I should defend my picks here:

1 - DQ1 gets respect for being OG, but 2 words: Custom Party

2 - Loved DQ2 as a kid, but it aged like sour milk. DQ's gloomy atmosphere is strong, but FF2 is the better game

3 - Even the most hardcore FF fanboi will agree that DQ3 is superior in every way.

4 - Tough choice, I wouldn't argue too hard if (You) think FF4 is better. But I like the tighter story, love the tragic sacrifice to start Chapter 5 and the "main villain switch" blew my mind as a kid. I don't mind the "Tactics" system, but some hate it. Both games are great.

5 - Also close.

6 - Even the most hardcore DQ fanboi isn't going to argue this one. Fuck off contrarians.

7 - Same. I don't like FF7 at all, but from pure cultural impact on the vidya industry, it deserves its "GOAT contender" status.

8 - Both games have great qualities, but FF8 has some terrible qualities too. This is where the FF series became movies instead of games.

9 - DQ9 is a great game with weak DS art, FF9 is a weak game with maybe the best RPG art ever. I'd rather play DQ9 but FF9 is too beautiful. Tie

10 - FF wins by default, but even if you count the online meh of DQ 10, FFX is the better game.

11 - FF series just keeps getting worse and worse. Sometimes "don't fix what isn't broken" is the smart move.
