why is Dq6 considered the "black sheep" again
>>
Because Dragon Quest VI is one of the lazier games in terms of it's story and characters.
It had a couple good ideas with the advanced vocations but when main cast are mostly forgettable aside for Terry in a series know for it's characters then you can begin to understand it's problem.
Ashlynn (Barbara) is still cute tho

I respect the effort, but $60 seems like a huge ask when they're doing the whole trilogy.

All the VI art there was actually by Nakatsuru. He has a lot of obvious tells once you get more familiar with his art.

>characters
I find this such a strange complaint since DQ4 was the only game before 7 to give any real spotlight to its characters, meanwhile in DQ5 every character besides protag's father and the prince is a doormat and that game always gets a pass. Wife and children are merely plot devices and no one would give a rats ass about Sancho if the game existed only in its SFC form. Its remakes use party chat as a crutch and that's all people ever reference when talking about DQ5 characters, yet for some reason 6 is never afforded even half the leeway.
This is of course ignoring how contrived DQ5's story can be like with the time travel shenanigans or the Z dragon being stuck in a minecart. And I'm not even defending DQ6's story or characters, I appreciate DQ games for much more than those, but over the years I've only come to notice how weirdly selective DQ fans can be towards certain games.
>>
When do we bother setting up a /vg/ league team
>>
>>486880275
Well for me my complaint is rooted in my own experience. I didn't start with the Older QD games, I started with 4 in either '99 or 2000 as a kid. Then I played 7 the year after it came out and the first one I played on release was 8.
Emulation kind of wasn't a thing back in the day. So when DQ 6 finally released on the DS I went in with the expectations I had from my own experience and I just didn't like the characters and found them forgettable.
What you say is true about 5 but for others like, oh, the Japanese audience, they fucking love characters that are doormats. Also there's a little novelty in whole wife thing so that's why people like and remember whoever they chose.
A game doesn't get known as a black sheep until there are at least a few others to compare it to.

I for one enjoyed them. There's the obvious problem of a few story beats being left unfinished in the game but I don't think they are worse than other DQ's somehow.
>>
Why is it that only DQIII has major rom hacks? Why isn't there one for IV, V, and VI? You'd think at least IV would but the closest thing we have is a fan game for V which has you play as the daughter of Papas and a short prequel.

But then with 3 you have dozens.

It looks like a parody but it's actually fantastic. It rivals the original story even. It's only in moonrunes though.
>>
>>486880275
The thing is, DQ6 failed to give any relevance to the characters in a game where characterization is minimal.
DQ4 gave some spotlight to most of the cast. Ragnar, Alena and the twins get their respective chapters and you get a sense of how they act and they continue to be part of the plot, while Kyril and the old man are kinda so-so. DQ5 is similar because the characters are always part of the story and they contribute something to it, whether it's Pankraz, the wife or the kids.
In DQ6, only Milly (whose backstory is completely ommited and left up to the player), Terry and Carver have some significant spotlight. Ashlynn has two or three important moments, but her big moment is underwhelming because the plot fails at making you care for her. Then you have Nevan, who only joins because the goddess told him so and he is barely involved with anything that happens at all.

Here's a question for anyone who might know better than me.
Since DQ XII was announced over three years ago at this point Toriyama would have obviously had time and been able to design the characters. But when these characters are revealed, whenever that may be, will they be the last characters designed by Toriyama for anything? Is there something else Toriyama worked on that hasn't been revealed yet or the like?
>>

>>487033109
From what we know fro various interviews of Toriyama he loves designing DQ because he only has to do a design once then other people handle the other art. We've seen image attach for how it goes. So we likely at least have the main party and the final boss designed by him. The real feel for the loss of Sugiyama and Toriyama will be DQ XIII.

We're long past the age of Collector's Editions being worth it. The last one I was tempted by was the one for Black Myth Wukong but that sold out instantly.
>>487076049
I don't get why Japs love these acrylic block things so much. It would be one thing if it was for something like a chess set or they were posed in a cool way, but they're just standing there. I guess it's cool that they also have back sprites, regardless, I just don't get the appeal.

I would spend $80 for just the game and the book

This CE is going to be pretty valuable in the future. The game cart itself includes the Japanese sub this time. Also the moment it sold out the bitching about the price vanished and now there's bitching about it being gone.

>>487159614
Really hard to decide. I definitely want a Monster Master, and I'm considering a Gadabout for funnies, but that leaves me either missing out on the cool new physical skills from a warrior/fighter or playing a good chunk of the game (On hard mode, of course) without a dedicated healer.

>>
>>487205516
That's the torneko chapter right?
I totally forgot how it worked, but you can easily get ×99 of all equipment including cautery swords.
Cautery sword is a pretty good weapon when Torneko joins you and you can sell the other 98 for big money.
If I remember right once you get your own shop you do the mini game untill someone sells you a cautery sword.
You can easily make tons of cash that doesn't carry over in the next chapters in this chapter so you buy 99* cautery swords and other equipment as a way to carry over the mad dosh you make.
I think that is the biggest thing in this chapter
>>
>>487205516
What do you mean strat? you just play the chapter.
Unless you really feel like going out of your way to get a cautery sword there's nothing special you need to do.

You don't use him. Good character story-wise, but the worst in the party. Spellcaster support if you really want to use him.
>>
>>487375275
He’s a good spellcaster. Use him if you want two Veronicas or two Serenas on your team. He’s also got some niche utility stuff exclusive to him as well if I remember correctly. I never used him much on my first playthrough but I used him a lot on my other ones. I’d definitely recommend him.

A Hero,
B Martial Artist -> Sage,

i think knights are redundant to start out with cause the hero starts off with largely the same stats and can equip nearly everything the knight can anyway
abilities might change my comp but i doubt it

So apparently the DQ III remake will have voiced cutscenes as confirmed on their >x account about an hour ago.
I don't know If I like that idea or not, I just hope Square get a good voice cast and they don't just turn to "industry professionals" that'll half ass their roles.

>>487434537
Gonna be honest, I sort of miss the era of misleading box art and character designs.
Enix games of the time certainly had that but the champs of misleading art are still Capcom and Konami.
>>
>>487447950
We've known that since the first previews hit youtube. I'm not worried, Dragon Quest games usually get good voice acting.

Which are you talking about? Because Xenlon/the divingon is the only one that is really annoying.
Unless you're talking about the Gameboy version of III in which case the GranDragn is extremely annoying.
Speaking of GranDragn If they do put him in the remake I really hope they don't make it to where you need to get all the monster medals to fight him

3D but not the shit 'we want the FF audience' 3D they used for X's CG cutscenes, DQH1+2, and console XI.
I want something like VIII, Monster Battle Road Victory, IX's cutscenes, and 3DS XI, but in higher quality. Something like Sparking Zero or webmrel, maybe. A style that actually tries to bring the art to life.
>>
>>487463786
I can hear that webm
>>
>>487462339
>>487463786
This if they remake V it should be in full 3D with a style like XI or VIII. Expand the monster capturing by adding a little more depth from the Monsters series - add breeding and traits and things. Have your chosen wife affect the state growth/abilities of your children too. I’d want more/expanded content but nothing that messes up the pacing too much. Side quests centered around what happens to the unchosen brides could be fun, an optional quest you can undertake to help Harry after he becomes king, etc.

It's weird to try to imagine what the hero of XII might look like. Eleven's design got so much shit at reveal, but I really like it. I suppose there isn't any sort of design that will appeal to a majority of fans right off the bat.
>>
>>487487871
Alright. now here's an interesting question. If they were to remake IV, or any of the older sprite based games, in 3D what would you prefer?
Would You like if the kept the designs as faithful and accurate to their original versions as possible, or would you like to see characters get minor design changes in order to give them a little extra pizzaz.

Also just saying this before someone else does, but it's obvious that if they were to remake IV in any style there's no way in Hell Maya wouldn't be censored. We've already seen it happen.
>>
>>487492323
I'd want the designs kept faithful, although there is an allowance for added details afforded by high definition (like appropriate wear-and-tear on clothes, visible stitching, etc). I'd like it to follow the aesthetic of PS4 DQXI.
The DQHeroes redesigns don't ruin the games for me, but all that added filigree, embroidery, and other ornamentation is excessive and unnecessary.
>>
>>487491258
DQ XII's reveal will be... Interesting.
Because now that Toriyama is dead I feel like people are either going to be highly critical of the characters designs or people are going to go full retard and love them regardless just because Toriyama ""designed"" them. And God help you if you dare say anything negative about his last work lest you have the hyper autists screeching at you over it.
I just hope the girls are cute and the guys are cool.

Any features you guys wish they'd add in the 3make? I would have loved it if they made it so when you reclass a character their appearance/hairstyle/physique/etc. doesn't change, they just put on their new class' outfit.

Just skills for physical classes, which is already beyond confirmed. Amusingly, the only new class they added is also the one I wanted the most, so I can't bring myself to ask for much more than for the game to be fun

So with DQ7 3DS, you cant actually get the dlc tablets in your game anymore right? I know theres the archive but thats an existing save game that you can just play and not a method of adding the tablets to my own savefile right?
