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?

It gets darker and more serious with its plot, but I always found Breath of Fire to share some of the same charm as Dragon Quest for reasons I can't quite quantify. 2 and 3 especially. 4 is also magnificent, but it's something of a a stylistic departure from the previous ones.
