>>483172338I have never played III. Does any party composition really work? What you'd recommend ?
>>483172798Warrior/Priest/Mage is the default set and works well, but most compositions are pretty viable. Speaking for the existing versions, obviously.
Leave the Demon Lord to us!
>>483172798Most work, aside from meme combinations like all jesters or something. But even those can work with the right preparation and patience.
>>483172798Any composition will work. People can beat the game solo pretty handily so any additional party member is just a bonus.
>>483173340They are so far away! Do we really leave it to them, /dqg/?
1 hungry Serena could defeat any number of pips.
>>483174878Perhaps but can we really leave the Demon Lord to her?
>>483175509She will eat the demon lord.
>>483180395She can eat my demon lord if you know what I mean
X!!!!
>>483180804I am not understanding your meaning.
Post your 2D-HD wishlists:>New DQ1 dungeon>Full DQ1 map in DQ2>Recruitable Ryu in DQ2
>>483187251>Kandar Party member>Expanded lore on Baramos and Zoma>Post Game Ortega party member>Second form Zoma (which was cut)>Expanded map with new locations in both realms>More Puff Puff
pregnant gwaelin sex minigame
If they flesh out some plot to make 1 and 2 longer, that'd be nice. I beat both within a weekend. All 3 games deserve to be expanded upon
Threadly reminder to spoiler take things from I-III. Unironically this game is going to have a lot of new people so we need to be nice and let them have it untainted.
Instead of posting silly bait, post cute Alenas
I'd agree if they had released I+II+III together but they aren't.
>>4831902781 and 2 are probably gonna be early next year.
>>483190516IIRC they said there's going to be a saved import from III to I to II so I guess the new way is now that order.
>>483191476That sounds made up
Square Enix always laments that people don't buy DQ but it's their own damn fault. The SE store right now has nothing DQ in the front page.
>>483191629NTA but in the direct he did say 312, I havent seen that save data thing mentioned elsewhere though
>My hands on review of Dragon Quest III>Now let me start by saying I haven't played dragon quest before...Why didn't Square get at least one fucking person who knows the series?
Pick one
>>483195420The one that lets me marry Debora.
>>483195696I don't think Fiveo would let you marry his wife.
>>483195860I am Five-kun.
>>483195957Hey Five-kun fun fact. When it comes to Nera, Bianca and Debora, Debora has the least amount of NTR hentai drawn of her. Infact she has the most wholesome ones.
queen of /dqg/
>>483196541She loves Five too much for NTR
>>483197920>Fucks Five >Still makes him sleep on the floor.
>>483198079the floor builds character
My cute, loyal wife who hogs the bed and eats all the breakfast
she's so cute...
Unironically would you anons actually want a wife like Debora? A huge bitch most of the time and extremely dominant during sex.
>>483198904Yes, of course.
>>483198904Yes.
>>483198904She might eat me out of house and home
Does this make sense?
>>483200978IX probably should take place after everything, but its existence alone kind of makes it difficult to gauge as a timeline. VIII at least would always take place after III, regardless of placement
>>483200978No.
>>483189732>a lot of new peopleAnon, the day DQ gets "a lot of new people" is never coming.
>>483201621>>483201880Then how would you rearrange it?
>>483189732Fuck off
>>483203026There's only one timeline
>>4832030261. XI doesn't split into two timelines2. VIII and VII are set in their own worlds and it's silly to apply linear time to those because of weird crossover events3. If you're counting Caravan Heart you might as well count Heroes and break the whole thing (see point 2)
>>483203121SHOW IT!
>>483203702Franchise owner said it. No, I am not searching for the quote. Fuck off
>>483203649>>483203121Then where do IV-VI fit in?
>>483203026There are no multiple timelines in XI. Everything converged into one.XI -> III -> I -> IIVI -> IV -> V (Swords somewhere in here since Fleurette appears in the remakes.)X -> IX (Might be the other way around, I forgot.)VIII plays in its own world. Ramia travels between worlds.VII plays in its own world. There are some connections to II in spin-offs and mangas, but eh.

>>483203702https://youtu.be/7vi8caq1UHE?t=7091主人公が過去に戻った後、世界はどうなったのですか?>Q: What happened to the world after the protagonist returned to the past?堀井雄二: これはね、パラレルワールドなのかっていう質問が来ててね。あの残された仲間たちはどうなるんだって。Yuji Horii: There's a question asking if this is a parallel world. What happens to the comrades left behind?堀井雄二: 僕的にはね、なんとなくこの歴史は収縮するていうか、1個にまとまっていくのかなっていう。例えば、そのセニカがそのとばした時に、仲間の一人がこのシーンあったような気がするって言うんですね。ということは、かすかに記憶が残ったりするんで。Yuji Horii: For me, it's like history somehow converges and becomes one. For example, when Senica (Serenica) is transported, one of the comrades says they feel like they've seen this scene before. This means that faint memories remain.堀井雄二: パラレルワールドじゃなくて、1個の歴史にこう…Yuji Horii: Rather than being a parallel world, it all comes together into a single history...
>>483205563Thank god for that. If it was the same kind of time travel as Dragon Ball it would have been depressing.
>>483205563based horii
>>483206074Imagine. lol
>>483205563>>483206613>>483204069WHAT ABOUT THE SWORDS THOUGH?
Shitbora...
>>483206729A neat reference? It's not like they haven't done it before.
>>483206613Ìsn't this the official timeline though?
What was a Namekian doing in Dragon Quest V?
All timelines lead to Trunks impregnating Mai. Even the DQ ones.
>>483195341cause there's no western eceleb or journo that ever did
>>483206935The timeline I posted just counts how many timelines have been created if you go by the rule that Dragon Ball has established, including the extra one that was created by the Universe 12 time traveller.The official one they posted for the Anime doesn't make sense, and I haven't read the Manga in a while, so I won't say anything about it.I still can't get over how stupid the Anime was.>Trunks travels back in time.>Goku Black follows him and fights Goku.>That leads to the investigation and the fight between Goku and Zamas.>That fight triggered Zamas so hard he became Goku Black.So Goku Black coming to the past created him in the present. That makes no fucking sense whatsoever.And um, Midenhall will have MP. haha
>>483206893sick sword
>>483206613What happens after Cell kills Trunks? Does Babidi show up unopposed?What happens when the Androids are just deactivated and Goku lives? Does Cell just mope around forever in his weakest form?What happens when Cell wins? Is he the one who has to deal with Babidi? Also, why dies the person who made this image even think there is such a timeline?What happens without Trunks and Black? Does Zamasu just dick around with nobody to fuse with?What happens when Black is created? Does nobody try to figure out what the hell happened?

I'll take the retarded official version over the daddy issues furry youtuber
>>483211243>daddy issues furry youtuberwot
>>483210584I'm 27 minutes in... Dragon Ball is fucking retarded.
>>483206840Only one solution
>>483212707It's okay, only the original manga is canon.
>>483214657I never watched or read it. I needed some background noise and the video was good for that.
I'm glad this is how people form opinions about things now
>>483216246In Dragon Ball's case, the fanbase is so divorced from the source material that everything feels like complete headcanon or interpretation. I read the manga since it was actually good. Nothing else has really kept my attentionIt's why I'm not really big on Square Enix trying to push spinoffs over the source material. How I through ||X|| aren't on Steam is beyond me, especially when you have all the numbered Final Fantasies and then some

>>483217963she cute
https://youtu.be/SNnsG2hTydY&t=230:23 - 1:30 kills me every time. I get a borderline indescribable feeling of sadness, hope, worry, and wishfulness at the same time. Like wanting to hold something or someone dear that never existed and never will exist.It's only that specific version that triggers it, too.
>>483223007damn anon
>>483198631Cute as she may be she's still only 3rd best DQX girl behind Mereade and Anlucia.
>>483230453Boss Troll looks kinda off.
>>483230493They messed up his DSL's
How many sleepies until DQIIIHD2D?
>>483231328Like 140. Sorry not gonna ritual post for that long.
>>483217963Would
This is the timeline.>b-but my computer science-This. Is. The. Timeline.
>>483230453The lips thing aside, the sprite animation looks nice. It's soooo nice to see the monsters animated
>>483245225>Dragon Quest IX: Where the Wild Things Weren't
>>483248769Priest chan why aren't you casting Kazing
okaysay i'm playing the EN dq3 translation for snesif i cast frizz to a group of 3 slimes, two of which i've already attacked, will the game automatically target the unharmed one so as to maximize damage?cause i've heard that the game actually does those calculations
>>483233430Based
>>48326499033 days until Maribel Quest.
>>483265481Nope
>>483172338Why does the trailer depicted empyrea instead of OG Ramia ?
I'm going to play dq3 gbc
>>4832654811 month devtime for a DQ game is nothing bro.
We're getting Aussie Erdrick, aren't we?Not just geographically, but accent too.
>>483287081In the mobile version it's the town next to Gaia's Navel or whatever it's called that's Australian. Aliahan is like Mu or something, it's not supposed to correspond to a real place
I can't imagine they'll make too many sweeping localization changes from the switch/mobile versions anyway. Though if there's voiced NPCs that will be an interesting experience with the accents...
>>483233430Why did they make it so that the only time the timeline is explained is the Zenithian Trilogy with VI being the prequel, IV the present day and V the sequel.All the others are in their own universes as far as I am concerned.
>>483287802It's a Kusarigama/Chain Sickle
>>483287827I just hope JP VA is an option...
>>483293716I think every single voiced game so far has had that option.
>>483293716Without a doubt, it will, the trailer was presented with japanese voices and Square Enix games modern games all have the option for voice acting langague
>>483256535I think yes but I think it actually prioritizes killing an enemy over damage output. So if the Frizz would wipe out one of the slimes it would pick the damaged slime. But can't recall it's been awhile.
>>483286436Crocobro witnessed >>483287081Crikey
>X (HD-2D)
>>483309780>Making Anlucia even flatter
>>483309908And her forehead even wider
>>483288340DQ's universe dies and resets are millennia. Each game is actually set several millennia apart, and some seem like prequels due to the nature of causality, but in reality, all of them are sequels.This also allows the spin-offs like Treasures and Builders to happen.
>>483208054>And um, Midenhall will have MP. hahreeeeeeeee
>>483223007>Like wanting to hold something or someone dear that never existed and never will exist.If you feel that way, then that something already exists, and you're already holding it.Music is a wonderful thing.
In Terry's Wonderland 3D do the monsters in your standby party actually gain more XP than the ones in your main team, or am I completely imagining that?
>>483206613>>483206935>>483208054The official DB timeline is>Timeline A The universe of the first Mirai Trunks and Cell. Completely dead aside from remaining humans, likely nothing happened here since there was no energy to revive Boo with (no great fighters outside of Beerus really).>Timeline BUnseen timeline where Cell never appears and the Artificial Humans are defeated through their shutdown switch. Trunks of Timeline A returns here and gets said switch, which is why Cell of A kills him.>Timeline CThe timeline created from Cell's time travel and the one we see in the anime, which itself creates;>Timeline DThe Mirai Trunks timeline we see in the narrative, created from Cell altering events due to a butterfly effect. This is the timeline Zamasu attacks, and it is erased by the end of the Goku Black arc.>Timeline EThe world where Zamasu steals Goku's body before time travelling.>Timeline FThe timeline created when Trunks and Mai time travel to prevent Shin's death in their original timeline (per the manga, the anime explanation is different but it is ultimately the same). >But what about the Zamasu being erased stuff?Because of how they found out about Zamasu, erasing him creates a paradox resulting in a newly created timeline due to Beerus' and Trunks' interference.Goku Black is not created because of him going back to the present. He was destined to be created because of Goku's showing in the U6vU7 tournament.Also, just so everyone knows, per the time patrol stuff, EVERYTHING IN DRAGON BALL IS CANON.
Is there any games out there you'd consider "honorary dragon quest" titles? Like, it just scratches the same itch or does similar things?
i think whis should have sent trunks and mai to the timeline where trunks died.
>>483322347Chrono Trigger
>>483318358This type of mental fuckery is why I despise time travelling (especially to the past) in storytelling
>>483311368
>>483203649Keifer is related to the DQ2 party so DQ7 is not in its own world.
>>483230453>a few moments earlier at SE HQ
>>483322347DQ clone battle mechanics in a dungeon crawler. Similar elegant simplicity to early DQ and a lot of its own charm.
Are the people who previewed III remake not allowed to talk about the new abilities or something? I’ve watched like 10 videos talking about it and none of them bring it up despite being by far the most significant change to gameplay.
>>483330303This annoyed me too, after some digging I found one. Link to my post in previous thread:>>482787354
>>483322347I got into SaGa precisely because I was looking for more games like DQ2 or 3 where there's a bunch of freedom in how you advance the main campaign. Not sure if I'd consider them 'honorary' but Romancing SaGa 2 and Minstrel Song more than delivered on that and then some, both now among my favorite games of all time.
>>483335431It is very annoying. They all spend like half the video sucking off the auto battle and speed up and never the one new thing that actually matters in the combat.
>>483349047Cute little shit
You anons know if Square got people from Japan to preview III too? Or is it just jrpgbaby westoids?
>>483349490Square doesn't need to advertise DQ in Japan. That's why the franchise has gotten shit reception here because they continue to believe DQ will sell without them putting any effort whenever they're told to try again after the last 10 failures
>>483343740thin veiled, DQ Tact post.I will never forgive the Japanese!
Hey anons. I've been wracking my brain on this one. Which DQ had this party island that ends up being full of monsters and enslaving everyone?
>>483350126VI.
>>483350782Thanks
>>483349714Would've been nice if they had gotten a DQ fan to preview.
>X
Who are these?
>>483357582Ortega and some other guy.
I really hope you can disable the full heal per level up.
Midenhall will have MP kek
>>483357582OUR HEROES
>tfw work is sending you back to Germany 11/13Those fuckers.
>>483368291That is some seriously unfortunate timing
looking back at early dragon ball, I can see a bit of Marle in Bulma whereas throughout Z and to current Lucca. I can't imagine a hairdo based on Ayla. Can you imagine Bulma with Ayla's hairdo?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuR8pCYSVLU
ramia's theme/heavenly flight is the greatest piece of video game music ever composedno, i will not be taking any questions or disagreements
>>4832068935 really needs a sequel.How in the fuck do you let a 7 year old slay the big evil and not have him going around and being like the heroes from 1 and 3 after that?Your son is the legendary hero but the story is clearly purple turban man's story.
>>483248769This makes me want a comic of an old Erdrick wearing the armor from DQ1 because technically it's supposed to be the same armor and writing out his will to his great great grandchild.
I slept for 3 hours because the public mower army appeared.
>>483288606I always find it funny to know that Meena knows how to use weapons like this and the mace.
>>483404981What's so-so funny about that, boy?
>>483415674*dong expand*I never played DQ3. Was female hero always a thing?
>>483420296Yes. She didn't have official art or a separate overworld sprite until the SFC version though, which is probably why she looks so similar to the male version (unlike IV's female hero, who had official art from the start and looks very different).Also hurry up and play DQ3, it's short and good.
>>483420514Great info post. I know i should and i was actually about to put everything aside and start but then they showed the Monster Master. Purists will hate me but i can lose my DQ3 virginity with an antguzzler bro by my side.
>>483422568Also, in DQ Rivals she had the same (JP) voice actress as Videl.
https://x.com/DragonQuest/status/1805617056387416451
Which character or vocation can equip the most different types of weapons, without considering leveling multiple vocations?That should be Act 2 Serena, right? She can equip heavy wands, wands, whips, and spears.
>>483428469Characters from before weapon types were codified will always have the advantage.
Anybody emulate Dark Prince? I'm not getting a constant 30 fps is there a specific Ryujinx build that it runs better on?
>>483428469in modern dq? yeh
>>483434554I played it on yuzu without any slowdown when it released. Are you playing on super resolution? Maybe change renderer to opengl see if that does something. If you play with controller i recommend playing on yuzu so you dont have to press ok with the mouse every single time you scout a monster.
>>483423672I always thought she looked like Videl as a kid so that's a neat touch.
>>483439461>If you play with controller i recommend playing on yuzu so you dont have to press ok with the mouse every single time you scout a monster.That is annoying the fuck out of me already. I dunno with Yuzu being shut down I don't really want to deal with it.
If you had to recommend one and only one Monsters game for somebody to play which one would you pick?
>>483439793https://youtu.be/1KfHh0ZRjLYDQM2
>>483440071Non meme answers only. Obviously it needs to be from the DS games onward.
>>483440231Commit kerplunk
>>483440347There's just no way I'd play one of the GBC ones. I booted up the original DQM the other day just to see what it was like and I'm sure back in 1998 I would have loved that game but 25 years later I'm not sitting through it.
>>4832039464 and 6 are part of the Zenithian Trilogy.6 happens first where the Zenithian Castle is born when the Dream World disappears and the Zenith Dragon is born in the epilogue.Then 4 happens ages later.Then 5 in the distant future.
>>483440071Did this get a remake?
I still think dragon quest 9 was peak.
>>483441828Yes, on PSX, 3DS, and Android/iOS.
>>483441910Speaking of DQ9 is there emulation fuckery that lets you play online multiplayer?
>>483442547Nah I think thats deader than dead even if it was a thing. If the game ever gets a remake the online aspect can be 'uge.
what's ten-kun doing in my monsters game?
>>483443339Man the humans in this game look like shit
>>483442547There never has been online multiplayer in 9. It's always been local multiplayer. And I don't think a tunnelling service was ever developed for DS.So either way, it's no.
>>483446165>There never has been online multiplayer in 9I'm aware. That's why I asked about emulation fuckery to make it play online.
>>483446249Yeah, I misread.
Playing 11, just got the boat. I went to costa whateva, forget the name and did some side quest and wasted 2000 gold on the casino not knowing what I was doing exactly lmao.Is there anywhere I should go before swordrust, or is it fine to just go there and proceed with the plot a bit?
>>483441910The Grottos carried this game
>>483447282Yer pretty much stuck following the plot at this point. You can go back to old areas to add them to your Zoom list, and there's an island you can visit with a recipe book on it. That's about it.
>>483440560DQM gbc is my favourite game but i understand when people think its too archaic. Play the fantranslated remakes on 3ds. Need a special version of citra to play it flawlessly though.If you like random dungeons play DQM1 if you want a world to explore play DQM2.
>>483448803>Need a special version of citra to play it flawlessly thoughExplain. It seems to be working well enough with the latest version on Citra's website.
Should I play III before the HD Remaster comes out since it seems like it's gonna change some things? If so, which version should I try?
>>483452672III NES is good but it's also an NES game which means for some people it's too tedious. But it's still good.III SNES is beautiful and very fun. Added content. Very well balanced. Translation patch is buggy.III GBC is basically the SNES version with GBC visuals and a little bit more content.III Switch is based on the mobile version which is based on the SNES game. Has a modern translation in line with new DQ games but is incredibly ugly.Up to you really. It's not too long of a game and it'll be nice to get the references. HD 2D version adds abilities so the combat/vocation system seems like it'll be more complex. But if you care about understanding the roots of the series/seeing the changes they make maybe give one of the older versions a shot.
>>483452672>Should I play III before the HD Remaster comes out since it seems like it's gonna change some things?Yes.>If so, which version should I try?Anything but the mobile port you can buy for Switch.
>>483454368You forgot the mobile version
>>483454368I'd say SNES is the best way to go into it
>>483455787And the PS4 version.
>>483456676That's JP only
>>483451174When you start DQM2 before you get into the main menu you get a black screen for like 30 seconds and also everytime the game loads a new environment. They changed some scheduler code and never reverted the change as far as i know. Did they actually fix it now?
>>483465936I just booted up Terry's Wonderland and loads are instant basically
>>483469221Well then anon, have fun.
Who is your favorite Dragon Quest monster and why is it Lump Wizard?
>>483473608Toffee monster...
>>483473608Lump Wizard is not the favorite monster of anyone in /dqg/.
>>483473982Nice!
>>483473608That's a funny way to spell Restless Armour
>>483474346This is your favorite DQ monster, what's yours?
For me, it's Dancing Devil
>>483474886>>483473608not my favorite but I unironically like him
>>483475670He seems like a pretty jolly fellow.
>>483475421This guy's got charm for sure.
>>483473608I just really like Cross Eye tbdesu
>>483473608/dqg/'s favorite monsters as cookies, circa 2020
>>483479297Holy shit I forgot about this
>>483479297My pick bottom right
>>483479297I'm glad we can agree /dqg/ is a Succubat general.
>>483479297A little surprised goody bag is so popular but the rest are solid picks and very well made.
>>483196541Seriously though, Debora is always faithful to Fiveo. Even in the NTR doujins https://e-hentai.org/g/429997/b2c34782e8/
>>483452672You should. Any version is fine though I'd recommend the SNES version. The carts aren't too expensive to purchase. I don't know why people on other forums are telling people to not play it. The remake is months out and it'll be more fun to see what has changed.
>>483488492>I don't know why people on other forums are telling people to not play it.Old thing bad, new thing good. New thing always better. Only play new thing.
>>483484193Goodybag only needed one fan to get a cookie. Anon just asked what /dqg/'s favorite monsters are and every response got made.
>>483455787The mobile ports are actually pretty decent, definitely better than the ugly switch ones if you want the modern localization but graphics more in line with the SNES versions and don't mind playing with touch controls

Hi
>>483587680I don't like this.
>>483587680Hi! How are you!
>>483587680>>483589048Why are these drackies so different? Purely socioeconomic factors?
>>483587680>fishyMy small fish-dracky...
>>483587680>>483589048Sup, gang?

I was watching direct reactions and I gotta say, some of these DQ3 reactions gave me such a huge laugh. So many people thinking zelda first, then acting hype over DQ, saying things like "YOOOO THIS IS HUGE", and hyping it all up, and here I am expecting them to say how they've been a long time fan and list off everything they played, only for them to go "Ive never played DQ before, MAYBE this will be my first!" And just things like that.
>>483616135To be fair, while I recognized it as Dragon Quest from the Godbird scepters, the circular patterns around the keepers reminded me of Skyward Sword's Gate of Time. I imagine that's what got a lot of people thinking Zelda at first.
>>483619778I only recognised DQ when Empyrea showed up tbqh. Sorry for being plastic, /dqg/
>>483619778
>>483619778I think people just saw the twins and thought of ALBWAlso stop watching reaction videos
>>483619778>>483620020It's certainly not a "The resemblance is uncanny!" situation, but I can see people making the connection. And Link Between Worlds had an art style similar to the twins themselves.>>483620340I never saw the appeal of it myself.
>>483620340>>483620695Here I am looking at the pattern and thinking about it's resemblance to Skyward Sword meanwhile there's much bigger similarity with the twins to ALBW and I completely missed it.The hell is wrong with me
>>483616135For other games, cultural osmosis is enough, but DQ doesn't really exist in the culture for people to say that.

>>483648323QRD?
>>483654359On DQ+? It's a remake of Dragon Quest in RPG Maker 2003. Has a lot of custom code, but was full of bugs on release. A lot of which got fixed, but I can't imagine it's perfect yet. /vr/ in particular really tore into it, saying it was poorly coded, but I don't know anything about that kinda stuff.Regardless, I still found it fun to play, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a first time play of DQ1.
>>483655167why would using 2000 be a flex? is there drama?
>>483655759Think about it. He's got a month to put together this game in RPG Maker 2000 for a game jam. If it comes out better quality than DQ+ which was in development for ten years, that's absolutely flexing on it. Intentional or not.

>>483687747yes definitely
>>483697729Poo in the looBrap in the lap
>>483655167>but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone as a first time play of DQ1Any reason? I just played through it a month or so ago as my first experience with DQ1, at least since I played the GBC version as a kid so long ago I remember nothing about it. Aside from questionable use of the Japanese names for towns and stuff it didn't seem too bad.
>>483687747Sure. It's not too long for an RPG so you won't have to wait long to get Monstering.>>483699870Not him but I wouldn't recommend it as a first experience for I simply because at the end of the day it's fanfiction and not the original experience. This is, of course, on top of the jankiness and rough original release (Which I guess doesn't matter as much now). Though I'd argue even if you at least played a bit of the original 20+ years ago that's still fine.
>>483699870holy shit taste
>>483687747I played it on my phone and thought it was good, you get used to the touch controls pretty quickly.
>>483647346Holy fug, Midori-chan has a body now!>>483649017AND SHE'S PLAYABLE?! This general is the best, truly.
>>483699870Partly because of the jank and partly because of things like adding in members of the community around as NPCs around the game.I'd only recommend it as a different way to experience the game after you've already played one of the official versions. I did like the original scenario in the post game, though the Monster Worlds did wear on me a bit. Especially after I realized they weren't really randomly generated.
>>483687747Do it and enjoy the party chat. Don't let the scottish accents in the first chapter filter you, it's a hurdle DQ had to overcome.
Thank you Gaben, very cool.
>>483726212Heroes 1&2 haven't gone on sale in years huh
>>483731325Is that because of KoeiTecmo? Do they not put games on sale?
>>483732310KT have their Warriors / Three Kingdoms games on sale right now.Might just be the Heroes games already broke even and SE figures if someone wants them they'll pay full price?
>>483697963>>483709513>>483715279>>483726036I will give it a go then, I will say, I just started and got to those accents and was hating it, but I will push past it lol
>>483739441the scottish accents are arguably the worst the games has. accents won't disappear completely, but they'll get better.
>>483739441The first chapter is short and it's the worst the whole series has to offer in written accents. Muscle through on your journey to defeat the demon king.
>>483709513>because at the end of the day it's fanfiction and not the original experienceThat's fair, when I first found out about it I thought it was a faithful remake with QoL improvements and it seemed like a good way to get me to play a game I might have otherwise skipped. Didn't know about translation changes or the postgame content and additions until I had already gotten started but it didn't bother me all that much because it was usually pretty clear what was original and what was added to it by the fangame. If I had known we'd be getting remakes of 1 & 2 anyway I would have just waited for those.>>483722062>partly because of things like adding in members of the community around as NPCs around the gameAh yeah, that was pretty cringy, especially when they were very obviously using screennames. The monster worlds were also pretty terrible. Aside from some grammatical issues I thought the extra chapter in the snowy country was decent though.
>>483739441make sure you have party chat
>>483746481Mobile has party chat.
>>483747328So does DS with the patch.
>>483740147>>483740241The accents there honestly felt so forced, glad it gets better at least.>>483746481Yeah party chat is there, I'll be checking it regularly
>>483748975Wasn't IV the first game the modern localizers did? Probably why they took it a little too far.
>>483750421It was the second after VIII, which was way milder.

>>483762291What's the appeal? She seems like a huge bitch, and not even in a tsundere kind of way.
>>483764259Well, initially the appeal is that she's not Bianca which the game guilts you into picking. I don't like being coerced.After that it's the hilarious party chat and her transition from a hard tsundere to almost deredere.
>>483762291Suffering from superior taste.>>483764259She's actually really cute.

Who is Midori?
Almost done with DQ11, nearing the end of Act 2 and will finish act 3 by next week. Im new to DQ so like, which one should i play next? I have also beaten DQ1 a couple of months ago. I don't think i want to play 2 or 3 as of now.
>>4837816705 if you want a good story. 7 if you want a grand adventure. 9 if you like grinding classes and getting stronger.
8 is the most similar to XI although going back you will miss the QOL that the latter introduced
>>483781670IV (and then V and VI) or VIII are good places to go from there.

>>483785472
>>4837816708, 4, or 5.>>483748975They are very forced. Its a shame what the localizers did. I think its cute with meena and maya though
>>483838424Their accents are tasteful enough and adds character without feeling too forced. I only have a problem when the localizers take it way too far to where it becomes painful and even difficult to read, like the "country bumpkin" accents they like to use or of course chapter 1 of IV. The goodybag who speaks in Polari in DQB2 is a particular "what the fuck were they thinking" moment.
>>483732310Square never puts a lot of things on sale unless something gives them a reason toHeroes 2 also has permanent Denuvo back when it was a perpetual license so they touch it as little as possible
>>483846134Jules is rad and I think it's cool if someone in the world discovers the existence of Polari via DQB2.
>>483846134the country bumpkin accents are by far the worst ones
The actual worst is the Dutch town from VII. VII might be the actual worst main game for accents, even if IV is more front-loaded.
>>483861215is it really that bad? the country farm town in V was absolutely terrible
Are there any major RPG elements in the 'Builders' games? I know both follow DQ 1+2 stories.
>>483862807You don't even level up in 1, so progression is entirely locked behind gear, and the gear you can craft is locked behind story progress, so there's points where you can feel really underpowered before you get access to better gear. And then at the end of the chapter you lose absolutely everything you had and start from 0 again which makes it feel like there's no progression whatsoever.2 does away with that so you can gain levels (there's a cap in each chapter that goes up in the next chapter) as well as unlocking more powerful gear as time goes by, and unlike 1 you don't start off a new chapter without access to any of your gear and have to start over. It's still the bare minimum of what I'd call RPG elements, but it's there. I'd recommend DQB2 over 1 anyway personally, it's just a better game in pretty much every aspect.
>>483862807I don't know what you define as "major", but Builders 1 and 2 are both RPGs. They both have prominent main storylines, and your familiarity with the stories of 1 and 2 will increase your enjoyment of the Builders series. I highly recommend them; as someone who loves DQ but doesn't like Minecraft, I loved both Builders games.
Learning DQB1 is an alt sequel to DQ1 was a really fun twist. The builders games are definitely some of my favorite games
Do you think there will be a DQB3 after the remake comes out?
Why yes, I toggled to the Synthesized soundtrack in DQXI S, I'm an ancient gamer.
>>483871291I'd love to see it, but I don't expect it to happen.
>>483871625Cool, I like the synthesized OST better too. Some of the orchestrated versions have such a different emotional tone, like Sylv's theme. Also, I don't dislike synth at all.
>>483871291Perhaps, but last I heard, Kazuya Niinou left SE to go work on Fate shit again
>>483871641>>483871846That's a huge bummer. DQB2 was unironically the best game I played in years.
I want to fug the bug
>>483874821Yeah, I freaking loved Builders, I am sad we won't see a 3 for a long time, if ever. I should give 2 another replay
>>483875647What bug?
