wtf is the prince of cannock doing there in the sprite sheet?
Uh, how do you fight in 3rd person? Is it just not possible on Switch?
>>502382023He got lost.
>>502382023Looks like its just a placeholder. It is very interesting that the sprite was made early enough to be a placeholder. Smells like they were working on DQ I&II befoe they fully implemented Monster Wrangler
>>502382461they hinted at 1+2 remake basically right when they announced 3 remake, as Horii was asked about an eventual remake for those two games and he went like "haha yeah maybe who knows, look forward to it!", so yeah imho they outright worked on both at the same time. Isn't 1+2 coming out early next year?
Recruitable monster locations https://www.rpgsite.net/guide/16519-dragon-quest-iii-hd-2d-re-all-friendly-monster-locations
>>502382723I don't think they've said anything beyond simply next year.
>>502381652I was hoping the artist of that picture would make a similar one for every single class but when I looked at their twitter they're a musclegirlfag so the chances of that happening are pretty much none. Bummer.
>>502376832I'm pretty sure that's straight up just a prepatched CIA.

But alas, he'll be gone soon enough too. Shame the rest of SE continues to be cucked anyway too.
Shame these title screen backgrounds are so low-res. A lot of them would make excellent desktop wallpaper.
WTF GET THIS WOKE TRANNYSHIT OUT OF MY GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I think wyrtles might be my least favorite enemy noweither they block and take single digit damage, or they do 50 damage to everyone so you want to focus on them over everyone but sometimes can't kill them for fucking 6 turns
I found the fucking map files and all I want to do is take all these 1024x1024 tiles and stitch them together now.
>>502385198For me it's the fucking fire breathing caterpillars who get two turns because fuck you.
>>502385469Are you gonna make a script?
Gamebanana leakThey plan to nuke that mod. They're internally discussing a proper way to justify it.
>>502385649No I'm too unga bunga for that.>>502385808Called it.
>>502385808Got a link for the mod?
>>502385931Besides it looks like it's just a 4x4 cube. 16 files. Who needs a script to put 16 images together?
>>502385808I can't believe this franchise his now part of culture wars, jfc.>>502385931It should be easy with python, in theory.
meanwhile on reddit:
Does Mum have the same VA as the one from 11? Sounds very similar.

>>502387056WTF THAT'S JUST THE IRL WORLD MAP REVERSED!?!?!?!?
Am I just forgetting or did the original not give you this many seeds. I have like 10 level ups worth.
>>502387336Seeds are fucking everywhere now yeah. The game is in dire need of a difficulty mod.
>>502387336>>502387859Does the game still try to balance your stats though?
>>502387056https://files.catbox.moe/6efcyz.pngAnd here's Alefgard. Still too fucking big to post in PNG format.
>>502387990Fairly certain it still does. It's anecdotal but I swear my stats normalize after using seeds.
going to get Ra's Mirror and I have never been Whack'd so often in my fucking life holy shitthese mimics are landing at least 2 a battle
Why can't I take off Appearance B's top
>Quest Help Text: On>Objective Marker: OnYup, it's gaming time

>>502389296Clever.

>>502385808Twitter leak The creator is going to delete it himself and act like it was gamebanana mods so he doesn't have to finish the work he promised and he becomes the proud owner of some prime ragebait
>>502389486God fucking damn it, Cannock, how do you manage this shit
>>502389296Surprisingly based
>>502389607Well you see- *dies*
Female Martial Artist is pretty cute. Maybe I should've included her in the party instead of Warrior, as Hero is already pretty resilient. Maybe later.
>>502389682Cannock! CANNOOOOOOOCK!
>>502389581Big if true.
>>502389773Do it later for sure.Martial artist fucking SUCKS as a starting party member.
I've never had a Merchant before but this time I figure I'll try one. What do you anons usually do when it's Merchant Town time? Do you replace her or keep a spot empty?
>>502389773My game is coming in tomorrow, and I'm still torn between having my Thief > MA be a cute grill or my Mage > Wrangler instead.>>502390418I was thinking this time I'd drop him off and just travel the world as a three-person party for a while. Might end up being a little rough however.
game is a lot of fun, can someone give me an idea of how the classes work? My party is around level 11 and i wanna try new classes. Do levels reset?
okay I put the class changes and improvements off too longjust barely beat the boss troll with no MP remaining, no items left, 2 characters at single digit hp, and one dead2 of my party members were doing 1 damage even with Sap, and the other was only doing 10
>>502392241What level?
>>502392231Characters have to be level 20 to change classes. Their level will reset to 1, and they'll lose half their stats, keeping any skills or spells they have learned.
>>502392431Hero 32, the rest 29plus some incredibly bad luck, never had Zing fail 4 turns in a row before
How's the monster wrangler, anons? Might change my warrior into one later
>>502388979turn it on for baharata
>>502393328Wrangler is a nice AOE/heal whore
>>502393328very good, has great abilities. Aoe heal, multi hit physical move early game, and has an ability that tells you if monsters are nearby in the area you are in.
>>502393328Pretty good multi hit ability, really clutch heal abilities and befriending monsters is ez
>Get some random Japanese Vtuber on my recommendations who's playing the game>She's playing with FemHero, 2 males and 1 male genericsPeople who play with male generics on DQ3 are freaks.
>>502393328Very useful at lower levels if you make a point of seeking out recruitable monsters. She gets a fairly cheap group heal ability at like 11 or 12 and a nice attack that lowers an enemy’s attack by a substantial margin at 13 or 14. Plus she can use whips and boomerangs. That anon who said she had no utility was a troll.
Should I be playing on Draconian? Enemies are doing pathetic damage, but I don't know if it's just because it's so early in the game.
>>502395456All you get with Draconian is less EXP and less money.It's the same shit at the end of the day. All you get is more tedium by having to grind thrice as much.
Prestidigitators are girls! So what do they look like under the robes?
>>502395553Doesn’t make the enemies harder?
I wish my thief kept her skin color when she changed jobs
>>502395792She realized the gyaru slut life is bad and is now a good christian girl.
>>502395763It does, slightly
>>502395456after getting the magic key ive ran into some close calls
>>502396164*on draconian
Are any monsters magically added to Aliahan and the lands around it after you meet Monty, or can I just move on?
I WANT TO BECOME A BUNNY GIRL
>>502390418Merchant is a fucking fantastic starting class in this version. So far the only really big improvement to the game is that class balance is a lot better, though that's soured a bit since I know there'll still be optimal set ups and the game is easy enough that you always could've cleared fine with a weak set up, but it just feels a lot better that we aren't sand bagging when choosing half the classes.
>>502396359Did you never go to the dungeon in aliahan?
>>502396392BASED
>>502393328Monster Wrangler is great but it feels much more like a transitional class than something you'd field in the end game if you're worried about optimization.
>>502396534I figured the slime was one to come back for after the later keys. I was more curious about if any get added to the tree areas since I didn't see monsters there on the first trip through.
x is pretty fun
I'm not a bad slime. I proomise!
>>502396498>>502396647The Wrangler being such a nice addition overall and one already knowing how to break the game really makes me wish they'd added a lot more jobs.>>502395792The customization being so lacking is really painful. They really should've added a lot more options. Skin tones and god forbid variations of the outfits too and not just the heads.Not being able to customiza Erdrick is super lame too.They really should have gone balls deep on these two aspects and it's very regretful they only did the bare minimum with them.
>>502399159After having a look through the game's textures, I'm of the opinion that they may have planned to allow you to at least change the Hero's hair color at some point.I only have the most basic knowledge of these things, but I know this is possible. Internally, there's only one set of textures for each party member, they all have black hair. Alongside them is what I can only assume is an overlay that the game uses to color their hair in-engine.Pic related are the textures and overlay file for one of the Sages. Note how in the overlay only the hair and lantern are highlighted.Both Heroes have black hair, and they also have these overlay files, highlighting not only the lantern, but also their hair.It wouldn't surprise me if someone whips up a mod to allow you to change the Heroes' hair color in the future.
>>502400926Overlay may not be the right term. I think they're called masks. Like I said, basic knowledge.
I think we'll be getting a lot of interesting mods with this one. The DQ modding community in Japan for III is pretty big and I'll bet they'll make a ton of shit. Most likely just making IV sprites and the Cannock sprite to start.
I'm digging the overhauled dungeons. rgw sesmtynt was an overly easy one to get through. You can easily do it at like level 9-10 to awaken the village.
>Faerie Village>Dream Ruby>Statues clearly look like ElvesWhy'd they make them gay?
>>502402353elves are a type of fae
>>502402531Yeah but they're explicitly called Elves. That doesn't even need a translation. It's like in DQV where they made Henry into Harry. I don't get it.
Seems like they added a couple lines to three of the ladies that swooned over Ortega. Makes it clear that he wasn't a hound dog.
Did anyone get all the mini medals yet?
>>502403181the names are just used interchangeably like in some older fantasy literature
>>502403181Localization is like that. Pointless changes just because they can. Have heard some say theyve been paid more based on how much they "localize".
Fucking finally, cancer
>>502403983mfker named
Just started playing. Did Hori's third eye hurt anyone here? Wasn't really that poignant for me.
Fellas, in DQ3 remake I started with Vamp Monster Wrangler, and Genius Mage and Priest, what should I class shift them into till I settle down? Can I still get monsters without the skills with Wrangler if I change her class?My Hero is Paragon if it matters, I didn't want to be a woman. Also I want to do the postgame
>>502401194>The DQ modding community in Japan for III is pretty big and I'll bet they'll make a ton of shit.Really? Got any links handy?
>>502403181Tolkien fucked over the west's understanding of what elves actually are, so fae is the only thing that means what it should.
>>502407405by the time you switch the wrangler you will likely have the items you need to carefully approach the more timid monsters so it should be fine to change. i also have a vamp monster wrangler and plan on changing her to thief later
>>502403181>Yeah but they're explicitly called Elves.Elves are a type of fae.
>>502408272What should be my transformation order for everyone though?I'm thinkingWrangler -> Thief -> Sage (dunno when to change honestly)Mage -> SagePriest -> Martial Artist (after priest gets
I've been mandingo effected super hard. I vividly recall Yangus having Safe Passage in his humanity skill tree, but now Safe Passage doesn't exist in DQ8 at all, and it and 10 are the only games it's missing in since being introduced in 2.and when I say I remember it being there I don't mean when I was a kid, I mean when I started playing (3DS) two weeks ago.
A reminder when class planning that Wrangler gets to double up actions at 50 monsters and Gadabout gets a new buff that steroids the shit out of your magic damage around 40
>>502409310>and Gadabout gets a new buff that steroids the shit out of your magic damage around 40No one's doing that shit on their first go.Reclassing everyone to wrangler at least once so that they all get double turns is super easy mode though. Broken as fuck.
>>502407750>https://retrogamehackers.net/dq3kmix-readme/Here's one of the most popular ones. There's also DQ32 which is basically if the release dates of Dragon Quest III and II were swapped. Then there's a bunch of others that add some new classes, difficulties, etc...there's a Dai one too but that one is tough to find. Download links are only in the 5ch threads.
Is it a good idea to make my warrior a martial artist later on or can the martial artist not use warrior skills?
>>502412932I assume they can, as my MA is using Thief skills just finehaving Sleep > Persecutter on a MA is really nice
god damn what an improvement having decent party members makesgoing from struggling against boss troll to curbstomping orochiI even kept the Gadabout, I want that level 40 skill even if its dumb
>>502409823>there's a Dai one tooDang, that sounds right up my alley. Not that I'd be able to play it, anyways.
You don't need a tamer to recruit monsters? Every NPC is talking like you need a thief to catch them, should I retire the tamer?
https://x.com/DQ_PR/status/1857619608494289219
>>502415464Tamer is a very strong class early on regardless so you can just sit on it. A thief definitely smooths monster collection but you should get items to compensate later on.
>>502409074Anyone? Please
>>502416890Don't stress about it. Just play the game and do what feels right.
>>502416890Save your game on two files and then do your class changes. Then if you don't like the new classes right off the bat you can revert to the old save.
So double turn from wrangler + getting eight hits all crits from martial artist is the most and best damage you can get, right?Doubly so if you throw a oomph in.Unless Gadabout magic buff then double turn dualcast Ionazun with a Sage does more.
Wit or Genius for magic classes?
>>502421235If you're not sure, Wit is much safer. Genius runs the risk of your character spontaneously combusting.
When you get to the Pyramid, is your strategy to run past most enemies before the boss fight so you don't run out of MP and health?
>>502409310Wait. You mean I should take a fuckin Clown all the way to 40 for the Optimal Mage?
how's the class change system in this game? do we have any incentives to change them more often other than a respec ie skills being inherited after a class change
>>502427230Level returns to 1.Current stats are halved.Spells are retained and fully usable.Skills are retained and fully usable.
>Autism tells me I should class change as soon as I can because otherwise it's a waste and it's more fun to try out new things >Autism also tells me to not class change until I learn everything first
>>502424794Yeah but I mean, it'd be incredibly overkill.
>>502427367thanks, at least it isn't a total waste this time like before tho i might have to wait out my jester/gadabout's change till 40 with that spell buff
What do you guys recommend I change my Priest to? My party right now is Hero, Mage, Priest, and Martial Artist, and I'm planning on turning my Mage to a Sage. I kinda want a Warrior or a Thief, but I'm not sure who to change. Is it a bad idea to change the Priest to a Warrior or a Thief? Or is the Monster Wrangler good?
>>502429587Monster Wrangler has a strong early game and if it starts to fall off you can convert it into another attacker very nicely. Priests historically turn into martial artists so they have something to do when they aren't healing, or become a mage or sage to gain access to oomph and offensive spells, but I'm not sure that's still as good. Honestly it should be fine to change it to whatever covers the bases for the rest of your parties without regarding priest synergies since you'll always be able to fall back on healing when you need it.
Just how important is luck? The Japanese have been saying to stick with lone wolf over charmer, but if luck really did receive a substantial buff then lone wolf is clearly the wrong choice.
How much of an actual rpg are the Builders games? I'll be blunt, I don't give a shit about Minecraft or survival sims. It's a means to an end. I craft what I need and then I want to spend the rest playing my actual game. So what about the Builders titles?Side note, I was also quite curious about Treasures. I haven't played a monsters game before and it's apparently largely about the traversal aspect of what breath of the Wild had which was the one aspect I really liked in that game.
>>502430141Wish I knew math.
>>502384323Did you also preserve my shitty mspaint slime and platypunk pictures?
>>502385808Wasn't gamebanana 'nexusmod but cool'? Didn't know they care about 'lewd' mods.
can you reclass infinitely in this game?
>>502415464they both help, i think monster wrangler does without the need of any ability. Just having one means monsters won't run when you see them
>>502435506Yeah. Your characters need to climb back to level 20 though
>>502387189>ReversedAnon...
Is your strategy for this game to clear out dungeons to level up, and then when it's boss time, go to an inn to refill MP and then skip all the monsters while going back to the boss? Because that seems like the only viable method for me with Robbin 'Ood and the Pyramid
>>502438556My party has low mp consumption and level ups refresh so I just carrying healing items and don't worry about the mp
>>502432552They do, specially if they think the character is a minor.Linkle nude mod in BotW were removed until the modder called it "adult Linkle".Linkle doesn't have a canon age.
>>502438863I guess I didn't really consider buying healing items instead of using heal spells
>>502438994other website is better place to share such mod either way
is the remake worth getting?
>>502440431It's pretty good. I'm playing it for the first time. You never know what's going to happen next because it's like an adventure with different events that happen. Like you become a King for a few minutes after beating a certain boss, and you get to walk around a town as King. It's unpredictable with unexpected events. Kind of different from other JRPGs. It feels less structural in its story with disparate elements that make up the whole of the game it seems so far.
Unironically why did they censor Warrior but leave the Thieves fat ass in your face? It's so inconsistent. Also they left the NTR hint too.>>502440431It's a near 1:1 remake with QoL. If you remember where to go in the original you'll know in this.
>>502430338Disclaimer: I fucking love builders.The builders games are very story heavy, as someone not into minecraft, I loved them. The Builders 2 demo is about 1/3 of the whole game, play it to see if you like it.I have not played treasures
>>502430338I didnt mean to send that yet whoops.The builders games are story heavy, and the combat sucks (2 bandaids this with some QoL and a strong party member). Story progression is done through exploration and building stuff for NPCs
>>502430338Builders is less minecraft, more RPG, with a long and pretty good story (Builders 1 being sequel to the bad ending of the first Dragon Quest and 2 being sort of a sequel to DQII).Try a demo to see if you'll like it.
Should I skip the first one?
>>502442991Builders 1 is kind of jank/unpolished compared to 2. I still enjoyed it when i played it. The steam version adds some Builders 2 QoL to it, but I havent played it yet. Both games have fairly meaty demos. Biggest "issue" with Builders 1 is its chopped up in a chapter format and you cant revisit old areas, and some kf the bosses are annoying. Versions from before the steam release also have annoying weapon/armor durability.
But yeah, both 1 and 2 have demos, give them a whirl. If you dont like 1, do still try 2's demo
Reminder that if you're in the mood to buy some DQ merch hold off for about two months. Scalpers are going in full force buying any collectables. Especially things related to III.
>Hits crab with sword0 damage>Hits crab with axe0 damage>Merchant throws rock at crab25 damage
>>502444218You ever had crab, anon? You gotta crack the shell with something blunt
>>502442870Aw hell anon. You've convinced me to just buy it outright.
If theres a DQ spinoff youd play only for the story, its Builders. Im always glad to see new anons trying builders out! Please let me know what you think
Which Builders was the one where Rubiss tells you to fuck off but then later apologizes when you win.
>>502443735Ive noticed... I wanted the legendary armor roto figure, which was always easy to find, and now theyve all been bought up and are getting scalped. The 1/1 emblem also has been bought up, and those mini character figs are going up in price from resellers... glad I at least got a female gadabout for like $20, could've been worse. Wanted a full party of them but the hero is impossible to find
>>502448832Just give it time. This happened when XI and XIS came out too. Then prices went down when the market of actual DQ fans who want to collect things is realized to be way smaller then scalpers expect.
>>5024485391st one
Who the fuck scalps a perceived dead series with a perceived dead general?
Zoom wasn't implemented in past versions, right? Because I remember having to navigate through the entire world map with a lvl 1 merchant to fulfill the town sidequest.
>>502449720They're betting on the game being a hit. Even if it isn't they'll still make a small profit regardless from DQfags.
It's funny seeing all this DW3 copies being sold on Ebay for inflated prices. What do they think the newfags are suddenly gonna want a physical copy of the old ones or something?

>>502462923Way after. The IV-VI trilogy is more likely to get a remake in a different style.
>>502462923This is basically for the Erdrick/Loto trilogy what the DS remakes were for Zenithian trilogy anon, I agree with others I think the next remakes of 4-6 might be more akin to Trials of Mana.Incidentally though, even if you compare the 3 Remake to 4-6 on DS, it's lacking a few things like free camera control (no party chat is entirely understandable but some generic dialogue to match gender/job/personality would have been fun).
>>502385020I saw this joke in 7 as well. Is this old man in every game with class change?

>>502440431Absolutely, GBC version still reigns supreme but I love the orchestra and visuals of this version, gameplay feels very snappy - unironically having 1st person battles again feels pretty nostalgic, I have no complaints. For Japanese learners I think being able to customise whether you want kanji with or without furigana is a feature that has absolutely no bearing on the game's quality but I am personally really happy about.
>>502464595In 6 I'm pretty sure he's an old man who dreams that he's a cute girl and thus becomes a cute girl in the dream world not sure if spoilers
>>502463109>IV HD-2D I'll do something drastic if SE ruins a remake of 4 with their HD-2D garbage.
>>502462923I'd rather have a full 3D remake. I don't even mind HD2D, I just think I-III is enough for the style.
>>502465361Yeah it'd be especially shit when we already have two prior versions of 4 with 2D sprites in 3D environments as well. I fucking wish Octopath was never made.
>>502465464>>502466639Seriously, as a character-focused DQ, I want to play a full 3D game with detailed and expressive character models. If it's not on-par with XI or Heroes, it won't be worth the effort, imo.
>>502464991It's a sixty year old game and it's the main plot.
>>502467525It's been a while, can't remember if the reveal of which world is real and which one is a dream was a big revelation in the storyThough this is /dqg/ so I assume most people have played it kek
>>502465464>>502467135you will get an action rpg with the quality of monsters 3
>>502467802This reminds me VI is full of plotholes and should've got a remake instead.
>>502464595Yeah, I he's a running joke. The grandpa who wants to be a maid/bunny girl/princess, etc
>>502468370And after so many games of wanting to be a cute girl, he finally got his wish in 11...
Still getting bodied by Ripper of the rift. Will try again later now that I learnt Zap.
It blows my mind that people know they changed how Agility works in the game, yet peoppe still push the, "all Vamp" meme. You are absolutely fucking yourself over doing that. Once a character goes first at the start of every round, additional Agility is literal wasted points that would be better served as ANYTHING else.
>>502469394I'm not surprised, people love parroting old strats even if they're no good.Take Final Fantasy 2 for example. Boatloads of people say to beat yourself up to increase HP gain despite the fact that doing so ends up hurting you in the long run.
Protip: Poof is really, REALLY good in this game. It can be an absolute lifesaver and I almost recommend it over running. Also, Steam's new clip feature is buggy as shit. Also also: FUCK the pyramid.
>>502470252poof has been a real life saver for me, but honestly ive never failed running twice in a row
Why didn't anyone just cast Poof on Baramos?
>>502471037Cause he bazoom us first everytime
I will cast Poof on Baramos.
>>502470252>fuck the pyramidI just beat all of it, wasn't so bad. Maybe I'm over leveled though. 16, 17, 20, 16 is my party levels.
>>502452734>no sexy monster master to lick and groom youITS NOT FAIR BROS
I never spend gold
>>502474203i have 17k in the bank
Tell me a little about your party members and their motivations for traveling with your hero.I absolutely love reading about RPs.
>>5024748403 village friends that specialized in a field while the Hero trained in all 3. Jumped the call when the Hero went to look for his dad.
>>502474840>Samantha the warrior.She is actually a big fan of Ortega and grew up hearing stories about him, reason why she decided to be a warrior. Got heart broken when he went missing and doesn't like >me because she wished she was his daughter instead and also doesn't think im up to his legacy (speacially because of my wit personality). She talks shit all the time but we have a good thing going after the Kandar fight.>Galatea the priestessPatty's lil sister. Wimp nature. Didn't even wanted to come but her big sister said it was that or living on the streets because she was just neeting and didn't even helped at the bar. Her entire tone changed after equipping a garter though?>Madalena the mageGood egg. Just wants to help people. This whole thing is basically business but she wants fame for beating the archfiend so she can start her own magical school.
Unsure what to change my warrior to. I plan on having my wrangler go thief and my priest go mage
>>502474203I have more gold than I could ever spend but I still always fly home to sleep for free.
>>502477157Based harem chad. Rooting for Samantha.
does sqaure enix remove denuvo at any point? I have use my steam deck offline sometimes and dont want that shit stopping me.
>>502479664They tend to do so after... 3 to 6 months, I think?
How the fuck are merchants so good at throwing rocks
>>502469394I think it's more weird people are obsessively min maxing the game. Everywhere you see countless questions asking for the ideal party members, personalities, order to do things. Like damn are people that fucking obsessed with being optimal in a single player game?
Can someone just tell me a general strategy for taking on the Pyramid? Anything I should do before I go? Any particular level I should be? I restarted the whole game and I'm scared
Rousing Rings, Medicinal Herbs, Single Target weapons, oh and Ortega's bracelet.
I’m at Khoryv with like no money, where do I get some
>>502474840>Beatrix the WarriorOrtega saved her family when she was a small child and now she feels an obligation to look after the hero. The big sister of the group, but her amazonian personality can sometimes lead her to behave rashly or be a bit blunt.>Cortez the MageOnce powerful mage who quested alongside the hero’s grandfather in their younger days. Self appointed “mentor” of the hero, he fancies himself a lothario, but is more of a clown.>Colette the Priestess“Childhood friend” (self described) of the hero who insists she’s only tagging along to mitigate the damage done by her grandfather Cortez. Somewhat possessive of the hero and competitive with Beatrix. The brains of the group, but occasionally her wit causes the rest of the party to become annoyed with her.>Juniper the Monster MasterA happy go lucky monster enthusiast who seeks to catalogue and “befriend” all the world’s monsters. Totally fixated on her goal and seemingly oblivious to the danger posed by the archfiend. Best described as autistic. I’ve got a thief and a merchant I’m still figuring out.
>>502483909Edged boomerang got me through the pyramid at 15 without any trouble.Monster Tamer’s soothing song and monster pile-on worked wonders during the boss fight.
>>502484795I don't know where to find 20 mini medals for boomerang o.o
wrangler is great against metal slimes because of the multihit moves, i usually kill at least 3 when i run into a group of them
>>502485684I think it's only 8 for the edged boomerang. Here are the ones I've found so far, not having finished the Romaria crown part of the story:>ALIAHAN Castle, F1, southeast storage room>ALIAHAN house in southeast, F2, nightstand>DREAMERS TOWER, F2, southern center room in chest>DREAMERS TOWER, F3, "F" corridor east of spiral staircase, in chest>SHRINE OF THE PLAINS, due south of northern path, in barrel>LITTLE SHRINE, in pot on the right>ROMARIA, in house on west side of town, in pot>ROMARIAN OUTPOST, in pot just south of doorway>KHORYV, pub via north entrance, in a barrel>KHORYV, laying on ground in front of southwest most grave marker>NORVIK, inn, F2, northeast room, in a bag hanging on the wall
>>502381652Based OP. If only I could kick out the Hero and make a true, female BALS TO THE WALL party.Speaking of party comp, sell me on the Thief and Merchant classes. Why would I use them over warrior, mage and priest? Ahhhh, the choices are pretzeling my inner lobes!
Somebody needs to make a Switch button prompts mod for PC.
They did it.
>>502486281I might have logged the second Khoryv medal incorrectly. It might be southeast, not southwest.
>>502486978Based. I finally feel at home.
>>502486978Looks good, too
>>502469394But luck is better than ever, and wisdom scales magic damage as well - and unlike the overwhelming majority of Personalities Vamp is entirely positive growths. Particularly for the Hero there's not really a single stat being wasted, Who simply by virtue of being the Hero has Good attacks, Good Spells and Healing. Sure if you Want to trade Hero's ability to deal with the plethora of physically resistant enemies you can take a hit to Wisdom, or make them slow as hell and just a scuffed Warrior with extra spells you don't use. But Hero as a class has always been 'above board jack of all trade' and Vamp is perfectly in line with that
Female Warrior is fixed bros
So if the Path of Promise was sealed off after the wars, and Aliahan was pretty much cut off... and if you needed a Magic Ball/Wrecking Ball to explode the path open to get through the Path of Promise...1.) How did Ortega get through? Did someone seal up the path? 2.) The King in Romaria says he's been waiting for you and that the King of Aliahan sent a letter. How did the letter get there? Did they send it by ship? 3.) If they sent it by ship...why did hero need to get a wrecking ball?
>>502489997What was wrong with the merchant and thief?Wait, is it the skin tone? That kinda throws off the thing they were doing with class changing.
>>502491932Chimera wings
>>502492063Skin tone was lightened yeah.
>>502492206Eh, it could at least be explained as a tan, so it still kinda works.
I've never played DQ in my life but I've been looking at DQ III porn for 15 years and feel like I should buy it for that reason alone
>>502491932I thought the same thing, and my answers were 1) Ortega just swam it, and 2) messenger pigeons.
>>502492506A fun thing to do while playing DQ3 is to try and see how many fantasy doujin/hrpg scenarios seem to have originated from the game
>>502492506people always talk about DQ like it's the vanilla jrpg but that's underselling it. They're really fun games with pretty tight balancing and lower numbers so level ups and equipment feel more meaningful, and the world and dialogue is always really detailed and immersive. Exploring towns and dungeons are way more fun than in other rpgs.
>>502492506Ortega probably had a boat.
>>502492918>lower numbersThis. I've played so many RPGs now where you start out with triple digit HP right from the get-go it actually feels weird now to go back into a Dragon Quest game and have double-digit numbers at the start.
>>502486281Ok so I got the Edged Boomerang and got to Ibis and now I'm ready to go to the Pyramid. I think I'll go through the Pyramid and clear it while skipping enemies and unlock the Boss door and then Zoom out and then come back skipping the enemies again to do the boss. I also got the Rousing Rings. I just want to be ready for this because I had trouble with this part and so did lots of others so it makes me nervous to fail and get stuck :o
>>502492206>skin tone was lightenedI mean.. the thief I'll give you, but the merchant was clearly fine. The skin matched the art
>>502484020>ortega's braceletWhat? Where do you get that?
>>502489997>only fixed 1 of the 4 optionsLazy nigger
>>502493709Fug, didnt space the text. Oops.
>>502486978Where's the mod?
>>502493530As long as you have enough mp to use zoom or a chimera wing to escape you won't be stuck. Hell, even without those, dying doesn't wipe your save file. Worst comes to worst, a little grinding will probably do the trick.
>>502493530Dont forget to grab the secret golden weapon beneath the pyramid. When at the entrance go to the left to reach the basement level, or just fall into one of the hole traps. Then at the top left room there is a hidden passage behind the pillar thing
>>During the first part of the final battle in DQB2 Malroth will not kill you/reduce your HP below 1Super wholesome detail, too bad no one will see it unless they do it on purpose (yes, I cant buy 3make right now, so Im messing around in Builders)
steam or switch?
>>502496279Do you want better performance or portability?
>>502495778I almost discovered this, he got me to like 20 hp at one point and I just spammed heals out of fear
>>502493847Seriously, what is this? I didnt even know that was a thing
why does martial artist suck so bad... im level 10 and they are getting 2 hit nearly all the time
>>502500987The class leans towards being a late game class with a weaker start and yours rolled crybaby which is a personality with paper defenses so the character is extremely vulnerable.
>>502501554So tons of defense buff items and pray to the goddess? Nice
>>502501635Just equip an item that changes her personality
So, what was in the day 1 v1.0.1 update anyway?
>>502501635A better longterm fix is to look into a personality change for your character. Unfortunately personality mechanics aren't intuitive for new players, but fortunately they're mostly consistent with what they were 20 years ago.I think at this stage in the game you should be able to change the character to meathead with a book in your inventory which can tie you over for awhile by alleviating your defense issues. It's not ideal but you can probably do it immediately. Later on you'll want to equip a personality item over it. Lucky and Tough are the ones to aim for most likely, but I forget how late they're available.
>>502502485Does personality change give retroactive adjustments?
>>502502661No.
How silly is 3 gadaboutsI wanna do a challenge run
>>502502661Assuming this hasn't changed from previous versions, and it's probably a safe assumption that it hasn't, the game has a mechanic where level up growths average towards where the character is expected to be at any given level. So you won't have your stats changed when you use the book, but over a few levels it'll compensate by increasing the bonuses you get on the stats that're better your new personality and reducing them on the stats that're worse. To start, your defenses should rise rapidly when you switch.
>>502502794They're still a shitter class but they're significantly more playable in the remake than they used to be so you should be alright
Pyramid is kicking my ass, not even at the boss. Almost every encounter is 3 groups of enemies who outspeed the party and attack twice a turn. Also getting crit once every other battle.>Daydreamer HeroLV 14, 54 Str, 34 Res, 41 Agl, 53 Stm, 34 Wis, 40 Luck, 105 HP, 74 MP>Lone Wolf ThiefLV 16, 50 Str, 50 Res, 101 Agl, 52 Stm, 36 Wis, 34 Luck, 106 HP, 71 MP>Socialite>Vamp PriestLV 15, 40 Str, 33 Res, 34 Agl, 38 Stm, 53 Wis, 39 Luck, 76 HP, 107 MP>Spoilt Brat MageLV 15, 30 Str, 32 Res, 50 Agl, 40 Stm, 54 Wis, 57 Luck, 81 HP, 110 MPI know I'm not playing optimally but it feels like every random roll is screwing me. Starting turn 2 with half the party dazzled, frizzed, or below half health from flame breath spamming. My equipment seems fairly solid too, had no issues before getting into this godforsaken place.
>>502502794I'm going to do this too, for my draconian run.
>>502502794my only other run was 3x gadabout and I got by decentlynot having a meme team makes the game a cakewalk honestly
what does a gadabout even do
>>502505732clowning around
>>502502794I've had one gadabout almost cost me fights multiple times, so that sounds fun
I did it. I beat the Pyramid boss. It took me many tries and different strategies but I got it without any party member dying ^.^
when and how can you change an existing characters class?
>>502506638When you get to Alltrades Abbey and have a character at lvl 20
Would it be dumb to change my Level 21 Mage into a Martial Artist? Trying to venture outside of my usual Hero, Warrior, Priest/Sage, Mage set.
A cosy-looking fire burns merrily away.
So does the dad just disappear after the norvik quest and the mom never learns of her sons fate?
>>502500987Martial Artist is easily the second worst starting job and since Gadabout is a meme class it's the actual worst.It's absolutely fucking worthless unless it's coming from a job change, specially so from a warrior.
>>502507628Also can you just not use the elf shop?
>>502507806when you get the mod rod you can turn your party into dwarves and use the elf shop
What's the most off the wall run you've done of DQ3 bros?
>>502507020You have oomph at that level right? It's not an unreasonable change, you'd be able to buff your Hero and Warrior at the start of the fight then on turn 2, your Priest would oomph your Mage/MA and if you don't need healing and you could start swinging.
>>502508089I did the solo hero run back in GBC but honestly it's not a very notable run
Should I change my warrior to a martial artist?
>>502508449Yeah, that's why I waited until 21. I like the idea of a fast Ompher.
>>502508649Martial artist is the end game in terms of damage but they're pretty frail normally and they're more glass in the remake than in the original game so it's really a question of whether your party needs the damage more than the bulk.
Playing this game so far past the Pyramid I notice some parallels to certain anime. Robbin 'Ood is like Bazuso from Berzerk, and the story of your father is like Ging from Hunter x Hunter. I like it. It's pretty cool and has a cool feel to the game being less story-driven but with little pockets, sort of like you're making your own story.
>>502511198Basically any given time that you ever think "I've seen this before in a manga/video game" there's a 90% chance that those stories were directly, and I mean this as a straight line from A to B with no bridges inbetween, inspired by DQ3 and DQ3 specifically.
I feel like this game ripped off Dragon Warrior 3
>>502511198DQ games (the original scripts not the pozzed translations) take great inspiration from shonen mangayou'll see a lot of classic tropes
Luckily we're getting a true 1:1 translation soon.
Obsessed
Do you think they're going to go through and make remakes of all of them up to 5 or 6? I see 1 and 2 is releasing in like less than a year.
>>502511198HxH is so "inspired" by DQ that its a running joke with that fanbase that the hiatuses get worse around the releases of any DQ games
Orochi was a pain in the ass on draconian quest but I finally beat her
This is a dumb question, but is there any way to remove/delete party members from Patty's?
>>502514735In the older versions you could only delete party members by making a fuckton of them and forcing the game to start deleting them when you went overcap. I don't think that's changed.
Is it stupid to go MA -> Thief?
Am I an asshole for getting chuffed about how they changed Kandar to Robin ‘ood when he’s always been Kandata in Japan?
>>502515398Do you have oomph yet? You probably won’t get much mileage out of the attack spells anymore now that spell damage scales with wisdom but buffs and debuffs are always useful. Especially oomph.
>>502515540Really depends on how much of an asshole you are about it. Are you an asshole about it?You can dislike something without being an asshole about it.
>>502515749Not yet. My party right now is Hero, Mage, Priest, and MA, and I'm gonna make my Mage a Sage once he gets oomph, and Priest a MA, then Sage. Kinda stuck on what to do with my MA. I was thinking Thief for recruiting some monsters, but I'm not sure.
>>502515398>MA -> Thiefyou were supposed to do the opposite...
wheres a reliable place to find liquid metal slimes? After another tough bossfight because of a lack of multiheal, multiple zing fails, and this fucking gadabout costing me multiple turns I'm done avoiding grinding
>>502503579Yeah the pyramid is pretty crazy on Draconian just because of all the double attackers and desperate attacks. This enemy group is gonna stick with me for the rest of my life now.
>>502486634Bumpin'. Teach me what's so good about thieves and merchants, bros. The other classes seem to all bring pretty essential stuff to the table.
>>502517452thief has good exploration skills and can be turned into a MA with no lossesmerchant I never liked because it seems like an useless class to meeven torneko had no redeeming qualities outside of having some good weapons avaiable
Finished the quest for Baharta but that fight was hard, who has kabuff in this game? I need to be able to take hits better.
>>502464595the grampa always wanted to be a bunny girl since the dharma temple existed since DQ3, anon [spoilers]he got his wish in either 6, 7 or 9[/spoilers]
>>502516514Yeah I didn't realize MA wasn't a good starting vocation, but it's too late now. I can always just turn her back to a MA after going Thief I guess.
>>502517452>>502518131I'm using a Merchant on my team. It's falling off but it's got an amazing all enemies attack that one shots everything on the first island. It also finds money at the end of most battles effectively doubling what a normal playthrough would have. But it's definitely a "use until merchant town and dump" which is what I imagine they were going for.
>>502517452Thief is hard to use but has great stuff. Sandstorm is great, lowering a bosses accuracy is the only reason why I'm suriving on draconian diffculty. You also have a physical attack that puts enemies to sleep, works often on bosses for me. Also has a skill which lowers the random encounter rate which makes exploring way easier.
>>502518325It's pretty cozy that way too. Around that time you should be at or close to 20. When you get her back you can class change her.
Im gonna turn my warrior, priest, and monster master into gadabouts. Talk me out of it. They're all around level 22.
I'm going to turn my Sage into a Jester.
>>502518885absolute madman
Question. This is less a complaint and culture war shit and more a logic thing. In the status menu it says>Appearance: Appearance A>Appearance: Appearance BWhy not just>Appearance: BWhy does it say Appearance twice?
>>502519620Who knows? There are a number of bizarre choices surrounding genders in this game.
>>502519620The simplest and likeliest explanation is really just that the staff didn't care much and just threw it together as quickly as possible to meet expectations.
is there no book for tough cookie? my hero is paragon and that's good enough, but i'd like to make him more bulky later. I was told there is apparently no book for tough cookie which sounds stupid
i'm really impressed that this game barely tries to stop you from going wherever you want, was it like that in the SNES version?
>>502518131>thief has good exploration skills and can be turned into a MA with no lossesOh yeah, I've heard you guys talk about Nose For Treasure which I assume tells you how many chests are unopened in an area? That sounds really nice, but I dunno where I'd make room on the squad. Not sure what other stuff they get as I said, never used 'em before in any version I've played (NES and GBC).>>502518325Yeah, Merchant feels pretty unnecessary as I can just grind for more gold and get stronger at the same time, though I've been seeing you guys talk up their rock-throwing ability. Seems much less tempting than Thief.>>502518439I don't mind encounter rates but those sound like pretty nice techs.Shoot, maybe I'll revise my plan of Warrior/Monster Wrangler/Gadabout to Sage to something like Warrior/Thief/Monster Wrangler and then if I really need magic I'll reclass somebody.Warrior's the only one that's truly irreplaceable for me, Female Warrior is my fave DQ gal ever, possibly my favourite jrpg character design.
>>502521185>Merchant feels pretty unnecessaryMerchant gets service call. That is fucking amazing and will be a boon by the final boss.
>>502521185i'm running priest, monster tamer and thief. I'm doing great so far but I don't have a way to buff my defenses so i'm starting to run into issues. Luckily my classes are almost level 20 so i'll manage and swap probably.
>>502521160It was like that in the NES original. It's very open ended.
Am I supposed to bring a merchant party member to the elderly gentleman who wants to build a town?
>>502521185I may be jumping the gun to assume you didn't play the older versions of DQ3 but classes are typically rated in terms of how they contribute over a run, and with consideration to class changing. Merchant was originally a dumpster class, but it's very highly rated now because it brings strong tools and can just be class changed out when it falls off.I can't really speak for Thief in this version. It was a high tier class in previous versions but the agility score being nerfed might bring it down.
>>502521753Yes
>>502521753You can just go back to Aliahan and recruit a throw away merchant
>>502516172Mage gets Oomph, not Martial Artist. You might think about speccing your MA into a Monster Wrangler.
>>502522856Oh, I think you misunderstood my original question. I was asking about MA (Martial Artist) -> Thief, not Mage -> Thief. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I ended up changing my MA to a Warrior anyway.
>>502521308>Merchant gets service call.So, is that like a BJ or...?>>502521329Nice. I thought priests have a def buff spell but maybe I'm misremembering since it's so common in other rpgs.>>502521846I played GBC way back in the 90s, never beat it, but cleared the NES version a year or two ago. Good to know, and that's a good point about the agility changes.Yeah, now I'm thinking Warrior, Thief and Monster Wrangler, then change the Thief into some sort of caster once she learns her various Thief abilities. Hell, might go full retard and turn her into Gadabout and then Sage. The wait 'til next month is killin' me lads.
>>502522548I wonder how many people just didn't think of that way back in the day, changed one of their party members into a merchant, and lost them forever.
Anyone know where the next monster arena place is after Ibis?
So uh, what’s a puff-puff? Did I just get my dick polished by a dude?
>>502523673>So, is that like a BJ or...?Might as well be. Summons a Priest, Item Shop (last one visited) or Inn.
I think it's funny how an old man like the default mage is the most nimble person in my party
>>502524171Puff Puff is getting a face massage in between a woman's breasts. So you just got it with a hairy man boob instead.
>>502524174Ah, now I see why that'd be fantastic going after the final boss. I think I can last without it though, most folks do.
>>502524171boobs pressed to your face
>>502524245Old men can be surprisingly spry sometimes
I just got the game today and I see it has the traditional audio mixing issues Dragon Quest games always seem to have.
>>502524701I just hope there isn't a boss fight against a tree
>>502521753I was never able to complete the game as a kid because I refused to have a merchant, even just for long enough to start that required part of the game.>>502456213Khoryv bar, back entrance, woman in bed.
Anyone know how to get here?
>>502526036The bird way.
>>502526036Don't worry about it for now.
>>502518293Kabuff is a Mage spell.
I tired of looking at this stupid cat outfit.
>>502526036Well it looks like there's a cave there, you could try that
>>502526327There's no way to get to the cave anon>>502526160>>502526205I see, thanks

>>502520573next op or i riot
Do you ever rp any of your party members having accents? I once had two female soldiers and gave one a heavy Russian accent with broken English and the other acted as her translator
>>502528080My Mage-> Sage caster always talks in a pretentious way, the bigger the word the better the word. This annoys my Wrangler but they still get along fine enough
any move lists for all the classes and what level they learn them? I got level 20 on some characters but dont wanna reclass yet
What do I swap my Thief into?Party is Thief/Wizard/Cleric (X/Sage/Warrior)? Thinking Martial Artist, but I kind of want to keep the Thief as is... can you cross class multiple times?
how has no one made a move list for what moves each class learns and when they learn them.
>>502530268You can class change as much as you want. The only cost is resetting to level one and halving your stats each time.
Where do I go after getting the boat in DQ3? I haven't played this shit since I was a kid and completely clueless if I'm supposed to just wander or not.
>>502530742They have, it's in Japanese https://game8-jp.translate.goog/dq3/142017?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
>>502531027The world is your oyster, Anon. Set out an explore.
>>502531218Everywhere I've visited so far I can't proceed because of locked doors. Is it just cat and mouse until I find the right keys because it's unfun at this point.
>>502531063>https://game8-jp.translate.goog/dq3/142017?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wappthanks, so is it reccomended to change a priest/mage into something that isn't a sage? It seems redundant since that class gets both classes abilities.
>>502531287Talk to people, they will tell you rumors about sweet keys
>>502531824Personally I always have at least one of my casters go through sage because knowing both sides is useful. Though I think for my next run I'm confident I can start with a Gadabout so I'll have 2 Sages in the midgame
>>502531270Cute picture. Thats literally my party! One for one.
>>502531950I see, yeah that was my thought process.
This is UE4 and not 5 right?
>>5025336294, yeah.
some of these humans are obviously monsters, how do i recruit them wtf
>>502526604Good man
>>502535695I never played the game before but my guess is there is some kind of mirror of truth or something. Or its a skill the wrangler learnes later.
>>502486978>5 fingers
>>502486978I can see his nipples
Are there any stats that affect drop/steal rates or is it 100% RNG?
>they censored "tomboy" in the new DQ3
>>502543195Need big tiddied tear-away gf.
Wait, Merchant is good now? How come?
>>502543195Surprised they didn't change it to TomappearanceA.
What stats are useful for Monster Wrangler and would Vamp or Daydreamer? In fact, are the growth percentages the same as in earlier versions?
>>502543448The class gets access to an all enemies attack extremely early and unlike boomerangs it doesn't get scaled down with hits. That's literally all, but it's good enough to carry you through a chunk of the early game and merchants get good MP so you can spam it indefinitely, then after they hit 20 you just transfer them over to a class that scales to end game.
>>502543995If only Merchant was the meme class that can change to Sage for free.
>>502544225Well, someone has to use your first book and a class that smooths out the early game and gets an excellent MP pool is a pretty good candidate.
>>502543195Maybe the personalities are more unisex? I got a female lucky devil
>answer a few questions>get read like a book about my outlook on lifeNot cool
>party member personalities no longer gender limited at creation>personality equipment is still locked by genderfucking hell
HUGE META WARPING CHANGE FOUND.
>>502546447You want a man to wear a garter, hmm? By the way, I don't know if this is common knowledge but I just realised that personality changing equipment doesn't change personality if you equip it in the secondary accessory slot. Or was it always like that?
>>502546071Could never happen to me because I have a truly unique personality :3
>>502546708>consumed upon use
>>502438863I really wish it didn't refresh on level up. One of my favourite aspects is the anxiety of limited reosurces
>>502549053Does it still do it on hard mode?
>>502549185Yeah, annoyingly
>>502547536I had no idea, but that's dope. Some of those have decent stats bonuses
I'm enjoying the remake but it's a little disappointing that it not only adds fairly little, but also isn't a strict upgrade to the original for what little has changed.What it really has me hungry for is more new games like DQ3 though. DQ9 was ages ago, Etrian Odyssey is dead. I wish more JRPGs leaned in harder on the gameplay side with parties you personally built and less time spent on the story content.
>>502550535I'm not sure why but even though DQ9 is undeniably like 3, I really didn't like it. Personally I'd like something like 3, with more in-depth character customisation, but also a richer story and lore, a more developed setting, and more developed personalities for the characters. But you could still have a party of blank slates if you wanted (like Pillars of Eternity with its proper party members but you can just hire mercenaries, i.e. create blank characters from scratch).
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3E4ouTi1N1U>Sexy Gal Thief>Class Change to Sage>Personality change to GeniusWhat could be more kino
is lone wolf still the best for male (appearance A) hero?and more importantly is it still called that or did they change it?
>>502554569It's still called that yeah. You'll need to stack up some Wisdom but it's still good.
>>502381652Can someone hold my hand in DQX?
>>502554569Charmer is better for general use now. Male Hero with charmer is actually arguably better than female Hero with Vamp in this version. Tough is still a very serious competitor though.
>>502555154Sure
Who makes for the worst party in Dq11?
>>502515540>chuffedThat means you're very pleased about something, usually something you've done or something someone said about you. I feel like you mean you're annoyed with the change, so basically the opposite.
>>502556724In 11 I don't think you really wanna stick to a specific 4 the whole game. At least for me, I was swapping them around constantly toward the later half of the game. Some bosses took the entire group for me to beat.
>>502441864>Also they left the NTR hint too.You mean the wife that's asleep at night and when you tell to her she says "You have to go, my husband will notice... Uh, sorry. I'm confused because I just woke up"? Paraphrased but that's the gist of it.
>>502386690No but she's just doing the same accent, West Country (from England, obviously).
>>502556724Depends on what "builds" you have (seems wrong to use that word for DQ) and what you're fighting. For example, boomerang Erik isn't great against bosses but dagger Erik is, and vice versa against random enemies. Bit lie the other Anon said, you're meant to mix it up.
>You are forced to go to Alltrades for PepperDid people really miss it in the original?
>>502550535I hope 12 brings back the job system, I'm inclined to agree with you. Yeah I am really enjoying III Remake but the fact that it's more or less 1:1 with just visual changes is a bummer, even the DS remakes of 4-6 added stuff like postgame dungeons, though admittedly I'm still early on in this so just going off of what I've heard. Octopath is the only new RPG in recent years with the kind of system I enjoy but even then it's not really like DQ3 or 9 at all.
They took away the board game, didn't they? I actually liked it.
I wanna do XI but all sub optimal builds.
Knew this was coming. I'm tempted to leave her spot open for later.
>>502543995>then after they hit 20 you just transfer them over to a class that scales to end game.any examples that aren't sage?
>>502563049Anything but Merchant is pretty good.
>>502563049Merchant is physical so going even more physical is a good idea.
So...A = ManB = WomanIs that right? Just double-checking.
>>502563543Yeah.
wish i made better choices in life so i could afford dq3 remake bros. gonna replay 5 on emulator instead.
>>502563543If you click on either one, it says *if you pick appearance A you'll play as a hero, if you pick appearance B you'll play as a heroine". So why the fuck they didn't just call them hero and heroine, I don't know. Especially since that's the classic term for the MC in the series anyway (Yuusha in Jap).
i hope 12 has a ogre companion
>>502563946And party member breeding mechanics.
>>502563992We can save that for the remake of V.
I'm in Khoryv. Will I find an Iron Lance or Chain Whip any time soon or shall I just buy them?
>>502563992and a female hero
>>502562173Well the hero is definitely worse with sword and shield rather than 2H.
Why was Himiko changed to Pimiko?
I thought sage was some super special secret class? All my of characters can change to sage instantly.
>>502564676Because it contains a gendered pronoun.
>>502543195The personality type is available to males now, so the name is gender-neutral. Same with "Aristocrat" and "Vamp".
>>502564798No it was changed since 3 got relocalized. Both terms are "technically" correct but I don't get why they swap around names like that.
>>502564809What was Vamp before? Something to do with being sexy? The way it's talked about if you get it at the start it sounds like the goddess, or whoever it is, is calling you a slut.
>>502547536>I just realised that personality changing equipment doesn't change personality if you equip it in the secondary accessory slot.The game gives you a tutorial about this early on. Said tutorial also informs you that the accessory WILL change your personality even in the Sub-Accessory slot if it is cursed.
>>502564728You must already have at least one of the books you need. Gadabout can change to it for free, others need this special book and there are two in the game.
>>502565012Yes, Sexy.
ran into a metal slime twice in a row in x, i will never win the lottery now
>>502565012Sexy in english and in Japanese it's Sexy Gyaru.
>>502565236But men can be called sexy too, so that's weird. Maybe in this case it's because the game explicitly states you've just turned 16 at the start of the game.
>>502565393>But men can be called sexy tooYeah but they can't be called セクシーギャル.
I hope XII is a linear action game with shallow RPG mechanics that barely matter like the greatest JRPG of all time, FFXVI.
>>502563173>>502563349what's another class that has lots of MP use, given merchant has lots of MP?also, am i wrong or there was an item to appraise stuff like merchant does? Cause i kinda like that option given all the flavor text it has for lots of items and equipment (plus how it can tell if something is cursed or not)
>>502565591I think you mean Conventionally Attractive Appearance B.
>>502565897>am i wrong or there was an item to appraise stuff like merchant doesNope there is no such item. Cursed items are usually obvious. If you suddenly find an item that sounds too good to be true, too much of a boost in a stat then chances are it's cursed. Plus the description kinda hints at it too. Merchant is really only good for the spell that summons a shop/priest/inn. It's really cheesy though.
>>502565948Not in my game. Modding it is easy so I just reverted the localized names and re-gendered the personalities.
I would be fine with 12 playing like Rogue Galaxy but I would really hate for it to be like the recent FF’s
Did they nerf revival costs?
>>502566956What if it was like FFXII? I'd actually like that.
>>502568868Very similar combat to Rogue Galaxy so I would be cool with that
>>502555274Luck and Wisdom are way better stats in remake Charmer is strictly worse. There's essentially 2 kinds of parties pre and post Baramos: Pre Baramos most people playing will use Hero as a primary damage dealer, decent enough aoe spells for trash and/or high class physical single target, For both Magic and Physical the better Wisdom/Luck matters while the extra Stamina is ??? and the modest Str gains Charmer has are inconsequential when there's enough Str seeds laying all over the floors that you can hit the rubber band while grinding up your party after their first Class change in the TowerEndgame Hero is an Omniheal printing machine, Is Falcon Slash/Gigagash fun and produces the dopamine? Sure - but it's nonsense to pretend Hero approaches Warrior-> MA levels of Physical output or that their time is better spent taking Oomphs and attacking instead of Healing the the Gadabout->Sages can Mag up are drop nukesIf you're willing to accept Hero just being terrible at contributing the Metals and wearing the status protection gear anyhow I'd even Argue Lonewolf is perhaps even better than Vamp as it's slightly better overall if you remove Luck from the calc - And if you don't mind being Last in turn order Ironclad is VERY appealing due to being so physically inclined without losing Wisdom growth
I think the dub VA for DQ3make Mum might be the same VA for DQ11's Amber.
It is the same and I hate it. She's way too old to play your mom in this game.
>>502572141Be nice to your mum
>>502572663):
I guess by now it's a good time to ask again.Is sage still just a combination of priest + mage?Is there any merit in turning a priest into a mage, or does the sage vocation make this redundant?
>>502573767redundant
Is there any non-garbage website that lists what each vocation learns at what level? Most sites just list everything that can be learned but doesnt say by who or when.
>Get through the Pyramid relatively fineWhat's with all the QQing? Just stock up on Strong Medicine when you get to the basement and run from the Shades that seem worked out of their mind for whatever reason.
What's the best equipment and level I should get before going to Tower of Transcendence? I am struggling against the random mobs outside of Baharat :(
>>502565694/v/'s obsession with trying to prove FF16 us a bad game is bordering on mental illness at this point. Game was fine, get on with your life.
>>502574431Meanwhile my freshly class changed team stomped everything. Also reached level 20 again within 30 mins, so Im about ready to change them again.
>>502574190Anon think about who are the new people playing this. XIfags.
I have one missing treasure in the main outdoor area of Romaria. Looked everywhere. Any ideas of any easy to miss treasure?
>>502574748Please tell me the secrets
>>502574731Best to avoid /v/ unless you're a masochist who enjoys genuinely terminally online tards crying DEI and goyslop over everything. DQ3 is going to do Titanic numbers in Japan whether they like it or not, sales numbers will reveal all in due time
I beat ripper of the rift. Was a bit underleveled but learning zap helped a bit and so did the Kaclang stall strat. Thanks,anon. Here's a pic of Samantha after dealing the final blow as a reward.
>>502575228Well the biggest thing is once you hit the 5th floor of the tower you get tons of metal slimes, metal slimes show up an ok amount on the way to the tower, also probably depends on your party, and they level up faster when you change class
>>502565591Playing in Japanese, I think they can be called that. I haven't tried attaching that accessory to anyone yet but the description still describes the 性格 as セクシーギャル
>>502575228My first trip to the tower was with Hero with a Boomerang, Wrangler with a whip and 2 Gadabouts with whatever. Went to turn em into Sages soon as they hit 20 and went back to learn spellsI bought the 6k Boomer from the Merchant at Alltrades and the Whip was uh spiked or chain, idk I had gotten it a bit ago
Aside fron spell buffing what does gadabout learn and when? There are no good lists for this information.
>>502575734Hmm. Ok. The problem is I feel like I take too much damage
>>502575678Kek. That's actually funny. You can make an old man sexy gyaru then.
>>502575884Do you have good armor?
How do you get the golden claw now? Searching the spot where you usually find a hidden staircase yields nothing
>>502576456I found a staircase just fine.
>>502576431Decent armor I think. Should I farm gold by killing random mobs for the best armor I can get? I feel like that will take a while
>>502546071I had never played DQ III although I am a regular here and I always find exaggerated how they would talk about it. Until 2 days ago when it was pretty spot-on. Now I see the power of the creator's third eye...
>>502576789Grinding for some gokd may be for the best yes
>>502566956same, especially if they bring back level5 for that>>502568868very much same, even better than the rogue galaxy option for me
>>502575798Found this listhttps://game8.jp/dq3/142182
How come my Warrior doesn't change to Vamp when I equip the garter? It worked fine on everyone else
>>502569951Charmer matches Vamp in wisdom in the remake so it's only trading agility and luck out for strength and stamina. The gains aren't huge but agility is devalued or sometimes detrimental and luck scales at a worse rate than strength on physical attackers despite the buff. You aren't suffering at all as an omnihealer but have a better pre Baramos hero aside from gear restrictions you'll likely prioritize passing items to other characters on.Ironclad would probably be the best but it's completely impossible to get on Hero
>>502580520She's too pure and refuses to br corrupted
>>502580520You have two accessory slots. Second one doesn't change personality.
>>502580520Nevermind I'm a dumbass and accidentally put it in the secondary slot
>>502580520Equip it on the first slot you must be putting it on the second
I say just roll with whatever personality you get, but then I got carefree so maybe I would say that
How's Hero/MW/Thief/Gadabout?
>>502580832If you bring along a Monster Master you can pretty safely use whoever you want for the other two slots, he has excellent utility.
>>502580832It's fine. The only problem is that anything with no priest is liable to randomly explode but Wrangler and Thief are solid enough early to carry a gadabout
>>502576789there is 1.3k on a tree in a secret location close to where you are
I don't have a Martial Artist, so are the golden claws worth keeping or should I sell them?
>>502580832I'd say bring a mage and just use the tome, Mage wipes so many annoying encounters otherwise
>>502580832I keep hearing MW is busted as fuck, so enjoy your EZmode.
How to fix this on Yuzu?
>>502583839The power is overflowing...!
>>502492506I caved and bought the game. Having fun so far
>>502584163yeah, too much power can also be a problem it seems. I spent my weekend trying to make it work flawlessly.
>>502584254Did you go for an Oneeshota harem party, all girls, or vampy reverse harem?
Man, Boss Troll is a pain in the fucking ass on Draconian mode. Maybe I'm under leveled (everyone is around 2, aside from my Sage at level 16) but I don't remember him curbstomping me as much in the GB game.
>>502585013whatever the one where you play as a boy and pick 3 girls as your party is
>>502583839glowies
If you flashed post-DQ4chapter1 Healie with the Mirror of Ra, would his form revert?
>>502574016JP wiki posted earlier in thread.
>>502583839>and this is to go even further beyond!!
No matter how much I grind I can't make enough money to buy new weapons and armor.
>>502585264I strongly suspect party order no longer affects enemy targeting and a lot of encounters are more prone to volatility as a result
my camera bugged out a bit on the world map and now somethings are in my way because its slightly more forward facing now
>>502586142I don't understand why this is a problem. If you're grinding, you're probably overleveled now. Do you really need to buy more gear? Hasn't the game given you a ton for free? If the gear in the shop doesn't give you a +10 or more to your stats, it's not worth your time anyway.
>>502550535>What it really has me hungry for is more new games like DQ3 thoughHave you tried Romancing SaGa, anon?
>>502577474Thanks. I want hustle dance but ugh... not sure if worth. How long after the tower until you get a better grind spot? Some liquid metal slimes would be nice
>>502586635looks like a phone game
My party got stuck on top of eachother, help
I bought this on whim earlier having completed the GBC version years ago. This is all in one session.
>>502586460It feels as if I have been playing for hours walking and fighting but I still get dunked by enemies.
Man I'm starting to regret not having a mage or warrior on my starting team, I feel so weak going into the bandits cave with a MW, priest and thief.
>>502587616I did the same only it was>MW>Merch>ThiefIt's a rougher start but if I could do it so can you.
>>502587616>>502587695All of these classes have strong early games... probably stronger than mage and warrior even.
>>502586142Almost like Merchant isn't useless, or something.
>>502587695Yeah I have no intention of changing up now, the thought just came to mind when my Somatic staff priest did more damage then my entire party. >>502587764Doesn't feel like it, but maybe my stat growths are just shit, I didn't try to min-max and went with whatever personality they got.
>>502586217Pretty sure someone ingame mentioned it does.
>Just finished Pyramid>People keep telling me Thief is bad>Is easily the best member of the groupDo they just completely fall off or something? Just got the Edge Boomerang and literally clear entire encounters in 1 round because I shifted the Thief personality to focus on Strength, Agility and Luck.
awful performance in theddon on switch
>>502588329I think they're fine, mine does a lot of work too. I'm expecting her to fall off later since agility no longer scales defenses but at that point I'll reclass her anyways.Draconian feels easy enough for me but I wonder if most of the people struggling are actual newcomers to the game who didn't already play the older versions, which is fair enough, and just have weak personality set ups or aren't used to using utilities since they matter a lot less in most RPGs.
>>502589221>Game literally spells out what Personalities do, each and every one>Game offers a metric fuckload of means to change personalities freely>Giving people an out for being moronsI havn't played a Dragon Quest game since Dragon Warrior 3 on the GBC, was 11 at the time, and beat it fairly easily. Stop enabling people being retards.
>>502587695Same party as me. I'm doing okay but sometimes it gets pretty worrying. I actually thought the mage was meant to be bad in this - I quickly read up on it since I haven't played this game in a very long time, and people were saying mages were bad and hardly did any damage. I chose thief thinking it'd help make money but she's been total shit so far in terms of stealing. Often MvP with boomerang, though, and with a lot of crits with it.
>>502589221I played the snes version a few years ago and I remember breezing thru the game, but this time the game is kicking my ass. I definitely think I've just been getting unlucky with enemies always desperate attacking me, but man not doing optimal personalities in this game is rough at some points in the game.
Daydreamer MW? Y/N?
>>502589728Yeah, well when I was 11 I was fingering girls and not being a nerd.
>>502589778Mages are an investment in DQ3 normally. Magic damage doesn't scale in older versions of the game and MP is a scarcer resource, so around the middle of the game they transition to buff bots before class changing into sages or becoming tankier buff bots by reclassing into warriors or thieves. They might be better in this version but sage is still certainly a general improvement.It seems the general dynamic for classes hasn't changed despite balance changes though. The game is really designed around class changing, you don't have to autistically grind everything out but classes are still blatantly divided into "starter classes" and "end game classes". The good thing though is that the dumpster classes are actually playable now so there's no truly shit class.
>>502590231you peaked that early, huh?
>>502590231And how are you doing now?
>>502590595>>502590997Currently fingering 10 girls while playing DQ3 with my feet.
>>502589728The personality blurbs are garbage and the mechanics for landing on them aren't intuitive. I wouldn't expect a blind player to know what they're doing, especially when finding intuitive guides for the new game is hard. I got by fine since I have requirements burned into my skull and they largely remained the same but I can't expect a new player to know that they even matter.People coming in from Final Fantasy or Persona or something probably aren't even making use of items.
>>502550535>I wish more JRPGs leaned in harder on the gameplay side with parties you personally built and less time spent on the story content.If you're someone that's cool with 8-bit graphics, check out Scarmonde.
>>502591120The game has like, 10 seperate pages flooding the Info tab spelling it out. Items literally tell you what they do.Sincerely, learn to fucking read. The game blatantly spells this shit out for you.
So, the snes version or the remake?Are the gameplay improvements worth the worse graphics and lack of soul?
no way the king gave me 50 gold and told me to equip my party and save the world when swords start at 120g
>>502591369NTA but the descriptions are vague. Vamp says it raises some stuff while other stats are "balanced". Oh, I thought, that means nothing is in the negative. But then I noticed when other personalities *did* have negatives, they actually mentioned that. But most don't mention negatives, so must also be "balanced" right? But they don't say "balanced". So what does that mean?
>>502589221Have you gotten to Boss Troll yet? He feels much harder in this game than the older ones.
>>502588329physical is very weak in this game except early on and very late game when your str stat is maxed
>>502591618The remake is definitely the best version of the game now, it's just that it's also not by a very large margin and makes some very questionable choices despite a AAA asking price and a fuckton of time to fix thirty year old problems.It's the version to play but also you can load up an emulator, not pay 60 bucks, and get an experience that's like 95% as good.
>>502591636It's like if the king said he was going to make everything cheaper for you but also said he was going to put 40% import tariffs on almost every product.
>>502591751LEARNTOREAD
>>502591369>>502592304You're obviously the one who can't read since you don't seem to be addressing a single thing anyone else has brought up. No one would be talking about personality descriptions being shit if they hadn't seen them. They're overwhelmingly non-indicative of the actual growth values that we have at this point and nothing in the game tells you how to aim for one.The vast majority of penalties are straight up unlisted.
>>502592304But that makes no sense because Vamp stats aren't balanced, they're a net positive. There are personalities that raise some stuff but lower others but have a net gain of zero (balanced) but aren't described as such. There are ones that have a net loss but aren't described as that. Vamp has no negatives, just positives, yet is described as balanced. So what does SE think the word means? And why not just put the percentages in?
Thanks again for telling me about Thieves yesterday, bros. I've pretty much decided I'm going Warrior, Monster Wrangler and a Thief who will eventually be a Sage. I think putting a Thief's agility onto a healer/buffer/trash mob aoe nuker is a good idea. That just leaves personalities as my only big choice. Never messed around with them before as the only version I've beaten didn't have them. Definitely gonna answer the Goddess' questions honestly, so who knows what my Hero will get, likely something lame. You determine your party members' personalities based off of feeding them seeds at the start, right? I don't even know what the options are except what I see people talking about here.I kinda wish I could just pick whatever I wanted from a list for the sake of some RP ideas I've got in my head, but maybe it would be cooler to just assign seeds in whichever way "feels right" to me and adapt to whatever strange and goofy personalities I wind up with.
>>502591618I like the graphics and think it’s as soulful as the snes one (nes being the most soulful)
>>502593057It's still a JRPG. You can clear the hardest difficulty by putting in extra grind to compensate the mechanical disadvantages, and the easier difficulties should be fine no matter how fucked up your party is and you can adjust between them at will. One of the reasons that DQ3 is timeless and even the older versions hold up to this day is just that the game really makes itself your personal adventure no matter how you choose to play it. Players who want to optimize as much as possible and plan their build and strategy out can do it it, and people who want to lay back and cruise through the game while roleplaying can do it. You're not forced to engage the systems you don't want to to get by in this game.
>>502586635i will when the international version of minstrel song comes out
>>502547536There was only one accessory slot in previous versions of the game.So technically it was always like that, I suppose.
>>502593541Eh, it's not so much optimization I'm worried about is getting some personality that I really don't want on a particular character. Then again, I guess that's what those items people are talking about are for. And since it rebalances stats on level up over the long run, or so I hear, everything should work out. Yeah, I think I'll just give whatever seeds I feel like and see how it works out next month. Thanks for being my sounding board, Anon.
Anything I should do before Baramos's lair?
>>502594775Have sex.
Are any of the DQ builders 2 dlc that good or add much to the main game? Particularly combat challenges on the new islands or the fishing mechanics?
>>502586142That's cause you aren't supposed to. Anyways, do the monster arena. It's easily 5k
>>502595413The fishing DLC adds two characters who are descendants of characters from DQB1, one of which being one of the best DQB1 characters
>>502587176Goddamn, a true quester
>>502594931Good for relieving stress, good advice anon
>trapped in an indefinite loop of dying fire calling allies back up to 8 every turnHOLY SHIT THIS IS SO FUN
When you take the Meteorite Bracer from under Ibis, and the skeleton appears, I was honest and he left me alone. But would he attack if I lied? And is he a unique enemy? Or linked to a trophy?
>>502596846He leaves you alone no matter what. It's just a nice fluff thing they added.
>>502587581I feel the same way. I was talking earlier. We weren't prepared for the old school challenge when we bought it xD
>>502587176Anon, you're going to die.
>the monster wrangler will never wrangle your monster dick
>>502597204modding community will save you
>>502596743it's DQ specific thing for some reason but every time enemies call reinforcements i go "more exp for me"also, i keep thinking of pic related no matter what's the actual monster i'm fighting
>>502595759I skipped 1 so I don't really care much for throwbacks
I feel like Handy Heal All is a beginner's trap. I keep running out of MP right before bosses and then needing to Zoom out and come back to the boss while fleeing all the enemies.
>>502598331I find it handier when fucking about in the world going from town to town than using it before bosses.But in a way that's how the game was originally designed anyway. Explore dungeons until you run out of resources, go back to town, go back to dungeon and explore some more until you finally explore it all.
>>502598331thinking man choice is to stash herbs and use those to cure (out of fights)
>>502592770That's not what the word balance is in the context of it's use when applied in the descriptor for what the Vamp personality does. Jesus fucking Christ, some of you dying off would be a net positive for humanity as a whole.And since they changed what Agility does in the game, Vamp is no longer even good, so even if you were talking about balance between the Personalities (which isn't the case, just to further spell it out for anyone who still doesn't understand wtf we're talking about here), Agility because a wasted stat growth once you've hit the point where you're already acting first at the start of the round. No, a Mage getting a Strength penalty means fuck all if you're never intending to have them touch the Attack command.
>>502598119Wouldn't care as much if it wasn't a boss fight where these cocksuckers are casting instadeath spells
>>502598119If you think about it, it looks like a hand is fisting a very messy asshole, but the person being fisted is entirely invisible apart from his runny shit.
>>502598958How the hell can you be so confident when you're so fucking stupid. It's mind-boggling. You've spent this entire series of exchanges outright ignoring what anyone said to repeat the same thing over and over when every reply has been directly addressing how you're so fucking dumb.Where the fuck do you manage the sheer brazenness to claim that no one else fucking reads when you're actively showing the entire thread of people that you're completely illiterate. It's insane. Did your mother tell you that you were a genius when you were 6 and then you decided to take it to heart for the rest of your life?
Wait, what? They changed Agility?
Gimme a year and a half and I'll have a dq3 sex mod with bad endings, pixalated and art based sex scenes.
Newfag here.Just got to Alefgard in DQ3, is there going to be a difficulty spike like with Garboyle?
>>502600169Need big-titted tomboy Loto
>>502598958>Balanced applied to Vamp means 1.1x modifiers except when they're not>1.1x modifiers applied to Spoilt is "increase slightly quicker", no mention of 0.8x mods>0.8x is "increase slowly" on Clumsy, but 0.9x is also "increase slowly". But only for half of the stats those numbers affect>None of this applies to Genius>0.5x and 0.6x is also "increase slowly" on Gourmand but 0.8x is not
Do you earn a lot of money from the monster arena? I wanna buy some new gear but issexpenivo
>>502602432It's a ton of money on your first clear of each tier on top of the massive amount of savings on gear you get from it
>>502602432First win, yes. But for rank 3 you'll need to get a few monsters where you have type dupes so they rank up. They get massive stat boosts from that.
Since I was a kid I've fantasised about gagging on Loto's futa cock (no balls, vag) because she gets so horny from adventuring and I'm her personal relief. This game is bringing it all back.
>>502601840dragon quest isnt listed here, dropped

>>502610604noo.. i was too scared..
Variations of that post have been posted since at least 2022. The format and username have changed over time, but it's always the same post.Don't fall for it.

>>502612782It's copypasta
anon is just jelly of losing dq fangirls
>>502612964fags here are too busy trying to guess which shitty part of britain and ireland they are from instead of adventuring
>>502612964its cool that they added secret spots in the water, smart way to not change the map but still being able to add stuff
>>502612964I just hit Pajeet land and am calling it a day.
>>502613290I would've adventured to her shitty town and got a puff puff.
>Patty thinks of herself as your big sisteras if I didn't have enough reasons to love her
I want a big sister
>>502613641hope you enjoyed the voice acting
I matched with a girl on Tinder because of our love of DQ and Star Ocean and then she sent me her cosplay pics and she was obviously 9.
>>502610761they lent you their hand after you complained of being lonely and you just ignored them
Is anyone working on a re-translation mod yet for DQ3HD?

>>502614091No Anon. Of course there isn't. What a silly thing to even think about suggesting.
>>502614028Very obvious samefag
i want a big sister to roleplay incest with
>>502612964Just beat Baramos. My wrangler was the MVP with 800+ damage each turn
>>502613968>and she was obviously 9.Out of 10?
>>502614329She was 10 out of 10, but 9.
>>502614282How did the MW held up late game in general? I am thinking of changing my warrior into one.
How did this 1 gram brain retard end up streaming this game? It's like watching a baby with no legs try to tap dance.
>Get Golden Claw from Pyramid>Far and away better than all other weapons, but no Martial Artist to give it to (yet)>Sells for 6k goldSo...should I keep it in case it's secretly one of the best items in the game, or sell it if I'm going to get a better set later on?
>using stat seeds before you reclass
>>502614823In the original game, they were the strongest weapons a martial artist could equip, but they get outclassed by stronger claws in the remakes. HOWEVER...One of those claws is a reward for 80 mini medals, and the other is from the postgame dungeon.Do with that information as you will.
>>502614172i thought it was a bot
>>502614816she got into dragon ball this past year so its not surprising, might have also played dark prince or 11
Does girl Loto have pubes?
>>502616132probably?
>>502615356>using stat seeds before hitting max level
>used stat seeds You didn't beat the game
>>502616258No, no she doesn't. She's cute, not a hag.
>>502616875pubes are natural and can be really sexy
>>502595413If you want anything resembling extra story content, its only the fishing dlc. The other two dlcs are additional blocks/explorer shores only.The fishing dlcs "story content" is just a fish collecting sidequest that slots in alongside a main story playthrough, though itd be mind numbing to finish in the postgame. (Each island has a bunch of fish for you to catch)Aside from fishing being somewhat fun, the biggest story perk is it gives Malroth more party chat dialogue as you progress along the fishing sidequest. Its not a full plotline, or anything though. It does make me wish the other dlcs had sidequests
>>502617324Only when they're on girls you'd think would be too young to have them. On everyone else, it's like a man's beard by their pussy.
Is it possible to beat Rank 4 Monster Arena with tier 2 monsters? The clouds and bees rape me.
wtf I had no idea merchants were actually useful
>>502617670Do you have ice attacks? That's good against insects.
>>502615586Keep it is, then. Still unsure if I want to turn my Thief => Martial Artists => Thief, so I'll hand onto them for now (despite the fact the 6k would be a godsend for other equipment).
>>502618210I ended up winning with Restless Armour, Spiked Hare and Healslime. It was pure RNG tho.
I can't decide if DQ3 or Veilguard is my GOTY.
What's this bitch problem?

>>502620815my wrangler skill says there is one ready at day, weird
>>502621226I had the wrong town in mind. According to a guide you just can't get it yet.
I think I might be a bit overleveled. I just got to Alefgard and my Sage is one shotting everything with Kaboom
Whistle is so good to cut time of grinding.
Which class has the best backsprite?
>>502624482warrior or thief
>game is called Dragon Quest>the quest has nothing to do with dragons>very few dragons in the game overall
>>502624870drangonlord and green dragon are right there to be quested

Is the Hero xp curve slow cuz they can't reclass?
>>502625638yes
>think the game runs like shit>turn vsync off>game runs flawlesslyremind me why this piece of shit setting exists again? I've never once had it improve the experience of playing a game.
>>502626969What kind of potato are you playing on if vsync tanks your performance?
Throw Stone is pretty good. Damage isn't amazing but it's a full AoE that you get VERY early.
Heh...
Is it worth to keep thief after reaching level 20? I feel like mine has really fallen out of usefulness combat wise so I think I should go Sage now.
The monster arena is alright
>Garboyle boss fight>keep him under control>starts spamming inferno>everyone dies instantlyholy shit this game is kino
>>502629653my metal slime carries
>>502629484Depends if you wanna steal. Lv/16+1 * Drop rate chance of item means it's pretty good. 2x odds at 16, 3x at 32, etc.
>>502630854>miss>miss>miss>CRITICAL
>>502630873I think I've got enough seeds and items from my thief to last me til end game, I think it's time I had some actual damage going for me. Thanks anon, I think I'll go with sage now.

Man I can't get this cat suit to drop. Partyalmost level 21.
>>502631354It's a drop?
>>5026314801/256 from the Cat Vampires in the desert area.
>>502631354You could just play the game normally and get 3 of the cat suitsI also got one from having creamapi on when I started the game
>>502625729Wife material
>>502630854it's pretty funny how op it is
>>502630873Speaking of stealing, is this one of those games where unrepeatable boss fights will have a unique item that can only be obtained via Steal?
>>502503579>attack twiceSo is this not an anti-piracy thing? I thought I was going nuts with how often enemies were attacking
Splooper!
>>502632678Steal is a random chance after battles so no it's not. Otherwise it'd be very fucking stupid.
>>502633390Excellent, thanks bro. RPGs with Steal always make me worry about that.
Damn they weren't lying that pyramid ain't no joke. The thought of grabbing the golden claws makes my blood run cold.
>Use Flame Slash on Sap'd Robbin' 'Ood>112 damageAre levels 11-12 too high for this point?
So here's my options nowSolo Hero or Autistic min/maxed party for the endgame you don't even need to min/max forHelp me choose
>>502635325Former sounds like hard mode, latter sounds like easy mode. Both sound like they'll take a while.You want it rough or smooth?
>>502635098Not really.
>>502635541I'll eventually do both it's just about the order. I just can't quite decide
what should i reclass my priestest into bros? I was gonna do theif, but I already have a theif that reclassed into a sage, i don't think I will get much millage.
new thread>502637070>>502637070>>502637070
>>502636703In that case, I say go with full party min/max first.
>>502634804I did it earlier today and found the basement much easier than the rest of the pyramid even without being able to use magic. The staff that shoots fireball when used as an item helped my mage not be totally dead weight since the mummies are weak to fire, and if you stock up on strong medicines healing isn't too big a deal either. I'd rather fight mummies and shades than the legions of grillerpillars upstairs anyhow, fuck those guys.
>>502627272idk, game runs flawlessy with everything else maxed. I think vsync is just a scam.
