Should I play them in order, or can I jump in anywhere? However, if you're looking classic gameplay in a classic setting, then Dragon Quest is most certainly for you.
Additionally, most of the older titles have random encounters, which I understand can be a point of frustration for some. Therefore, the series isn't quite for everyone if you do not like turn based, classic battle systems, then it may be hard to get into the series. The series is also well known for sticking very closely to its roots. The mainline Dragon Quest titles are all turn-based RPGs, with the exception of Dragon Quest X (more on that later). Well, that's what this beginner's guide is for! If you want to play some (or all) of the Dragon Quest series before XI's release, or just want some information on the games, you've come to the right place! This first guide focuses solely on the mainline games and what's best for a series beginner to dive into-if you're interested in untangling the mess that are the Dragon Quest side-series, that guide will be coming soon! Tell me more about the series!ĭragon Quest is most easily described as Enix's Final Fantasy, although the first Dragon Quest game came out before the first Final Fantasy title.
