Hey, Im not an avid RPG player, but I wanted to give this genre a try, and the 2 titles that stuck out the most for me were Dragon Quest IV and Dragon Quest V.

The problem is, they are both out now, and I dont know if I should start with IV or V. Starting with IV would be obious, but 1up gave V an A+.

which would be the best game to start with? (please dont just say ""they both suck, get [insert title here])

Well, i'd prefer to go in order, and so i would suggest IV first over V, expecialy because V is the better game, so it's best to play the best ones last, you apprecicate each one then. ;)

Edit: Both are fantastic, don't get me wrong, IV & V are both amazing and you cant go wrong with any, but i'd reccomend going in order, so start with IV (it's cheaper now) and get V after.

A lot of people have been asking that question, even me! After some research I decided to start with IV because IV, V, and VI do have some connections.

I've not played either, but you might as well start with IV. If you happened to be an old-school RPG fan, you probably would have played DQ IV already, so DQ V might make more sense, as it's a game that's never been released in North America before. But seeing as you're not a huge fan of the genre anyway, you might as well start with IV. If you're looking for other old school RPGs, I'd also recommend Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy IV, both for the DS. And for a more modern RPG, The World Ends with You kicks some serious butt.

Well Gamespot has Dragon quest IX (DQ9) slated for a late March release. Whether or not that holds true remains to be seen, as Square has not actually promoted the game on their website as of yet. I wouldn't expect DQ VI until at earliest Holiday 09.
