Imagine if we got a full 3D remake like teased in 11https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIUvHyiNRzE
>>503186530How is a pre-rendered cutscene a tease?
>auto battle on all party members>not engaging with itemization or exploration at all>beelining objectives and skipping all dialogue>dracky quest enabled (you literally cannot go below 1 hp)>listening to final fantasy musicyep, gaming time
>>503186604NTA but I don't see the relevance of it being pre-rendered or not. Actual teaser trailers can be pre-rendered. It just shows the first moments of 3 but in modern graphics. It doesn't add anything to the story, it just makes you think "oh shit, 3 in modern graphics!"
>>503186836>listening to final fantasy musicWell that's one improvement at least.
>>503187025But it didn't make me think that at all.
>>503186836https://youtu.be/HBlsgXKHps0?t=7
>>503187245You didn't see the intro of 3 in modern graphics and think that it's the intro of 3 in modern graphics? What did you think? Oh look, it's Jet Force Gemini in Amiga graphics?
>>503187451I saw the intro of 3 in modern graphics and thought it was a heartwarming callback.I didn't think it was a teaser trailer for a remake, full 3D or not.
>>503187761They specifically put the part with the red book in HD-2D remake
>>503187896Yes, and?
So you know all of the mimics in Manoza Cave? One of them dropped a really good axe. Is that a random drop or do some of the mimics here always drop items? All others I've opened haven't dropped anything but there's still some left. I can't take rolling the Thwack dice anymore though.
Oops posted in the dead threadBut Here's my first full run of Solo Hero any%Pretty sure I can get sub 7 if I just stop being a dumb and walking into houses to loot barrels I don't actually need
>>503189580Damn. Nice. I figured solo hero would be a real pain in this one even with the 4x experience.
>>503189580So if it's not too many steps, what's the bare minimum you have to do?
how was i supposed to know your supposed to vist thedon at night??
>>503191893There's an item in the town that allows you to change it to night/day anytime
>>503190289Like to complete the run? Beat Zoma, no Party members save for the Merchant you make to city build (they can't fight with you, just drop em off at level 1)Or were you looking more fore milestones~18 for Pyramid~23 for Robin 'ood 2~36(+ about 5k) So that killing Chiromancer + Orochi levels you to 38 so you can KaZap the ghost crewGrinding a smidge to be 40+ for Troll and ideally Garboyle should level you to 42 (Holy protection now stops all encounters in necrogrond) and remember to bring resist gear for BaramosDark world is just collecting the Hero's best gear, grinding some in Zoma's castle and trying not to lose your mind over Bones of Baramos' all out attack ruining your entire life
I wonder what bonus boss strategies are going to look like
Is having to attackers with critical claim going overboard? Also when does Warrior learn their final skill?
>>503186530Aileen’s mom is kind of flat. I’m glad she takes after her father in the chest department.
>>503194375That just guarantees you'll kill 2 liquid metal slimes whenever you want and level easy
>>50319437548. It's 2.2x damage on one hit, and you get sword dance that hits four times at 0.6x at 37 which you might not even see before completing the main game. It seems really underwhelming compared to a lot of the other post-game options.
>>503186225VTuber Zoma...Wonder what else are they showing
I can't do rank 6 at the monster arena. Help.
>>503194936Damn, Zoma-sama is trash at the game. Also I missed an entire night’s sleep for this lol! :(
>>503195921You’re not gonna want to hear this, but it’s time to bench Healie in favour of a more durable healer.
>used Handy Heal AllYou didn't beat the game.
>>503197103I haven't used that turd. I have a minidemon with omniheal but we get nuked with AoE ice spells in the third round.
I have thief, wrangler sbd fighter team?Thinking of reclassing the thief into a sage at some point do I need to reclass the other 2 as well or can I just keep them as is?
>>503197767You should reclass everyone at least once for the stat boosts and also just added utility. You could actually then reclass them back to what they were before if you want. You'd still start at level 1 though.
I keep forgetting there are no platypunks in 3. I miss those little guys. I really hope the platypunk sidekick from Kenshin makes a cameo in the DQ1 remaster.
Is it worth levelling MW past 31? That's where she is now but she's not reclassed at all yet.
>>503197917Maybe I'll just reclass me fighter into a wrangler and my wrangler into a fighter.
>>503198027You will want critical claim for LMS hunting if you plan to do postgame content on your current file
>>503198197MW not MA, Anon.
>Metal slime kings weren't invented until DQ4Damn it imagine the exp if they were in 3
>>503198948Weird they didn't add them in since from what I read there were some extra monsters thrown in DQ3 2DHD.Speaking of which, I'm gonna have to check around this weekend to find a copy cause my local walmart doesn't have it.
I love seeing King Slimes wobble after I hit them.
>defeat Xenlon>resurrect Ortega>Mum is happy>kill Zoma>still get depressed and lonely Mum in the creditswtf what was the pointmaybe Ortega was just in another room/outside and the scene was just showing the Mum depressed about her son/daughter gone
>>503200837It was always about Erdrick being gone she had almost 2 decades to mourn Ortega already.
>>503201259Yeah, it's pretty obvious since she's sitting in the hero's room
>the direction of your shadows makes sense with the position of the sun at that time of day S O U L
I'm confused. I'm doing the Gaia's Navel bit. I found a frog monster but it ran away. I used musk and it still ran. Holy Protection, it still ran. So I gave up and went into the shrine itself. There I found a Restless Armour and it didn't run away from me.
>>503201259>>503201362Well yeah, I know it was about the Hero, but it's just made worse with the fact that she literally has no one else anymore besides the grandpa, who's near death too. I just wish they at least showed Ortega with her as they're both mourning their child, showing that she's not alone.
>>503200837>>503201259>>503201362>>503203346How does she even find out (you) are not coming back anyway? Does she assume you're just fucking dead since you never returned?
>>503203346Hard to tell if that content is canon or not because it doesn't unlock until you beat Zoma which would trap the hero in Alefgard.
>>503202483turn invisible
>>503203654Probably because the people in not Earth know the gate to Alefgard was closed, and the fact that the Hero isn't back after it closed led the mom to believe her child is never returning.>>503203821Yeah, that's why I went back and killed Zoma after resurrecting Ortega to see if the game acknowledges it. I mean, I guess you can still reason it out that in-universe, the Hero just zoomed out of Zoma's Citadel after Ortega died, beat Xenlon, resurrected Ortega, and then zoomed back to the citadel to finish the job. It sounds really stupid, but it could work.
>>503203859I don't have that item, but my point was more that one monster fled but the other didn't.
>>503204652>Probably because the people in not Earth know the gate to Alefgard was closedI don't think they know what's down there, all they know is that anyone that jumps in never returns. People were using it for suicides.
>>503204742Different monsters have different reasons for leaving
All four versions of Baramos were harder than Zoma damn
>>503205082Presumably the King and the other people that saw Zoma would know, or at least have some kind of idea that that hole had something to do with Zoma, no?
>>503205676Lmao yeah, I noticed that too. He felt oddly restrained and didn't reset my buffs constantly, nor did he gangbang me with c-c-cold breath.
What do you get in the pre-order chest? It's just sitting there, being smug that I can't open it.
>>5032066583 of each seed type and a pair of elevating shoes
>>503207192Ah. Some money would've been far better.
here for brown girls
>>503208105they will be censored to hell in the remakes
>>503209035Based slowpoke
>>503209272this was in dark prince?
>>503209035
>>50320903511 already has the outfit for Serena
>>503209602T for Teen rating. They will likely want IV to have an E for Everyone just like III
Now that a fair number of anons have beaten the game, we must ask the real questionsIs physical damage or magic damage better in this version
Some buff man just molested me when I was trying to hook up with his sexy daughter :|
>>503211339pretty equal for the most part but physical nudges just a little bit ahead
>>503211339My hero was a paragon str chad and one shot most enemies with regular attacks for 80% of the game
DQ3 is so good. It might be the Planescape Torment of JRPGs in that it was so far ahead of its time it makes almost all games in the genre look bad, even decades later.
>>503211502The ol' puff-puff switcheroo, XI has the exact same joke.
>everything I read about changing classes in DQ3My mind keeps trying to force a connection to multiclassing in DnD.
>>503212494just do what seems fun
>>503212494You want to turn mages into warriors and stuff like that so you can heal and cast oomph with a fighter. You don't gain much by turning a priest into a sage for instance, but turning a thief into a sage makes a super fast sage that can hunt treasures and sneak.
Making progress with getting the seals, following the prima strategy guide and grinding when I need to. Hope everyone in this thread is having a good friday (or saturday depending on time zones)
>>503212494Don't worry it about it much. It's a very simple mechanic that's basically impossible to seriously fuck up, but it functions well under basically every playstyle and run type you could possibly do. After all these years it's probably still the most elegant class system ever made
>>503209602different outfit
>>503213112hope you are having a good day too bud
>>503213112I've long transcended to the NEET level where specific days lose all meaning. But same to you, Anon.
>>503208105why would she do this
>>503187263>THIS IS THE BIKINI
>>503211339While doing solo hero I noticed that now the Falcon Sword works with abilities (for 4 hit falcon slash) So if that works with Sword Dance absolutely nothing will approach the single target possible with beast mode falcon sword sword dance, that's 16 fucking hitsBut it hasn't been too hard to get a Channel Anger sage to deal over 3k damage a turn with DuplicHat so uh probably doesn't matter
Kill all slomes
>>503215980The metals need a breeding population so more heroes can farm them for exp
Is it weird that I want to fuck a slime?
>>503216867if they could display more than one emotion i would
Pretty big glowuphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUQOROU_Z9A
Beat Baramos ^.^ He was pretty easyAlmost done I think :3Fun fun fun
What do you think of the accents? Do you wish they didn't have them?
>>503218557With the voice acting? SoulfulHaving the decipher what the fuck im reading? Dreadful
>>503216867Same but for Bangerz and Mash.
I am going to hak my 3DS and play all the DQ games ^.^
>>503219823Report back with results
Where's all the black people in DQ3? Is this set in Des Moines lmao?
>>503220137I must first order a charging pak because I lost it a long time ago. I will buy a new MicroSD. Now I can take my 3DS to the park or zoo or anywhere in town and play :3Good for my new walking routine
>>503215503Hi it's me again, replying to myself. Just tested a power leveled warrior->sage and it seems like only the Hero's 'Slash' abilities get double hits from the Falcon Blade (flame/lit/gust/falcon slash) as Mercurial Thrust, Double Edge, and Sword Dance all got no extra hitsI might test MA Skills but if Warrior skills don't work I can't imagine they do
>>503220705>my new walking routineAre you trying to lose weight?
>>503221674I've been watching my diet and walking and I've lost 20 pounds or more in about 3 weeks. More like 30 pounds though I haven't weighed
>>503213112God I love DQ2. I can't wait for the remake.
>>503208105every cosplay ive seen of her sucks
>>503220670Why are you looking for specific races?
>>503221935Keep it up, though remember diet is way more important than exercise.
>>503224246I really like black girls
What can they add to DQ1 to make it a bit better in 2025? It's going to feel like a step backwards being 1 on 1 solo fights with nothing much going on. It's ridiculous that the monsters are even nice enough not to attack the hero in groups with such an advantage.
I’m almost finishing DQ11 act 3, should I go straight from it to 3 remake or wait for 1 and 2 remakes first? I have no lack of other games to play while I wait
>>50322652711 is a prequel that leads straight into 3 you'll probably want to start it after the credits
I am playing FF16 after I finish DQ3 Remake. ^.^ When the Switch 2 comes out I will start collecting Switch games. I had a good collection going but my grandma who died and had dementia threw out all my Switch game boxes -.-RIP Grandma. Love you. I'm going to buy all the game boxes online probably if some people have empty boxes
>>503226810>I am playing FF16I'm so sorry
>>503226508Elden Ring DQ1 would be amazing
>>503228678You don't have to be xD I am simply seeing if I like it.
>>503225924carry on
>>503228836souls like, or even better strangers of paradise like remake for DQ1 would be cumthough at that point it probably better to have it be a dedicated spin off "inspired" by that game, just like strangers of paradise ended up being
The first floor of the bandit tower feels like a spike in difficulty.
>>503230369Robbin 'Ood is gonna kick your ass if you're having trouble with the basic enemies in there
> snooze you lose incarnated Nah, we fine
>>503216867It's the puff-puff, isn't it?
>run into an encounter after one step 3 times in a rowdq4 ladies and gentlemen
It's nice to see /dqg/ so lively. I truly look forward to the day that we all play DQXII together, just like we did when XI came out and /dqg/ was born.
How the FUCK do I progress the immigrant town to the final stage? I'm going to lose my shit.
>>503235942>immigrant townwtf
>>503186530Would've bought it then. We've had the SFC remake, the GBC remake, the mobile phone versions and their console ports. A DQ3 remake would've only been worth its price in this day and age if it were at least fully 3D. It makes absolutely no sense this remake costs more than Live A Live remake, Star Ocean 2 remake, or the full 3D Romancing SaGa 2 remake. But of course it sells anyway because DQ sells on name alone in Japan, much like Pokemon.
>>503235942At night there should be a few villagers plotting behind a building and talking to them should advance it next time
>>503235551hope it comes out on last gen consoles
>>503236764If you start saving now, I'm sure you'll be able to afford whatever console XII comes out on.
Weird how they made the remake available on Switch, but not on PS4 or Xbox One.
>>503237573tendo doesnt have another console out right now, sony and microsoft do
>>503237415im a neet
>>503236027>full 3D Romancing SaGa 2 remakeThe aesthetic is so awful that I decided to just buy the 2D remaster instead.
lost 4 hours of dq4 progress because of an emu crash so i am once again dropping the game
>>503238937Sad
Alefgard is a bad addition to the game. The game is overstaying its welcome with a literally who
Really wish DQIII HD2D was optimized better. There's been a lot of graphical bugs with stuff popping in and out on Switch in handheld mode.
>bunny girl I started waifuing just gave a puff-puff to a fucking squid It’s over… Alefgard has fallen.
>30 minutes and havent killed ONE LMS>A WHOLE HOUR and my gadabout only went from level 39 to 40 yesterday Actually going to lose my mind... It actually feels like they made trying to kill these things worse than any other game.
Builders 3 when
>>503241831After Builders 5
>>503241696I think they're balanced around the fact that some classes can dish out a ton of attacks per turn.
>>503242557Maybe but they run before I even get a chance to attack it
>wild side>attack twicekek, monster tamer is fucked up. Is it worth staying as this class or should i reclass finally, they are level 33 and idk if they get anything better after this.
>>503238937>He doesn't compulsively save every time he steps into a town
>>503245023once you get wild side there isn't much else you would need. I reclassed to gadabout -> sage for double spell casting but you could do whatever you want, double attacking warrior or MA would be sick too
>>503245583Yeah how do you lose 4 hours of progress in DQ4
>>503241443I get a weird bug where the a button doesnt work, and I have to quit to the home menu and come back to make it work. game runs like shit on the switch but at least i can play it on the toilet lel
Huh, wait, do overworld monsters run from you if you dont have a wrangler in your team? Huh, i grabbed one ar the start of the of the game
How does a 2D Turn based game run so poorly
>>503241443Im not a graphicfag, but i have noticed some bugs with the lighting when loading areas sometimes
>>503245583the emu i was using only saves when closed properly so it didnt matter because it was a crash
>>503247338Some monsters run, some are chill. I think if you don't have a wrangler, some monsters require different solutions to approach.>>503247440Unreal engine.>>503247698What the fuck kinda whack-ass emulator are you using
>>503247338you can use musk or a fading jenny to approach them, but yeah without a monster wrangler it's harder
>>503247929didnt know it did bullshit like that till now
>>503247929I was just struggling with the mummy outside Isis because of this. Like others said the musk usually works, but for that guy I had to quickly make a wrangler and then approach it with the musk in use.
Any easy access to liquid metal slimes pre baramos. I know where they spawn but usually only 1 appears and they rub away too easily. I want to be able to find a hoard of them so i can actually prepare, get proper revival and multi heal spells.
>>503214631Same here, just any other day to me. But hope you haven't gone totally stir-crazy yet fellow NEET
>>503247440It's not even a 2D game. I'll never forgive Shitenix for this "HD2D" trash that is neither HD nor 2D.
>>503248346past the place where you can change classes there is a hill you can fly on that has a sparkly thing on it, slimes spawn like crazy there
>>503247538Oh I'm not graphicfag either, but I do care when half the floor in battle is flickering enough where I'm thankful I'm not epileptic.
I'm about to play the SNES version of DQ VI, I know nothing about this game.
>>503250087If you're playing in English, just know that the patch is incomplete and a little buggy. Don't open the equipment or party status screens, iirc. Also consider backing up your save once every couple days. Otherwise it's worth sticking with.
>>503250087play the DS version, you can emulate it pretty easily and it has some QOL upgrades
>>503247929>What the fuck kinda whack-ass emulator are you usingRetroarch I'm guessing. I used that shit on my Vita for some stuff, and if I don't close the game then close the emulator through it's menu, the same thing happens where nothing saves.
>>503251517I thought about that, but didn't toss that in as a guess because iirc that hasn't been the default behavior in years, to my knowledge it compiles saves every 10 seconds. Maybe it's different for non-windows builds, or he's using a really old version or something if that's the case.
DQ3 2dhd is the 4th best selling remake in the series with only its physical sales being counted, with digital its ontrack to be the best selling remake in the whole series. Do you think the FF department is tilted as fuck over this at square or nah
>>503249790Huh, i havent run into aything that bad. I make a point to close out and restart the game every couple hours, though. Mostly because Builders would bug the fuck out if you ran it too long in one go
>>503252745>I make a point to close out and restart the game every couple hours, though. Mostly because Builders would bug the fuck out if you ran it too long in one goReally? Guess I'll try that. Its been in sleep mode mostly, but if that doesn't matter then I guess technically the game has been running for the past four days.
>>503241443>>503246860>>503247538>>503249790>>503252745>>503253561Either something is wrong with your switch, or SD card you have it DL'd on because this just sounds made up, not once have I had any of these issues. Did you update your game? Are you pirating it? If you're pirating then it's a you issue.
>>503202483If it is footsteps sound usually padfoot works but without the thief you need an item.
>get bunny tail>game gives me a tutorial on accessories and personalities>think its neat that I can avoid the personality by putting it in my secondary slot>get cower ring>"oh wow, that's a lot of agility, though I don't want to be a Wimp>put it on and its cursed>forced into Wimp anyways>warp back to twon and blow 1/6th my gold removing itYeah its been a little too long since I played a DQ, I got careless.
>puff puff is yet again a scamWhat game does a man need to play to get a real puff puff?Also do your male party members also get pissy if you get one?
How hard is unreal engine to learn
>>503256726No it just depends on wheoevers in slot 4 i think.
>>503257153I started learning it and it was pretty easy if you follow tutorials. Memorizing it is pretty simple for basic tasks.
>>503257153Someday though, after I've played all my JRPGs (I saved JRPGs for last in my backlog because they're long) I'm going to make a JRPG using RPG Maker. Maybe I'd use Unreal Engine though. I have an idea of a JRPG set in World War 2 inspired by Commandos 2 and MGS and FF7, where you control an Irish Green Beret and his band of commandos (like a spy, a bombs expert, a seductress, a thief, etc.) who fight against the Nazis and Hitler wants the Green Beret as an Aryan supersoldier specimen to mold into the best fighting soldier to win the war, which becomes the twist in the story.
>>503255016Im not having a probem with my DQ3 (not pirated) cart, personally, no. But the Builders 2 issues with running the game for long periods of time are well known for the switch release. Now 3make and Builders are entirely different devs, so might not even be the issue.
DQ3 remake might be the greatest jrpg ever made not just best Dragon Quest.
>>503260883I'm glad you're enjoying it so much, but you're incorrect.
>>503260883I liked it up to the point where Alefgard happens, then I got annoyed with it because I want it to end so I can replay it, but the game is just getting longer and more tedious. With that said, almost anyone can enjoy FF7. That's why it's the best
>>503256726IIRC, DQ2 plays it straight without any subversive jokes. At least until the 3D-HD release, anyway.
i'm looking for a save file for the switch version of dragon quest 3 that is at least up to alltrades. could I get anyone to share a file?
Slime Island, Rimuldar, or Zoma’s castle for power leveling?Also do you think they’ll up the level caps in 1 and 2make?
>>503260883Its a perfect remake, but still has dq3 flaws idk if this sounds retarded so forgive me. Game is incredible but ultimately the mid late game offers no opportunity to level up. Theres just no good way to farm liquid metal slimes
>>503260883Not true
>>503261447Wrong! If you refuse a puff-puff from the gal selling puff-puffs she’ll ask if you could tell she was really a dude IIRCDQ1 is the only game where you can get an honest puff-puff. Maybe.
>playing DQ3 for the first time ever>get the ship>feel overwhelmed with where to goh-help
>>503255016I'm playing with a physical copy, and yes its updated, unless they just put out a new patch today.
>>503262319go wherever the wind takes you :)
>>503262319yeah that's the classic DQ dilemma, all right
>>503262318Had a feeling I might have been off on that. Appreciate the save.
>>503256726XI has puff-puffs in the double digits
I started off with a Thief, thinking of turning him into a Warrior. Does Thief have anything worth grinding for first?
>>503255016>>503262405Also here's proof of the issue. This big ass shadow was flickering over half the battlefield in every battle in the tower next to Aliahan.
>hero is 65>rest of the party is 28And they not even in their final classes yet :(
>>503262997You get everything worthwhile like 20
>>503262885XI's definition of "puff-puff" is confusing and kind of frightening
>>503262997>Warrior>himAnon...
>>503263024Huh. Those bits of lit up stone are definitely an indication something is wrong here.I've never had that happen to me, but I've also not been playing in handheld mode.
>>503260883i agree
>>503259103>>503262405>>503263024With this and that DQB2 issue, the SD card may have something to do with it. For DQ3 make sure it's downloaded onto your system memory and not your SD card. Especially if you've been using that SD card a long time. It could be dying. My SD card and anything downloaded to it has slowly begun having issues, download times have even begun increasing because I need a new one.
>>503263762The stones are supposed to be lit up. Its that giant diagonal shadow that's wrong, the floor is supposed to all be bright.
>>503264747Does it matter if my save is on the SD card? I'm playing a physical copy.
>>503264994all switch saves are always on the internal memory, no matter if you're playing from a cartridge or a digital game and where that game is installed
>>503264994Update/DLC data might be saved to the SD card, and you could try moving it to internal
>>503263024I'm playing on PS5 but sometimes stream it to my Switch using Chiaki. I also have it set up so I can play on my phone with a controller. I'm so glad I didn't get the actual Switch version but then again, it's often like this with multiplatform games.
I want the female warrior to pin me down while a female sage pisses on my face.
>I want the female warrior to pin me down while a female sage pisses on my face.
>>503266767There'll be a mod for that.
So I played DQ XI for the first time recently and FF1 at the same time and DQ3 is like the perfect in between game. Has a bit of those 2 in it.
>>503266767>>503267337PISSFAGS LEAVE
>>503264813That's what I mean. If everything was okay, then either there wouldn't be a shadow there, or the stones would also be darkened.
i forgot i had a japanese copy of ix. the previous owner is max level so i felt bad if i deleted it and its gone untouched
>>503268451XI is kind of a tribute to 3 in a lot of ways and a prequel to it
So what was in that stream?
>>503270560Zoma played Dragon Quest 3 while on call with Baramos.
>>503270560DQ9 HD2D GOT ANNOUNCED
>>503270560DQXII is a gacha exclusive to iPhone
>>503271215>>503271402>>503271520Oh ha ha guys real funny. What actually happened?
>>503271710A Jessica cosplayer gave a kid a puff puff
>>503271710Zoma really did actually play Dragon Quest 3 while on call with Baramos.
>>503271710Meena was on the Epstein flight logs

>>503241696turn off draconian quest anon
>>503272517It wasn't just some vtuber it sounded like a japanese old man voice actor that's in a lot of games
It'd be cool if you could wrangle Boss Troll and Orochi.
zin missed 7 times in a fucking row
>>503274636jp artists will make sure it happens
>>503275628Unless you got kazing it's a crapshoot every time
Guides say a monster is in a place near the Wayfarer's Shrine, but where is that? I googled it and it seems to only be in the Seeds of Salvation version.
I do wish they changed the learn set more for this game. No multi heal or kazing at a resonable level blows. I really take DQ11s good balance for granted sometimes

>>503277339this game is fucking hard dude. I'm a little stuck at the pyramid cause I'm too low to kill the boss but I still die to the regular mobs that I'm farming for exp just because everything hits so hard
Imagine a playthrough where if a party member dies you have to leave them dead and make a new one.
>>503277686
>>503277686Yeah im playing on draconian mode and had no idea how broken monster tamer was. This game without this class is probably ridiculous.
>check inventory>Have 2 pairs of Elevating shoesHow
>>503277339DQ11 is the easiest and least grindy game in the series
>>503277758>you have to leave them dead and make a new one
>made rubiss goddess>orignally servant of god>the group are defeated>nonbinary language i did like very much the increased difficulty, visuals, additions, voices and storytelling, though. more of that, pls and tanks
>>503277758I've seen people play with the idea over decades of DQ3 but it never catches on. DQ3 doesn't support ironman playstyle well at all because true instant kills are plentiful, it isn't realistic to mitigate them, and a lot of the strategies that you'd take to make the run work would trivialize and destroy other parts of the game.
>>503275628eleven or twelve, here reeeeeeeeeee
Man the Garboyle must have 10k HP or something I run out of MP before it's even in yellow health.
>>503277758One bad thwack RNG would ruin your whole run
>Have 2 pairs of Asbestos earrings on everybody>Still take full damage from Infernothis is BULLSHIT
worshipping rubiss
>>503279620Do breath attacks count as separate things from normal fire attacks? Doesn't make sense but it might be that. The game does make a point of mentioning breath attacks specifically, like with the Dragon Shield.
>>503280410They do, although I was pretty sure myself that asbestos still mitigated fire breaths.
>Thanks for returning the dreamstone but I still hate you human scum now gtfo!What the fuck was her problem?
>>503280613she says another tragedy is bound to befall elfkind (she wants it)
>>503280613humans kidnap her people to make them roadside attractions and sex slaves
>>503280613Returning the dreamstone does literally nothing for her. Everyone wins except for her.
How do you survive when the Garboyle boosts and starts spamming 100+ damage Kasizz 3 times a turn?
kek
>>503281002magic shield or if worse comes to worst kaclang spam till he runs out of mp
>>503280613She's subtly asking for rape correction, like most elves or fairies.
>>503281002as much magic and fire mitigating armor/accessories as possible
>>503280613this is why she hates humans >>503281228
>>503281002>100+ damage KasizzYou're doing something wrong.
>>503281002Cast bounce and magic barrier
>>503281194the difference here is>remake of a beloved entry on a beloved franchise, everyone already likes itand>remake of a niche franchise periodi think it's also why DQ3 didn't get a demo, they were just sure it was gonna sell anywaynot to say the DQ3 remake is bad of course, but still yeah i bet most people would've rather got a remake like romancing saga 2 got instead, as much as one could like the 2d-hd games
>>503281503My whole party is wearing 2 pairs of Asbestos earrings, and they're like mid 30s to 40.
How important is luck? I don't have a single personality that raises luck growth, only stunts it.
>>503278351If you dont play on draconian yes. I like the hard mode, its good on the switch version
>>503281917What in the world is your team composition that you're struggling at that level. My entire party was in their 20s on Garboyle. Are you running goof offs as an investment or something?
>>503281194nah, people always want what they dont have. If we got a 3D remake like romancing saga people would bitch about how they dont like the look and preferred sprites
>>503281917I beat it at level 30 on Draconian. Are you keeping Magic Barrier and Insulate topped off?
>>503282112Just one, party is Merchant, thief and Gadabout, no reclassing done yet. Anyway I beat him now, only cost me 23k spamming Call to Arms.
>>503282046It affects crits and resistance to status ailments. A martial artist benefits from luck because their crit rate is the highest in the game.
>>503282649gratsmight want to make that sage
>>503282649Fight was hard because you have no priest or sage.
>>503282938Once my Gadabout learns all her skills I will.
>>503282649Oof. Baramos is going to be hell for you. DQ3 classes aren't balanced the way modern RPGs tend to do it, all of them are viable but they're designed around being strong at different points in the game with the intention of class changing being taken advantage of.Assuming the remake still works like the older games, which isn't confirmed to be fair, stat growths start to fall off around 40-50 so characters stop gaining much power. Even if you break to power level on the liquid metal slimes you're going to start running into very soon, the rest of the bosses will be very difficult. All of your classes are at their absolute weakest point in the game right now.
>>503282649By the time you finish whatever you're planning to do with the gadabout and merchant you'll have run out of game content
I'm glad I benched my Priest in the beginning for a Merchant. The extra money and the small chat about some items like the tortoise shell for example is great.
I'm so glad my ship can cast Zoom too.
Did Baramos always look so old?How is he gonna eat my innards when he doesn’t have any teeth?
>>503284987
Is this a joke? 6 enemies that can cast Thwack?
>>503285159I padfooted and ran from basically every pack that included those guys
>>503285103in the gbc one, he says he'll feast on your intestines to prevent your revival. maybe like a floppy pink or brown straw.
Is Lucky Devil a good idea for a warrior -> MA?
>>503285474Not sure if it's as good as getting a lot of strength and popping critical claim until you burn out but yeah, it should be solid.
>>503285474yes. that said, if you want to optimize martial artist and/or have a lot of free time on your hands, i'd suggest goingmerchant to 20/call army --> thief 30ish ---> monster wrangler until pile-on or 44 for c-c-cold breath ---> gadabout to 40 for luck ---> warrior to 48 for sword dance ---> MA
>>503281741nta but I rather have just the same game with some few changes, some new features and "better graphics" than a completely different game. I hate what Square did with Final Fantasy 7, but I'm really liking replaying DQ3 throught this just like I did with the Star Ocean 2 remake.
>Awarded for learning all spelld and abilities.See, I think I understand this, but I don't want it to mean I have to level every class to 50 or such.
>>503282304>people would bitch about how they dont like the look and preferred spritesI don't believe this. Any handful of faggots that would complain about 3D visuals would have several other versions of DQ3 with sprites to play. We didn't need yet another. 3-HD2D's sprites aren't even particularly good.
>>503286625There's a spot with 8 liquid metal slimes late in the game you can eventually level 50 times like nothing
>>503286625that little island north of talontear tunnel spawns what >>503287032 says and the slimes there drop five different seeds
>Tick-Tock costs 12 mpWhat the fuck? And you get an item that does it for free anyway.
I got so filtered I had to write it down
>>503287027Agreed. And if it was a case of "people would complain either way" then why won't they be making XII as a HD2D game? Obviously they wouldn't, just like FFXVII won't be like a pixel remaster. It's obvious what they consider better, and I agree, but they also know they can get away with the least effort, lowest cost option because they can pass it off as a retro art choice when it's a remake.
>>503187451>Jet Force GeminiNow THAT is a throwback! Loved it, played the hell out of that back in the day.On a more DQ-related note, found this comic on the DQ twitter. I'm illiterate but I can get the gist and man, do I ever love how much of a mountain of a woman the Warrior is here.
>>503285103Bud lookin' like he finnna advise Piccolo Daimao.
What now? I'm missing the yellow orb and there's nothing left I can go to that I can access.
>>503288919If you're missing the yellow orb then you haven't progressed the merchant town.
>>5032876692DHD isn’t cheap and low effort though. Like if you hate the naming scheme for these kinds of games sure but its a style that has a fanbase. I liked octopath 2 alot, i just think all the good sprite work from that game is missing here. I still think its a good remake though, its fun to play classic DQ3 with some QOL. I just wish they introduced more classes, a sage counter part for warriors and better moves for all the classes.
>>503289069Well the town is fully built and my merchant lady is standing in her "throne" room.
We are so alive that /eagg/ is also back from the dead
>>503289228You must've skipped some dialogue. Go mash A behind the throne.
>>503289318There is nothing there tho.
>>503289612Oh, I think you're even further behind than I thought. Go explore the town for a little while, there seems to have been a flag you didn't trip that'll be very obvious when you see it.
>>503289214It's significantly cheaper than making high quality, full 3D assets. Why do you think low budget indie games are much more akin to this style than, say, Call of Duty, Rebirth, or RDR2 graphics? Even within full 3D there's a massive variance, like Romancing Saga 2 would obviously cost far less than Rebirth to make. In terms of ease, I could make sprites like this, for real. I wouldn't even be able to make a table or a banana in 3D though.
>>503289612search around town and talk to people
>>503289270Nice
>>503289868>>503289817I found some dudes talking about a revolution but I've then slept and come in and out of town repeatadly and nothing is changing.
>>503289837play around with blender and have fun just trying to make shit you like. look up relevant tutorials and whatnot when you hit roadblocks. before you know it, your skills will have improved.
>>503289214>i just think all the good sprite work from that game is missing hereI played that yesterday and was surprised how terrible it looks after playing this. The sprites too. Play it now if you can and see what you think. I didn't think it looked bad (for HD2D) when I originally played it but it looked blurry and cheap as shit when I saw it yesterday.
>>503289941zoom around some and the game will prompt you, then, i think.
>>503289941You have to progress other parts of the story first
>>503290548He presumably has 5/6 orbs with only the yellow orb being missing so I'm not sure what flags he could possibly be missing.
>>503287010>that forehead I AM CUM
>>503289941>>503289837Pretty sure team asano has came forward and said 2DHD isn’t cheap. I think the sprites in dq3 are lacking, but i have 0 complaints about the environments.
>>503287669> if it was a case of "people would complain either way" then why won't they be making XII as a HD2D game?You forget that they've made new main series entries DS games in the past, XII isn't a guaranteed 3D game despite XI being one.
Man the bird kinda feels slow and shitty to use. Especially when going south.

Is Baramos Castle the best grinding spot in the "1st" world?
Man I just found out about them dinduing Psaro. Lame. They never should've made him playable, it was a slippery slope.

I think I'm overlevelled and possibly overgeared. Boss Troll was doing 50 damage with his attacks and my MW was doing 800 damage a turn to him.
>>503298073>mwyou didn't beat that fight
>>503298073Lmao, I was doing 300 damage a turn and that was with my whole party.
What level were you anons for Boss Troll? I'm out of my Merchant and I'm having a tough time. Why the fuck did they make it so you can't just replace the guy?
>>503298073MW is just overtuned for the majority of the game. Although you may be overlevelled regardless if you're taking so little damage, think 30 is about the place where most people are fighting him. I know you can clear him low 20s though.
Would a meteoric bracer allow my thief to outspeed LMSes? How much agi do they have?
>>503298770>Why the fuck did they make it so you can't just replace the guy?You can go to Patty's and make a new one anytime you want
>>503298879My hero is 32, I have a Warrior that was a Thief (27), MW (not reclassed, 32) and a Sage that was a Priest (26). So that's not too overlevelled. I think it must be unusually good gear for this stage then. >>503298636That was with two monster rushes per turn, by the way, not just basic attacks, but it's still ridiculous. I've rescued 71 monsters and the damage scales with it, I think.

>>503295252>avan manga artistThat's because it is.
>>503298770>He handed over his actual party member merchant Anon, at any time since the start of the game you can make new characters. You should've made a new merchant for that purpose.
>>503299795/v/ lied
>>503299795/v/ is currently on a campaign to spite this game and anyone playing it to hell
>>503299795Why would you trust anything /v/ says?
>asking /v/ for adviceThat's like asking a bumblebee for a wine recommendation.
I like that the game at least has the option to disable objective markers

>Boss Troll Used Kasap>Mage used Kabuff>x5Is anything even happening at this point?
5 more levels and I am free...
>>503302917I respect your efforts and at this point you might as well finish it but man, you would've had such a much easier time changing your characters at 20, finishing up the game, then doing your grinds in post-game.
Would Tough Cookie or Bat Out of Hell be any good for the hero? I have two accessories I want to put on her and they have those personalities.
>Gadabout learns fucking Channel Anger at high levelso like, and caster member should eventually go Gadabout to Sage now right? Even if they are already a Sage?
>>503303108Tough Cookie is the best personality for a Physical Hero I believe. Might wanna change that later though, because end game Hero is there most to spam heals and Kazap.

>>503305018Soon
>>503303168probably yeahgood news is that in the post game, grinding levels actually goes by pretty quick once you have a LMS killing setup
>>503305018Forget those, the worst one is collecting all of Erdrick's legendary gear and not being able to see it on him.
>>503305326DQ11 spoiled us in that regard. Although that reminds me of a pet peeve of 11;>Hendrik's ultimate outfit makes him look like the DQ3 Warrior>Serena's make's her look like the Sage>Luminary's sort of looks like the DQ3 Hero>Veronica's doesn't make her look like the DQ3 mageWhy, it's so obvious
>>503305662I was gonna say because he was still wearing it, but then so was Serenica.
>>503305662Veronica was sjpposed to dieand I will never forgive Horii for giving me a sage just to take it away
>>503305662Worst part is they're doing a DQ1 remake so the asset should already be made for it if they designed the hero first.
>>503305841and so was Drustan for that matter, but then I guess he was a ghost or something by the time you meet him
>>503305662because Morcant is a dick and doesn't deserve to have Veronica dress up like him
>>503306268how do you get a clown outfit for a guy who is like 8 feet tall anyways
>>503306268Sylvando is the king of gadabouts
>>503292332Was like that in the NES and SNES versions, not a surprise they kept the bird's speed to a crawl.
So it seems like your mom is insane and greets absolutely anyone that enters her house as if it's her child.
I enjoyed DQ11 when I was playing it but the further we get away from it the more my memories of it sour.
When I got a puff-puff, Warrior got pissy, Priest looked away and Thief didn't react.
>>503306359Sylvando dreamed of this day and had it specially tailored far in advance.
>>503306359https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VBmCJEehYtU
Years of RPG experience, useless for the most quintessential JRPG.
>>503306536Why, its a great game.
>>503306706>Aerith not Yuffie>Yuna not RikkuYou deserve to get wiped out.
>>503306706Judging by your hp you might be underleveled
>>503306718I wasn't bothered by the part 3 while actually playing like some people were, it was like, "hell yeah I get Veronica back", but now I look back and I feel like the game would've been more memorable without it afterall. Mechanically it wasn't really that satisfying for me, the party balance is more in line with modern philosophies where characters get a lot of options and all scale throughout the game but it ends up feeling like there're some builds and characters that just squeeze others out of the same function and I don't really want to replay it to try other builds either. When I finished the game I was impressed by all the highlights but when I think about doing another run I think about the drudgery. It doesn't really have the same nice curve most games in the series do either, maybe a consequence of overworld enemies.
I hope DQ12 is another "make your own party" kino DQ like 3 and 9.
Are there Priest/Mage skills that Sage does NOT learn?
>>503307260The game was building towards the Dark One the entire time, he appears in the opening cutscene and is essentially the puppet master of all the events except when he gets btfo in act 2.
Where's the most common LMS location? Slime Hill seems slower than Zoma's Palace.
>>503307759No. The two classes mostly exist as starting foundations to enter other classes including sage on, they get overlooked a lot in this version because so many other classes have good early games now but they're both honestly still very strong.Mage does have a little extra utility since in a post-game situation it does actually have a stronger statline than Sage though but it's not really realistic to raise that character since you'll have easily beaten the post-game bosses before then.
Jasper.
>>503307260I have that with Remake. There's a thing I call Marble Zone syndrome when I talk to my friends about this. When a game has a part that's so unenjoyable that it puts you off playing through a second time - especially if it's early in the game. Remake is just that all the way through. After you do the quests with Tifa, almost every single part afterwards feels off-putting and lie aslog to get through. I mostly lied it first time through but I can't get myself to even remotely want to play it again. Really don't have it with DQXI, though.
>>503307260The game would be better without act 3 for sure.
>>503307953Don't get me wrong I liked it at the time and I think the part 3 makes sense. In effect it's the standard Dragon Quest experience. You beat the enemy that's been in your face the entire game, then there's another great evil that you have to travel to another world to beat while fixing all the damages. It's not any different from going from Baramos to Zoma.The time I had playing that was very enjoyable but now that we're years passed 11 I just think of it as a decent game I had fun with at the time without it being one of the Dragon Quests with moments that're still brainworms in me.
>>503307612I can't really see them doing it after XI was so character focused with unique pep power combos and everything.
>>503308958I wonder if they would ever do something like XIII (originally). A small, focused party where everyone gets a lot of character development.
>>503308958DQ3 and DQ9 are the 1st and 3rd highest selling DQ games so there's an incentive there. People love those games.
>>503309235I think a good compromise would be a class system more in line with 3 and 9 but you get a defined party. I mean no one actually plays DQ3 making more than the 3 party members and a throwaway merchant anyways.A pity that 6 and 7 are the less beloved titles in the series. I imagine that discourages them from trying to explore their systems anymore.
People might like being able to customize the hero a bit in XII at least, would've been nice to change that mop hair of Eleven to spiky like Erdwin.
Why am I trying to find the ghost ship again?
>>503310098A locket that stops a ghost woman from halting your progress in the sea
>>503309596i feel like 7 has more fans now because of the remake
>>503308858I think Act 3 is too much of a mix of postgame optional bonus content, and also the climax of the actual story. Which ends up bloating it, and making it come across as less than the sum of its parts for a lot of players.
why is there a random little girl in the pyramid?
I think I will play VI after III it sounds really cool
>>503310921She's looking for her mummy.

How many hours in does 9 get hard?
>>503311149It's funny that Erik is mistaken for him when you go to the DQ6 tickington world
>>503312403A lot, you need to level 99 the legacy bosses.
Wait... I just realised something. The world in 3 is round, you can sail around it and there's even an NPC talking about it. Yet when the sun goes down and night falls... It's nighttime everywhere at the same time. And now that I think about it, that's true in all games that let you explore a whole planet and have a night/day system.
>>503312562ackshully, the way that DQ and FF world maps wrap on the top/bottom and left/right edges makes them a torus, not a globe
Man was the pyramid a sudden difficulty spike.Game was a breeze untill now.Though they really casualized death now that you have autosave.
>>503313169So Meteor might just have gone through the hole in the middle?
How do I beat the game without a sage
>>503313418I don't really know what the point of the bank is anymore, even XI had a penalty for death despite also having autosaves. You have to willingly choose to lose half your money in 3.
>>503313418>Though they really casualized death now that you have autosave.It's funny seeing people still cheese it. One of the achievements require you to resurrect at the church, so people are doing that then going back to an autosave to they can have 0 restarts in their menu.
>>503313685Priest into Mage
wtf, is there no book that lets you change your personality into tough cookie?
Would switching from thief to merchant to monster wrangler screw up my stats I feel like muster strength could be useful
>>503314702no but there's an accessory
>>503314816Damn that stinks. Oh well, charmer is good enough for males anyway. What about ironclad? It’s similar to tough cookie and about as good
>>503314718Monster-Pile-On isn't actually effected by MW's STR or attack bonus or anything, it's purely based on how many Friendly Monsters you have saved. That's probably why it's so busted when you first get it.
>>503314969What about the thief skills. I did hear the monster skills were different like that
>>503313685Just raise a Priest and a Mage separately. Keep your Mage levelled, convert your Priest into an attacker whenever you're comfortable. Sage Stone is even healing in the late game if the rest of your party is survivable enough and Hero gets Omniheal in post-game. Sage effectively replaces both classes but it's not like Sage itself has an irreplaceable qualities.
>>503314965Ironclad no, but Paragon yes, which is very close to Ironclad.
>>503314965Ironclad doesn't even have an accessory, which is very annoying because it'd probably be the best Hero personality if it was available at all.
>>503315102one thing to keep in mind is that in the HD remake, Mage actually has better offensive magic stats then Sage does now, so there's a real argument to having both Mage and Sage in a party.
>>503315063yeah, Thief skills all do. I've seen a lot of people go Theif ->MA/Warrior probably because of that reason.
Is there a way to get more metal boomerangs and meteorite bracers?
>>503314965Lone Wolf is a good one for males it has no weaknesses
>>503315538I'd say it's either Lone Wolf or Tough Cookie.
>named merchant Todd after Todd Howard>now the city is called Toddburgrofl
>>503315473think you get another bracer from the 2nd level wish arena
I kill everything
>>503316001stop it
I puff puff everything
Why isn't there Puff Puff Quest?
How do I get into that building in Asham? There's a man blocking it during the day and a woman at night. The woman is actually voice acted so it seems important.
>>503319483Try talking to the woman with a man.
>>503319794Ah. I don't have any in my party so I'll have to make one. Thanks.
If you save your playthrough in two different slots, you can actually hire your own "helping hand" character, effectively cloning a party member. I thought you might be able to dupe equipment but it's fixed on them - though it does mean you could have two characters with unique or very rare items at the same time. So, you don't need to make and level two sages, just clone one.
>>503320250There's actually nothing notable in it, I think there's a bunny tail accessory or something along those sorts. The voice acting is just there to beguile you inside.
44... only 3 more levels...It's bullshit how even with a Meteorite Bracer my Agility spec'd MA is still outsped by LMSs.
>>503320820Yeah, but muh trophies.
Ha, got the retard to kill himself.
lol i love this spell :)
>>503321668Liquid metal slimes are absolute bullshit in this remake. It's way easier to just farm normally in Zoma's Citadel and hope you kill any LMS that happen show up just for more consistent experience points. They must have fixed the Puff! + Meteorite Bracer trick, too, because my Sage's dragon form seems to always go last no matter what.
>>503323365Yeah this shit doesn't get old. Never got a boss with it, though.
I would like to get this for my ps5, should I go physical or digital?
>>503255027What item?
>>503293209Sexual tension between these two is off the charts.
>>503325208Well I went with digital like I usually do nowadays but just do whatever you normally do.
>>503293374So what did American critics actually enjoy back then?
I get the feeling many accessories don't actually do anything. Elemental damage reduction and status resistance seem to make no difference. The hero has anti-freeze earrings on and is taking the most ice damage.
>>503315270The most compelling argument for having a mage in your party is that she’s cute.
>get multi heal>combat finally becomes consistentjesus, they probably should have reworked moves in this game but whatever.
Bruhs, I fucked up. Got so obsessed with fine tuning my harem that now my hero is 81 and all my girls are in their low 30’s. It looks silly and even on draconian the game poses no challenge whatsoever. I’m 50 hours in, but should I just start over?
>>503326892I'm sure they do something because I threw them on for Zoma after he took me out once and he was doing way less damage on the second attempt. No other changes to my set up.
>>503327787I don't know how the bonus dungeons are tuned but maybe they're still hard enough to justify your grind?
fuck this battle, my hero and priest keep getting thwacked.
>get critical claim finally>suddenly EXP farming is easyGod that sucked. At least the rest of the classes will be easy to cap now.
I reached a part of the temple of trials where I need boomerangs and claws, but only my Hero and MA can use them. Do I need to go back and reclass my other party members? What other weapon restrictions are there? I already did the staff and axe one.
>>503306501True but the world us MUCH bigger now too
This fucking bird. It's like driving from Alaska to Argentina in a bumper car.
>>503327787This is why i had my hero dead whilst leveling the party
Should I even bother going through gadabout for my casters with post game in mind? Figure they'll just get blown off by buff removal.
If I use the book to unlock sage for a character, does it stay unlocked even if I switch them off sage later? Or would I need another book to put the same character back on sage?
>>503332826Another book. This version gives you three books during main game though and then you can get an unlimited use book in post-game and there isn't any realistic scenario where you'll burn through all your books before post-game so sage is pretty free.
>>503333257how easy is the level grinding in the postgame? For the purpose of autistically collecting all the abilities, of course
Where's Ultima now, huh?
>install dqxi on steam>"an error has occurred in the application"What's any idea how to fix it? I deleted everything and decided to re-install just in case but idk.
>>503335530Look for an error log in the installation directory if it happens again after the reinstall.
>>503336379Alright, I'll check it out.
How do you know when you've finished the town storyline? When your merchant comes back to you?
>>503338924Yeah. Although it's effectively done for practical purposes when you get the yellow orb
I've got all medals and monsters up to before you go to Baramos' place. My characters are between 29 and 35 though one hasn't reclassed yet. Am I ready to fight him? Should I have protection against a certain type of attack?
>look up bonus boss strats>people setting to dracky or calling army at level 99I am very disappointed
>>503336379Fixed itself after uninstallAlso I beat dragon quest 2, Erdrick trilogy done!
>>503342682Man I love the little jank ass gbc sprites
Can you not get the merchant back before the volcano?
Do things that protect against something, like fire breath attacks, stack their defense?>>503344710Pretty sure you need all orbs. Might be wrong but that's how it seemed to go for me.
Are there any missable equipment pieces?
>>503345475yes
>>503345375Ah hell that's longer then I remember. I should replace my merchant then maybe.
Don't buy mirror shields whatever you do they're a trap, your own healing spells and buffs bounce of them and fuck you over in boss fights.
How did people know you are from Aliahan if the path was sealed? How did people know Ortega died in the Volcano? How did people know that did people know how did people know when the the Bsot nbityd ghuyt wwnrbuh unto hgufgt eob?
Is there a way to access the DLC for DQ 7 and 8 nowadays?
>>503346298The king has agents everywhere
>>503346326yes
Did people really struggle with Garboyle? Insulate, Barrier alone is enough to trivialize him. You fags were fine likely but I see people whining about nearly all the bosses outside of here.
>>503346569There's generally two reasons people are having a tough time. They're genuinely new and went right into draconian hearing the game was easy from people who've beaten it ten times in previous versions or they're veterans playing way under level because they're running old low level strats against the new curve and enter fights with none of the tools
>>503346298And why can I hear music everywhere I go? Am I losing my mind?
>>503346569See >>503323365
>>503347219No, you're just being followed by invisible bards.
>>503346569not everyone knows the ins and outs of the game, and most people straight up don't know the basics (and skip all tutorials and don't talk to any npcs, some anons here did the same), especially if they're used to other rpgs. Like i bet lots of people legit don't know "use staff as an item to shoot fireball for free", let alone everything else
>>503346298There must be the DQ equivalent of Big News Morgans from One Piece spying and reporting all the news.
>>503346298>>503346298Aliahan has a sealed path but it isn't cut off from the outside world. Boats and zoom exist for other people too, and NPCs comment on your clothing being regional from Aliahan so the fashion is public knowledge.Ortega was so famous by his death that he was thinking of hiding his identity because he was easy to track. The volcano was likely the last place he said he was going to.
Just got the boat and am at a point where I'm finding my martial artist is kind of underwhelming. She started off shit, got pretty solid once I got the golden claws, but feels like she's plateau'd since the pyramid. Is there any other power spike coming for a martial artist soon or should I reclass her? And to what? Other two party members are a sage and monster wrangler.
>>503348710I'd say MA should be class changed into, maybe from thief. You get a great ability called Critical Claim if you keep going though. Not sure what level though.
>>503346326Someone made a save for 7 with the DLC active. That's the only way to do it. It's on archive.org
>>503348710MA is a late game class. I'm not sure they can even get access to a better weapon before you beat Baramos. Your other characters can hard carry her if she's fallen off though, Monster Wrangler is strong enough to completely compensate for a dead slot
What's a good let's play of 3 HD2D? I like Magemasher but he's very slow. Just fighting Robbin' 'Ood now. There's that very possibly retarded girl with a vague European accent who's just annoying to watch.
>>503348710can switch them to a warrior or wrangler then back to ma once you are going to fight baramos
>>503349195You do get better weapons, there's 2 or 3 I've found. I think one is from monster arena 7 or so. One might be sold by the upgraded town your merchant is in.
ive only watched koyori play it
Fucking hell I want to do a run with no Wrangler but not being able to collect monsters on the way sounds fucking obnoxious.
Just beat Baramos on my first try and my MW only did 70% of the total party damage. :3
>>503348878>>503349195Wish I'd known about that before I started with her but live and learn I guess. Funny because I almost took a thief at start before changing my mind at the last minute.>>503349263Thanks, might swap her to a warrior and then back afterwards then. What's a good personality for female warrior?
>>503349519everyone should do wrangler for their first play through but after that using one would just slow down a replay
>>503348710You need to build martial artists with luck so they crit all the time, lucky devil has no weakness and 150% luck growth.
>>503349625If you're going with warrior for the final class, tough cookie or lone wolf.
>>503349625one of mine was body builder and the other was vamp
>can't change skin tone and make an all brown girl party
>>503350781it would obscure the warriors censorship so it was cut
>>503351342America strikes again.
>>503349519They really should've made it so monsters and mini medals import into a new save
>>503351469it was stated that the censorship was for age rating reasons, including the one in japan
I will remember Dragon Quest 3 Remake as the comfy game that I always could look forward to playing instead of buying alcohol and getting drunk, while I walked to lose weight :3I hacking my 3DS to play all the others ^.^
>>503351646Why are they so obsessed with the age rating
What is mountaincleaver a reference to?
>>503351596Or they could've just put a damn item that allows you to sneak up on monsters like they did for smell with the musk.
>>503351828They wanted little kids to be able to get it, back in the 80s they didn't have to worry about a rating board.
>>503351750I'm playing it while also buying alcohol and getting drunk. But good luck with the weight loss, try eating more protein and doing basic weightlifting. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn passively. Not talking about massively bulking up, that takes years.
>>503351646what's funny is that they also had to censor male monster wrangler because of that, cause in X male monster wrangler is topless and male topless also doesn't fly for some reason>>503351750a jap 3DS, or a hacked one, could unironically play every mainline DQ game and a good bunch of spin offs. I say could cause i don't think DQX on 3DS works anymore
>>503352112If you keep drinking you might eventually get sick like I did. Avoid at all costs.
gorilla gorilla many
>>503352112If you want to keep playing comfy games avoid alcohol at all costs. It will eventually come to bite you in the ass. If you turn into an alcoholic in your early 20s you will get sicker faster. Avoid at all costs.Now my goal is to get healthy and be comfy playing cozy games. Alcohol makes me feel depressed and sick. That's all it does now, but my body is addicted. The withdrawals suck but I know they will eventually go away.
>>503351847Haibanei Renmei
>>503351828they want fathers who played it growing up to buy it to play with their young kids
>>503352443>>503352186I'm 41 and have been drinking since I was a teen. I'm very familiar with all the downsides and you're both right. For me, it's more about moderation than stopping it entirely. But I'm 14% body fat percentage and active, but yeah you can get into a real funk where it takes over your life. You're doing the right thing. Anyway, Dragon Quest.
its a me, mario
>>503353040Your gf prefers Bowser dick
>>503353138man what the fuck makes you act like this
>>503353138based monster wrangler peach
>>503352864I'm glad I'm talking to older peopleThe acidity and bitterness of alcoholic drinks started giving me stomach and organ inflammation, so I had to quit. My body feels like it's healing. It only makes me feel sick and sad. This comfy DQ3 Remake helped me have something to distract myself with. I started walking to the liquor store a few days ago and turned around halfway there because I kept remembering how the alcohol would go down my esophagus and burn :XDragon Quest is fun and comfy and happy ^.^I love my Mommy as well. I'll see my grandma in Heaven :]
>>503353285Nah.
>>503353412Yeah, the longer you can go without, the less you'll feel you need it. But have you thought of going to a support group thing? That intentional peer pressure will help.
This really bothers me.>Appearance: Appearance A>Appearance: Appearance BWhy isn't it.>Appearance: A>Appearance: BOversight?
>>503353324>Easily triggered MarioYou love to see it
>>503353621they dont want you to confuse it for blood type
>>503353720you will never have your wedding
>>503353724Lots of games do it this way though. The way they have it now just makes it sound like a parrot.
how many monsters has peach wrangled?
>>503353890Chad dragon rapelords don't need weddings. Mario will be using green pipes as a sex toy while Bowser plumbs Peach's depths with his BGD.
>>503354124Every single one.
How long until they nerf the monster wrangler with a patch? Enjoy that broken shit while it lasts.
>>503354883>Jap games apart from MH and fighting games doing balance patches
>>503354883I don't think any Team Asano game has ever nerfed things in a patch and his games are full of broken strats. MW being so strong is pretty obviously intentional to get people to use the new class
I've been playing Dragon Quest Heroes 2 over the weekend and I swear something must be wrong with me... You have pure sex fiends like Maya, Meena, and Desmedora but the only character I have eyes for is Maribel! Something about Maribel triggers my sexual urges like none other. I want to be childhood friends with Maribel, to be scolded and bullied, but when all is said and done she clearly loves ME more than anyone else. I want to marry Maribel! I want to adulate her and praise her and answer all her unreasonable requests! I want to see our kids grow up together so badly... I don't care about any of the other semen demons in the series like Type B-kun or Jessica or Moonbroke. I only have eyes for Maribel
i wish you could still check equipment and items' sprites/artworks in the menus, them popping out only when you find them in pots and whatever and nowhere else is very wack. Like on one hand it's cool the menus are pretty much the same as the snes version, but on the other yeah we intentionally lost stuff like this, or for example the bag being a list instead of an icon grid (so that you can fit more items in the same space, ui wise)
>>503354883It’s only the 5th best class
Monster Arena is making me want to play Monsters 3. How is it anons?
>games says you can't go wrong with warrior/priest/mage>actually feels like an awful setupOr maybe my personalities are just awful across the board.
>>503357710Don't get two casters. Pick one.
>>503357710It's alright until later when enemies and bosses one shot the mage and it becomes a liability
What level should you be after Garboyle? I'm in my early 20s and the cave is kicking my ass.
>>503358885It's a 30+ area, holy protection doesn't stop encounters until 42.
Whose braindead idea was it to make the Japanese town speak in haiku? Might be the dumbest localization change this franchise has made and that's saying something. People lose their minds over type A/B shit but no one talks about the stuff that matters.
What happened to Theddon? I thought it was supposed to be not broken at night.,
Is MW the "You didn't beat the game" of this game? I changed my MW into a fighter and Monster Pile + Wild side + Fighter Speed is stupid. War Drum is just going to make this even more stupid.
>>503359606It was like this since XI. They're going harder and harder to that shit. I'm not too worried though there's projects to fix that. Like putting the DW3 GBC script in, the NES Script, a bunch of people are relocalizing the whole thing from scratch though it'd be better if they worked together.
>>503359606It's supposed to be like that, same with the one in XI.
HAHAHA I'M GONNA HIT LEVEL 99
>>503360007Ghosts show up at night that you can talk to and sell you stuff but the buildings will all still be ruined.
>>503361103>warrior/mage/priestHow did you set yours up? Your hero looks like a wisdom boosted variant.
>>503360007Why would a bunch of destroyed wooden buildings fix themselves after the sun goes down?
>>503305940DQ1 hero will just be shown wearing his default armor like usual, not Erdrick's.
>>503361103>normal metal slimesno you don't lol
>Peaks into dq modding discord>Tons of people going>"dm'd you"Why are people like this
>>503361103>>503362342I felt like they didn't give a whole lot of XP anyway compared to other games, and I was getting luckier killing 2-3 in a fight before they ran, too. Maybe they balanced it by giving them less XP but making them less likely to flee? Or I just got weirdly lucky.
>>503351862doesn't Fading Jenny's work for that? I know for a fact Padfoot does.
>>503361517I got a wit Hero, a tear-away warrior reclassed into MW. A good egg mage and a wimp priest. >>503362342I know that image was from 2 days agos and 5 ran away
>>503357313>it's not that goodName four better classes.
btw, people have figured out what luck does, and getting enough of it is it's really important for Physical Attacking classes. Especially on Warrior, because their base luck is kind of crap.
>>503362193I thought his default armor was Erdrick's set? He has Ortega's helmet and added a red ponytail thing to it.
>>503363046Helps you resist status ailments.
>>503357548I had a really good time with it. The monster selection is pretty large and there are some interesting areas to explore. If you're a fan of DQ4 you'll like it even more
>>503357548solid gameplay, mediocre everything else
>>503360053Fighter is still better overall so i would say no
>>503357710You'd change the priest to warrior or MA and the mage to a sage so it'd work out nicely.
Holy water/protection doesn't do shit. Just how much overleveled do you need to be?
>>503365917About 10 more then the average.
>>503363537Nope, Erdrick's stuff has always been the blue armor, this is from DQ1's guide book
Least favorite enemy anons?
>>503370093hades condor or hell crabs
Serenas wand isn't turning out well bros...
dragon quest ix is cute so far but i dont like stella
>>503236027>Star Ocean 2 remakeIt's just a cheap remaster of the PSP release with new portrait art that doesn't even match the sprites.
>>503372083Or is it?
How are kids able to beat III fine but grown adults are asking for guides and shit.
>>503363850that, along with crit chance, and most importantly damage variance on psychical attacks.everytime you attack, there is a multiplayer that ranges from .9%-1.1%, and where it lands depends on your characters Luck. Too low and it will always be .9% , get enough Luck and it will always be 1.1%.
>>503372929because any adult that plays a JRPG is usually the kind of sperg that is all about min-maxing, when DQIII never (and still doesn't) really require that level of play to beat.Well maybe the new end game does if you are sticking to Draconian, I hear it's actually pretty fucking brutal.
>>503261565No one? Damn.
>>503261565Why? And you're better off asking in the Woodus community or something.
>>503373858Just play it yourself? That's not even that far into the game.
>>503373930>>503374489I have the PS5 version. I'm testing some shit for the Switch version and would rather have instant access to the location rather than playing through it again. Even on easy, it takes time to get there.
>>503372503isn't that the star ocean 1 remaster?
Is there some resource out there that shows all the abilities each class learns and at what level? There's a lot of outdated ones from other versions but it's hard to find an hd-2d one.
>>503376732I think the real question here is was there an NPC like that in the previous versions
>>503376732They dressed their daughter up as a boy because the Orochi was only interested in eating little girls
>>503376732Her daughter had to be raised as a boy so she wouldn’t be sacrificed to orochi, now that orochi is no more there is no reason for her to keep pretending
>>503376732This was from the original. They had a daughter and raised her as a boy since Orochi eats women. Frankly I'm surprised the localization didn't add a line of the girl wanting to stay a dude.
>>503362476you get less xp on draconian mode
What's a good level for my party before going to Zoma?
>>503377475lv10
>>503377475Reclassing makes it hard to gauge your level brah. Just have good abilities and you’ll be fine.
Is there an accurate list of what classes learn by level?
>>503376732
>>503366654Does it only count for the leader or an average of your whole party? I'm like 7-8 levels higher than the rest of my team right now because they all reclassed (not at once, but they're all only just getting back to 20 now)
>>503372929Kids are willing to wander around and come across stuff, vs adults trying to make progress quicly due to limited playtime/stress. This also means the wanderers naturally spend less time "grinding", so the game feels more fun. Or at least, thats how Id describe my experience growing up and replaying these kinds of games
>>503378258https://game8.co/games/Dragon-Quest-3/archives/463772I found this after some searching just click on each class individually and scroll down to abilities.
Does the hero gets anything to compensate not being able to change classes or is that a sign to drop all seeds to compensate not being able to level more than once?
>>503379741Zap
>>503379129who copied who?
>>503379741I think the hero stat growth is higher than the others every level
So overall do you guys like the remake or not? I love it but im pretty bias for Team asano, i like all their games. I understand the want for a normal 3D remake but Square has no restraint, they’d try to turn it into a 300 million dollar 8 year project.
>>503381146I don't. I'm sick of the lazy HD2D aesthetic and none of the new content is extensive enough to justify the remake in my eyes.
>>503381146I have nitpicks but I could say that about almost any game. Overall I think it's pretty good for what it is, a prettier remake with modern QoL of a 30+ year old game. I wouldn't hesitate to tell newcomers to play this version (and the 1&2 remakes eventually though I think I'd still tell them to go chronological) if they wanted to get into the series, before it was always a list of pros and cons for the original/GBC/mobile/switch versions and no one of them was really definitive but aside from maybe missing Pachisi I think this one is.
>>503381146Big fan of hd2d, big fan of 3, so a match made in heaven for me. The only downside is the destruction of my sleep schedule.
>>503299774kek, thanks. Is it true? Do the metal babbles really drop those shoes?
Hey anons. I want to go into this blind but got some questions. What is the most optimal class to use? The default ones? Should I be aiming Vamp or no? I heard Type A can't get it. What about class changing?
>>503383669Sounds like you don't want to go into this blind.
>>503357710It's an excellent stable team still that's just overshadowed by MW being overpowered and mandatory to a smooth experience with monster arena and thief being extreme quality of life in this version
>>503383353You get a pair at the beginning of the game if you pre-ordered it
>>503383669For a first play through i would say have a wrangler since you likely won’t want to go through monster finding again on a second play through. Other then that just pick whatever, Min maxing is pointless. You can beat the game solo or with an entire meme team so don’t worry about getting stuck or something
>>503383353Think so. There's one you can find in world after bird though and they're fairly easy to pick up with a thief in your party in Baramos Castle
>>503383669You don't want to use the default team that Patty has they have trash personalities it's better to make a custom team upstairs.
>>503382161>aside from maybe missing PachisiThere's no board games anymore? Wtf man how could they take that out?
>I want to go in blind>I want the optimal strategy
They overstreamlined the game. A portal at Baramos' castle? really? And then they use cut scenes to spell out every orb.
>>503357710My playthrough of Dragon Warrior III for NES with that team was fine, though I did turn the casters into sages eventually. Love me Warrior, she's never leaving or class changing.
>>503385489It's either a portal or grinding until you're high enough level to use holy protection to get through the entire dungeon without a single battle so you have fully healed team to fight Baramos.
>>503383862Didn't pre-order.>>503384364Nice.>and they're fairly easy to pick up with a thief in your party in Baramos CastleGroovy, I assume you're talking about stealing the shoes from monsters. Gonna be fun grabbing all kinds of stuff off of enemies and I can even sell it for gold to compensate for no merchant and playing on Draconian for my first play through.Really stoked to finally try out Thief, I even worked a bit more on her backstory today to determine why she joins the hero's party. Just one more month of waiting...
>Bought DQ 11 at release on Steam >Heard that there are mods to restore the original graphics to the Echoes of an Elusive Age version>No update to the other Definitive Edition from the original>Fuck you, buy it again These Japs, man
>>503381146I like it for the most part. The new bosses and tweaked difficulty are nice. However, I don't like all the new objective marks stuff and new cutscenes pointing you to your next objective. Part of the appeal of DQ3 for me was talking to all the NPCs and figuring out where to go next on my own. Monster Wrangler is an interesting albeit game-breaking addition, but I wish monster collecting wasn't so bloated or required specific abilities without the vocation because I imagine it being really tedious on replays.
>>503386000Just buy a stack of 99 medicinal herbs. It only costs like 800 gold.
>>503381146Ive never played DQIII, so I cant turbo nitpick it like someone who has played it before, but im having a good time
It was harder to get to Baramos then to beat him, Some final boss.
>>503386707The definitive edition on PC isn't bad it doesn't look like the jaggy ass switch version
Wait, so if there's no pachisi, and the monster arena has been reworked to be like VIII, then there's no gambling at all?Man.... DQ got me into gambling
>>503387512congrats on winning anon now go to town and celebrate :D
>>503186054
>>503386795You can turn off way points in this game, that should solve all the issues you listed no?
>>503387779A lot of games have been toning down gambling in recent years, not even a 'murrica thing as much as a euro one because they have really strict anti-gambling laws. Same with pokemon game corners and the class that used to be called gambler getting renamed in the remakes
Does Ortegas dumb ass not know you can just respawn at a church?
>>503389008That's only for those blessed by the Goddess and he did not pay his tithesCheap ass
Stop picking on her asshole abbot, she's trying her best!
>>503388364Only partially. Several of the new cutscenes basically tell you exactly where you have to go next. For example after beating Kandar at Skyfell tower a group of soldiers come up and outright tell you that the magic key is inside the Pyramid.
Soul of Baramos in Tower of Rubiss is too hard bro. It's gonna make me quit the game. This game has already overstayed its welcome with the dark world anyway
>>503389582>Kandar at Skyfell tower>Kandar???
>>503389913Robbin Hood always be Kandar to me. Not that I hate his new name or anything, Kandar is just what I'm used to.
>>503390132Is it weird that I like Robbin' Hood but hate Robbin' 'Ood?
Hey I'm playing dq3 2dhd and I notice at times when I do battles my party is healed up sometimes even though I didn't do itplaying on dragon quest difficulty btw
>>503390513Leveling up heals you now.
>>503390562Oh neat, thanks for the info.Also gonna play DQXI soon, is there any vanilla-friendly mods I should get? I know there are ones for 60fps cutscenes
Rings that prevent spell seal don't work, bro. Game sux
6 remake should add a maid class
>>503389582Why the hell is the key to open their boder checkpoint hidden in a pyramid, anyway?

>>503386707I wish I had edition of light on my steam account...if it was still for sale I would buy it to own em both
>>503392438What does 8 have over 11?
>>503392790Va! Va! Voom!
>>503392438
>>503392790No Yangus.But joking aside, 11 got a little long in the tooth with the third act, even if I don't actually hate it like many seem to.
>>503393247I really do need to replay VI.
>>503392790Better music.
>>503393247I'm glad someone else eats 4 low. I feel insane with how much the community loves 4 but the title is such a fucking slog to me that I never make it far when I try to replay it. I don't understand how it's one of the all timers, and I find myself agreeing with basically every other popular take in the franchise
>>503393645I liked it but it did feel overrated when I played it. I think the each-chapter-is-a-different-character mechanic is just not all that appealing, I can see why it'd have been novel at the time especially for being so unexpected and it does feel nice when you get the full party and revisit the places you were at during those chapters and feel the fruits of your labors, but I agree about it being a slog. By the time you get to play the hero it feels like the game's half over already and it's hard for me to feel invested when the REAL story is only just beginning, but I've already been playing for a while and feel like it should be halfway over. Just something about it I can appreciate from afar but as far as actually playing it again myself it's not all that appealing. Definitely would not rank it as low as that guy did but I don't think it's as high as a lot of people would put it
>>5033932473 is shit because of the dark world. It goes on too long and overstays its welcome, but you're old so you don't know any better
>>503393562any time is the perfect time>>503393645i love the character designs, the music and even the final boss but the game has never clicked with me. i didnt like the chapter system the first time i played and i like it even less on replays. always felt like a huge step back to me
>>503393645Everyone has their own take and that's fine. Some think V is grossly overrated, and that VIII is boring (as well as it having the stigma for drawing in newcomers). I personally happen to love all of them aside from II. Having party chat in the mobile version of IV helps elevate it IMO because I enjoy the cast. I also want to fuck Sofia, so there's that too.
>>503394241i didnt play 3 till 4 years ago and im 22
>>5033942413 is like a 30 hour game with the dark world, generously, in the remake. You won't have even unlocked all your abilities by the end of it. How the fuck does it overstay its welcome
>>503394398I'll likely revisit it after my IIIHD run is done. I just don't remember too much about it given I haven't played through it again since my initial playthrough around when it first released on the DS. If anything B is kind of a placeholder, whereas IX, belongs there at least in my view.
Question. Is it also Goddess in Japanese? or this a localizer thing.
So about Baramos. Did the other demons know about Zoma too? Or did they all follow Baramos.
Why did they make Ramia go from a white and red phoenix to a generic blue eagle in VIII?
>>503392438>SVIIIVIIXI>AIV>BIXVI>CIIIV>DIII
>>503396172>VII that highThan makes her VERY happy. Wet even.
>>503395112Its probably kami-sama which is ambiguous, but Rubiss is the canon god of the Erdrick games and she's female so goddess fits.
>>503395112Why would that be a localizer thing?
>>503396435It might be number 1 when I replay VIII. Its been the longest since I've played it and I feel like my enjoyment was probably skewed by having a guide for all the alchemy next to me. I'll play it straight this time though.
>>503396665Nes version called it God.
I fucking loved the Druid class in VII. It's shame that it was only in that game, aside from X(?) I guess? For those that played X, how was it there and was there a "best class" in that game?
Rubiss is cute!CUTE!
>>503395112>>503396638It is kami-sama but she's got a female voice in JP and everything and she's been a goddess canonically for a while so I don't really think it's a localization change, just consistency. Probably when they first made the games they didn't have Rubiss in mind specifically and since the churches are very obviously based on Christian ones they just kept it as a generic "god".>>503397092Now calling this Japanese-ass class a "druid", THAT'S a localization thing.
>>503397553worship for rubisstribute for rubiss
>>503397553What a cutie!
>>503397908It was called a heaven or earth something in the original no? I guess Elementalist would have been better, I dunno.
>>503398264Why do the gods keeping jobbing the the villains? Rubiss, God in VIII, and then the Dragon to Calasmos in XI. Fucking jobbers.
>>503399047God in VII*
>>503384862I look like this, and I say this.
>>503399047Don't forget God in IX
>>503399908Admittedly IX is a bit of a blur to me. I just remember Corvus being sealed away but shooting a beam up or something.
I'm going to change my gender to "slime"
>>503399047Plot contrivance. The game won't happen and the hero won't journey if these good for nothing Gods acted right. A story as old as time.
>>503400286That beam fucked god in the ass and according to one grotto boss, splintered him into the various grotto bosses.
How do I beat the Soul of Baramos in the Tower of Rubiss? He does the breath attack followed by a physical attack and one shots my characters. I've tried different strategies, but my party gets spell blocked and paralyzed.
Queefer
>>503388364It definitely helps and I'm glad the option is there to turn off, but the new cutscenes are really tacked on. The new one after Robbin' 'Ood like the other anon mentioned is especially egregious since there's absolutely no reason why they should know the Magic Key is in the Pyramid. I also don't like Dragon Queen's Castle being forcibly added to the story and off-limits until then. There are plenty of NPCs in the game telling you need to find the Sphere of Light, and now their dialog makes no sense because you're forced to pick it up before entering the the Pit of Giaga.
>>503374749So? Not anons job to do your work.Slap on easy you cant die and just run there.
>>503397553Post THAT picture of Rubiss
>>503392438>>503393247>>503396172We doing this now?
>>503404791>>503392438>>503393247>>503396172Is it that time again?
>>503404538
>>503404791>>503405008Should we?
>>503404323Well using the "how would they know?" logic, how would those NPCs know you already have the Sphere of Light?
>>503405908very solid
How do I deal with the dying fires? My party (Hero, Thief, MW and Sage) is at level 27 (except the sage who is 19 but around everyone else in terms of stats, since she's the only reclassed one) wearing the aerofoil earrings and they still get destroyed by Swoosh.Sometimes I can get them to red but when the RNG starts spamming sickle and swoosh they deal damage faster than my hero and sage can heal. Not to mention the two are my main damage dealers so when they have to heal AOE I just get stuckIs that 7k Swallowtail Boomerang worth it for dealing with them? It deals less damage than my current equipment but it's AOE, at least my Thief would be doing more than trying to use Hypnowhip I guess.This feels like a battle meant for a party with 3 magic users.Alternatively, is there any easier orb to get first?
>>503405936Because unlike the Orb hunt where you can do things in whatever order you want and having multiple sources of information may be useful, having those NPCs is now redundant because you're forced to take the Sphere of Light before even entering the second act.
>>503406257The pirate hideout is extremely easy. You just go there and find it, no fights. Takes like 20 seconds from arrival.
>>503406391Yeah it's redundant from a real world perspective but those NPCs don't know the party already has it. In real life, people can tell you things you already know. I wouldn't normally point it out, but if you're annoyed by people knowing what they shouldn't know, this is an example of the opposite: these guys tell everyone they need the Sphere of Light and they don't magically know you already have it so they tell you too
>>503405908
>>503406421Will go there while getting some more levels for my Sage and money for the boomerang I guess.I haven't gotten the echo flute yet because the encounters were a bit draining when I went to the spire earlier, but that was when I was still carrying a Gadabout. So I guess I'll do that as well before circling back to the Fires.
unless someone can help me with soul of baramos in rubiss tower i think that's whre i drop the game and move onto ff16game's too hard and expects too much
>>503406735Because it doesn't make sense from a game design perspective. The guards telling you about the Magic Key isn't just bad because of the absurdity of it. There's a natural flow of information in DQ3 I guess the developers no longer have confidence in despite it being perfectly fine beforehand. An NPC tells you to try Asham when looking for the Magic Key, Asham tells you about Ibis and the Pyramid, and you go from there. Even if you skip talking to those NPCs, the game funnels you into it because there are only so many locations you can visit before getting the boat.
>>503407261are you memeing? whats your party?
>>503407053I wonder if somewhere out in our big world there exist a Stella fan...
>>503407337At least it's the only instance of this kind of thing up to the point I've played. Maybe they wanted to ease new players who aren't used to talking to NPCs into it by giving a clear pointer first? Either way it's retarded.
>>503407525No I'm not meming. I have Thief, Sage, and a MW. I get paralyzed and spell blocked and then it's game over. I can't beat it using different strategies.
>>503407624As a character she's whatever, but an onahole-sized gyaru speaks to my dick.
>>503407807Get the rings that block paralysis anon.
>>503407807okay just checking but your sage is at the back of your party correct? if not then put them to the back. are you using accelerate and other support spells? do you have magic resisting armor/shields equipped or ones that resist certain types like fire? how many mana potions do you have? you can always spam kaclang till he runs out of mp if you still cant get him after making some changes
>>503407807Man that's a really strong team comp. Your problem is probably gear in this case. Load up with some anti magic even if you have to give up some defenses to do so and have you sage maintaining magic barrier
>>503407624some people that never played the game pretend to like her because they think she is black
>>503408179The Sage is third and my MW with healing spells is in 4th. I have Asbestos Earrings on all characters and Magic/Ice shields on the rest. Fire resist armor. Usually he will do a fire breath attack and then a physical attack and knock out one of my characters and then I spend the rest of that time trying to rez the character and the rest of my party dies. I've tried multiple times with different strategies.
>>503408001Built specifically for you.
>>503408524kaclang
>>503407624I enjoyed her company during DQ9 but not being able to imagine having sex with her due to size means she can't bridge the gap up for me
>>503407053What always surprises me is how many people out there love Moonbrooke, a frumpy looking gremlin with very little dialogue and zero romantic teasing
>>503409323i understand after seeing that msx cutscene
>>503408764How can I prevent spell block? The rings don't seem to work
>>503334859True, ultima is better
>>503409625at the start of the fight just spam kaclang over and over and over again till he runs out of mana. tis the easiest of ways amigo
I love Jessica!
>>503408001
>>503410109Why would anyone ever choose Medea over Jessica's superior genes?
>quest in 9 where you have to give an item to an old man to burn>give him horse shit>he starts coughing and saying it stinks>quest completeokay 9 is pretty sweet
>>503409846ok i'll try it
>>503410407make sure to have some mana restoring items on you
Is it viable to finish the game on Draconian while changing classes only once per character? I had planned on doing that because I read people talking about the previous remakes saying that reclassing more than three times was pretty much useless (and that reclassing at all was not needed), but now I'm seeing people talk about 3 or 4 class changes, and the game seems harder than people expected.
guu thread>>503411441>>503411441>>503411441
>>503410251I liked Medea's whole story with the MC, while Jessica only has one slightly romantic moment when she thinks you're her brother
A new thread on page 8? I dunno about this, bros.
Hargon has no friends.
