It's pretty dull.

>>583203456
also the easiest boss by far in all-draconian
Multi-Thrust is a stupid ability only held back by Jades limited MP pool

>>583205014
She's the most famous example of a boss that was nerfed between vanilla and XI S, for whatever that's worth. It's mainly the status effects that are a nuisance, and I guess on all draconian that barely makes it any worse.
Make sure you do the sidequest for Jade's MP restoring ribbon at the girls' school, it's pretty useful.

>>583205603
no point, all draconian bans accessories too. Though Rab has an MP share that's pretty reliable, and Luminary has a boatload of MP while achieving the same role with slightly less damage

>>583205836
Oh. I both forgot about that and also didn't realize that counted as armor. Sucks for you, I guess. Multithrust and Multifeet are random encounter workhorses on a normal playthrough.

I would use Sylvandos Gold rush more often since gold is meaningless but I dunno where you can reasonably farm enough gold to make it worthwhile

reduced EXP is such a meme because of metal slimes just existing with no cap. Good restriction,

>>583216176
I've never used it because you can just dodge encounters if you're feeling overleveled anyway, but I always heard that metal slimes counted like everything else. I know the metal slime summoning pep power isn't supposed to work when you're overleveled because it uses the encounter you started with to determine whether the cap applies.

>>583216176
They were restricted in the original release up to a point iirc. I remember I couldn't get a higher level for Slayer of the Sands, even metal slimes in the desert stopped giving anything.

>>583265076
Multi-whatever and Thunder/Lightning Thrust are very useful, I had her in my active party a lot. She's just kind of a boring character who barely gets anything to do past her introduction, though.

peak waifu? They gotta have a personality too. "Sister but not really teehee" isn't really up to par with the other characters. Especially Sylvando

>>583266535
I see... you wanted her to step on your balls like Debora

>>583268532
I didn't play a version of V that had her, but I'd have to assume she would be better.
Jade is as one note as an NPC.

>>583268532
I actually like that Jade's milder than you'd expect. It's just that there's nothing going on under the surface, or at least you never get to see it if there is. She makes a big first impression and then just hangs around.
Even if the story events were the same, she feels like the type of character who would have benefited a lot from real party chat. Since she traveled so much with Rab she'd probably have a lot of interesting observations about places and people.

I liked Jade a bit more when I started thinking of her as a bit like a female Fiveo

I know aero started as white magic but isn't it usually blue or black these days?

Wind is believed to carry life in it since breathing it in is how we live and when we stop breathing we die. Lots of myths and beliefs centered around the concept of someone being able to control wind could heal others or learn to heal from it

Aero's been Black Magic or shoved into a side job like Bishop or Sage in the tactics games more often than its been White Magic

Nope, don't care about that.
The DQ localization is soulful, and aligns with how Horii wants the series to be in the west. He complained that the DW localizations felt too serious and didn't retain his humor. You could scrap the entire team we have now, and the next team would be doing the same exact stuff, because its what Horii wants.

They just need to scale it back. A character's accent being written in Scots dialect could be as little as

You new to 4chan? For all you know it's just the same couple people taking something they dislike and making it everyone's problem. Not saying that is what it is, but it's not exactly an uncommon scenario on 4chan.
For my two cents, I have a love/hate relationship. The accents and frequent puns can be both charming in one section and retarded in another. It all depends on what's happening.

This isn’t a new opinion to Dragon Quest as a franchise. Older fans have talked for years about finding the new translations hard to read or cringe

Horii's influence on all this is probably overstated. He does seem to vaguely like the style, and other producers/directors have talked about it liking it too, but at the end of the day Horii doesn't speak English and doesn't have unlimited time to double check every localizationism, and his track record on other decisions lately hasn't exactly been spotless.
