I loved playing Dragon Quest 4 oh about 20 years ago. I thought the chapter system was really well done. You got to focus on the story of many different characters. When they finally all get together into one party, it just felt amazing.
Always wanted to get into the series more, but just never really came up. I recently went though DQ1 throught 3 on my phone and really enjoyed them although the ending of 3 was getting to be quite the slog and I needed to look up help on where to go quite a bit.
I would love a recommendation on what to try next to get back into the series.
