choose wise Luminary
>>722872814I wanted to like this game, but the poor localization was too distracting. I only got up to the part where the gay man joins.
>>722872814I choose Lizlette.
>>722872970Damn so you didn't even get to the mermaid society that speaks exclusively in painfully forced rhymes?
>>722872814*wisely
>>722872814Left only dates black guys so her.
>>722874070Based.
>>722872814I loved this game I should revisit it. Also Martina.
>>722872814I choose my Mistress-wife.
mia best girl.She is literally kid from chrono cross with blue hair
>>722872814Seenya
>Loving this game>stopped before the time travel thingUp to this day I remain unspoiled but I refuse to start the game all ovr again
Is MC x Gemma a problematic ship considering the MC canonically beat Gemma up when they were children?
>>722874450I like Videl’s mom
>>722874070good morning saar
>>722872814
>>722875060This reverse colonized trope is underrated.
Veronica. I choose Veronica.
>>722872814I prefer big boobs in real life. But Serena had the best personality and character in the game. I picked her.>>722872970Sadly, I could only get through it because I know Japanese. But that created a new pain. When I could recognize every time the translation was off. Which was about 70% of the time.>Japanese character says 2 words>translation turns it into 25 and completely flips the meaning to something opposite of what the original Japanese was saying>"flavor"
>>722872814Realistically, if you're the gigachad chosen one and a prophesized hero with multiple women eyeing your cock, wouldn't they be okay with a harem arrangement?
>>722877772her HJ vid is the best
>>722875921Your autistic, luddite screeching is not going to make any difference in AI usage.
>>722874951Yeah she looks exactly like what kid should have looked like. I wonder if they swapped both during an irl a time warp.
This game is unironically waaaaay too fucking long.. probably played 100+ hours and got to act 2 where i got back the gay dood and the old man back in the party and just kinda dropped it ....and now it's been like 4 years almost , goddaamn iiiiit
>>722884332It's not that it's too long but the pacing is bad. Because it goes against two of the main tenants of Dragon Quest. Dragon Quest 8 is also over 100 hours long but it doesn't feel that long. Because you have a lot more free exploration and story is delivered through exploration. Rather than "go to location, trigger 30 minute cutscene, repeat 100 times."Dragon Quest XI's problem is it took the modern JRPG pill. And I hope to god Dragon Quest XII goes back to the older formula.
>>722874951>She is literally kid from chrono cross with blue hairShe looks like her but she has a much better personality and doesn't have mary sue syndrome like Kid does.
>>722884857>Dragon Quest 8 is also over 100 hours long but it doesn't feel that long.I agree with your other points but naaah... DQ8 was my very first DQ game i ever played back in like 2005-2006 and i remember it took me no longer than 75 hours back then.And i thought it was mega long (until i played Persona 3 which was like 10-15 hours longer heh)
Hey this is a perfect thread to ask. What DQ games can I play on a hacked 3DS?
>>7228852544,5,6 DS Versions7 and 8 3DS versions with the Orcastra music mods if you wantYou can emulate the Snes versions or GBC if they don't work for some reason of 1,2 and 39 is only on DS so there is that as well.
>>7228852541 through 9 and XI
>>722885624>>722885637>basically the whole seriesFuckin nice.
>>7228856241,2,3 and three also have 3ds eshop versions (JP only though)
>>722885254Technically all of them. Just depends on how much effort you want to put in. But not all of them are the best versions of each game. Though since they seem to be doing remakes for every game yet again, that will probably change soon again.
>>722886060I was thinking of going with the 1 2 and 3 remakes but I don't like the fact they're censoring things. Sure I could mod them but fuck supporting censorship.
>>722885254>What DQ games can I play on a hacked 3DS?buddy boi my bud... this isnt fuckin' 2010 anymore. Just throw that shit brick away and get like an attachable controller for your phone and you can play anything via emulation easily. Not to mention the 3ds screen resolution being absolute gaaaarbage and pixellated as fuck. I ONLY go back to my 3ds if i want to play games in 3d, other than that its useless
>>722886242They didn't censor anything. People on 4chan and Resetera keep wanting to create controversy. That said, the HD version of 3 has a problem that they removed Parcheesi and then added a bunch of useless additional stuff. So the Super Famicom version is actually better. The remakes of I+II aren't out yet so I can't say if they're better or worse yet.
The childhood friend. Also still mad you can't restore Veronica for good. You can temporarily, and you even kill the mage who did it to her, but magically for no good reason, can't help her. Retarded Japs as usual.
>>722886618It's because the whole point of her is to be a contrast with her twin sister. If they weren't going to do that, they would just have one character. Adult Veronica. But also, Veronica was the writers favorite character and kind of the focus of DQXI for him.
>>722874070HOPE YOU'VE GOT ANTIFREEZE EARRINGS +3 x2 EQUIPPED
>>722879580what are some of the more meaningful differences you noticed and i dont mean sperg shit like "hey are you ok" vs "oi m8 yew feelin alright? ya took a nasty blow there innit"
>>722887953I won't need them.https://files.catbox.moe/6pxmrz.png
>>722888095The changes in accents are some of the biggest because to make them work, they completely changed the characters personalities or altered the tone of areas. Mermaids don't speak in rhymes in the original Japanese. Characters in that one town don't speak in faux Italian accents, repeating everything they said twice. And no one speaks French at the school. Etc.These don't seem like big deals unless you know how the original version handled it. Rather than having everyone in the school speak in a French accent, the characters speak in different tones and styles. The headmaster speaks in a silly way, while the scolding teacher speaks in a serious, almost condescending tone. And the teacher behind the counter talks in a sultry way, making suggestive comments. This means every character has their own personality and character type. While in the English, everyone in the school is just 'le funny french, oui" Making them all the same personality and type.Now magnify that over hundreds of characters across the world. In short, the original Japanese is actually the one with the "flavor" to it. Because there's a much more varied range of character personalities.Beyond this, some other major changes are Sylv's personality, where there's more layers to his personality in the Japanese. THe citizens of Hutto don't speak in Haiku's. They speak a more formal/old version of Japanese, but otherwise speak normally. As not to kill the mood of the dramatic events in that story arc. The watchers in the sky DON'T TALK LIKE SCREAMING SPERGS. Which never made any sense because it's literally a plot point that they taught language to the humans below. And on that note, how are there dozens of different accents across the world when it's also a plot point that everyone in the world speaks one language? Do these people not even know how accents work?And that's just some of the ones I can remember. There's lots of others.
>>722872970I've completed it despite my absolute hate of this localizationthe fucking hotto steppe and the mermaids can fuck right offi had to use me limited japanese language to actually understand what the fuck they were talking abouti sincerely hope that whoever is in charge of this shit dies slow and painful death
>>722875620Game ruining cunt should have stayed dead.
I finished just about all of DXQI (barring a couple last trials and optional bosses) in English. Do you guys know if there's an un-fucked translation you can patch the game with? I'm guessing not as it'd be a huge task.>>722890997How so?
>>722888095There aren't any.
>>722890997It's the hero and his lack of awareness that forced you to go through all of Act 2 and 3. But of course, in reality, it's the writing and focus on cutscenes. Most Dragon Quest games are actually really good at having events delivered well. But Dragon Quest XI went full retard. And I think it's because they developed the cutscenes and the in game story separately. Horii took on the Final Fantasy style of storytelling where he had some big events in mind. Then wrote a bunch of stuff in between. Usually it's the other way around in his writing. The reason I think this is because he said in an interview that he always had the idea of Veronica and her death right from the start. And wrote the story around it. So the fault is he didn't develop the stuff leading up to it or after it as well as he should have. And the hero is literally just an observer, not an active player. Same problem as Dragon Quest VI.
stupid rape meat
>>722872814Veronica. I'm not a lolifag though and would take her normal version. Best personality. Serenica off of looks and personality.Jade is the hottest, but she's so fucking bland.
>>722872814What does it say about me if I went for Nera in Dragon Quest V and Jade in Dragon Quest XI?
>>722872970I really liked the game. When I came to /v/ to talk about it after, I couldn't understand a word anyone was saying. Hotto? Serena? Jade? Luminary? About the only name in the game they didn't change was Veronica.
>>722875620I pick this one.
>>722894252Why do people go to all this effort to color images and then only do one layer? Not the full three layers of shading. It just looks unfinished.
AAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVERONICA-SAMA BAIL ME OUT PLEASE
>>722894053I played it in my language's localisation and a lot of the names were different, especially the monsters and bosses. Bit of a pain to discuss it in English
>>722894053But all the changes made it better.
>>722872970The localization isn't even really the bad part, its how it desperately tries to be serious during story beats but it never earns it because of how silly everything is. I saw this game recommended by JRPG fans, and I like JRPGs, I'm really into SaGa and Trails but also other modern conventional popular ones. Yet DQ was so fucking stale, arguably traditional and safe to a fault. I suppose if you're yearning for something nostalgic and you're 40 or you're a child and you're 6 this is probably cool, but it was way too boring. I got the "first ending" and couldn't not be bothered to grind to beat the first boss after the time travel reveal shit
>>722874326Based and snowbunny pilled
>>722883582rape arisu
>>722900063This is because you're playing the EOP version.The best way to describe the difference between DQ and DQ:4kids edition is that the first is like a Disney movie (Aladdin or Lion King, not the nu-slop), and the latter is mindrotting infant entertainment like teletubbies. Sure, both things appeal to children, but one is universal and the other is intolerable when you're above the age of 5.
>>722900325No the game was also really boring and repetitive so yeah.
>>722874070FUCKYOU FUCKING FUCKER STOP LIKI G EVIL WOMEN AAAAAAAA>bbbut muh redempti-FUCK YOU
