Strawpoll is shit. You can use TorBrowser to vote for you're favorite game as often as you want.

Why bother posting a /v/ poll here?

Always go with release order. Original versions only for the first playthrough.

I agree.

I actually like the NES versions of I-IV the most because of the chiptune soundtrack, but it's still good to play the remakes as well.

I'm about to start Dragon Warrior 7 and I'm going in completely blind. I'm told it's the longest DQ out of all of them. Anything else I should know?

Having to go back to a previous island because you missed a shard can be annoying. While I don't recommend following a walkthrough, only a poofter would think that is a good idea, if you can locate an item checklist (which may be part of a greater walkthrough or FAQ ducment) you may save yourself some grief.

Oh, and expect the slowest start ever. No monsters for hours.

8 or arguably 5 (on the DS). If you liked either of those play 4 (NES or DS (which is missing party chat), 3, and maybe 9 (though it's a different beast altogether). If you like the series, play 1 taking into account when it was made and that it was one of the first games of it's type at the time. Then play 2 if you're still into the series. And if you really want to play more DQ, play 7.

If at any point you feel like you want to play though them again, I personally suggest this order
1, 2, & 3 on GBC, 4, 5, & 6 on DS, 8, and then optionally 9 and 7 on their respective hardware.

Probably grab the GBC 1&2 as well as 3. Good place to start. You can certainly play the NES versions if you'd prefer but I feel that there were some nice quality of life upgrades in the GBC versions that I tend to appreciate.

It's a slow game, but I love it. It's my favorite DQ personally. I love all of the little vignettes of each era and time. And there is just this sense of sadness to much of the game that only 5 matched.

the DQ series is turly the upper echelon of the gods of video games. they are all good and better then almost any RPG out there.

but of all of them, 8 barely eeks out as the best. it is the perfect storm of eastern game design with western level production values.

we will never see such again, and it is heartbreaking.
