

  • @ScarecrowCruz You can just grind out of the difficulty on these RPG's... but Ninja Gaiden that's just sadistic game design and involves skill :P.

  • @Onimyst yeah, my point was gamers today seems to be lazy unskilled people who thinks the game should play itself rather than giving them a challenge... today it seems all's about how many hours of cutscenes you cram in not the gameplay you should enjoy... kinda sucks.

  • @ScarecrowCruz You know...I'm not really lazy...But I can't get a copy of it these days...and if you told me you can buy it online...Well I don't have a credit card...And that sucks... And when I asked my friend to borrow it... He said GO TO HELL... WTH???

    But I still really wanna try it~~!! T.T

    And sorry for the late reply...

    I just knew there's a mailbox in Youtube~!!! LOLOLOL XDD

  • @DarknessD42 Dude, look into emulation. You can play this 3 ways- original SFC fan translated, PS2 translated, or get a copy of the FIXED DQ5 DS (fixed means a patch that overides the copyright protection and your ship ride in the beginning won't last forever). Are you old enough to have a checking account? If so, get a Visa check card- functions like a credit card, just instead drawing money from your account.

  • @redneckpride4ever Yeah I already got the Emulation~!!

    But do I have the time to play?? (Hope so!!!)

    Thanks for the Information alot!! It's just that I nearly can manage my time...So I hope I'll get a free time to spend it in all RPG games~!!!

    And Uni SUCKS!!! LOL

  • if ppl thinks ff series is good try asking square to make remakes all they will do is just give u more remakes of 1 and 2 for final fantasy

  • Wait I think you can.

  • I really wish you could tame monsters in those games like in DragonWarrior monsters 1 and 2.

  • @thingsdie9 Actually, I think you can.

  • how do i get rid of the wagon, so it doesnt show up following me?

  • hey, hey, slow down. a little

  • @jered91 enjoy ^.^

  • @jered91 yes at romhusler dot N E T

  • I've only just ordered this game from Amazon as I was looking at playing a good RPG on the DS. I've never played a DQ game before, but after reading so many positive things about it I just had to pick it up. Besides, I wanna get into the DQ world before DQ VI hits on the DS.

  • Wow i played the SNES version ...amazing game

  • I love DQ. Both as in dragon quest and dairy queen.

  • I don't say this often enough but I do believe dragon quest is better than ff but the let down is that there aren't too many dq games but it is way better than the ff games but I'll say this ff7 is the best and ff4 was good but I like all dq and ff games but I just believe dq is way better in every way.

  • i love that they made these remakes especially 5 and 6 since we never officially got them, but that they use the engine from dragon quest 7 from the ps1 which is one of my all time fave console rpg's. i cant wait until dq 6 comes out. i always wanted a gba cart that had dq 5 and 6 on it but we never got it.

  • WOO!!! Awesome...:)

  • its a mazing game, not to much fancy shit, but the whole feling, the music the humor, the ennemys breaht the Dragon Quest style.The story is also quit enttertaining. lots of items. i realy like DQ great games, and far more poplair in Japan than FF.

  • bianca looks like the lady in the candy store in dragonball z episode 241-global announcement.

  • i married bianca in this game

  • no its a remake of dragon quest V which was only released in japan

  • i feel like a noob at level 85 when i cant beat estark in 15 turns or less x.x

    i got the hero, 2 kids and the cyclops guy (who needs like 3million xp until level up)

    any tips? :P

  • @GuireGod Level up some more even takes a lot of grinding beating that guy.

    Also the last TnT bord is realy realy touch if lucky it wil cost your a view hours... i beat it after 20 hours somthing stopt counting :S

  • this is why i love video games

  • Great game! Love the DQ series , cant wait for DQ 6!
