play dragon quest NOW
hd-2d was the best fit for the 1-3 remakes
>>721853539is the solo story of DQX out yet? otherwise, get fucked!
>>721853745DQX offlines english translation is almost finished. You can play the online version in full english already though.https://pastebin.com/kE3XGQNS This should explain how
>>721853539I was playing DQX for a good while, I've dropped off on it for a bit, but I plan on getting back into it eventually. I might get 1+2 when they release.
>>721853890Have you seen the 1+2 new content trailer? it looks like meaningful additions, not just extra bullshit, I'm pretty excited.
Which one?
>>7218543963 2d-hd remake, 8 3ds or Rocket slime
>>721854396Dragon Quest Builders 2
>>721853539I got DQ3 on the GB, and DQ monsters 1 and 2 on gbc.
>>721853539I was playing that mobile remake of DQ1 since I pirated it on the Switch emulator but I stopped since I figured I'd just play the fancier remake when it shows up on there instead. I was enjoying it though, to the point where I may just buy the fuckers on Steam
>>721853890My biggest problem with that game (at least the offline version) is that your companions are way too OP compared to the hero. No matter how many classes you master, you will never come close to being as strong as them. I hate when the hero is the worst character. They carry you the entire way.
>>721853539I did start the 3ds version of 1 some time ago but now I can't remember what I was doing.
>>721853539Okay https://www.furaffinity.net/view/4393395/
>>721855451I only made it to the end of V1 in Offline. I was a gladiator, and felt stronger than the other two physical fighters, but felt double healers was pretty much required.
okay
>>721853539But anon, I'm at the end of Dragon Quest 2 on the GBC on my chink handheld
>>721857278Dummy, should have played 3 2d-hd then played the 1 and 2 remake when they release next month. Now you have no reason to play 2!
>>721857438I boycotted 3 2D HD for the gender and enemy censorship. I actually really like 2. This is my second time playing it. First time was the one on the Switch
>>721853678Sure but not for 4 5 and 6. I hope they look different especially 5 and 6.
>>721857691That's understandable anon, the enemy censorship sucked. The gender thing is silly though, boys make good type B's. I first played 2 on the switch aswell about 6 years ago, it was my second dragon quest game after Rocket slime on DS
>>721853678DQ is the only time I've been able to stomach the HD-2D shit
I can't read.And if I can't read, how can I enjoy these games?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZGOD3V-KAU
>>721857943My first DQ was 9 when I got an R4 card for my DS over a decade ago. Never beat it, but I want to go back to it at some point. I really enjoyed it. Would you happen to know if there are any mods that reverse the censorship in 3 2D-HD?
>>721858143There happens to be a mod for classic experience restoration. I haven't used it though. >https://www.nexusmods.com/games/dragonquest3remake/collections/07c02fI really enjoyed playing Rocket slime as a kid so I eventually played joker and joker 2, from there I was desperate for the mainline games so I played 1 on switch, I grinded that game out for like 22 hours straight, my flat mates got super worried about me cause after a week I finally left my room after beating 1 and 2
>>721858394>https://www.nexusmods.com/games/dragonquest3remake/collections/07c02fThat's exactly what I'm after, thanks. I'll probably pick up 3 2D-HD eventually when it's cheaper or if Square Enix ever decides to have games on bundle sitesYou grinded DQ1 for 22 hours? How? Took me like 5 hours to beat while taking my time
>>721858730I didn't use a guide and got lost finding that one square in the poison river thingy, plus I went to max level and wanted to save a bunch of money.DQ3 HD-2D is pirate-able on fitgirl if you really want to play. I really think its worth it.
>>721858836>I didn't use a guide and got lost finding that one square in the poison river thingy,Ah, I fucked that up and walked in the opposite direction what I first played it>fit girlMaybe. I haven't pirated anything in so long, I'm completely out of the loop
>>721853890DQX had a massive increase to the free player trial, it now goes to the end of 4.5 or so instead of stopping at 2, unlocks a lot of the other side content as well
>>721858958Piracy is always ok anon. Money shouldn't stop someone enjoying art!
>>721855451Just play online its free up through v4
>>721859225I'm 1,000% for piracy. I'm just too lazy to get back into it
>>721855451In the Online version you use player characters. When you quit for the day you can put your character up for use to get xp and gold. Just hire support players and you be the damage dealer.
>>721853879What about the browser version?
>>721858836>DQ3 HD-2D is pirate-able on fitgirlIsn't it still unreleased?
>>721860545I downloaded a pirated version from rin and it works flawlessly.
How is DQ not appropriate for all ages?
>>721861224lol even after the censorship and the removal of real genders. It'll never be enough to make them happy.
I already played them all. Except 10 and Dark Prince.
>>721859189I know, I started when I heard it was going to happen.
All these remakes and we still don't know a single thing about 12. No Heroes 3 or Builders 3 either. Shame. What has happened to DQ? Must it continually be punished for FF's failure?
>>721853539Not paying 60 dollars for 3 hd. Sorry
>>721861224Where's that image from?
would you recommend the nes ones?
>>721863460You got another gacha that'll shut down in 8 months, shut up and thank SE.
Is there finally a DQM joker 2 professional full english version out anywhere?I remember downloading one that purpoted to be that, but when I actually opened it up, japanese everywhere
which one of these games has the most shit to do besides the story?
>>721863158>lol even after the censorship and the removal of real gendersThe hilarious thing is that it doesn't. Yeah, it changes Male and Female to type a and b or whatever but it's kept all it's gendered dialogue so the female protagonist is still referred to as she and her in every instance
>>721865417DQX because it's an MMO, hope you're a nip or burger or you'll need VPNBuilders if you have build autismMonsters if you have breed autism
>>721865417Dragon Quest IX and X. But you won't want to spend 700 hours in grottoes/item farming in IX.
>>721865472What was even the point of Appearance A and Appearance B then?
>>721863860Steam
>>721867329Trick Sony's Ethics Committee and the Square's shareholders into thinking they're appeasing to their demands. But they only look at the surface level stuff. So you can make anything they don't look at carefully do what you intended from the start.This is the same shit they pull with the localization. Ham up the accents and go crazy on dialogue changes in the few towns the localization director actually checks. Then the rest just forgets about it and does a normal translation. This was confirmed by the localization team that did DQVI and VII on DS/3DS.
I played X today :)
>>721867329It's an order from the top brass of Squeenix. All that schizoid babbling about Ethics Committee is true, at least in part.The big man Hori himself considers it ridiculous and his interview calling westerners silly was quickly deleted from youtube.
>>721853539no, it's slow and boring, for literal babies
>Intel Core i5-1135G7, 16GB RAM Iris XeWill my laptop run dq3 remake?
>>721870797your laptop seems to match the minimum reqs as far as I can tell. Might be too close for comfort, though.
>>721870637the rant was from Torishima but he's still right. DQ3 was censored at least three times at this point for western audiences for the NES, GBC and now the remake so you'd think he'd just rolls his eyes with it. be glad the fags that requested the censorship didn't bother to check deep enough like the cucks they are to get the Puff Puff joke removed. still raw about them dropping pachisi track though
>>721853745why would you want to play that, it doesn't even has all the story, doesn't have all the content and the art style looks like shit
>>721863460An anon leaked the Dragon Quest VII remake in here last month, no one believed. One of his claims was that DQXII has been in development hell and restarted twice, should finally release in 2027
>>721871901It ran Octopath flawlessly though
>>721873626It's not their first rodeo, DQVII's development was a mess and a half.It still sucks, though.
>>72186346012 is waiting for Horii's death so they can milk the fuck out of "the final game made by the final member of the old guard..." before fully bastardizing DQ and killing it dead.
playing dqx right now, deep into v5. good times, would recommend
I could never figure out how to get personalities I want with seeds from 3. I refuse to make all companions vamp.
Finally getting around to DQ4 (DS), currently at the twins' chapter. Good game honestly, really like the PS1 style for the series myself.
>>721875117Did you get the party chat restoration patch?There's a lot of chat in there that localizer troons removed from the game.
>>721875485I'm playing in Spanish so no, I think they didn't even add the other translations aside from English to the mobile version, they sure didn't do it for 1-3. Torn between playing 5 on PS2 or DS when I get to it though, both seem like pretty good versions in their own ways.
Wrapping up my playthrough of 3's remake and have really enjoyed myself. I think my main gripes are that it has too many concessions for convenience. Like, it doesn't make me slow down and enjoy it. Sprint is too fast and going max speed in combat is too tempting and both do so much to shrink and trivialize the game's sense of scale. I even got a mod to make the fast forward in combat less gimmicky feeling and I kinda wish I could disable sprint.Minor gripes though. This endgame dungeon is kicking my ass and I'm having a great time. Almost have 100% achievements to boot. I don't do that with games very often.My dilemma now is DQ7's remake announcement has got me wanting to play it now. Never gave it a proper shake and now I'm torn between playing the original or saving myself for the remake in a few months. Never know when my burnout will hit.Decisions, decisions.
>>721875963>Sprint is too fast and going max speed in combat is too tempting and both do so much to shrink and trivialize the game's sense of scale.That's fair, though, to vouch for sprinting in the remake a bit, I think they made it as good as it is for the sake of having the pace n traversal match a bit more closely with the 2D versions, seeing as the locations were upscaled in size and detail quite a bit for HD2D. I think you can notice it most with the dungeons, here's a comparison they posted of the Pyramid for example, it takes nearly double the time to get to the first trap room in HD2D compared to 2D. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gweTAH1tq1I?feature=share
>>721872965>TorishimaIsn't he the dragon ball editor?Does he work on DQ too?
>>721875963>I'm torn between playing the original or saving myself for the remake in a few monthsWait for the remake, then.The original is kind of a pain in the ass to play, forget about it. God is actually called God in the original, a few sexual jokes weren't censored too, I guess I can praise it for that, but it really isn't fun to play. I wouldn't recommend it.They are changing a few more things around so I think the 3DS version might not be worth it as well.
>>721875963if you're up for emulating or burning cash on a cart the 3ds remake is a good way to experience 7 as well. I really like how they went with the battle scenes in that game, feels like the best progression of the classic DQ stlye.
>>721875963Play the DQ I+II remake coming out in a few weeks before playing Dragon Quest VII. You will burn out on VII.
>>721876282I'd considered that might be the case. And it's fair. I know older DQ has a bit of a reputation for being more brisk in some ways compared to FF.>>721877060I actually have physical copies of both versions of 7 and was considering dusting off my 3DS for it. I have emulating the DS and 3DS but my eyes are making it hard for me to do OG hardware on handhelds anymore. First world problems I guess.>>721876356>>721877142I think this will be my play. I played the DQ1 GBC release when I was a teen so it'll be cool to revisit the reimagined version and compare. And I'll save myself for 7's remake in the meantime.
>>721875963Go for the I and II remake before anything else. Make your choice once you're done with those
>>721873626I don't think that 12 would come out until at least the remakes if 4-6 and have the entire thing used as stealth marketing for it
>>721877524That's one of the things the leaker mentioned, VII would release before the zenithian remakes. And now just this week we had Horii saying that the reason behind it is because they finished VII remake first
>>721877613Hopefully a new remake of IV will have a decent localization. I'm not buying it if they just transfer that shit from the DS/Smartphone version into the game.
>>721867329Make losers seethe
They should've added 10 more vignettes/islands in the new DQVII to filter even more tourists.
>>721876338he's not a dev per se but he's pretty much one of they key people responsible on how Dragon Quest was made back then considering he was trying to get some coverage for game development for SJ. it ended up having Shueisha and Enix doing a collab for one, which explains why Toriyama was also involved in the first place.
Dragon quest is the best!!!
Rocket slime is the best
I want to play more X online but getting a sub is so annoying.
>>721867329GOD why does it even matter chuddy? how does it affect you personally? literally NO ONE cares.
>>721867329Its literally older than the culture war and is only used to pot stir now. For the same reason MAGAtards will be hypocrites and cut off their noses to spite their own faces to own the libs, danger hairs clap when they see meaningless pandering like this. Its zero effort, zero risk culture war brownie points that works because it gets under your skin and normies just see you sperging out over nothing. You give them the W reacting to it.
I will not play Dragon Quest again until they remake and expand 9.Best class system.Best party system.Doesn't have oversized party with too much dialogue.But F U C K Elementary Training. Elementary Training is among my least favorite quests in vidya history
>>721853539Still a ways off from getting back on it with DQ4.PS1 or DS or NES?
>>721882514ds with party chat restoration patch
Choose.
>>721883792Bianca. Next.
>>721853879>High Quality / "Localization Quality" Englishis this the ratio of actual english to lolcalizer english?
Why the fuck don't Dragon Quest Heroes 1/2 ever go on sale anymore?
>>721885010honestly pirate them at this point
Should I play 3 remake or GBC? I played 1 and 2 on GBC already.
>>7218852473 remake totally. I just got to the vocation changing and the game absolutely immerses you with its new graphics
>>721854586>3 terrible fucking optionsplease kys. OP play dq3 nes for gameplay or snes for presentation, v ps2 and viii ps2 if youre not a tranny.
>>721853539I beat XI and wanted to play the S version but honestly the game is already too long so I can't be bothered.
>>721885964Rocket slime is fun, 3 hd-2d is a great game for newcomers just like 8 3ds. Stop making people play old shit non user friendly versions of games just so they hate this series idiot>>721886283Valid opinion but I feel like every dragon quest is a fun adventure to guide your time. Length doesn't matter too much to me because its always fun and whimsical
>>721886358Well I didn't feel it was too long the 1st playthrough. In fact I actually liked how long it was but to play through it again for minimal changes it's a different story. I'll maybe play it again years later when I've mostly forgotten stuff.
Why the fuck would I play the game that ruined a whole genre? It made all turn based game the EXACT FUCKING SAMEplay Ys for an actual good game since Ys isn't just 'Menus: The Game'
>>721886518Ys is the most insultingly barebones action RPG series ever made. Fuck you criticise DQ but Ys is even more basic than DQ is.
>>721886358theres literally no reason to play 3ds viii. the extra content is absolute garbage. not even close to being worth totally ruining the graphics and music (the best part of the game). in an emulator upscaled to HD viii is still the best looking dq game. rocket slime is fine but suggesting to start with it is retarded. 3hd is the second worst version of the game besides the fucking mobile port. gbc has the most content, snes has the best visuals and music, and nes has the best/most balanced gameplay.
>>721886554You're an actual faggot if think that turn based shit is superior to having a game with actual control, it's why final fantasy 7 was remade as an action rpg
>>721886584Go back to Fortnite zoomer since you're incapable of actually using your head in a video game.
>>721853539No.
>>721853539Fine, I'll play 7 3DS again to build the immigrant town and play in the casino one last time. Fuck Europe.
>>721886626Ok grandpa, go back to saying "games were better back in my day"
truth nvke: the only game worth playing in this shitty overrated generic franchise is VIII. literally any other jrpg that even tries to have a plot beyond "destined hero must slay le epic evil cartoonish villian" will be far more interesting. the gameplay is never good either, you just spam the handful of best moves the entire game like every other jrpg.
Sorry, wasnt expecting company tonightThe fucksNow i gotta deal with companyI'll get back to it timorrow eveningMy bad
>>721886706Nigger even looking at Falcom alone had their best success they've had in years with the Sky remake. How's Ys been doing these days? Oh right.
Just reached Probina, am I at least halfway done now?
>>721886760>Preaching salesZelda is more popular than either
>>721853539Spiritually dead series.
>>721886828>instant moving of the goalpost after getting proven wrongConcession accepted.
>>721886870Every dodge roll simulator is more popular than faggot quest
I need Dragon Quest Builders 3.
>>721853539Everything after 5 had too much story. I'm here for equipment autism, dungeon exploration, and mindless grinding with the emulator set to max speed, not to get a job and a waifu.
>>721853745I played it this summer until near the end.Around the second half of the second arc of the game the translation becomes completely machine translated and with many important dialogues being untranslated.Also for some reason the bad guy in arc 2 has his laugh translated as "cockety coo" or something like that iirc.>>721884901>is this the ratio of actual english to lolcalizer english?From what i've played the translation is infinitely more faithful than official localizations.The problem is the machine translated stuff which is wildly inconsistent.
>>721888335What equipment autism? The equipment system in even the most complex DQ game is still basic for JRPG standards.
I'm playing XI, a few hours in and it's pretty fun so farbut the soundtrack is repetitive as shit, does it get better?
>>721888987Only by changing to the VIII sound track in the settings
>>721867329TOTALWOKEGENOCIDESOON
>>721888987>does it get better?lol
>>721888697Exactly. I don't want to think about a fucking loadout. I just want >go to new area>visit shop>look at the new shit they sell>grind around town until I can buy it all>defense and attack go up>go to next areaIf the game is correctly balanced this will level me the right amount to be ready for the next part.
>>721889350That's not equipment autism then. You don't use "autism" for something you don't want to think about. That's basically the opposite of how you're supposed to use that. You say autism for something that's really complex and in depth that you can really sink your brain into.
>>721884901In the cutscenes they manually translated, they do have some accents and stuff to feel like an official English translation.
>>721872965>still raw about them dropping pachisi track thoughSadly every DQ moving forward will be dropping all casinos and casino related things cause of PEGI.
Is Dragon Quest 3 HD Remaster extremely easy, or is this just the beginning?I started playing in “draconian” mode, and the first three hours are considerably easier than the SNES version. The normal mode on the SNES is about three times harder than the hard mode on the remaster... WTF were these guys thinking?Why include a difficulty option if hard mode is easy? Imagine not even having the balls to offer a challenge behind an extra option that normalfags won't even choose.
>>721892064It gets a lot harder later. Postgame is actual bullshit on Draconian unless you were min-maxing your party.
I really need to finish DQM3 but each time I go back I only play like one layer. I just saw the hero's town get wiped out by Psaro's brother so I'd hope I'm in the second half of the game.
>>721888012>DQB1an alternate reality where the hero sided with the Dragonlord>DQB2a sequel to 2 where Hargon's forces are still active and Malroth's full story is revealedhow do you envision a DQB3? Would it relate to DQ3 somehow or should it be tied to the Zenithia trilogy?
>>721881846>until they remake and expand 9.Wasn't there a plan for it even way before DQ3 hd2d was announced?
>>721892064the early game of the remake is just kinda butchered with all the extra stuff they throw at you, not that the game was particularly hard by any means but the remake seems be specifically designed and catered to really avoid getting the player into any sort of struggle early on
>>721892730>a sequel to 2 where Hargon's forces are still active and Malroth's full story is revealedBuilders 2 is actually set on the same timeline as Builders 1.
Censored slop franchise.Even if it wasn't censored, it'd still be fucking boring.
Well, I just 100% DQ3. Now I feel all hollow inside. Adrift. What the fuck am I supposed to do now
>>721897213Wait for dq1+2 or play DQM: terrys wonderland on 3ds
>>721897213Play a game that isn't complete dog shit would be a good start.
>>721897592Nobody likes you
