Should I play Final Fantasy 5 or Dragon Quest 4 ?

DQ IV (orihinal version) then FF V (original version). Now fuck off.

Do you have cancer? Do you have like 1 week left to live that you can only play one more RPG?

>>11822829 (OP)
You're better off playing FF4 and DQ5

>>11822829 (OP)
every DQ game is better than FF slop

>>11822940
This is mostly true.

>>11822829 (OP)
DQ4 is better

>>11822829 (OP)
They are both worth playing but FF5 has more replay value.

>>11822829 (OP)

Both are really good but I'd say FFV.

DQ5 has best girl of the whole franchise.

Why is everyone on /vr/ playing Dragon Quest today?

>>11822940
FF5 is respectable though

>>11823630
its a mainstream series as far as retro JRPGs go. I mean for retro game nerds

>>11823630
japs love it and /vr/ is weebs

>>11822940
I really don't understand people like this. Like how do you enjoy Dragon Quest and then get snobby about people enjoying classic FF? It's such a weird bit of tribalism

>>11822940
Word filter "slop".

>a series with shitty broken mechanics and awful translations for every game
>soars in popularity in the west
>a series with well designed, functioning mechanics and a fairly excellent localization job for its time
>remains in relative obscurity to this day
You really don't see why fans of the latter would resent the former?

I think you're the only one with this problem though

The issue is more FF makes you feel like living a power fantasy where you can just Ultima nuke every enemy on screen, but in DQ every end-game random battle feels like the final boss since you a) can't restore MP, b) don't have giga-God powers and have to resort more to status effects, which gets very repetitive. People don't like that feeling of powerlessness in video games.

>>11822829 (OP)
Both, you literally picked my favorite FF and DQ

>>11824202
The people on this board think that you need to join a team then defend their team from the enemy instead of talking about games.

>>11824974
So there is no reason, its just seething. Both series are allowed to have good games, Anon-kun.

FF5 doesn't even have ultima. Honestly the level 3 elements are the strongest multitarget spells for the most part, aside from a few blue spells. Your complaint literally seems to hinge on "the games are too easy" which can easily be rectified by having some willpower and not optimizing the fun out of the goddamn game.

Like the whole "metallica(final fantasy) is overrated, real metal heads listen to megadeth" thing?
