Favorite Dragon Warrior

What was your favorite Dragon Warrior game and why?

[vintagegamecrazy]

Time to bring up an old topic.

I'll take 3 anytime, I can't stand one, finished two and it was tedious, and three is so well balanced and has so much depth.

My favrite is actually the Dragon Quest 4 remix for PS1, but since it's not there (Nor is the dq3 remix for sfc,) I'll take the original DW4.

[Half Cab Leroy]

DW4 but I really want to play 3 because I've heard it's good.

[Simply Dave]

Dragon Warrior 4 is my fave with DW3 right behind it.

[Crush Crawfish]

I don't care if it's not on the list. Dragon Warrior Monsters kicked ass. Easily my favorite DW game, followed by #3 for GBC.

[Psycho Mantis]

i liked dragon warrior 1 & 2 the best. it's two great portable rpg's in one cartridge, how could you go wrong?

[Aussie2B]

Where are the Japanese-only ones? My fave is Dragon Quest 6.

[Dr. Morbis]

I picked DW1. I know its simple and beyond rudimentary, but there is just something magical about that game for me.

[tynstar]

Where is the option for I dont think I have ever played one. :o

[Trellisaze]

DW1 was the first love, but DW4 is the one that does the most and best with the formula. (DW7 might win if I only considered the MOST.)

[DTJAAAAMJSLM]

My favorite is Dragon Warrior 3 for the GBC. I loved creating my own party of adventurers, and the new additions to the game were great.

[AMG]

DW1 & DW7.

DW1 because of all the memories.

DW7 because it's a whole LOT of (classic style) RPG goodness.

[kainemaxwell]

I voted for DW4, cool characters and I enjoy the chapters aspect. Off the list I like DQ6 too.

[jerkov]

I'm also going with DW4 due to the variety of the characters you control in each of the chapters. I also like how all of the chapters tie in together during the final chapter and you travel around with a caravan. DW3 is very, very close second; I always love going to the monster fighting arena in that game. Both are very epic games with quest sizes that are very impressive for an NES game.

[badinsults]

I have played 1, 3, 4, and 5, and I believe 4 was the best.

[Sylentwulf]

DW 4 was just friggin AMAZING, especially for it's time and being on a NES system.

Out of all the injustices done to the amrican videogaming public, the lack of DW games far outweighs anything else :(

[Azazel]

DQ6 but it hard to pick as the remixes for DQ3 and 4 are very good too.

[racecar]

Where are the Japanese-only ones? My fave is Dragon Quest 6.
yes i would also like to pick up and play dQ5 and dw8 befor i finalized this , but for the moment DQ3 and 4 was good and still is!!!

[Daniel Thomas]

I never spent enough time with the Dragon Qwest game, but I'd have to think #4 was the biggest one, if only because of the impact it had in Japan. I think there's still a law on their books that says no DQ game can be released on a school day. Crazy.

[The Manimal]

3 followed by 1 and 4

[G4MZ0v3R]

For sure 3

Double Dragon III all the way. It's been a long time since I played it, but I remember loving how the story tied in with events that happened before the first one. I thought it made both games seem so much more epic.

I also have a soft spot for I, because it was my first RPG and the first NES game I owned besides Super Mario Bros. I got it with my NES for Christmas, actually. I remember being very disappointed because I wanted an action game, but beating it anyway and grudgingly coming to like it. I picked it up a little later for a second playthrough and an RPG addiction was born.

I might rank Dragon Warrior IV higher if I get to play all of it. I didn't get to finish it as a kid and I can't find a reasonably priced copy today.
