I will say that there's something about the Dragonquest games that get me from the get-go.
I would never EVER in a million years nominate a single Dragonquest game for any top ten lists, because of the simple, grind-it-out formula. But, iunno, maybe because they stick to that formula they have more time to commit to the atmosphere. Dragonquest VIII got me from the very beginning because I loved the how big and colorful the world felt. I mean, its really not that large of a game world. Its big, but not like, super big. But I loved exploring that world, it just felt really nice, the colors caught my attention, the music really fit the mood. Its nothing more than just another turn-based RPG but I loved it from wire-to-wire.
Dragonquest V got me that way too, but that only because I'm a sucker for "Kid to Adult" time skips.
