--- Quote from: scott on July 22, 2013, 08:35:53 am ---For me, I knew much more about Dragon Warrior than I did about Final Fantasy. Dragon Warrior 1 was my 1st RPG experience also, and I loved it. Honestly, I never even heard of Final Fantasy until I saw my cousin playing Final Fantasy II on SNES. And then I played Final Fantasy III and fell in love. By the time Final Fantasy VII came around I was deep in Square's corner. ha --- End quote --- Yep, this is about the scenario I was talking about. The time between DWIV and DQVII was known as the Dark age for DQ. It really was the point in which the series was all but destroyed in the US. |

Honestly, even when I saw DW7 and DQ8 I was kinda "meh, Dragon Quest". Tho now I've rediscovered DQ and love it again. |

IMO I think DQ never did as well here in the US is because until the last couple games the player characters had very little to no personality. The DQ formula has never changed and graphics always seem to come last compared to story and character development (although the monster animations are freakin amazing). I love that this series has not changed much over the years but you have to admit DQ isn't for everyone. Super grindy, hard bosses and extremely time consuming. I really enjoy relaxing at the end of the day to some DQ. I'm currently playing through DQVIII again right now, and am working toward a mint complete set of the games. Now I need to watch this vid, thanks for the post sin2beta! |
