>>724178984>>724180824>>724181009obvious samefag is obvious
>>724181413*punches you hard in the face* only thing that's obvious is your fat ass is going down if you keep talking lmfao
>>724181413>HE DOESN'T AGREE WITH ME SO HE MUST BE SAMEFAGING!It will upset you more to know will be getting paid to also play Dragon Quest 1 and 2.Then paid even more to do my marathon run of 1 2 3.
>>724182054nah i meant the thread was on page 10 and then two posts appeared to disagree with the OP
>>724182054>It will upset you more to know will be getting paidIn your dreams, foreigner.
>>724178984retards will buy HD2D slop anywaysee >>724180824 >>724181009
>>724184182>Thinking im a jeet.Thanks for helping prove more and more what /v/ is these days.I bet you dont even weaponize your hobby for income.
>>724178984Is this official art?
>>724186476yes, quite sad
>>724184752Anon, nobody is buying games to spite random anons who don't know they exist. Five minutes after the thread dies everyone here will forget the demakes exist.
>>724186726I hope you're rightI guess we'll find out once the demakes release
>>724186896>I guess we'll find out once the demakes releaseWe already know because literally nobody is talking about this game.It comes out in FIVE DAYS.
>>724186896>Dragon Warrior is the most bare bones game ever with next to little story what so ever.>Implying the remake is a demake because it removed something.What did it remove exactly?You cant claim its changes to the monsters, these are all the monsters in Dragon Warrior so no troll censorship here.Dragon Quest also didnt have up left or right sprites for movement, your character faced in only one direction and had 2 frames of animation and last I checked there was plenty more then that in this remake.So what exactly did Dragon Quest 1 HD-2D demake, what did it take away, id love a good example.
>>724178984Okay, I have never played DQ1-3, but is it one of those games where the party is silent and doesn't have personality?
>>724189586Dragon Quest 1 is a single player who never speaks.Dragon Quest 2 is 3 party members, now 4, they talk to one another.Dragon Quest 3 nobody speaks.
>>724189850>nobody speaksI pity anyone with aphantasia.
>>724189850>Dragon Quest 3 nobody speaks.FUCK, that really sucks. I heard 3 was the best one.
>>724190105Nah, I remember starting DQ with V on the DS and being enamored with the dialog and characters, and I remember being completely disappointed with IV (which I liked more than V) when I found out it did not have character interactions.
>>7241901073 is the best one for many reasons.The story going on in the background is interesting.You have the best customization in your party members and can change their class as much as you want, it reverts them back to level 1 but you keep half of your stats meaning you can have tanks if you wish.The world is large and fun to explore and when you think its over you get to explore another large world.The final boss is the best in the series for the music alone.If you enjoy having fun, 3 is the way to go, if you want the best story you wanna play Dragon Quest 5, if you want the best story with your party members play 11.Its that simple.
>>724190279Did you know that the DS American version of Dragon Quest 4 removed party interactions because they didn't have the time/funding to translate it, and that you can get a translated version of DQ4 on DS with the Japanese party interactions applied back into the game?
>>724189334>What did it remove exactly?Difficulty. Atmosphere. The holistic nature of the experience by undermining its own decisions at every turn. DQ1 works really well as a sort of puzzle box. The surrounding areas to the castle are extremely low level, and get more difficult the further out you go. And because all battles are one-on-one, you need to intimately know which encounters you are able to handle, who you can outspeed, what their damage values are, etc. It also creates a push-your-luck mini game where you are trying to see how far you can get before dying or you risk losing half of your gold, which in the NES version was a huge deal cause you didn't make buttfuck money until right before the final area of the game, and all the best stuff is in there anyways.Even just looking at the trailers, I can see them inserting things into the game that ultimately disrupt that flow and casualize the experience. Like they are apologizing for making the Mona Lisa because people these days prefer men in their paintings, so they give you give you AR glasses that impose a mustache and adam's apple while you look at the painting instead of standing by it.I'm not that anon, and I'm buying it anyways, but I'm doing so with the explicit understanding that I will probably never love this game and it's riding on the good will built up by its legacy.
>>724192914>It lowered the difficulty in Dragon Quest 1.>By adding more monsters to fight in a battle, against one person.>It removed the atmosphere.>The atmosphere of being totally alone in a unknown world going on an adventure.You do know the lose half your gold mechanic is in every Dragon Quest and was never removed, and its not removed in this one too.You sound very autistic and are just looking for excuses to hate something you really have no idea what it is exactly.My advice, don't play games anymore, you obviously hit a point you don't like anything so its best to get a newer hobby, or stop playing rpgs.
>>724190689I thought it was because the devs thought the Westerns would be too stupid to want it, so they dropped it.
>>724178984the only DQ game i games i care about are the latest onesand on that note when the FUCK is 12 releasing
>>724178984I loved the 3 remake and I'm excited for these.
>>724181009based chadffy DQ enjoyer
>>724178984Will I lose anything by playing these before DQ3R?
>>724195092You would know what I'm speaking is truth had you ever actually touched the original series. We've already seen changes that DQ3's HD remake brought, and they were along the same lines of undermining the gameplay. There is no reason to believe they won't do that here (like giving you an automatic free zoom and allowing you to escape the dungeon with it without having to cast the other escape spell first provided you had it).
>>724198768yes, actually 1 and 2 is sequel of 3; I really loved the remakes, i haven't played a comfy adventure like this in forever. Square really nailed the graphics/comfy department. Which is really sad because it shows they can still do a good jrpg, but final fantasy are tied to being movies abominations
>they can add a minimap>they can add voice acting>they can add additional classes/party members>they can add new cutscenes and dialogue>but they can't add character animations in battleIt's so fucking stupid. Yes, I know the originals were first person I already played them and the SFC remakes. No, I don't buy the Pokemon-tier excuse that it wouldn't fit the "feel" of DQ. It feels incredibly cheap to see your characters in battle only for it to switch to first person when the turn begins. They ape the HD2D style but can't even do battle animations for your party?
>>724199684>You would know what I'm speaking is truth had you ever actually touched the original series. I got Dragon Warrior as a child sent in the mail to my home because I was a subscriber to Nintendo Power and they did a promotion where you got the subscription and received a free game, I got Dragon Warrior, it was maybe my first Nintendo game I remember playing and I used to play it with my mother.You can swallow a fat cock, your gay arguments are as bad as the others who try to justify a shit opinion, its always the same thing.Either I'm brown or I never played the game, but never the less, you are retarded.oh and I did come to bump the thread just to argue with you.
>>724178984I do not like the DQ2 protag's hat.
>>724190107If you want to play 3, play either the NES, SNES, or GBC versions. Same with 1 and 2. Fuck the modern remakes of 1-3.>>724178984When will Square-Enix finally go under? FFXIV is dying, their games are constantly being woke with unnecessary censorship and shit translations(Why have they not tell the dumb fucks to fuck off?) and cut content which is hurting them pretty badly.
>>724190107>>724202046play the SNES copy if possible, its so damn good.

>nooooo i have to press one less button to use zoom, the games are completely ruined
>>724201450Where did you get this stale pasta from?
>>724178984Tell me something positive about it or are you just some grummz wannabe posting ragebait
I know big game devs like this don't really give a shit what fans have to say, but surely all the negative feedback about these ugly ass designs must be reaching them, right? Are they really so under the thumb of the modern gaming stink that they even if they want to just leave all this gay "modern audience" shit out, they just can't?
>>724202793They need to stop pandering to this so called modern audience since it does not exist. Why do they pander to something that does not exist? That needs to come to an end unless they want to go bankrupt.
>>724178984>biggest flop in Square Enix history.Biggest flop so far.
>>724202793>>724202917>WHY WONT THEY PANDER TO ME!Your 40...they are in their teens.You will be 60, when they will be 30.People are supposed to age out of video games, especially by 40 and gen Z are not buying video games.You didnt find it strange as a child your parents was being marketed to for music from their generation and not yours?Same thing.Welcome to the ride, you are getting the gaming equivalent of NOW THATS WHAT I CALL 90'S GAMING! "I know dragon quest was 80's."You have the buying power, they dont, but they need to attract the buying power of the younger generation, and they couldnt, so now they are making non stop remakes to coddle to your buying power.Make sense yet gramps?your getting your nostalgia, they get a modernized game.I cant wait till we are 60 and playing the same damned remake again for a third time.
>>724202560>something positive about itThere's nothing positive about it

>>724204534Give me $500 and I will stop.Until then eat shit.
>>724204375Gen Z has no money because they do not want to work so they cannot afford to buy games and besides they never buy the game anyway even if they have the money. Devs need to stop pandering to those broccoli headed faggots because they cannot afford games.
>>724204629The fuck do you need $500 for?
>>724204647>Gen Z has no money because they do not want to work>DEY JUST DUN WANNA WORKY WORK WAAHH!I love that cope, I dont know a single person who isnt working right now, cry EVEN HARDER!>Cant buy games because bills are so damn high.>DEY JUS DUN WANNA WURK!

>>724204873You didn't pay me either.Or donate to charity with proof.Hows my shit taste.
>>724204886NTA but I'm a zoomer and I want to work but no one will hire me.
>>724185390You are a gay fooking nigglet. A tranny ESLfag. You should feel ashamed of who and what you are.
>>724204886I don't know what liberal hell hole you live in, but I hired a kid who is 18 and busting his ass to pay for his dads cancer treatments, and I got another one starting Monday who has a kid on the way.So you can quit with the "young kids dont wanna work" shit. Just because you saw some rich kids brat dosen't mean its every person.Clocks ticking fuckers, I got nothing but time, its Saturday Night.
>>724185390anon are u admitting that you are a paid shill jeet?

People are getting sick of seeing that hair style in my area.>>724205040Ones you hired probably doesn't have that shitty broccoli hair style right? Never hire them with that shitty hair style because they are usually arrogant and lazy. My boss at work will not hire anyone that has that hair style because of that and what he saw with them.

>>724205257Then get off this thread if you want to be a whiny bitch about it.
>>724205342I don't have the broccoli meme hair and they DON'T want to hire me. I think it's because I'm a NEET and have no work experience. They'd rather hire some gay diversity hire probably (which is funny because I have multiple mental disabilities, so wouldn't they at least hire me too?)>>724205359Fuck you. Just stop already.>>724205497>picAnon, the ones getting the banhammer are you faggots for trying to flamewar.

>>724206868well great news anon!A copy of it goes for less then $10 on ebay and you can still play it to this day!Go enjoy!
>>724206951Do you want full 3d experience like 11 or something?
>>724189586Fuck you, faggot. You're the cancer on why nobody ever shuts the fuck up in games anymore and companies waste money trying to appeal to cunts like you. I don't give a flying fuck about anybody in monster hunter, I just want to carve shit up, but because of you blubbering twats, every MH past 3 is bursting at the seams full of jackasses who can't stop yammering about and even worse, ruining my quests with their "plot"-based bullshit. Choke and die on twenty dicks, you fucking nigger.
>>724196932Real question is when is 9 remake
>>724207183Fuck 9. It's just a shit version of what 10 ended up succeeding at being.
>>724207149So you switched off shit posting with us to start attacking posters earlier in the thread?
>>724207245>Fuck 9. It's just a shit version of what 10 ended up succeeding at being.a much more shitty version of 8?
>>724207337You're acting like 8 wasn't a complete downgrade from 7.
>>724207534and you act like Final Fantasy didn't peak at 6 and that ever since then Square has been chasing its shadow.
>>724207612>6That's a weird ass way to spell 5.
What's the point of Dragon Quest?
>>724178984Everyone shut the fuck up. What game is the one with the naked purple cat bitch? I want to buy that one. It's a dragon quest game right? Pre-censorship wave?

>>724207874right about the boomerwrong about the replying to myself.The insults will stand however, even if I am wrong, it is what my boomer mentality dictates.
>>724207987>right about the boomerYes, I know. You called yourself a boomer and are still trying to deny it. This is typical boomer behavior. Which is even more embarrassing that you're that old and still don't fundamentally understand the problems that are going to exist in this version of the game.
>>724208252>Called self boomer.>Denied being a boomer.>By saying I was a boomer and had Nintendo Power and got the game.How and where did I deny it exactly?

>>7241901073 was popular because the job system was novel and unique at the time so it tickled the autism fancy of geeks who wanted to do builds and team comps.
>>724207183Probably after VII because despite being a dogshit game that's an awful follow up to DQ8 and is basically DQ3 if it was really shitt, Jappos loved it because of the streetpass/online shit and because it came out during the DS' dominance in Japan and given the entire reason we're getting a remake of another shitty game (DQ7) is because of Jappos loving it for some ungodly reason, yeah.

>>724212262>>DQ remakes are good8 wasnt
>>724211443Yeah, I saw that, but what do you think they will change in order to facilitate the balance of that, and how do you think that will affect the game? Do you think it will make it more difficult, or less? And how would you compare this to the changes already made in DQ3 HD vs NES?
>>724178984DQ has so many fucking remakes.1-4 NES5-6 SNES 1-3 remakes7 PS1 4 remake8 PS2 5 remake9 DS 4-6 remakes3DS 7 8 remakesCurrently 1-3 remade again and 712 is delayed indefinitely
>>724178984I don't know, I'm mildly curious how they'll fiddle with 7 this time. What they need to do is rerelease 3D version of 5.

>>724203257Based.
>>724178984
>>724190589>can change their class as much as you want, it reverts them back to level 1 but you keep half of your statsDoes this mean you can min max their stats to all get close to statcap, by repeatedly leveling and resetting and leveling back up? Like, If you start at 5/100 and then get to 70/100 the first time, reset back down to 35, then the +65 from leveling would take you to 100/100, right?
>>724212957So its not that you don't like the changes. Its that you don't like your headcanon of what you assume SE will do because of the changes.Aka, you're retarded.Cool.
>>724204375>censorship is gay>bro you're old they have to pander to teens you're old broHas literally nothing to do with anything. I get that you're autistic and/or retarded and don't know how to talk to people properly, but surely whatever mental block you have should be able to connect two dots together and not just ramble about incoherent shit.
>>724178984DQ is spiritually dead. XII will still be a hit but the soul is gone for good.
>DQ is spiritually dead because they removed thick lips
>>724219573Not exactly because there are milestone stat levels the game 'expects' certain classes to have and if you're way past them you can level up and just get +0 to a stat. Though fundamentally it's not an issue as the game isn't really that hard anyway
