Whats the best way to play DQ8?
>>731115442with one hand
>>731115442toriyama was a hack.
>>7311154423ds version adds a lot of cool new stuff (2 more party members, boss rematch gauntlet, photo mode, other postgame stuff im forgetting) and upscales nicely in an emulator, you just need to mod in orchestral ost and uncensored costumes which is easy anywaysif you really dont wanna play the 3ds version then the original is still as good as it's always been. i like it more with just the main four guys anyways but that's just me.
>>731116724>you just need to mod in orchestral ost and uncensored costumes which is easy anywaysDefinitely do this, because the non-orchestral rendition sounds like shit
>>731115442Don't fall for the Unarmed meme
>>731115442PS2. Only thing in my opinion the 3ds has over the PS2 version is the alchemy pot being maxed at the start.
What should the HD release add?
>>731115442I just started it and I'm playing 3DS version with the orchestra + uncensor mod. Pretty cool so far. It doesn't look as pretty as the PS2 version but all the QOL changes make it the best way to play
>>731117439The ability to mod the game so that people can replace the outfit textures and dialogue which Square Enix is almost certainly going to fuck up.
>>731115442>want to find a PS2 copy>first star has it but it's missing the ffxii demo disc>second is missing the demo disc and the manual (and charging even more)
>>731115442the fan-made mobile remaster (https://sites.google.com/view/dq8mr) which you can play on pc is basically the 3ds version but better, but it's still a mobile game with mobile UI so that sucks but they adapted it
>>731117983>it's missing the ffxii demo discWho cares? FF12 has been out for 20 years and the Zodiac Age is available on Steam. There's little reason for the demo disc outside collectability.
>>731118182I care because I like my games complete...
>>731115442First time? PS2. The 3DS party members are overpowered and make Yangus totally irrelevant. The graphics are worse. The extra story adds nothing. The new ending is cool but also just pandering. The new bosses are easily stomped by the new party members. 3DS is better for a replay.
>>7311154423ds versionThe cauldron takes a lot of time in the PS2 version.
>>731115442My vote goes to the PS2 version because the additional content from the 3DS version is not well integrated into the campaign, and it suffers from being a handheld title in certain areas.
>>7311154423DS version Uncensored + Orchestral patch. No random encounters, more content, more party members. The ps2 version doesn't even close.
>>731118127>balance changes and fanmade new itemsyeah no. Has anyone patched the JP PS2 version with orchestral OST?
>>731118127Is it stuck in portrait mode?
>>731118603>The ps2 version doesn't even closeMine closes just fine
>>731118924yeah I think soI have no idea why these guys put so much effort into a mobile portprobably because it's easier to mod
>>731117848>dialoguewont happen. the current dq writing is pretty set in stone. even fan translation nowadays do it in the pun british sryle nowadays with the Dqm 3ds remakes
>>731118127>balance changes and fanmade itemsnope.
>>731115442PS2 if you care about graphics. 3DS if you care about more content. In an ideal world they would do a re-release that has PS2 graphics with the 3DS content.
>>731119129Square would never allow modding at all with any of their games, so the idea that they'd be fine with making the game moddable is ridiculous from the start. Of course they wouldn't be fine with players ignoring their precious localization, but they'd object just as much to players modding out their censored outfits or anything else players might want to put into the game.The guy opposed to orchestral soundtracks is dead now so at least Square wouldn't be opposed to putting them into the game, so that wouldn't be a point of contention. They'd probably want to just sell it as DLC.
