Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't know about that, I mean, the only ones I have played are the original and the sequel on the NES. I loved the sequel more cuz you get to control 3 characters instead of just one. Another thing is that some stuff in the game are very tough to obtain. For example, I never got a certain item that was only obtainable by beating the metal slimes. I can't remember the name of it... At least I managed to beat DW2, he-he.
Say, Dragon Warrior and Dragon Quest are the same thing, right? I ask cuz I saw a review of Dragon Quest 8 on EGM in December 2005. Too bad it was for PS2... cry

I thought they were the same thing... I don't know where I heard this but, I did hear that Dragon Quest was the original Japanese name and that the translation was Dragon Warrior. It makes sense to me cuz I have the original American version of the second one for the NES and it is called Dragon Warrior 2, not Dragon Quest 2.
But you know, some people can handle the same thing over and over again. Take the "Tetris" lovers for instance, those games don't feel like they ever change and they still get people to buy/play them. I don't like those kinds of games cuz they feel like the very SAME thing over and over again. However, as for RPGs and stuff, as long as they have different characters, a different storyline and a similar battle system, I'm game! mrgreen

I have Dragon Warrior I and II for Gameboy colour, after I got Dragon Warrior III. I thought it was funny that all the characters looked like DBZ characters. But I'm stuck in III, I need that stupid yellow Orb. I haven't played in a while. >.<
I also have Dragon Warrior Monsters and then the Tara's Adventure one. I got all the way up to the end and discovered that I was so underleveled I'd have to start over again. That's the second time, I played through an entire game only to discover that I'm way too underleveled.

I like them keeping the battle system the same, it's like it's trademark. You know you're playing this kind of game when you play it. And it's easier to remember too. Then better graphics come around and mess everything up.

Nope, no graphic can make the game. the graphics for some of the best games are usually polygoned. The Dragon Warrior games look like pokemon for the gameboy(original) and the Legend of Zelda games on the gameboy.

I have the Dragon warrior monster games, also have the Last 2 installments in the series, VII and VIII. In monster, the key is breed and not try to level much until the end, when you can kill metal kings. Always choose your roles for your monsters accordingly. Keep healing skills to all characters, just in case, and keep 2 monsters with the revive skill. Specify which monsters get what ability: High attackers should get attack skills, such as squall hit and multicut, High intel monsters should get teh best magic skills, such as Gigaslash and Megamagic.

200 monsters. They are obtained by killing them and charming them with meat, unlike pokèmon and the pokèball. Only down side is the max number of spaces for monsters is 3 in a party and 38 in the farm.

Your sister gets captured by a monster named Watabou, who says that she is needed to help win the starry night tournament. You run off with the monster Warabou to give chase. You enter the kingdom of great tree and participate in the tournament as a monster warrior.

The starry night tournament's winner gets to be granted one wish of anything.

Ive only played the game for about 2 months now, but the BEST and ONLY way to get good monsters is by breeding. I'll list the formula used to determine the breeding stats:

Pedigree stats/2 + Mate's stats/4 = Child's Base stats.

Pedigree is the first monster you choose to breed. It determines the type and mixtures that the monster's child will become. The mate helps to determine the mixture. The child is automatically eligible to learn all natural skills of its parents, plus its classes own skill set. It can learn up to 9 skills, and the skills level determined upon your stats:

Magic spells= High Intel and MP
Physical skills= High Hp, High Atk, High Agi
Defensive skills= High HP and High Def

Skills can also be combined:

MegaMagic= lvl 3 fireball, lvl 3 blizzard, lvl 3 wind, lvl 3 earth plus the skill's stat requirements

Gigaslash= All slashes and All lvl 3 magics.

Most of this can be found in gamefaqs, where I obtained this info. If you do get it, you start with a slime, who automatically has the class skill Megamagic, so its advisable to keep him.
