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?

Dq8 was fun, I didn't finish it but the pacing and adventures felt like playing an anime series, really cool experience

Octopath Traveller is another jrpg with a similar tempo and charm I liked

The mobile Zelda games always had a cozier feeling than the main line, Links awakening was my favorite

    If it is anything like dq11, I don;t blame anyone for not finishing them. They seem like they are just huge long games.

    Props to the dev team for putting the work in to make these massive games, but I kinda got burnt out of dq11 a while ago and picked it up, but burned out again and since lost my save file. I transferred it from switch to the PC.

    Although, after playing dq8, I kind of want to play it again.
