I liked the original DW far more than the original FF.
But that's the only DW I've played. I just bought 3 (GBC) on a whim, looks pretty good so far.

Every mention of Dragon Quest 6 in this thread refers to a translated rom.Quote:

Next time, how about reading the thread before copy&pasting the same shit you say about playing any Japanese game. Thanks.

What you've said kinda parallels what another poster said in the ZSNES DeJap forums. After reading both of your posts, I think I'll give the series a try. But where to start?
You see, the thing is, I'm not really into portables and absolutely loathe the thought of playing an rpg on my 65" RPTV with...*gasp*...Gameboy Color graphics. I looked up some screenshots of the GBC remixes and while they look good on a 2" GBC screen, I'm not sure if I could swallow the overly simplistic 2D sprites and color pallette delivered from the little handheld that could. I would much rather look at graphics delivered from the Super Famicom and I'm not sure I want to deal with graphics more old school than that system....unless the GBC remixes are THAT spanking good!
So it looks like I may be leaning towards starting with the following...
DQ V(translated SFC rom)
DQ VI(translated SFC rom)
DQ VII(PSX)
DQ VIII(PS2)
...then by the time I'm done with those, hopefully DQ III Reprise for SFC will be at least 90% translated. I really REALLY wish Enix would have brought III Reprise out for either Super Nintendo or PSX. I remember looking at screenshots for it in an old issue of GameFan and just drooling at how beautiful the 2D pallette was.
Here's the thing....a few years ago, after being heavily influenced by Nick Rox, I used to drool at screenshots of all the beautiful RPGs out for the SFC. I have always wanted to play the ones that looked the prettiest so I started with Chrono Trigger(which remains my favorite videogame of all time to this day), then played FFVI, then Breath of Fire II, Secret of Evermore, Lufia II, Tales of Phantasia, etc.... I enjoyed all of these immensly and was so impressed at what the Super Nintendo could do.
Now, ten years later, I am starting to reminise on how I used to just gaze at the screenshots of those RPGs, and thanks to emulation and DeJap, I'm ready take on some of these games. Some of the other games I'd also like to play for the first time are...
Secret of Mana
Seiken Densetsu III(Translated SFC rom)
Tenchi Sozo(aka Terranigma)
Bahamut Lagoon
FF IV(hard type)
FF V
FF VI again...to celebrate my 10th anniversary of not playing it in duh, 10 years.
Earthbound
Far East of Eden Zero(translated?)
The best Y's games
Whateve else is out there that's good and in English
I am currently playing the translated patch of Star Ocean and I'm having a blast with it! Perhaps you can tell me which of those games mentioned above are worth playing. Also Star Ocean 2nd Story is said to be pretty good too eh?
Anyway more thoughts are welcomed...
I like DW4 the most.
DQ7 is much less... "annoying" than DQ6.

Dag yo...you straight fucked up irony meter.
My sig is so powerful it derails threads and gets me quoted from threads that I don't even post in. :)
So that means I can say you spam an advertisement for a shitty webcomic in every single post you create? That works.
Isamu - I haven't played the PS2 remake but I'd really recommend against playing the SFC version of DQ5.
Damian - what was annoying about DQ6?
The job system simply takes way to long advance, and the random encounters were way too high for my liking.
EDIT about DQ5: "frame skip".
The DWIII remix is, simply because it's the only English version out there. I wouldn't hold your breath on the SFC rom translation, either. I also wouldn't recommend playing any retro games on the state-of-the-art TVs out there, as I hear they look like poo.Quote:

DWIV is entertaining enough to make you forget about the really old-school graphics. And the DWIII remix pushes the GBC to the absolute max, with more detail than any NES game or GBC game before it.
Do what you want, but I hightly reccomend starting with the NES games. Since each sequel improves upon the last, you'll get a greater appreciation for them that way.Quote:

Dragon Quest games came out way earlier US Dragon Warrior counterparts. The original Dragon Quest for the Famicom came out in in 1986 and by the time the first game was localized in the US, the series was already up to part IV in JapanQuote:
