Dragon Quest

Dragon Quest is the granddaddy of JRPGs—the one with the blue slime mascot, the silent hero, and the townspeople who never sleep. Since the ‘80s, it’s been serving turn-based battles, awkward armor designs, and charmingly old-school fantasy vibes. You’ll grind levels, fight monsters with goofy grins, and save the world for the 11th time—probably with a sword named something dramatic. It’s cozy, colorful, and full of those “talk to every villager or you’ll miss the key” moments. If Final Fantasy is the flashy younger sibling, Dragon Quest is the chill older brother who’s been doing it forever—and still rocks.
