What do you guys think about 5? Is it overrated? To me it didn't hit the way DQ4 hit me, and I have to wonder if it's because 5 was hyped up to be the greatest thing ever. I love the concept, but I feel like for this specific story, having a silent protagonist just doesn't work. I also wasn't a particular fan of the final boss having no real presence until you actually see him. To clarify, he's just spoken about and that's pretty much it. Other DQ villains like Corvus, Psaro, Zoma and Orgodemir had an actual presence/action in the world. I guess Calasmos did too, but everything about the past and his involvement feels too vague to include him with the others.

I only played a chunk of 8, but is that one also overrated due to nostalgia or is it genuinely THAT great of a game?
