I started playing dq8 for 3ds last week, and while I’m just level 7, the game has been really fun.
It is a really charming series. I’ve played dq11 pretty far, but I did not complete it. It’s just a long game.
I think I like the lightheartedness of it. The art style is cute and the dialog does not take itself too seriously.
What are your thoughts on the dragon quest series? What should I play after I finish 8?


After hearing and reading more about ix, I think I’m more interested in viii and some of the older games.
11 was really great. It was my intro to the series and it’s just as charming as 8 is.
I pretty much played the mainline ones in order. I was using the Android apps, and I lost momentum and quit because my phone got crushed by an airplane seat when I was almost done with VI.
The really spicy suggestion is to play the first game, and then play Builders before you play II. Trust me, it’ll make sense if you do it.
What even is builders? I thought it was just a Minecraft clone.
It’s basically Minecraft with more of an RPG feeling. Without giving too much away, the plot of Builders takes place after the events of the first mainline Dragon Quest game. I can’t comment on Builders 2 since I haven’t played it. But as someone whose favorite games are Minecraft and the Dragon Quest series, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
That’s cool, i never really tried Minecraft, maybe I will give this a try instead as I have been curious about Minecraft somewhat.
