The first nes game is very short as opposed to final fantasy 1, it feels alot like a demo. There is a level cap of about 30 and only one party member. My first dragon quest game was a handheld in the monster series on game boy, but for a full blown dragon quest game, 5 is really dungeon crawling heavy. Like you havent seen dungeon crawling until youve played 5. 7 is nice and long, i would go with that one if you can find it, 4 is supposed to be good, 3 is rumored to be really good, 8 is alright, the cel graphics make it look like dragonball z. XD 8 has an alchemy weapons and items system that you have to mess with until you get the hang of it unless you look online for the recipies. Its fully 3d so i found myself getting lost for hours but its open world so you can litterally go anywhere. So play 3, 7, or 8. 5 if youre feeling sadistic. XD

 

The beautiful thing about dragon quest is that it rarely changes but it knows what works, what makes an rpg at it's corel go for it. XD you will not be dissapointed.
