Todo jogo de missão de dragão, classificado do pior ao melhor

Autor: Anônimo Data de Atualização: April 13, 2025

While Final Fantasy may be the first RPG series most people think of when they think of JRPGs, Dragon Quest dominates in Japan. Each release is considered a national holiday in the country, so let's rank each mainline game in the series from worst to best.

Since there are multiple different versions of each game, we will be noting which version is appearing on this list. Sometimes, this is due to some versions being localized while others weren't, while other times, it's because a later rerelease may be inferior to the original one. We're aiming to look at what's considered the best version of each game so it's easy to compare each installment at its best.

With that being said, here's our ranking of every Dragon Quest game from worst to best.

11) Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Online (2012)

Dragon Quest X is a weird game in several ways. First, it's an MMORPG, a first in the series, and one that was released on the Wii and Wii U of all things before coming to PC. And… that's all we can really say about the game. Despite the popularity of the franchise, the game was never released outside of Japan, so the average Western gamer has never played it. It's hard to say if players would have gelled with the grindy nature of an MMO, especially one limited by the hardware capabilities of the Wii, making Dragon Quest X a curiosity more than anything else.

10) Dragon Quest II: Luminaries of the Legendary Line (1987)

While you could argue that the original Dragon Quest is more dated, Dragon Quest II is rougher to play. Ele acrescentou mecânica suficiente para tornar a sequência uma experiência mais jogável e você pode controlar uma festa agora, em vez de fazer isso solo, o que ajuda ao combater os grupos de inimigos que você encontra. There are more spells and items to use, but the game's biggest problem is its crippling difficulty. Even by old-school standards, II is so hard you'll probably drop it from frustration before reaching the end of the game. If you're going to play it, track down the updated Game Boy version, which is still a challenge but not as brutal as the NES one.

9) Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (2000)

The biggest sin of Dragon Quest VII is how bloated it is. While earlier games were short and brief affairs, VII runs nearly 100 hours, with gameplay that doesn't really evolve much over that time. Combine isso com muitos encontros aleatórios, aqueles que são ligeiramente mitigados no remake do 3DS e um enredo que passa lentamente devido à maneira como a história avança com cada nova região que você explora, e você tem um jogo que parece positivamente glacial às vezes. It's not a frustrating game, but it most certainly is a dull one.

8) Dragon Quest (1986)

There are classic JRPGs, and then there's Dragon Quest. It's honestly a very basic experience no matter which version you play, but there's a certain charm in its simplicity. All fights are one-on-one affairs, and your magic system is incredibly simple, as are its visuals. Sim, este é um jogo muito datado, que será extremamente difícil para os fãs de entradas mais recentes entrarem, mas se você estiver na mentalidade certa, este JRPG básico arranhará uma certa coceira.

7) Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation (1995)

Released in the United States only on the DS, Dragon Quest VI is a straightforward but efficient game. The class system continues from earlier games, and the story is satisfying, if a bit unspectacular. The most notable thing about VI is its dream world that's not dissimilar from Link to the Past's light world and dark world, but that's about all it has going for it. Again, this isn't a revolutionary game, but it hits all of the beats you would expect from a Dragon Quest game.

6) Dragon Quest III: Seeds of Salvation (1988)

Dragon Quest III is one of the most important JRPGS of all time. It may not seem like that given its muted Western release, but in Japan, this game is iconic. How iconic? Well, out of all of the games in the series to receive an HD remake, Square opted for this entry before the first or even V and VIII. The game has a fair amount of replayability thanks to its new class system and the ability to change classes after a certain point in the game. It's still a relatively simple story, but unlike the earlier games, it's much more accessible.

5) Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies (2009)

Dragon Quest IX is a landmark game in the series for a handful of reasons. It was a multiplayer-focused game, but unlike Dragon Quest X , it was released globally and really benefitted from being on the DS. Os recursos do Wi-Fi-Fi-Fi-FI-FIDENTEMENTEMENTE COOPRIGADO E INTERAÇÃO, Mesmo que levasse algumas horas para desbloquear, mas deu ao jogo sua própria identidade única. Ele ainda tem um pouco, especialmente se você estiver jogando o jogo no single-player, que agora é a única maneira de jogar o jogo, mas, para o seu tempo, é um jogo portátil sólido e divertido que realmente usou o máximo do sistema.

4) Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen (1990)

Like most of the early games in the series, Dragon Quest IV built upon what the earlier NES games had established. A maior diferença, porém, é que a história é muito mais autor e adaptada do que as entradas anteriores, divididas em capítulos menores, onde cada membro do partido é estabelecido antes de se reunir para o último capítulo. Live-A-Live and Octopath Traveller definitely have some DNA from Dragon Quest IV , so if you like those games, you'll like Dragon Quest IV. It's a very traditional Dragon Quest game that plays exactly how fans of the series would expect it to, but if you had to choose which version to play, go for the DS story with its better presentation.

3) Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (2004)

For the longest time, Dragon Quest has had an inconsistent presence in the West, but with Dragon Quest VIII, the franchise finally broke through to Western audiences. Maybe it was because it was bundled with a demo for Final Fantasy XII, but players who picked up VIII were treated to a colorful and vibrant world. While the story isn't much to write home about, the gameplay was ever so slightly more complex thanks to mechanics like the tension system. For the first time since the series was released back in the '80s, Dragon Quest VIII felt like a major leap forward for a series that by this point had become stagnant. Yes, there is a 3DS version, but the PS2 version is the best version of this iconic JRPG.

2) Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (1992)

Versão 1.0.0

Much like Dragon Quest III, V is an absolutely iconic entry in the series, both in terms of gameplay and plot. A história é um épico de varredura de várias gerações, onde você consegue controlar uma família à medida que eles crescem, se casam, têm filhos e se juntam para salvar o mundo. The DS version adds additional complexities to the story, making it the most complete version for new players. As for the gameplay, being able to add monsters to your party that you can tame and train was a nice addition that added depth to your party. This one is undeniably the best of the classic games in the series.

1) Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age (2017)

While you can argue about the historical importance of earlier games, Dragon Quest XI is by far the best game in the series, especially if you picked up the Definitive Edition. Ele tem tudo para satisfazer os fãs antigos e novos, incluindo modelos 3D brilhantes e coloridos, a capacidade de mudar para sprites 2D na queda de um chapéu e uma pontuação totalmente orquestrada. The story isn't amazing, but the characters are well-developed and entertaining to interact with in your party. It's the easiest game to play thanks to its modern sensibilities, including finally removing random encounters. If you're going to play only one game in the series, make it Dragon Quest XI.

And that's every Dragon Quest game, ranked from worst to best.

Dragon Quest games are available for purchase on the Square Enix website.
