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?

The customer characters are what made me want to pass on it. I’m not into that sort of thing in a game like this.

    Yeah, if you're like me and like the fun dialogue the most, I'd just focus on DQ8 and see if you like it enough to finish it. If you do, I'd suggest giving 11 another go after that, since that's definitely the most similar title in the franchise. If you do want to try getting into the custom characters games down the line, 7 reimagined would probably be a decent starting point, since they have some customization while still having distinct characters with personality and voice acting.
