I mean, I respect the hell out of it for basically inventing JRPGs, having great music and art, and some of my favourite series are parodys of it (Earthbound/Mother).

But lord help me, I just cannot get into this series. It's stories and world building suck. It's so very, very chuddy in its values and characters. All about birthright and bloodlines (Something that's putting me off the Zelda and Fire Emblem series too as I get older). It's also got that Square Enix sexism stink that I find myself being less tolerant of the older I get.

Please feel free to roast me for this opinion, it's just my personal preference after all.

If you like the Dragon Quest series I would love to hear why, because I want to like it. Maybe I just haven't played the right one. I've only played 8 to completion on the PS2 back when I was a kid, and I tried the Demo of 11 but wasn't really gelling with them changing the iconic presentation of their battles, if that makes sense (a nitpick, I know)

This game is super queer, and it proves that people complaining about wokeness ruining games are full of shit.

But also Trump won because the "evil, stupid uncivilized masses" are all right-wing transphobes so the Dems have to be more right-wing next erection to sway voters?!

Am I getting this correct?

The portrayal of m1nx.

You expect the place to be chuddy nightmare like modern troll spaces tend to be. But these guys are more like the old-school lefty hackers. It's a side of the internet not often portrayed in modern media, especially when 40 year old Connie finds them out and posts on their forum, they don't harrass her, they're more impressed than anything. (It's also worth noting a lot of the first programmers and hackers were woman as it was considered woman's work.)

Particularly re3koning_inc, who while seemingly abrasive, they're only really snide towards Dylan Merchant and Merchantsoft in general, and when you consider what happens in the game you can see the rudeness is completely justified. re3koning_inc also sends people free copies of Merchantsofts Hypnocure Pro after Merchantsoft took away functionality of certain pages and made it so you could only see them with their pricey pro version of the antivirus. re3koning_inc is also the one that finds proof that Hypnospace is dangerous before anyone else, and tries to warn everyone (and was sadly ignored). They're a type of character I have seen many times during my many years on the internet, but one I almost never see portrayed in media.

What a great fucking story this game has.
