I got hooked on the DQ series with VII on the PS1. I got stuck and rage quit and didn't go back for years, until I wisely bought the strategy guide. VIII was awesome, and I got all the DS games as they came out. Then I got one of those multi-deck consoles that playes NES, SNES, and Genesis games and got I-III for it. I only played the first one, and it is a grindy slog and very unforgiving, but man, I loved it. And with the Switch, I bought and downloaded I-III again. And discovered that they're the GBC ports. Not that that is a bad thing, it just means my maps and notes for the first game are no good. I actually like DQ better than I ever liked Final Fantasy. Heresy, I know.
