How would you rank the mainline games you've played?

Basically, as the title says. I've got the itch to play another dragon quest game and would like to know how well regarded the ones are I didn't play yet compared to the ones I've played. Although I'll probably play IV in preparation for the upcoming DQM game, as I love those, maybe I've got time for two. Anyways, here's my list:
- DQ V (DS version)
- It's got the overall best story thus far and includes monster taming, which I really liked. Overall just one of my favorite games.
- DQ VII (PS)
- I'm oddly fond of VII. I'll acknowledge that it probably is not better than some of the following ones on paper, but it just clicked with me. I really like the beginning part of RPGs and VII got several of those with how disconnected it is at times.
- DQ XI (Switch)
- I loved every second of XI and would probably rank it higher if the post-game wouldn't do what it does. While I really liked them later on, the Hero and both twins started off quite bland.
- DQ VIII (3DS)
- The game itself is still really good, but it never grasped me with its story as the ones above did at times.
- DQ IX (DS)
- IX never clicked with me at all. Having only silent no-names in you party already started off bad, but the overall story wasn't my cup of tea either. I generally like class systems, but this one didn't do it for me either.
