Square Enix series

OK, so even though I never really got into RPG's, after reading all the positive feedback in this thread, I think I might try out some Dragon Quest games. My friend is letting me borrow his PS2 along with Final Fantasy 10, I think, so when I play it I'll let you all know how it is like. Any suggestions for Dragon Quest games?

I never played much of SE's franchises, just the Final Fantasy games on GBA, DS and Wii.

Dragon Quest, for sure. I picked up the DS remakes as well as the new one, and IX is seriously crack in videogame form. I don't remember the last time I played a game for over 20 hours within a week, haha.

Although this could change -- I also picked the Final Fantasy remakes for DS, as well as Final Fantasy XIII for the 360. Not super impressed with the latter from what I've played, but haven't played the remakes yet.

When you say remake, do you mean F F 4 on the DS? If so, I remember that game being really, really hard. It could just be me though.

Yep, FFIII and FFIV. Haven't even cracked them open yet. I also have an unplayed copy of FF Tactics 2 or whatever it's called, picked it up for around $10. Soooo many good gaming deals on Amazon lately (especially through their Prime-supported fulfillment service, Warehouse Deals)...

As for suggestions for the Dragon Quest series, just get IX.

I agree with the first part. Dragon Quest 9 was the first DS game I've played in a while that got me this hooked!

4 is easy for an RPG, once you know what you're doing.

And of course, you need to grind a bit as well.

@Bul, how far are you in XIII??? Some people think that it picks up greatly from chapter 11.

Not too far, I think I'm at Chapter 3. Gonna take a while for it to pick up, then, yikes!

It's pretty much the halfway point when things open up, and of course, a difficulty spike accompanies them...

I beat FFXIII... There is some very annoying hard bosses later... but yeah it really does pick up pretty quick at a certain point. I still have not done everything you can do in the game.

I grinder for a while at the start if chapter 11, so the game actually got easier for me =D

Kingdom Hearts is my favorite series, played all of them & loved them. Cant wait for Birth By Sleep to come out, and always praying for KH3

 

[Smugleaf]

I played the GBA kingdom hearts (chain of memories), and never beat it. I just bought DQIX a while ago and it's awesome.
