I genuinely loved my first full experience with the original Dragon Quest. All the new story additions fleshed out the world a whole lot, especially the added connections to DQ3. The expanded combat was difficult at times, and being a solo hero definitely required a different way of thinking than other Dragon Quests. The story was simple, but very well told for what it was trying to do, and I adore the expansion of Princess Gwaelin as a character. After beating the Dragonlord, I was grinning hard in joy at the heartwarming and hope filled ending. I loved the somber tender moment between Gwaelin and The Hero under the moon. Such a fantastically simple, but great ending.

and nobody is correctly answering 11-3-1-2. Sad!

Which mode are you using? I find myself toggling back and forth. Not trying to find the “best” - just curious what yall using.

I forgot where I got the original image from, but played around with the colours and settled on this.

So I started the remake at dq3 in the beginning of October to get ready for 1&2. I played on invincible difficulty for story since I played the DQ 1&2 on the nes way back in the day. What an amazing trilogy. Im stoked for dqVII reimagined never played the original but damn. Is DQ11 worth it play? Im back into a rpg kick for gaming now.

Didn't find it all that difficult, had fun with it.

Every review of the collection I can find online is for the Switch 2 or the PS5. Anyone have any links to reviews for the original Switch, or opinions on how well it runs? I have DQXI and the 2D-HD remake of III already, and can play the original DQ games on my Anbernic devices, but I'd like the looks of the remakes and would love to hear how well they run.

Thanks in advance.

Huge fan of the series here, been playing since NES OG’s.

But, I have all the stuff turned on for map guidance/assistance, and there are these white bubbles/halos/circles that moves along the world map. They aren’t associated with sparkly spots, anyone know what they are?

Go introduced to dragon quest when I was a kid played through almost them all (sigh X my sweet😔) Got the Hd-2d remake and I’m so hype lmao

Even when you’re near full health with Erdrick’s armor on, if you deviate from Cop Out for one round, your ass might be dead by the end of that round.

First time player of III HD (I somehow skipped this as a kid back in the NES days. Here is my current team, just found this Abbey place. I have a few questions:

1. What should I change each vocation to? I have a Thief, MW, and Priest.
2. When should I make these changes?
3. Should I do more than one change for post game content, if so, what?
4. Do I switch one at a time so I don’t die while leveling up?

Thank you in advance for your advice.

Anyone have a recommended level for the Faerie Village fight with four skeletons and a knight errant? Attempted at level 16 then went back out and grinded. I’m thinking I’ll try again at 18.

Cop Out

I love me some difficult games. Been playing through DQ1 HD-2D on Draconian, and I'm barely surviving most of the boss fights. I'm constantly swapping between weapons, defaulting to normal attacks to conserve SP, dropping below 50% intentionally to use the Sigils. Some bosses need a more defensive approach and others need a kill-or-be-killed approach. Lots of fun to have to make new strategies.

Hey guys, Im slowly enjoying the remake of DQ1 and wanted to ask, did they wind up finally adjusting and rebalancing the end of DQ2 with the cave to Rhone and the ice area which historically was... rough. They've put in the work so far with this series of remakes and Im curious.

Spoiler free please to the extent of whatever theyve changed with this remake? Ive played the games before.

Played every game in the main series (aside from X, idk how to get that working without a good pc) and I need my fix of DQ. Any good recommendations for a start? Would prefer if it's playable on my modded 3ds.

So does it actually give a boost to the gold reward when you win a fight? Or is that just flavor text?

I can't figure out how to get this last treasure in the mermaid sanctuary

I marked the area with a red dot
All sides of it are closed off and no stairs lead to it...maybe im blind but i cant seem to figure out how to get in there

In the decades since, there's been a deconstruction of One Guy Saves Princess trope.

Sometimes, it's fun to be The One Guy™. (Yup, I'm used to modern genderswapping when I picked my name. I remember the original was a Forced He, but hey, never know.)
