Hi, everyone! It has been awhile! I have recently been saving my time and money to get a chance to play DQ XI and make discussions on it. Thoughout my wait, I managed to stumble upon a really cool place for Dragon Quest fans to interact with one another. This is the Dragon Quest Animo. It is a place where fans of the series can go for interactive media such as: Polls, Quzzies, Fanart, Disscussion, Contests, chats, Post, memes and other kinds of Dragon Quest related content. It is honestly a pretty cosy place to be in. Here is a link to the Offical DQ Amino http://aminoapps.com/c/dragon-quest-835070 So if you decide to go on a new adventure, check out the Dragon Quest Amino! I hope you enjoy your time!

Congratulation, Sackcheif! It is always a great sight to see when a great work gets recognized. Lucky you, you got a signing by Yuji Horii! I don't know which prize is more worth it! It is a memory that will be cherished for a long time.

WOAH! Now where do I even begin? Hi, @aerynb! I know that your post has created alot of conversation that was directly or indirectly discussion related to your intital question, but i would like to say (and i apologize in advance if this comes out as presumptuous) that this is an incredible thread that you have created. No worries! You should never regret trying to create discussion/what if scenarios about the series that you like/love. I get the idea that nobody here has any ill will towards another. It is impressive how the topic of female DQ protagonists can bring forth so many valid viewpoint concerning how to implement these changes. I'm surprised I didn't come uo with this topic! XD But any... To the topic at hand: DQ 1: I can easily see a female protagonist being in the game without drastically altering the story. Although the female hero wouldn't be able to marry the princess, it won't affect the story of DQ 2 since the original hero left alfegard to form a new kingdom anyway. The female hero could easily have children with any unnamed lad at any point after their kingdom is created. Though marrying a prince of tanegel could work as well if we want it to be really simple. DQ 2: Being able to start with the princess of moonbroke would be a great idea (since we would get an interesting perspective from the princess). In terms of being turn into a dog, you can give that role to the prince of hanncock. Hey, it is better than being turned into a coffin! The beginning of Moonbroke's gameplay could play out simular to CH 4 of DQ, where the player would need to rely on magic such as status spells to get by. DQ 5: Yeah, I can't find a good way to implement a female hero without majorly rewritting the story. I will leave the story as it is for now. DQ 6: Now this is where it get really interesting! We could either (1) Make Ashlynn the female protagonist since her story parallels with the DQ 6's story in term of the whole " self discovery" theme that the game portrays. It would be interesting to see some darker theme being handled when it comes to Ashlynn's journey. Or (2) Have a female version of the DQ 6's Hero. You would be able to keep alot of the same element of the original version of the game. Although the implied shipping between Ashlynn and the Hero might be lost, the female hero can have such a relation with terry or Carver. Because we all know how the fanbase feel about Carver . Regarding the Two Hero storyline with Tania and Buddy, here is an interesting proposal: Have the other half of the Hero be Male. This would along well with the theme of self discovery since We as human being often need to balance our masculine and feminine aspect of ourselves. This can allow the writing to be more flexible with a female hero while still retaining the main points of the original story. DQ 7: You can easily change the Hero's gender without sacrificing elements of the story. Only minor things such as Maribelle's crush on the hero might be lost, but that can be easily worked around. DQ 8: I believe that you could have a female hero and leave Maeda as a female. You can keep alot of the elements of the story since it is centered around hunting a villian. A lesbian relationship would oddly work in the story's favor since it would add to the conflict that Maeda and Trode face regarding Charmles. What would they rather face? A Mutual loving relationship between the princess of trodian and famed herorine of the kingdom/ Heiress to the throne of Aragon at the cost of any potential children? ( Or ) A miserable relationship involving a spoil despicable manchild who is clearly not worthy of the throne and would sent both kingdoms into the grave? Apologies for the lengthy read. Hope that I was able to proper anwer your question!

Hello everyone! Here is a topic that is probably not talked about alot! Thoughout the dragon quest games, one of the series greatest strengths is the dialogue and Non Playable Characters that fleshes out the world to its fullest. Here a interesting question: Who are some of your favorite NPC in the series? Some of my favorites would be in Zenithia(DQ 4) where we meet a female angel would is heavily implied to be the hero's mother. It really shows how tragic the hero's back story is. For a much lighter hearted example: i enjoy the classic " old man who wants to class change in a female maid" in every dq game with a class system. It is just some that you look foward in finding.

Hello, all! Throughout my experiences as a Dragon Quest fan, I have seen many kinds of thoughts and "opinions" regarding various DQ related media (twitter, reddit, youtube, etc.). Some of it can be fantastic and full of live, while others...can be Pleasant to say the least. So my question this time is: what are common things/comments that you constantly see related to Dragon Quest that gets on your nerves? (For ex. : new DQ 11 related info is released on the DQ twitter account--> "Cool. When are we getting [unreleased dq game] on the [desired handheld/console, usually the Switch]?" )

Hey, everyone! So with anticipation of the next mainline DQ game heading towards the west, a increasing number of newcomers are slowly becoming more interested in the series. If DQ XI does well, it is possible that a good number of newcomers from DQ XI will want to explore other games in the series. So with that being said: *What DQ games would you, as the experienced fan of the series, recommend a newcomer to start with? I know that this topic has technically been covered before, but i am going to add a bit of a twist to this topic: * What DQ games would you recommend against for a newcomer of the series, and what are your reasons for it?

Yeah, i know. Memory lanes was a pleasant experience to finish but some of the bosses got a bit out of hand with some of the attacks (evil jessica for one). However, like Yangus, i do enjoy how memory lane gave importance to team composition; it really gave the characters a chance to shine (in my case it was yangus, red and morrie). Also...praise dance of life and morrie's boomerang skills!

Hmmm...Interesting! One of the new feature for the western release is a new hard mode for experienced players! This peaked my interest so. If it is a fun challenge like DQ 6( and not like DQ 8 memory lane), then it can be a fun time! (Also...without spoilers...does anyone know how difficult the original version of XI was?)

As for me... 1) Back when i firsted played DQ8, i used to like Jessica (or at least didn't mind her) mainly because she made a good impression with her joining time despite not really getting proper development. Nowadays, i am kind of disappointed, if not a bit uncomfortable, mainly due to missed opportunities to develop her character and because of the uncomfortable implications concerning her relationship with her brother. 2) I remember the days that i used to dislike Deborah for being mean, rude, and treating the hero like a servant (which came out as worse considering the hero's history). Nowadays, i realized that Deborah's initial behavior was purposely written that way (since she was the joke character). I warmed up to her character and actually like her now. Deborah is pretty hilarious and goes through some pretty great character development( something that i like about both the sisters). Plus using hela's hammer is great in more ways than one .

Hey everyone! So throughout the many discussion regarding the many aspects of the series(such as characters, story, etc.), but there has been occasional talks about the future settings and direction the series can possibly take; one of this being a dragon quest game that takes place in a sci-fi setting , or in simple terms: Dragon Quest in space. So my questions are: (1) If the developers wanted to go towards that direction, how can they implement these changes while still making it feel like a Dragon Quest game? And: (2) What would you like to see in a sci-fi centered Dragon Quest game?

Hey everyone! It has been a while, but i finally thought of a topic woth discussion. So my questions are: Are they any characters that you initially dislike but come to warm up to as time went by? And why so? (And) Is there a character than you previously liked but,after a long period of consideration, started to dislike or like less than you did before?

Hey everyone! I know that there has been discussions about our favorite characters and monsters, but how about discussions regarding both? So my main questions this time are: (1) What would be an ideal monster team for some of your favorite Dragon Quest characters? (Ex. Nera- a slime based team: Seaslime, angel slime, and King Slime. ) (Or) (2) Create the most ridiculous monster team possible. Now try to imagine a possible reason why your favorite characters might go along with this team. (Ex. Nera- Abstract Beauty: Overkilling machine for the coolness, Hell lion because it is an misunderstood kitten, and a box slime because....well, you can't help trying to figure out how this type of slime exist.)

I think DQ builders 3 won't be based on the 3th game mainly because, chronologically, the DQ 3's event already occurred (since it is first in the trilogy). I think that DQ builders 3 should be based on DQ 6. They could do so much the the dreams idea.

Hey everyone! Hope everyone has a great new years! With that out of the way, i have two rather interesting builders questions: (1) Since DQ builders 2 is in development, what would you to see in this sequel( story wise, gameplay changes, etc)? (2) For a potential DQ builders 3, which game in the Zenithian trilogy should the game take place at?

Woah. That sounds...actually really exciting! Dragon Quest will feel right at home with this crossover. So what kind of characters would you want to get in first? Also, is there any unique twist that you like to see from this crossover?
