First for DAI CHADS RUN THIS FUCKING GENERAL
need ze puff-puff
>>502013614>penisBASEDASED
>>502013614Why is there a trap dancing on a table in the middle of nowhere
>>502014879Random encounter occured
Tell me.Is the sage still just a priest + mage, or is the class different now?
>>502016294No one knows yet, but I suspect there will be some sage class exclusive spells/abilities
Reminder that Baramos has more friends than Hargon
is it just me or is rubiss' light at the beginning a bit "off" in an intentional way?I really hope they don't pull a fast one
favorite of the monsters games?
>>502018569QDM2 on gameboy color still to this day make me feel like it's a beautiful fairy tale. Dark prince felt way too low effort. I wanted to try DQMJ3 since I played the first one on DS but citra sucks so bad for it
>>502017170Yeah? Well Bar-am-ass doesn’t have a cute r63 counterpart, does he? Hargon wins again.
The Zenithian games have all been so disappointing for me... I struggled to get into 5 since I found the sidequest portions tedious and really wish that my wife would have had a bit more to do for how often it's brought up and now I've sat through 4 and the game has taken like twenty hours to actually build momentum.4 has some okay story quests. I liked the first two with the little heal slime and with the Russian girl but really felt the lack of party chat since I'm playing on ds. The later two dragged a bit and I really genuinely hated chapter 5.I think I might have done things out of order too. I've ended up going to the Zenithian Sword quest last and was stuck sailing all over the world multiple times trying to remember where all the locations were. I actually found chapter 5 to drag more than any of the previous chapters. The open world aspect is a pain in the arse and backtracking to each town trying to figure out what's different killed any momentum the game had going for it.The cast also kinda just feels pretty lopsided. I was eager to use the sisters since I enjoyed them in the warriors games but their abilities are so shit compared to the Russian trio that they just never slot in. I'm really feeling that these games don't suit me. I enjoyed 9 and 11 far more but the older ones like 4, 5 and 7 just don't tickle the same fancy.
>>502014879Well you see, the devil boy has shown a weakness to women with big boobs. The angel boy wants to kill him, and so hired a cheap prostitute to distract him so he can kill him.However, upon the revelation that the woman was not actually a woman, the devil boy becomes immediately annoyed and disinterested, punching away the angel boy, who realized now why the prostitute was so cheap.
Do we know if the swimsuit outfits are in 3 remake yet?
>>502020340i hate trubble too much to enjoy dark prince
>>502021082Hargon has never won
>>5020185692 remakeit's one of my favourite games and probably one of the best jrpgs ever made
>>502022586They are but it only changes men.
Man, 3make’s gonna make my OTP of Ortega’s son (female) and Kandar canonically impossible, isn’t it?
>>5020185691 for GBC
any mods for switch yet (60 fps)?
>>502027460You better be lying
The goddess was dead on with her insults, as usual.
You ARE going to answer all of the Goddess' questions truthfully, right, anon? You ARE going to stick with whatever result you get, right, anon? You're not some shameful dullard who looks up the test answers beforehand, right, anon?
why did we not get DQM for virtual console?
>>502035046Yeah, I don't even know what the questions affect
>>502035046May as well.
>>502035046I always lie in video games
>>502035046I hate women and would never tell the truth to one
You guys, I'm scared.I keep hearing a voice from under my bed asking if I want to be friends.
>>502035781Do you want to be friends?
>>502035781call an exterminator, you have ratsDO NOT under any circumstances confirm that it is a rat or speak back to it and absolutely do not become it's friendI personally recommend Smal rothexterminator, they've got at least six branches and are probably in your area
Do we know anything about personality and stat growths yet?
>>502036180Small Rat Exterminator*
Movement in the 3make feels like ass. I really hate this 2DHD shit.
>>502036262There's an in-game list that gives rough descriptions of their stat growths. Obviously not exact percentages.
Do you often dream?
>>502035046just read a book lol
>>502037313reading is gay & for nerds.
MEGISTRIS SEXOOOOOOOO
>>502036693Now there's a QoL upgrade
Have we learned if they did much to rebalance the game? Or should we assume all the old strategies are still the way to go?
>>502035205because they are going to make a compilation with the first two games gb & ps1 versions (not for international sale)
>>502038734Warriors and Martial Artists getting skills alone is a huge shake up. Not sure if spells get wisdom scaling or not but if they do then yeah the game's balance is completely redone.
>>502036150i would
Is the female Monster Wrangler supposed to look like Psaro?
>>502039498Damn, haven't kept up and didn't know those classes were getting skills. Weird thought since they were already some of the best classes but I guess it's safe to assume they'll tone down their attack scaling to compensate.
I hate the battle UI in DQIII 2DHD so much. Why is this game so fucking ugly?
Warning to future 3make players: There are battle voices in the game that you cannot turn off independently of the cutscene voices. When the Recruiter asks you what your party member sounds like, you'll be picking from a list of male and female voices that aren't tagged, regardless of what "Appearance" you picked. All the females in my party have man voices because I chose wrong from a list of generic voice descriptors.
>>502044461You know you can preview the voices right?
>>502044735I did not know that. Shit. I still hate that I can't turn the battle voices off.
>>502045213Just under the window there's a button prompt.I don't think it's that hidden.But yeah that's kinda dumb to allow turning off cutscene vocals but not battle vocals.
So have we figured out what some of the formerly gender exclusive personalities have been changed to? Amazon became Bodybuilder it looks like.
Only testing it out on emulator to get a feel of the changes before the Steam version is out. Calculations and personalities have been totally rebalanced.
Anyone getting ultra slowdowns on yuzu when there is depth of field? Like from 30 to 5 fps? How does it run on ryujin?
>>502013614Unf
>>502053818Anon there's a penis
>>50203086960fps will be default on PC. The mod we are waiting for is jiggle physics.
>>502054135For a sprite-based game?
>>502054231For a sprite-based game.
>>502054941Hardcore. I like it.
>>502044461they aren't tagged but males' are on the left and females' are on the right. Though pretty much all males ones are "buff gruff" while females ones have more range, with some being pretty much "cartoon young boy whose VA is a woman"also, do they actually speak? Cause it's just grunts, at that point yeah I'd want to disable them too
game runs kinda shit on ryujinxcan't even get stable 60 fps in some locations on 4080 and 12700kalso a couple of graphical issues
>>502048414Is Solitary still decent?
>>502061316The game runs perfectly fine for me but the audio is horrendous endless stuttering with it.
I have to wait until Christmas to play 3, have fun anons
>>502035046i got the king's encounter and had old memories suddenly fire up about how you had to do some shit to have idk the silly personality or something, couldn't remember the details so i just said "i'll just get out of the castle without talking to anyone, kings sounds like a retard anyway"got optimist, which i guess it's kinda true, though i don't get why you would get that
DQIII remake will be good, ive been waiting years. it will be good or everyone who reads this will become pic related
Whos gonna torrent before buying?
>>502075536I played the beginning on emulator pretending it's a demo
I wonder if sages still obsolete the other casters
Is pachisi in?
>>502075536Downloaded a switch emulator for the first time in my life to try the game out. It was alright, preordered on PC.
>>502075536how are you gonna do that when it has denuvo?
>>502079792The switch version doesn't
Do I finish my Brothership run and wait a few days to play 3make or abandon Brothership and jump right in? Brothership’s been kind of boring, but I’m just starting to get the button prompts down.
>>502081551Finish Brothership if you can. DQ3 isn't going to blow your mind.
Got my copy early. Lets gooo <3
Which of the Monsters games are best? The color ones, the ds ones, or the 3ds remakes?
>>502081551i'm at the second beacon in brothership but yeah i kinda dropped it in favor of DQ3. It's okay cause the game has "here's what you were doing" for everything so it should be easy to get back into it when i want
>>502048414This is mostly how stats already worked in DQ3. They just gave old Agility's function to Resilience, and now new Agility determines turn order (when it used to be purely random). That will definitely be a huge hit to the Meteorite Bracer's usefulness and may make certain personalities and Martial Artist squishier, but I don't think it will change much else in the grand scheme of things. I doubt they nerf Vamp with it (since it honestly has middling stats anyway even if it has the highest total), and Tough Cookie seems like a personality type to have high Resilience.

>>5020839733DS remakes are pretty good. I like the joker games on ds they are super fun. I havent played the original gameboy ones but im also young so i dont wanna play ugly gbc graphics

I don't like Pachisi.
>>502086780Then perish.
>>502086780Tombolabro...
>>502008364wow way to ruin the hype you impatient fucks
>>502087456What did he mean by this?
All I wanna know is if Sky World is in the remake
>>502086780I don't care for pachisi that much but I hate this trend of remaking games and removing content that was in the older versions for no reason
>>501991968Thought he was kidding but it's true there's 0 female features on the girl choice, but the male has longer and spikier hair
>>502081551I'm at the 3rd lighthouse and I'm dropping it for DQjust not having that much fun with it tbdesu

Did DQ3 originally have a billion stat seeds on the first island?
>>502095671i'm pretty sure those "gathering spots" weren't a thing at all in the overworldalso joke's on them cause i never use those seeds (i don't know who to give them to)
Have goo chosen your party yet?
>>502096601Yeah, but I'm not gonna post it because I don't want anyone to steal it.
>>502095671Most of the ones I saw were on the version I played (Swich 2019)
>>502096601Male HeroFemale WarriorFemale MageFemale Tard Wrangler
>>502096601Male HeroFemale Thief > MAFemale Priest > SageFemale Gadabout > Sage
>>502095671More importantly, did they change how level up stats are calculated?In the original 3, using seeds made you gain less of that stat from your next levels because it tried to keep you around an average expected number.
>>502096601ye>Hero (male)>Merchant (female)>Monster Wrangler (female)>Gadabout (female)even came up with a short headcanon of how they met at Patty'salso, i think they heavily "nerfed" bad luck chances cause i get enemies that keep missing, lots of crits and goofoffs not goofing off but actually attacking most often than not
>>502096601Lone Wolf Hero (M)Tough Cookie Martial Artist (F)Vamp Monster Wrangler (F) [I hope you can start with Vamp on this class anyway]Wit Mage > Sage (F)
>>502097294>even came up with a short headcanon of how they met at Patty'sBased and cute. I wrote little backstories and personalities for each of my party members too. >also, i think they heavily "nerfed" bad luck chances cause i get enemies that keep missing, lots of crits and goofoffs not goofing off but actually attacking most often than notMy gadabout seems to goof-off at least 60% of the time.

>>502086412Only old people watch TV nowadays. (you) watched the TV more in the 90s than youths today
I made the mistake of opening a /v/ DQ thread. I have never seen that much mental illness concentrated in one place before.
Never played DQ before.What am I in for?
>>502096601>>502097294my pre-remake party has a cool guy, a thief, an uncertified priest, and a whore turned war criminal who are ancestors of characters in my other RPG runs, they got shitcanned by Baramos but will come back for the remake
>>502100843no clue, haven’t played it yet, waiting for a sale (lol, lmao even)
>The group of enemies are defeated! >The enemy are defeated! This is bad for my autism.
>>502102073Machine translated?
>NPC warns me about cursed equipment>two seconds later find a nice agility boosting accessory>
Do the preorder bonuses come packed in or something? Square hasnt emailed me any codes yet.
>>502102864It's in the 3make after every battle. Nothing else so far feels like a machine translation, so I was wondering if that's grammatically fine for British English or something. Regardless, I hate it. >>502104423They're emailing out codes on US release day, according to the SE store website.
>>502104250>Wow, this weapon is amazing! Look at all that power!>Oh...
>>502105025>wondering if that's grammatically fine for British English or somethingit technically is, as enemy can be used as a collective noun to refer to a group, but its awkward and shouldn't be used like thisa bad bit of localization, this is exactly the kind of thing they should be correcting but aren't
>>502088229I believe that's intentional. Even though you could choose a Heroine in the Famicom original, she didn't have a unique design. She used the same sprite as the Hero, and she didn't have any artwork. For the Super Famicom remake, she was designed to look as close as possible to the Hero.
>>502035046Yes. I've only taken it once as a kid on the GBC DWIII game, and I forget what I got but it was surely something lame.
>>502072894Same. I'm torn between sticking around and hanging out with my dqbros, or going into hiding to avoid all the new stuff like the pyramid boss getting spoiled.
>>502087509Illiteracy
I wish people were compiling all the new skills and sharing the changes and stuff
I wish people were more willing to play RPGs blind.
>>502100843A refreshingly straightforward and polished experience.
>>502100843A fun, relatively laid-back adventure that you can take your time with.
>>502085423Gameboy is a bit old for me too. I can kinda manage GBA but anything before that is rough. The joker and remakes are pricy as fuck though... How's the emulation?
>>502100843A game that's barely anything like dragon quest and is all the better for it. A modern rpg that still includes charming throwbacks to older days. It also has the hottest DQ characters in the whole series, for both genders.
>>502118943Why troll?
There are young people here? But I was told that /dqg/ is all old baldies.
>>502115816I love you, MS Paint anon.
>>502121076
>>502121654until you realize you have to wait a couple days for the game to ship and get to you, if you're still stuck in the past and use physical media like myself.
>>502113215would if i could, ive been years late to every rpg ive played and most of them are games people spoil because it’s “funny” *cough cough ffvii cough*
>>502104250>>502105445>*equips as many as possible*>fuck it, we ball. fuck it, we ball. Fuck it, we ball.
>>502122201I should do this next time I re-play a game.
>>502121997I’m headed to Gameslop on my way home from work to pick up my copy. Tried picking it up on my lunch break but apparently they don’t open till noon these days.I’m a bit worried though because they’ve yet to call me to say it’s in stock.
>>502100843Very good game, with some flaws if you're a fan of classic DQ gameplay. My favorite boss fights/combat in DQ. Fairly long.
So there are is no new content besides the monster arena and Ortega's fleshed out pastThat's shit
>>502125734new class & a new boss
It's him. It's really him.
Confirmed that Vamp is still unavailable for Hero at the start of the game, and I suspect it actually remains a very strong personality. Your starting personality also has a very big impact on your starting stats, though I assume stat rubber banding is still a thing.I'm waiting for Steam release to actually play so I might just try to collect all the personalities throughout the day to see how they affect your starting pool.
>>502121654
PC requirements
>>502127616Interesting Vamp actually has a notably worse starting statline
>>502125920What's the new boss can't find any information
I've only played X and XIAnything I should know before picking up III?
>>502129067Nope, just dive in.
Man, I better wake up to the game in my state tomorrow. UPS hasnt been this dooky for me in a while.
>>502121997I still use physical media but I also pre-ordered it at fucking gamestop so I could go pick it up tomorrow morning
Loving the game so far, though I wish the running speed wasnt like...20% faster than walking. Feels almost redundant Also, the battle menus putting the HP on the right hand side is really jarring.
>>502136274Running feels significantly fast than walking to me. Battle UI is trash. Why is the speed option in the upper left so big? Why doesn't the character list show status effects?
>>502137735Everything just feels so small in combat, UI and Enemies. So much empty space
Who actually likes Square's HD-2D shit? The entire aesthetic seems to have been developed to produce the game's visuals as inexpensively as possible.
>>502139576meOctopath Traveler is my favorite thing SE has made in a very long time
>>5021395762D sprites in 3D environments is sovl, though it sucks that 3 only has 4-directional sprites instead of 8
>>502139576I like it. I think a lot of the appeal of the artstyle is more for people who grew up playing old games on emulator over people who grew up playing them for real.
>>502140038Not only are the sprites 4-directional, but they have so few animations. They don't run, they walk fast. They don't emote at all. I've played a ton of 20+ year old games with more expressive sprites than this game has.
>>502140038>2D sprites in 3D environments is sovlIt can be cool when there's actual thought put into it.
>>502143359Game?
>>502061693Luck is more valuable now and lone wolf still shoots it in the foot so it seems to be a bit iffier. It does increase the new resilience stat in this version though so it's probably still good if you're running it on a caster but it's probably not ideal on Hero.
I thought the game launched today :(
>>502146607Did you go to gamestop and they told you to come back tomorrow?
>>502144364Unlimited SaGa
>>502146893Yeah, and they also told me they’d completely sold out.I showed them my receipt and they suggested I come in at noon insure I got my copy.When I asked if they wouldn’t put one aside for me considering I’d already paid for it the turd behind the counter said, “I don’t know, I won’t be here”.
Any word on people making mods yet? Or is everyone waiting for the PC version to drop in a couple hours first
Some findings. Personality for tavern characters is normalized between genders now. For the most part they haven't changed the conditions very much despite merging the pools and the biggest puzzle is figuring out which gender's list they're following, I'm getting largely the results I expect from the original seed calculations. It does seem likely that classes still have personalities locked out though. I haven't found any combination that gets Monster Wrangler vamp, but I've seen charmer a few times. Soldier gets charmer on the same combinations it used to. Priest/Wizard gets Vamp on fulfilling the female requirements with stamina, but they get Charmer for fulfilling the male requirements with resilience.
>>502148101That sucks balls. Gamestop really isnt what it used to be. That or the one I had in my area as a teen was just better than most others. I still remember a time when a special edition pikachu 3DS came out I really wanted, I was stuck in the hospital due to a broke limb and wanted to do a trade in of my old 3DS for it but also needed to transfer data, the employee let her pay partially, the amount that would be needed left over after the trade, and then let her bring me the 3DS to do the data transfer, and trusted she would bring my 3DS back in to finish the deal. Was a pretty based employee.Anyway, sorry for the blog lol. Hope you can get your game tomorrow. My tracking just updated finally and it is in my state so I'll be getting mine tomorrow. Now to hope they deliver it within the morning..
games pretty but gotta say the ui feels awful. Clunky. Ugly. Kinda surprised how positive reviews are - this does not feel like a 60$ game
>You only get Wrangler skills for collecting monsters at 3/10/30/50/80/100 monstersHoly fuck what a fucking scam.This can't even be called Blue Mage lite with such a pitiful amount of skills.Not very impressed with the abilities the non-magic jobs can learn very much either, specially the Martial Artist.
>>502149820Are the skills even good? I haven't seen anyone talking about them anywhere.
Magic Bikini confirmed.
>>502150273Shit, where'd you get that?
>>502150273Nice.
>>502150321DQ Modding Discord ripped everything already.
>>502150454That Yggdrasil? Or do I need to look harder?
>>502150778Yeah that's the one. They got the sprites ripped and a lot of the tools they already have seem to be compatible. So we're likely to get mods pretty quick.
>>502150869There a bulk download anywhere?
>>502151063Not yet. You'd probably get one if you asked.
>I'll probably only get mine MondayThis sucks. Enjoy it for me too anons...Nice to know that fenyo is doing the art or some of the art though.
>>502151127Fuuuck, I hate Discord
3make question: Has anyone found a wrangle-able monster in Reeve? I'm getting the "there's a monster ready nearby" message when using Animal Instinct in Reeve, but I've looked everywhere.
>>502151301Check in the grave stone.
So what's the new final boss.
>>502151624play and find out
>>502151387I'm not finding a grave stone in Reeve.
I'm lmaoing because the spanish translation says: You will play as a man if you pick Type A and as a woman if you pick Type B.
>>502150273I don't see the bikini. Just more cucked censorship
Should I be worried about the new translation/localization of the DQ3 remake? Squeenix has had a pretty awful track record with that in recent years.
Do we know what was that Red Erdrick Sword and Shield thing about?
>>502150273The sprites look a bit cheap, like RPG Maker XP assets.
>>502149151Happy slime smashing, anon.>>502150273Wasn’t the magic bikini a slingshot v-string on the GBC or did I just have an overactive imagination for a 9yo?
>>502157619The English version uses "hero" and "heroine" but it means the same thing. I don't understand why SE insists on this A/B shit.
>>502158125I haven't noticed anything bad so far outside the typical retarded accents.>>502158549>I don't understand why SE insists on this A/B shit.We all know why. Plenty of people have said the quiet part out loud.
>>502158125Other than the Appearance A/B thing, I haven't encountered any problems with the English script.
>>502158329It had different appearances depending on the class wearing it, just like SNES.
I deeply regret picking a martial artist on my initial party
>Zing is now Zin Why
>>502159413Because woke
I really wish we could customize Erdrick.I'm roleplaying like crazy with my other party members but Erdrick just being Erdrick kills the mood so hard.
>want a tomboy QT martial artist on my team for RP reasons>tomboy personality had shit growth rates older versions of the game Do we know anything about personality growth rates yet? Captcha: ST0PNN
>>502160102Sorry, you have to look like Ortega because everyone in this world desperately wants to fuck him
>>502159364Why
>>502158940>Warrior is more covered up with a swimsuit on than she is in her default attire CUTE!!
>>502150273Come on, post the rest. Please?
Some of the textures in Dark Prince are genuinely awful
>>502161168That's because it's a smartphone game.
>>502161137I took a peek. The entire sprite collection wasn't posted, just a few sample files. Including what looks like a modified version of the hero sprites from the initial reveal. They're still in there.Wish I wasn't such a moron so I could figure out how to do this myself. What tools and tutorials I'm finding were helpful, but I'm clearly doing something wrong since not everything is being extracted from the .pak. Ah well. Keep on tinkering.
>>502159364yeah... whats with their damage? it seems incredibly bad. like to the point of not making sense how bad. And inconsistent
>>502161541Then it’s textures should be more smarter instead of phoned in haha
>>502159413Zin is the babby version of Zing. As far as I'm aware the only other appearance it had in English was in Stars, a phone game.
So the reason for all the unused screen space and the small sprite size of monsters is because they will make a phone version in 6 months yeah?
>>502162407You're not using a non-claw weapon on yours, right
>>502163609well beginning of the game so am poor, dont think ive seen a claw weap - just fists. Spells seem so good though by comparison
>>502100456i figured most of them came in from leddit to ape what the bald man from texas says despite him knowing dick or have any interest about DQ as usual
Does it come out at midnight tonight?
>>502163609>>502163704Even with claws it's the same.
>>502165029depends on location and platform. refer to >>502128092
>>502165903Thanks, steam deck verified too I hope
I like the mini-scenarios from the intro. Can they be played without restarting the game file?
>>502162279Fucking whatThat's amazing
Kinda feel like they used the excuse of 'staying true to the original' to just be lazy about certain things to save a few bucks while still charging 60$. Like janky UI, missing animations, etc
>>502166241unless the game disallows multiple saves, you can just start a new game to try them out each time or just restart a game. that's how it was played in the sfc and gbc releases anyway
>>502166891*a new save game file
>>502166751totally agreetext display fucking sucks toocan't press A to instanly display the full bos and setting the speed to the fast option will most likely end up with you skipling the text by accidentthese "2D-HD" titles are really just budget games and they should stop eith the retarded pricingI really wish the industry crashed and burned
Whats the best stat growth.Playing draconian mode.Otherwise I'll just do perverted hero with sexy ladies.
>>502167321There are non budget dq games?
>>502167321>text display fucking sucks tooIt's so tiny, I thought I was going blind.
-----------Welp, here's the final boss of DQ3:> "Txt_Registration_UI_Style_Menu_01": {> "SelfId": "Txt_Registration_UI_Style_Menu_01",> "Text": "Appearance A"> },> "Txt_Registration_UI_Style_Menu_02": {> "SelfId": "Txt_Registration_UI_Style_Menu_02",> "Text": "Appearance B"> },
>>502167321>>502166751>Set battle to fastest>Win battle>All the victory text is piss slow My biggest complaint so far.The text of everything is so SLOW and it feels like the inputs for text and dialogue have a half-second delay before they register.The only other issue I've got is that the game's modernization feels half-baked. It doesn't feel up to date to modern DQ standards and much less modern JRPG standards. Sometimes there's something that's smooth as baby butt and then sometimes it's like I'm back to a janky NES RPG kusoge.I thought the characters abilities and skills would be all super fancy and stuff but they're a prime example of those half-baked things that don't feel up to date with modern DQ.The whole thing has a serious identity crisis.
>>502169579It's a glitch. Switch the text to Japanese for one battle, set the battle speed to normal. The difference will make you shit bricks.
>>502169205How did you miss DQXI?
I am going to go to sleep, and when I wake up I will be a brave Yuusha, assembling my party of brave heroes to take on the Demon Lord.
How do I convince my friend to play 1 before 3 without spoiling that it is a prequel
>>502176759It's shorter and simpler, for one thing. For many people including myself, less is more.
>>502168026IIRC Lothario is a solid choice for a male’s personality and the old top pick, Lone Wolf, probably isn’t as good anymore now that luck has more utility. I’d go for a lothario and three vamps
do we have a rip of all the different looks for classes yet? female sage especially
>>502175226Pleasant dreams, hero/heroine. I’m gonna browse some (non-h) doujins and pilfer ideas for RPs.

I'm gonna dragon quest in 20 minutes
>>5021972875 more hours... (if I get my key in time)
>If you could be reborn, would it be as a Prince or a Princess > yes > noHuh...
I finally saw my first metal slimes. Whats a good metal slime killer? I think the game said warrior (which i dont have) but the in game description for kung fu fighter (which i also dont have) said something about crits. Does sap or sleep work against them?
The sun told me I'm smart, that I'm aware of it but I tend to see others as lacking in that regard but in reality everyone is as smart as me and I should stop belittling others.What the fuck? I thought I bought a game not a shrink consultation.
>>502199045If you were reborn, would you want to be one of royal blood?
>If you tough it out to 45 as a Gadabout then you get an even stronger Sage
>>502200175my only other run was x3 gadabout and holy shit having real classes this time around makes the game a walk in the park
>wit personality It's over isn't it?
>>502200175Do you have anything to back up your claim?
So, like, is my memory fuzzy, or was Ortega this ridiculously wanked in the old games?Because he's becoming Poochie-tier here with how often he keeps getting brought-up by people and how hard they suck his dick.If Horii wanted to make a Ortega game he should've just done so. It's kind of annoying how it's not feeling like my adventure.
Best emu for Dq3hd? The ryujinx port got a bunch of glitches and sound issues
>>502205269why not just play the pc version
>>502199260Sleep is a metal slimes greatest weakness
>>502203115Japanese wiki
>>502205230The entire point of DQ3 is you following in your father's footsteps. The people of the overworld really liked him because he was a swell guy. He failed right before Baramos, so you have to finish what he started and surpass him. I also like the twist that he fell into Alefgard and switched gears to fight Zoma instead and made it to deepest depths of Zoma's Castle entirely solo and without legendary equipment. Even if he failed right at the end, Ortega was one hell of a man.
>>502207335Oh that actually works huh? I tried sap which didnt work but i got lucky killing one. Exp was not so hot. 1000 exp vs 300 from a regular pack.Got to say the furst 3 hours were pretty boring but im having funn now.
Wait did it say anywhere that the mini set coming out is gonna be johto mons?
>>502209781Oops sorry wrong general.
Man im so hyped, the game comes out in 3 hours. I stocked up on easy to cook groceries so i dont have to do any cooking. My whole weekend is free. This shit is hype. I finally get to play the 3rd dq game after beating 1 and 2 before the anniversary livestream.
>>502207335Wait a minute you rascal! The wiki says he is only weak to fuddle and has 100% res against sleep!
*DONG EXPAND*
Torrent?
>>502210953Damn, you actually waited that long?
>>502215106yeh! When i saw the graphics i gave up on playing the shitty switch version and decided to just wait. But it all worked out cause now they are doing 1 and 2 aswell so i can relive those next year!
Finally got it! Also, while waiting Ive looked at other peoples intro results and seen people talk about how the goddess straight up roasted them, real funnyThen there's me, and the goddess goes and starts blowing me up, telling me how incredible I am lol. Based Goddess.
New to DQ. I'm avoiding reviews for the remake. Is this a good starting point? Going in blind
>still no keyI'm scared bros
>>502216067Go for it
>>502216057Looking sexy
>>502189075Better way to word it would be would you want to be reborn as royalty
>>502216067yes, this is being made the way it is as a good starting point
Does "There's a monster to be wrangled nearby!" mean that a monster is supposed to be on your current map? I'm losing my mind trying to find monsters in certain towns where I'm getting that message.
>>502220015Maybe the real monster was (You) all along...
>>502209781cute
>>502220235Answer the question.
How to I get vamp on monster master?
Is priest into gadabout into sage a good idea? Or should I just start with gadabout? Right now my starting party is warrior, priest, monster master because I wanna collect them monsters asap.
>>502222435There is another way to get a Sage, no need for the Gadabout detour.
>check thread today>it's doubled in sizeNice
This will be lost in the posts since game is out. I did not care for Dragon Quest IX, VIII, and XI.
>>502221961Wear Garter.
I wonder if the acrylics will be valuable later on. Or hell even the sealed game.
>>502223160Nothing is lost in /dqg/. Sorry that you have bad taste.
>>502213314Trust me, we'- they are absolutely weak to sleep! I would never steer you wrong!
It will be very funny if DQ3 becomes the newfag game a la Yakuza 0, and it brings in people who insist the series went to shit after it.Anyways, I’m at work while the game finally fucking launches, so all I can do is look at the steamdb number go up.
Welp it looks like I'm not getting my copy today so I'm going to bed. Have fun anons
>>502224605It's funny because DQ3 is also a prequel
Judging by how some of the newfags you sure you want them?>Hey! I'm new and I heard there's this personality system. What should and should I not do?>Howdy! I'm new to DQ and I hate turn based. Why can it be like Final Fantasy?>Hiya! It's me Imoen!>New to III. What classes should I avoid?>I can't beat Baramos. He's too hard. Any advice?
Has cdkeys unlocked yet?
>Tfw you download XI by accident>Then downloaded XISWhat the fuck is wrong with me.
>Game doesn't allow you to name the main character ErdrickWtf
>>502225487Answering DQ questions is fun at least.>Why can’t I name him Erdrick???Your REAL name please.>How should I answer the questions?Be a good boy and tell the truth.>What’s the best party meta? The best personalities??It’s YOUR adventure.
>>502225842Yeah what gives? I tried naming him Faggot after you and it wouldn't let me do that either.
>>502225661Download the one without an "X" in the title, anon. In particular you want the one with three "I"s.
>>502225487>Hiya! It's me Imoen!dare i say based>>502225915>Your REAL name please.ehrm akcthually your real name comes after that
What party are you doing?
>1080p lockedFuck my 1440p life
>>502225534Nope
>>502226476ini file bwo.
>>502225842I remember the 2019 Switch version also didn't let you name him ErdrickTechnically it's a spoiler
>>502225487you can't blame newfags for being retarded, the two go hand in hand. You were a retarted newfag too oncealso>Howdy! I'm new to DQ and I hate turn based. Why can it be like Final Fantasy?nobody says this cause nobody plays final fantasy anymore, or rather those that play and prefer the newer action ones are a completely different subset of people that won't touch anything turn based ever.

>>502227314Life saver thank you. Will do this
looks good, also is it fair to assume most people are on switch?
>>502226476>>502226538Alternatively, change it to windowed, change the resolution, then go back to borderless or fullscreen.
>>502226732It's not a new thing.Every English version except GBC doesn't allow Erdrick as a name. GBC doesn't allow Loto.Every Japanese version doesn't allow Roto.
Oh yeah, we are SO back.>>502227420Hell, we're even more back than I imagined.
>>502227502>call him Roto in english>call him Erdrick in japanesethey'll never get me
>>502225534Steam version is still on "preorder" but the xbox one isn't, strange
>>502227502Yeah the reveal that the protagonist is Erdrick is a spoiler because of DQ1, but since newfags are starting with 3, they're going to miss the twistI don't remember trying in the older versions so that's why I've mentioned the older Switch version
>>502227681is that monster girl quest III hd-2d
>>502225487It's okay for newfags to have stupid questions. How they handle their answers is more important. Keep in mind that oldfags used to be able to answer those questions for themselves by hitting up gameFAQs, RPGShrine, and other fan-run sites, but zoomers and αmeoba only get garbage from search results now.
>>502227887It's cool, I just figured I'd fill the knowledge gap.
>>502227887>but since newfags are starting with 3, they're going to miss the twistthey addressed this apparently and they're specifically recommending to start with 3 and then go to I+II, and by they i mean Horiiso they either changed some things around or they did nothing and it's another japanese-style surprise where the surprise is just that you didn't know they weren't gonna change anything
>>502227912Stop being gay, its an unhealthy lifestyle
Oh my god I just checked the mini medal prize list.
Personality questions seem to be randomized now. No longer based off name and birth.
What kind of stats should I give my Monster Wrangler?
getting to Khoryv really makes me wish the whole game had the camera positioned like that, more "behind the shoulders" and less topdown. I'm sorry, it just looks better, especially given the environments are pretty detailed and really drives the sense of scaleunironically, i have the same complaint for Mario & Luigi brothership
>Do you enjoy physical pursuits? No>Do you enjoy physical pursuits? No>You are a lazy bonesFuck.
>>502228128I don't know what they could change, but it's not like it's a big deal playing 3 first either>or they did nothing and it's another japanese-style surprise where the surprise is just that you didn't know they weren't gonna change anythinglmao I can definitely see this happening
>>502227912Yes, and for my second playthrough I will run a Son of Ortega (Male) named Luka and a Gadabout named Alice.
>>502229352>Gadabout named AliceBased. I always have my Sage be named Alice.
>>502229151Why does this question come up twice?
>>502229751She can ask you the same question twice to see if you're lying if you answer it differently the second time and she comments about you lying
>>502230012Why is she like this?
>>502230092Elves amirite guys?
>>502225487Only one of those are actually annoying though..?
>>502230092Just because she's a goddess it doesnt mean she can't have fun
I hit Romaria and was expecting a boss by now. Game has been piss easy even with draconian settings.
>>502230454I can get it. People are wanting to min max before they even touch the game is kinda dumb.
Has anyone tried to copy saves from Switch emulator to the PC version? I want to buy it on steam and continue my progress.
>https://gamebanana.com/mods/555706Get it while it's hot. It'll be nuked off the internet soon.
>>502230646I chose Dragon Quest difficulty and still have gone into the menu several times to make sure I didn't select Dracky Quest. On normal difficulty, even with a gadabout that only takes orders every 1/3 turns if she's not suffering self-inflicted paralysis, I did not experience anything resembling a challenge until the Pyramid boss, which I initiated when I was out of MP.
What a shitty remake which doesn't even add anything worthwhile besides a class, monsterarena and new flashback scenes
A bit disappointed that level ups grant full heals.
>>502231082If I wanted to have a classic DQ3 experience, I'd play one of the previous releases.
Where is it...
>>502231482I got mine. Check your email.
>>502231583From cdkeys? I still don't have mine
>>502231313it's not even needed given the game, in the very next screen, points out one is male and the other is femaleand in the game itself, if you find boxers or the garter, the merchant will say literally "only men" or "only women". If anything the latter is the bigger thing which they still kept, you'd think they'd also remove gender restriction but they didn't. AND also still say men and women too.Like a mod that removes this stuff literally only has to change that pic you posted and the stats menus, that's it, everywhere else everything is still gendered, it's hilarious really
>>502231815That mod is later going to uncensor the sprites too. This was probably just a quick job.
>>502231082What does it do? Are the original uncensored sprites in the game files?
>>502232054This one just changes Type A/B to Male/Female. Sprites are later.
You can take back seed distribution on your characters if you don't like their personality. Just hit the cancel button during the voice selection prompt.
its over
They really toss you a lot of seeds.
>>502232151>bare shoulders on B-kunl-lewd!

>>502233257I can mod it in for you. But it won't be for free.
>>502233257The son of Ortega (female) is canonically a type B.
>>502232151>changing the heroine's designTrash
>>502233587That's the GBC design.
>got burned out on rpgs soon before dq3 hd came outFuck. Enjoy it lads.
Is there a default name for the hero or a name that’s commonly used in other DQ media? My autism compels me to adhere to “canon” as closely as possible.
>>502233849JP screenies have アルス, so you can go with Arusu, Ars, Arth, etc if you really must.
>that wooden block in the dungeon songwhat the fuck were they thinking with that shit? You got a normal song then suddenly POK POK POK randomly not even in rhythm with the rest of the song. What an earsore.
They knowYou were warned.
> recruit three ladies> went back home.> mum said they can sleep there tooI canonically had a foursome. You can't convince me otherwise
Isn't Dracky Mod supposed to be easy? I'm always getting hit to 1 hp.

>>502236009Alright you got me. I laughed.Godspeed.
Holy shit I can customize their voice
>>502236185One of the VA is Videl rather than ChiChi
Don't think i've ever chugged this much holy water in a DQ game before. The large maps combined with the high encounter rate is anti exploration.
Oh, damn it. That's a problem. Well, for me it is.Internally, only black-hair graphics for each class and their various appearances exist. Hair colors must be done in-engine through alpha channels or some shit like that.I'm going to collect all the swimsuit files together and post a link to them, since I know everyone's been looking forward to those. I'm not going to post them one by one because that's 36 files and I'll be here all day.
are the elevating shoes from the preorder bonus gamebreaking, or just a little boost?Also, if you start with Appearance B on a character and you change their vocation at lvl 20, can you change them to appearance A? This will be part of my transitional headcanon. Also, does their personality stay with whatever they had in their previous class, or do you get a new personality when you change class?
>>502231313This is femboy erasure. Just because Type B looks like a flat chested, curveless woman does not mean we can call him a girl for it. Don't bully Type B!! He has feelings too!
>>502237059>can you change them to appearance A?You cannot change visuals at all while changing vocations. That's done through a different NPC that looks like a healslime. No idea if you can change between Appearance A or B however.>does their personality stay with whatever they had in their previous classYes.
>>502220015Yes it means exactly that. If you are one map away (let's say you are in the church when the monster is in the city) it will note that aswell. When you are in the right map but at the wrong time the game will also tell you.
>>502230880Extremely unlikely that it will work. Maybe some autust will write a converter. Also unlikely.
>>502237271Blindbro?? Her tits are right there.
>>502236185My full team
>>502237835Based anon playing without the Hero
The thread's gettin' a little faggy, so here's a sexy Merchant (Female).
lost my job a while ago, how long until pc version gets cracked, ill buy it when i get an actual well paying job i promise
So many years ago today...ah! if it isn't my nostalgic III.
>>502237059The shoes are a little game-breaking in the beginning. EXP needed to level up is very small at first, so you can basically level up every battle just looking for encounters. I plan on exploiting this to get Nose for Treasure ASAP on my Thief.
>>502237980Probably not for a bit cuz of Denuvo. Just emulate the Switch version, bro.
>>502237595Well save transfer worked when I did the same going from emulated SMT VV to PC, I don't think Switch ports are that different from PC versions now.Can you show me how the save files look on PC?
>>5022379806 months to a year
It's funny seeing autist throughout the internet having a shitfit over the personality stuff.
Can you not search bookshelves anymore?
>>502238945you can but only important ones have prompts
I wonder if we'll ever get a k.mix or dq32 mod for this version.
>>502239878I'd like that, but 99% chance it'd be JP only.
The fuck is all this? I thought the preorder bonuses were just the trouble-free travel kit?
Where the heck do i save? No nuns in reeve. I gotta go to my night shift squenix>>502240271Woah i only got the top one...
>>502240485You can quick save at any time by choosing "Stop Adventuring" in the menu
>>502240485I do have creamapi on but I didn't know the game has actual DLC apart from the preorder bonuses
>>502240551Oh nice. Thanks Anon
https://files.catbox.moe/2zdo6x.7zSwimsuit files. Feel free to post your favorites.They pulled a mobile. Everyone wears the same swimsuit. Unlike mobile, there are at least different colors dependant on class.
>>502240271I only got the Trouble-Free kit from the code that came with my NSW CE preorder.
No wonder people say it's easy. They throw so many seeds at you.>>502240931Also has that butt coverup thing. The ass cloth. Cheek cloth. Whatever it's called.
>>502240551Was this in the saving tutorial? Because if so I'm gonna feel really fucking stupid for not reading it at all and missing this.
>>502241041I think it's called a sarong.
>>502240271It does say it's for preorder and some other things like buying on a specific storeBut that might be only for physical editions which the PC version doesn't have, it might be a leftover from the console versions and you're getting it because you have creamapi
So your collector edition. What are you anons doing with the figures.
>>502240931>no male swimsuit sprites
>>502240271>A FUCKING CAT!
>>502241426Mizuki is for Type Bs only!
I'm waiting for a sale. How's the game so far?
>>502242106Looking good, but really casualized. Hoping it gets a bit more difficult later on, but the first couple hours are a breeze beyond the first 2 or 3 fights. Playing on Draconian mode, btw.
Are you allowed to change the difficulty whenever?
>>502242431Have you had to do any money grinding so far?
Why the hell do some enemies get double turns?
>Mindlessly level up while watching LOTR>Level 20>Still by AliahanHow fucked am I? Is it like Saga where it scales?
>>502242705No. In fact, I've been beelining for the objectives up to getting the key and I'm doing just dandy. You get tons of free shit from the random overworld items and also I'm running a merchant, who occasionally finds extra gold after battle.
>>502241431NYES
>>502241431A cat is fine, too.
>>502243013Oh no. It's happened.I've died and gone to heaven.
>>502243013>oh it's this dream again>please be gentle
>>502243013Do NOT post this on r/DragonQuest. They're about to lift the ban on the censorship talk and this will ruin it.
I wish all sprites had an idle animation. The OG trailer III was like a disney movie.
>>502243013All of 4 of them have LARGE futa cocks.
>>502243503Geeze Anon if you wanted him to post it on r/DragonQuest you could've just asked. No need for that reverse psychology stuff.
>>502243503I don't care what the faggots on reddit are doing.
>>502240931Oh, this is the first time see9ng the Sage haircuts, too, isn't it? Mine's gonna rock those pigtails.
It's weird how Square cheaped out on DQIII of all things.
>>502244750My man Square has been cheaping out hard on Dragon Quest for, like, the past 5 entries.
>>502096601Male HeroFemale BeastmasterFemale MerchantFemale mage
>>502242510Yes>>502242431I've read a post on reddit where the guy said draconian mode is basically the original difficulty, if not, a bit easier
>>502243013Obligatory reminder that Pudding’s purple hair suggests Warrior-kun won.
>>502244875Yeah but III is one of the most important ones. They keep siphoning money from FFXIV to put into failures and that shit ain't gonna last.
>>502244982>if not, a bit easierIt's a lot easier.
>>502245489they thought live service was the holy grail so thats probably where most of their retardation (and funds) has gone
>>502242886There isn't any level scaling. I find it hard to believe you were grinding slimes until level 20.
when does the beastmaster learn to tame?
>>502246491It's not an Ability. They can wrangle any friendly monsters you approach after the game gives you the tutorial. Just having a Wrangler in your party makes it so you can get monsters without them running away.
>>502246678You can wrangle them without a Monster Wrangler, right?...right?
>>502096601Male HeroFemale Thief -> probably every physical class in turn to unlock every single non-spell skill on one character like I did on the first Switch!Mobile port-> ultimately WarriorMale Monster Hunter Master Wrangler Whatever, possibly changing later depending on how I like it or if it keeps its specialties upon class changeFemale Priest/Pilgrim/Cleric/Whatever It's Called these Days -> Sage
Anons with a merchant. Are you going to leave that merchant in the town quest or make a new one?
Puff!If I'm reading the file right, the horns and dorsal change to match your character's hair color.
>>502241431I put the cat suit on my monster wrangler
>>502246762Yes. If you don't have a Wrangler, some monsters might flee when you approach but the game suggests approaching them quietly, such as with Padfoot.
>>502247502SNES/GBC lets you get the merchant back, right? Because I was thinking of leaving my Merchant behind and playing a 3-man party for a bit before returning for the teary-eyed reunion if that's still the case.
>>502247895Yeah you get the Merchant back.

DQ mode feels a bit too easy. Does it get harder after the world map unlock?
What's the point of having a Warrior in your party? Isn't the Hero a not-Warrior already?
>>502252006big hpbig damage
>>502252006Hero is a jack of all trades, with a decent equip set and a balanced mix of offensive and healing spells. He's designed that way so you can run a party of meatheads and still have healing, or carry along a bunch of squishy casters and still have physical damage. He's inferior in that regard to the actual physical classes, though.
Anyone got a list of what level Spells/Abilities unlock at per class in 3-2DHD? A JP wiki is fine if it's accurate and not just copy-pasting from an older release of DQ3.

I found more leftovers. These were in with the Female Warrior textures.As far as differences go, the battle poses are completely different. The Male Hero's battle pose resembles that of the initial reveal, except in the much larger style of the final game. He's also got brown hair, like Erdrick had in some games. What's interesting is that there's a smaller version of those sprites. It was obvious before, but this makes it clear that they made small battle sprites, and just resized them. And it's a damn shame because these smaller versions look way better.The Female Warrior's overworld graphics are only superficially different from the final game. The positions of the sword and shield are different depending on the frame, and there's a few minor details different (a pixel here or there may be a different shade.)
>>502254523How's the overall work going? With the localization and sprites.
>>502254523The final Female Warrior, for reference.

is there a jp wiki or something yet? been trying to get a vamp thief for a while, but the old method isn't working anymore
>>502263075Old method should still work since it worked for Monster Wrangler. Use the Stamina seeds, not the Resilience ones.
>Made it to the Abbey>Suddenly feel super dissatisfied with teamy composition and personalities and wanna re-start I had Thief to Sage, Martial Artist to Warrior and Wrangler to Priest.The others are *fine* I'll just have to change their personalities but I wanna re-do specially Warrior. Should I go with Merchant to Warrior? I honestly don't know what to use first instead of it.Also thinking of Gadabout to Sage instead of Wrangler but I don't wanna commit to the level 45 grind.
>>502254151That list doesn't tell me anything. Is Sage just Priest+Mage again? Do the three spellcasters have anything unique?

Some of the personalities have terrible stats spreads.
There's something really weird about the file structure for the game's graphics.It feels like most of the game's graphics for things like items and characters are internally named after the English localization, instead of being romanized Japanese like you'd expect from a Japanese developed game. Items, Weapons, Monsters, most of the Party folder, they're all English names. Then you look at the NPC graphics folder, and they're actually romanized Japanese names.And that means you've got things like both Kandar and RobbinOod referenced in these files. It's really weird. Almost like the game was developed first and foremost for the western market. Something which I doubt, but it makes me wonder.
>>502268690It's weird how they actually did adjust some numbers beyond just adding one for the new stat but they didn't actually bother rebalancing them any significantly.
>>502268491Kuririn whenever Tenshinhan took #18 into the time chamber
>>502269737That's actually incredibly bizarre. I really wanna know why this is the case now.
Does ANYONE have any idea where this last hidden item in Aliahan could be? I found the Dragon Scale chest; I found the Training Togs in front of Patty's; I found the holy water in the bottom right corner; I found the antidote next to the church. But this last item has me completely stumped... I'm just running around mashing hoping I find it...
>>502269737I've noticed that the Japanese use the official English translations for media and character names in content made for the Japanese now instead of winging it with their own romanizations, even before an anime or manga is released. I'm guessing the devs decided to use the official English translations for most of the internal names because they're, well, official.
I'm just happy we got a remake.
>>502268491Ludman, aka Rodrigo Briscoletti.
>>502252895Damn Ironclad is fucking good now. Shame you can't get it on Hero, I always disliked Tough Guy because of the hit to your MP.
>>502271401Yeah. Maybe I'm tripping, but I distinctly remember a TV ad for one of the jap-only phone games (I think) where Dragonlord was reading a newspaper that had a headline labeled "Finding Erdrick", in English.
So how's the Wrangler?Good or bad?Broken or gimmicky shit?
>>502272041Wrangler gets a very early multi heal spell.
>>502272041Good & gimmicky. Kind of like having a second Hero.
>>502272041Seems very good. Heal through the early game so you don't have to bog yourself down with a priest or spam items and then transition it into an attacking class later.
>>502268432It's him! I love him.
>>502272421He's trying to kill you.
Lone Wolf or Lothario (Charmer)? Either works for my RP
>>502273241Lothario is probably better now since agility has been nerfed and luck has been buffed.

Hey anons, can you recruit monsters like Metal Slimes with Monster Wrangler? Don't have the game yet but would be nice to know
>>502278440cant use monsters in battle, just in the arena
Alrighty, here's the different looks for each class, including Sages and swimsuits. No hair colors to reduce bloat (and I haven't looked into how the game does it yet.)I noticed something neat while putting this together. There's consistency between the columns.Each column on the male side has the same face, with a couple of exceptions. Column 1 has wider eyes than columns 2 and 3. Column 2 has narrow eyes. Column 3 is somewhere in the middle, but also has a moustache and a thinner jawline, though the Sage adds a beard and the Wrangler adds a goatee. Column 4 of course is always an old man with a bushy moustache and beard, though the Wrangler shaves off the moustache. Mage's column 4 wears his amulet a little lower than the rest, and Merchant's column 3 is fatter than the others.On the ladies side it's a little different. They all have the same face, but they've got different eye colors. For each class there are two girls with blue eyes, one girl with red eyes, and one girl with gray eyes. The exception is the Merchant, where all four have gray eyes. Column 2 always has gray eyes, column 4 always has blue eyes, column 1 usually has blue eyes but sometimes red, and column 3 usually has red eyes but sometimes blue. The girls of column 2 are also shorter than the other girls.
>>502278849Man, what a downgrade.Absolutely souless and completely cucked.
>>502278849I should note, that this is how they're all laid out internally, so I didn't make a mistake with the women, they're just slightly more inconsistent for some reason compared to the men.
>>502278849>Mage's column 4 wears his amulet a little lower than the restLooks like he's just plain shorter than the rest, though they didn't keep that shortness across all the classes for some reason. Weird.
>>502279216Too lewd for modern audiences. Though this will probably get modded in. Longest one though as this is an actual sprite rework.
After playing for two hours, I can say that the game isn't bad, but it's very unpolished. For something that was in development for years, they kinda forgot to tweak the UI.
>>502280850Yeah, I'm having fun, but it doesn't feel up to the same level as other games in the HD-2D series.
>>502281019>>502280850That the 3D is actually just 3D and it doesn't even have a 2D sprite skin over it says everything there's to say about it.I really have no idea why they scamped on this of all things.
>>502169720This reminds me of the bug with DQB2 where disembodied Hargon talks slow as fuck in every language that isnt Japanese. They never did fix that, either.
>>502264136Hmmm....?
>>502260185It's throwing me off a bit, since the DQ7 kid was also named Arus in JP and PS1 before being localized to Auster
>>502281161I just know they spent 90% of development making the sprites, which make no sense. With that effort they could've made a full 3D remake using DQXI engine.
>>502271401Not exactly the same, but I know this has happened with some Fire Emblem art books recently. They'll have the JP book but use localized names for the "cool english" headers and such
Whats wrong with the UI?
how big is this game? i play jrpgs blind and slow, any side content or after game stuff to do or is it a one and done kinda game?
>>502283506There is a postgame dungeon with a superboss at the end.
>>502282148And they STILL didn't make sprites for the battling itself and kept it first person with the excuse of "muh keeping it faithful".Between how half-assed this is and 12's continuous troubled development shit must be completely falling apart at the DQ division. Maybe Horii is just THAT depressed from being the last one left and doesn't give a shit anymore.
>>502283741thats all i need i will post my clear of it next september
>>502283506It's normal-sized compared to most JRPGs, I'd say it's around 30-50 hours on a blind and slow pace, because I got 50 on my first blind playthrough and I also play pretty slowThere's a post-gane dungeon (it's not easy) and there are some side content like Monster Arena
>>502282336Go look at the old FF books and manuals for example. They all had stuff like that but in engrish.
>>502271401That's happening with everything, even Japanese Dragon Ball puts some dumb shit like Tien Shinhan, Frieza and Buu in Japanese media instead of Tenshinhan, Freeza and Boo like in the past. Or Phantasy Star Using Dark Falz instead of Dark Phallus.
>>502284197That spoony bard!
>>502284197No, i mean recent JP FE artbooks will used localization names for characters that have different names in english, which lines up with how DQIII HD2D handled some internal file stuff
>>502278440Only pre-determined friendly monsters (which you find roaming outside of battle) can be recruited. I don't know yet if one of them is a metal slime.
>>502278758I though it was like in 5. Does the class just have monster moves or something like this?
>>502285267Yeah, you get more by recruiting monsters for the arena.
>>502285176>>502285453Thanks! I'll probably spend a lot of time on the arena depending on the rewards so it should be fun I guess.For some reason this reminds me of the Octopath 2 girl that I forgot the name
>>502285989You wouldn't be talking about Ochette would you? Best Octopath 2.
>>502287240Yes it's her. Also talking about Octopath 2 I really need to come back to it. All I did in that game was the first chapter of her story and forgot about the game because I was also playing DQX Offline.Maybe I'll do it after playing a lot of this new version of DQ3.
>>502283506lots of replay value because of the different team combinations you can have
Is there a trainer or something to get pre-order bonus on PC?
>>502290210creamapi
>>502290397!!! but nonny arent even married...
>>502290785no need to.
>>502278849Okay, so which girl canonically has the biggest tits? I think it’s Aileen (Heroine).
What are we thinking
>>502291451I hate HD2D and this remake is lazy as fuck but it's still Dragon Quest 3 so it's still enjoyable to play.
>>502291451That we’ve got to go to work in 4 hours and we haven’t been to bed yet. Very fun, but I can see the young or uninitiated being less than impressed. I also miss parchisi.
>>502291451Beautiful and pretty fun, just wish it were more difficult
>>502279216Based Mage was the one in a slingshot. She’s always been my favourite.
so is the JP version the only way to get the reversible box art?
is it just me or are enemies hitting desperate attacks more often in this? Feels like they're averaging 1 every random encounter
>>502295501Your reputation precedes you. They are afraid. Desperate.
just got to AlltradesIs it worth holding off on class changes until your characters learn all of the skills from their first class?
Cute
>>502297372Sure. They benefit from keeping more of their stats when changing later on, too.
What's stamina do?
>Grillerpillars can breathe fire and attack twice per turnThey ain't nothin to be fucked with.>>502297750Influences HP growth, I believe. Similar to how Wisdom works with MP.
>>502298079I fucking hate pillars
>>502297387Can you get with your party members in DQ3?
i am not a fucking crybaby i dont even cry that much anymore i am a stoic WARRIOR who doesnt cry anymore that much fuck this game
>>502299250Rubiss got another one
>>502299153No, I went to get the puff-puff and all the other party members turned around, but the warrior got a frustrated emoji then delivered that line. Not sure if it's always the second party member or if it's randomly one of your female members.
>>502297387>>502300960By the way, you can't get a puff puff if you're a girl.The lady just greets you and says a line about how pretty the stars are tonight.
>>502301046It's always been like that. Just change your lineup so one of your men is in the lead
>>502301236Just thought it would be worth mentioning since this version has made some things unisex here and there.
>>502301351Ah, that's true. My bad.
>>502301046This would've been good to know before starting the game
Those emulating DQ3 on Switch, does it run smoothly for you? Yuzu or RyujinX?
>>502301941It's fine, it's fine. Just have a male party member. Doesn't even need to be a permanent edition. Drag him along for a puff puff and then drop him off at the tavern.
>>502302104ryujinx for some reasonyuzu gets me sub 20 fpsryujinx is pretty stable at 30
named one of my teammates after one of my friends and now im afraid that i will inadvertently lead them to their deathdo your teammates get mad at you if they die
>>502302104Ryujinx is 80/20The biggest issue I've had is with audio. There's some noise over it and stuttering here and there.Some lag here and there but nothing out of this world, gets really bad when gathering some shaders at times specially when move animations, but the more I've progressed through the game the more I've noticed it the performances overall has improved. Again, must be the shaders.God, I miss Ryusak.
The caterpillars keep dropping seeds of defense. I just made it to not-Rome and I’ve got like 10 in my inventory now :(
>Normal is too easy>Draconian is tedious
>>502307620Draconian still feels easier than the previous versions. Though the reduced gold definitely feels bad.
pov ur a toady and they dont have any mp
>mother has a thick west country accent We’re fucking bumpkins, aren’t we?
>>502308091Maybe I've succumbed to brainrot but I'm really not a fan of the encounter rate coupled with Draconian. Makes the game feel like a slog.
>>502308941No you're totally right. My impression is that we have something resembling the original encounter rate, but on a bigger map and running around at double speed leaves you in combat twice as often by minute. Then you have to push through these fights to keep your pockets lined up with the reduced gold.
>>502309271I was thinking that the main issue was the bigger map but you have a point about double speed. Overall it's fun but I couldn't help feeling like I'm being punished for exploring.
>>502307620Draconian is piss fucking easyeasier than any other version fo the gameseeds fucking everywhere
>>502310859Who said it was difficult
>>502308941thanks god I went on a fatlus binge last yearthis kind of encounter rate feels normal after all that

>>502235538I went with Loto
>Lothario hero>vamp mage>vamp monster tamer>vamp warriorYup it's dq3 time.
>>502320092How does one get Vamp personality?
>>502320092Warrior can't get Vamp. It's still fantastic but it's much less dominant in this game anyways
>>502320192Did it get a different name?What's the personality name for slutty/sexy girls?
>>502320320>Did it get a different name?No idea, I was genuinely asking
>>502320320>>502320672Still Vamp. Female hero only gets it from the queen scenario if you tell the advisor to follow the king unquestionably. Other classes get it from seed combinations at a chance, varying by class. Anyone who had it in previous versions uses the same formulas still and men can get it now. Monster Wrangler gets it from 5 or less stamina gained from seeds and less in other stats. As far as I know no formula has been found for soldier, fighter and merchant who couldn't get it previously. Most personalities are still shit but there are more good ones now and Vamp got toned down to not be so ridiculously good anymore
>>502321004>Female hero only gets it from the queen scenario if you tell the advisor to follow the king unquestionablyAw man I picked the other option
I love my healslime (healie)
>>502321004>Most personalities are still shit but there are more good ones now and Vamp got toned down to not be so ridiculously good anymoreGot any numbers to back up that claim? Are personalities like Tough Cookie, WIt, and Vamp still the best after adjustments?
from 5ch
>>502324797Someone else already posted the new tables I'm pretty sure but we don't even have to go that far. Most personalities changed very little directlyWhat did change a lot is that resilience is a stat now, agility no longer governs defense, and luck is no longer useless. And more importantly classes themselves are rebalanced. Tough doesn't obsolete every physical personality now because MP matters for attackers and luck scales damage so Ironman is potentially better in some set ups like Wrangler > Fighter to burn through your MP and spam crits. Lothario competes with Vamp and likely beats it on some set ups like Hero now due to better physical stats. Wit probably still remains on top for its niches actually, but the point is that more personalities are competitive now. The good ones stay good but they're not monolithic in their use anymore.
>>502325659Maybe it gets harder later but I haven't had to even heal yet thanks to the stat refills at level up. so RP personalities are more than fine
>>502274523Is sage that fucking powerful or do you just love sage? Also I got the sage script yesterday and it says it will pulverize itself on use which made me think it's a one time use. What's up with that?
>>502327609Sage gets both casters spell lists. Historically it's a cheat class that's just better than everything but unavailable to start. Sage scroll is consumed when you class change but gadabouts can become sages without it. Dunno how many scrolls are in this version
Crazy how I'm a big fan of DQ but I remember years ago when DQ8 was coming out on PS2 and I was just a kid. I saw a commercial for the game and in it, it shows the protagonist getting a spiky haired power up and thought to myself it was just a Dragon Ball ripoff. Not realizing the characters were designed by Toriyama. I was retarded.
>>502325659>むっつりスケベ>LotharioAaagh, 8-4'd again! I would've happily gone with this in Japanese.
>>502310859Yea it's a joke compared to DQXI draconianMaybe they can patch in Direly Draconian or something (though keeping this separate from exp/gold modifiers would also be welcome)
>>502324101Based
>Dracky Quest >Dragon Quest>Draconian Quest >Devastating Quest >Deathly Quest >Quest of the Damned
>>502327892>both casters spell listsNo drawbacks? How is the statgrowth compared to mage and priest? >gadabouts can become sages without itCan gadabouts change to sage right off the bat or us it a passive they get when leveled?
>focus on healing>doesnt heal once
>>502333372Gadabout can change to Sage at Alltrades once they've reached level 20.
>>502333454In the 3make monster arena, I find that healers generally will not use healing skills until a monster on the team has their HP in the yellow zone.
>>502333454is this your Healer?
So like, outside of Sage is there a particular reason why I should be changed classes of my other party members?
>>502266026>those names I see /mggg/ is herepart 3 tl will take a long while

how’s the remake? is 3 even worth playing?
>>502352938It's pretty good but my favorite is 7 so I might have objectively bad taste
>>502352938It's worth playing but at the same I feel like the remake is priced too high.
>>502330707I still can't believe they didn't use the opportunity to use Dragon Warrior
>>502351670I'd have gotten it on PC instead but denuvo, so I'll wait 6 months for it to be removed and play it on switch in the meantime
This thread is almost 3 days old and has almost reached 700 posts.Contrast this with the previous thread that was 4 weeks old before dying almost 3 days ago.We're alive.
>>502349940It's probably a reference to the "wise fool" trope:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wise_fool
>>502354152Yep, can't discuss the game at all on /v/eddit so off to /dqg/ it is.>>502352938Takes a minute to get going but at about 8 hours in I'm having a grand old time. The gameplay changes are mostly excellent so far, with the biggest blunder being full restore on level up but that starts mattering less later on. Might call in "sick" this weekend to go slay the Archfiend instead.
i hate ripper of the rift
So with the luck changes does anyone know if Gadabout has better luck growths? The class might have gotten indirectly buffed now that luck does more than change status resist.
>>502357121I was surprised by his big blue titties.
PRINCE OF CANNOCK SPOTTEDBROWN HAIRED ERDRICK SPOTTED
>>5023587741+2 remake confirmed guise
They can't have Zoom bash your head into ceilings indoors anymore because of woke.
>>502357203idk but i can attest that my gadabout has 120+ luck at lv 13also totally missed it, what did they change about luck?
for those who have gotten deeper into the game, is monster wrangler actually good, or is it more of a gimmick? Are there some absolutely busted lategame skills they get?
>>502351670Console sleep modes are simply top tier tech for jrpgs, and handheld is peak comfy form factor.
Isnt monster master supposed to tell you a monster is in your vicinity? How? I dont see an option for this
Neat, a different style of class icons.
>>502358774This bloke is hella lost.
>>502358774That male sage has a non-playable hairstyle
>>502359330I generally prefer TV gaming, but this remake of DQ3 is significantly more pleasurable to play handheld because it looks terrible on my big TV.
>>502359383Help doko. Ive spent 10 mins looking at menus
>>502359383They learn an ability called "Animal instinct" fairly early on (Lvl 10s, I think) which you can use like "Nose for Treasure"
Can magic and abilities not crit? Or am I just extremely unlucky
Newfag, here. Are the shops basically baits in DQ III? I swear they are absurdly pricey and the following dungeon have the weapons/armour anyways. It's happened thrice already.
>>502360252So it's not 10 exactly? Because mine is level 10 and didnt learn anything.
>>502359156it changes a bunch of shit now. Wisdom also influences spell damage (it only influenced mp growth before) and Resilience now influences defense where as it only influenced HP before.
>>502359940Must be some early sprites, based on the Erdrickses brown hair and a shitty jpg screenshot of them used as a placeholder for something, I guess. Wonder why Cannock is being used as placeholder for male Monster Wrangler?
>>502360458Googled and other stuff says 10 too. This isnt good.. I think the game might have a bug where your party might just not learn a skill when you hit that level, that or everything is wrong and it's actually 11 or something
>>502360701IIRC, in the original game there was a level variance to when you'd learn spells.
>>502360701Didn’t get mine till like 13
kaclang save me
>>502360458I don't know the exact level I got it at, I was just guessing "10s", which I meant as 10, 11, 12, etc. There is level variance in learning skills, as the other anon said. JP wiki says "level 10~11", but it may happen a fewer levels later.
How does 3 Remake run on Switch?
More shitty resized jpgs that were saved as pngs of early battle poses, in four individual files.There's a Fem!Warrior and Male!Erdrick that's fairly close to >>502254523, a Fem!Priest, and a Male!Mage.
>>502360458There's a base level where it is possible to start learning a spell (and presumably abilities), but it's not guaranteed. I think after the initial level it's something like a 50/50 chance of learning it at each following level.
>>502362929
>>502362765Good but occasional frame drops when entering a town for the first time
>>502362765has some hiccups every once in a while (not in fights so far) and it is kinda blurry even in portable mode (though it's not really noticeable unless you're playing with your eyes glued to the screen), other than that idk the usual "it's looks and runs better on other platforms"
>>502363129
>>502362765You get frame drops anywhere there's an abundance of particle effects.
>>502363324
>>502361138>>502361205>>502362348>>502362939Ah, that's good to know. Kinda a neat feature, though a little inconvenient right now since I wanna find a bunch of monsters asap. Guess I'll grind a little.
>>502363876you don't really need that ability anyway, or rather i think monsters are mostly found in those unmarked places in the overworld, and when they are they're just there almost right in front of you. There's some in cities and dungeons too but yeah
>>502359047Cute picture. Can healie heal mental damage?
>>502243013This might be the best DQ picture I've ever seen posted here or anywhere.
>>502362765200 fps on my mid tier pc.
>>502363876The monsters are in pre-determined locations. You can find them without using the Ability. The ability is just there to help you find what you missed, or tell you that a monster is in your area so you can specifically go hunting for it.
stalled ripper of the rift with kaclang till he ran out of mp and proceeded to dog walk him, i love kaclang so much
Alive thread!
>solo bossfight against 2 enemies, one with high evasion and an rng chance to take your turn away and the other with 60+ damage spells twice a turnholy shit this sucks
>>502353095Yeah, thats the main thing keeping me from biting. Im just too much of a poorfag these days to drop 60USD on DQIII. Hope it sells well,im absolutely getting it at some point. Im looking forward to the I and II remakes too.
>>502358774Cannock's really fucked up the teleportal this time
Are we thinking there will be a fourth party member added to the remake of 2? Even if it's just a slot for a recruitable monster? How about the remake of 1? Obligatory solo-questing just doesn't seem like it would happen in [Current Year + y] for some reason.
>>502333697When I eventually get the game, I'm thinking of using a Gadabout for the first time ever. How does their spell list look when changing to Sage at 20? Do they skip spells learned from level 1 to 20, or start with all of them?
Thanks for existing, /dqg/.The only place on the internet where people actually discuss the game.Thanks, ojisans.
>>502368513Class changes reset your level to 1 but with better base stats than a fresh character
>>502368012>Are we thinking there will be a fourth party member added to the remake of 2?If they add anyone, it'll either be the Princess of Cannock or Ryu as a hidden party member, I doubt they'd add a recruitable monster mechanic to the game.>How about the remake of 1? Obligatory solo-questing just doesn't seem like it would happen in [Current Year + y] for some reason.DQ1 is staying a solo quest, the whole game is balanced and written around that, you'd essentially be making a completely new game called Dragon Quest 3 if you changed that.
Guys how am I supposed to focus when my thief's ass is in my face every fight3rd person battles are too distracting...
>>502368812Ah, okay. It's been way too long since I played. Thanks!
can the main male hero get vamp? i just got it on a male thief i made, that couldn't happen in the original
>>502369914I wish I could fit a Thief into my party, there's never enough room and I've yet to use one. One of the rare cases where short hair on a gal really works for me.
>>502370195No. Charmer and Vamp are exclusive by gender since they're obtained the same way. Vamp's less of a slam dunk now though if your main concern is stats, Charmer's probably the stronger spread on Hero.
It's not fair...
>>502370438do we have a main chart of the different start growths? or will that be something we find out way later since the game is new. My hero is paragon, anyway. I always prefer it when my damage dealer moves last.
>>502368513My Gadabout only had Sobering Slap and Whistle all the way to level 24 before I made her a Sage. So, at level 1 Sage she had Sobering Slap, Whistle, Frizz, and Heal.
>>502371195>I always prefer it when my damage dealer moves last.Why? The best defense is an offense that kills the enemy before it can attack.
>>502371319I wonder if Gadabout gets some crazy ability at max level like slimes in DQV.
>>502371514Nta but in boss fights in rpgs, you always want your buffs and debuffs to go off before you deal proper damage. What you're talking about is best for grinding and chewing through trash mobs on the way to a boss.
>>502199670Kek I got the same evaluation
have you been visiting your mother, hero?
>Gadabout has started sneezing every other round taking all of my party's actionsI don't think I can make it to 45 with her
>>502371514true, but it's also good when my attacks hit after my character gets buffed. Regardless I can always fix my agility with some seeds, dq3 has so many.
>>502373108You only need to make it to 20
i'm new to dq3, how does the game handle you swapping party members down the line? I got the wrecking ball but want to try other characters, but aren't the new party members going to be underleveled?
>>502368012which is why 1 remake is actually a souls like game, screencap this
We hit the bump limit so fast, I'm a little dizzy...
>>502373621I wanted to get everyone all the skills of their first job before changing, but I don't think I can wait anymoremy team has been very useless the last 2 major fights and even some random encounters are becoming a chore
>>502371195>>502252895
>>502375082oh damn, ty anon
>>502374174They don't get all of their skills until around Level 40. It's not worth your time in any normal playthrough.
Does the restoration patch for dq8 in the pastebin work on a US copy? I ask because it has (EU) in the filename
hello, new tread?
>>502376832The model restoration patch was only made for the EU version. I think if you just change the patch assets folder's name to the US title ID it should still work. However there's also a prepatched EU rom in the pastebin that also has the orchestral music, and I just used that instead of fiddling with manual installation of both patches.
>>502377696with this pic >>502243013 or we riot
my hero isnt learning any physical spells only magic is that normal?
>>502379015>physical spellsDo you mean Abilities? What level is your hero?
>>502373642If you're talking about class change yes they go back to level 1 but their base stats are higher as they keep a percentage of what their stats were prior to the change.
>>502379126only lvl 3 but so far ive learned frizz and heal just assumed id learn physical stuff before magic
>>502379271basic attack in dq3 is strong, i collected mini medals and my paragon hero is just fucking everything with a boomerang. You don't really need "physical" abilities right now
>>502372404After getting zoom for 0 MP I have.
Lads, I don't think we have enough agility to get to 1000 posts and face Malroth even with >news.
>>502379015I learned flame slash before the 11th level. You good.
>>502371039>we get the superior cartridge>remember My Nintendo does prints of reversible covers
>>502380576wont let me make one for 3 minutes, goo luck bros
noo>>502381652>>502381652>>502381652
>>502380576Holy shit, there are anons out there with this saved? I think i made that shitty doodle like 5 years ago (if its older than that, dont tell me, I dont want to know)
