does the thief suck early game? I feel like he isn't able to do a lot of damage
>>503411891Thief is very good very early due to AoE weapon access and status effects actually being very strong in this game. But they start falling off after around 20 when their weapon selection goes to shit, with the final weapon they can get before Baramos being dogshit. It's pretty likely for your thief to fall so far behind that they're only hitting for 1 damage.They get better again late so they have a U curve progression but the assumption is really that you class change your thief at 20 in most runs after picking up your treasure hunting utilities.
>>503411891a bit yeah but the abilities he learns are pretty useful outside of battle especially late game
>>503411891get the whip from the mini medal guy and it should be fine for a while
>>503411891Thieves are for aoe weapons and status effects. They're actually better early game than later on, it's just very early on that they suck.
>>503411521You can clear Draconian without any grinding at all with no class changes if you know what you're doing and you have a good class lineup. Class changing is probably mandatory for post-game barring some extreme overgrinding, but it really isn't necessary for a regular run.The reason so many people are getting checked and need to change classes is just a lack of knowledge. Not even a lack of skill or anything. It's new players who don't know how the classes work yet, and veterans getting caught off guard by the changes since the release is still new. Classes in DQ are balanced asymmetrically so it's possible to get soft stuck at different points in the game on different compositions and either have to class change or need to overgrind like crazy.
Played the SFC version few years back and it was great fun.Trying the remake now on draconian and man people were lying about it being easy, sure theres some easy parts but a good amount of spikes, the new bosses are really scary on draconian and some of the old bosses are brutal too. about 30 hours in and just beat garboyle, spent about an hour losing to him before grinding a level or two and using some seeds and then was able to kill him after 2 or 3 tries.Current party is roughly lvl 32:hero lvl 32monster wranglermage -> sagepriestBeen holding off switching my priest until I get multi heal and MAYBE kazing, will swap monster wrangler once I've found enough monsters to get the double turn move
I swear I could start a museum with the amount of divine daggers this fucking game throws at me. I know these games love to give you junk that's 20+ levels lower than you need but there seems to be an obsession with divine daggers specifically being fucking everywhere.
>>503413149I think it's less that people were lying and more that the first few hours really are super easy, with a spike at the pyramid, and after the pyramid it's still rather easy until you get the boat.
Post dancer costume pics
>>503413149>wrangleryou didn't beat that fight
Stupid double action crabids
>>503414587My hero was doing 200 dmg with oomph per lightning slash, wrangler does around 250, having a warrior instead I could probably do about the same damage.Also>cast fizzle>enemy recovers from it in the exact same turn they were inflicted with itThis spell is worthless in this game
>>503415364fizzle is good, one boss couldn’t cast for 3 turns once
>>503415571From my experience in draconian at MOST I get a single turn, a lot of the time they instantly recover and its better off to just cast magic barrier or heal rather than have a small chance that they cant cast for a single turn
>baramas>um it's actually baramos sir>SHUT THE FUCK UPZoma is hilarious.
>>503415798also on draconian and its helped me quite a few times
Did the original also give you stupidly high amounts of gold as random loot? Like 5-8K by examining a random pot feels a bit insane.
ix has the best battle music and boss music
>>503416536I don't think I found more than 2k or 3k in pots, and that only happened a handful of times. There's been some chests in those new secret areas in the overworld with lots of gold, but not random pots.I'm playing on Draconian so maybe it cuts down money gotten from pots as well?
Do personality types also affect exp per level?
>>503417560No, it's just class that does.
>>503417560Different classes have different growth rates
>>503416886I'm also on draconian. I got 8K in one pot, 7K in another, 5K in another...I think most of them have been in secret spots so maybe they're an extra reward for the people who go out of their way to explore those, but it still feels like overkill.
>>503416536I found 10k in a bookshelf somewere
I'm about to dump money to buy a Metal Slime 3DS for my collection....
>>503421889Show me where so I can do the same.
Started playing XI and now I'm just sad and reminded of IV.
>>503421889honestly its not as expensive as one would think. less them most modern consoles still and you can play all of the dq main line games on it
I wonder if the IIImake will get some nice romhacks. If the Snes one did logically pc one should right? More so.
>four suits of flame armor for the trialwtf do I find that?
>>503422101There's some on ebay, but I only look at sellers with 100% positive feedback. I'm looking at one for $250 right now.
>>503422280I dislike the censorship but I'm really annoyed because I've been following the modding community and basically all of the interest is in restoration efforts despite people making a lot of interesting findings about the game and avenues for hacks.
>>503422712Well they're focusing on the easy stuff. It's no accident that they made their restoration mod part of an all encompassing mod so nobody else can make one now. >Restoration>Translation>DifficultyCovers it all.
>>503422280>PC game>romhackanon....
>>503422160The Cobblestone scene?
>>503422601>>503422101The yen is so weak right now, you'd probably find a better price looking on secondhand japanese sites, even with shipping.
>>503423332Yes
I think DQ3 is great, but man how the fuck do you level up? It feels like there's no good methods once normal metal slimes start being insufficient. The assasin type moves that one shot also feel particularly bad in this game, and all the reliable ones are hopelessly high level and you won't reach that level normally.
I sure hope you guys have Luck positive personalities otherwise you're literally gimped.
Several hours in, I rate DQ6 a where-the-fuck-do-I-go out of ten so far.
>>503424469Has anyone worked out the luck breakpoints yet? I know you're losing up to 20% damage with bad luck but I haven't seen anyone figure out how much luck you actually need before it falls off.
>draconian mode until the very end>realize this mode apparently gives you less goldare you shitting me right now?
>>503424953I always thought it was very linear once you beat the first major boss.
>>503425103https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonquest/comments/1gy2mym/dq3_hd2d_remake_base_luck_and_physical_damage/
>>503424469>>503426007>played the whole game with the biggest luck deficit personalitythis explains so much>>503424953thats the best part. Find yourself
Freedom at last.
>>503426229how do you even grind this far, it feels like the game fucking bricks at level 30 ish. Leveling up stops feeling frequent
Can I change the haircut of my reclassed heroes?
How is it that after all these years Moonbrooke still doesn't have a canon hair colour.>>503426387On the right side of All Trades Abbey there's a stylish heal slime that does haircuts.
>>503426569Double the colors, double the fun
>>503427009
>>503427210much prefer the purple
How annoying is it to get the Golden Claw in this version anons?
>>503425140It's only less gold from monsters. Since the game still shits out the same amounts of gold in loot which is fucking everywhere it makes VERY little difference. Instead of enemies dropping less gold it should have just increased sale prices.
>>503427419I found it wasn't so bad. You'll probably want at least 20 strong medicines and if you have a mage give them one of the staves that does something when used as an item since they can't cast. The upper levels of the pyramid to get the key were way more cancer with all those grillerpillars than the underground golden claw section, IMO.
What can they possibly do with the 1+2 remake to make it at least as good as 3HD and not ruin the spirit of the games?
>>503423189You know what I mean anon.
They should have just remade DQ into an action rpg.There is no saving DQ2.
Okay this was worth it. Channel Anger is amazing and it looks fucking kino.
>>503427913Well at first people had theorized that III would have way more new story content then what we got. So honestly I'm just expecting a couple added cut scenes for I and probably some more interactions between the trio but nothing else.
>>503428161I already beat the main game but I've been wondering whether Channel Anger or the triple Wrangler dips are even actually worth it in context of bosses who remove buffs.
>>503422197I just checked what it cost for 3DS DQ games on amazon and V was $500 lmao
>>503427913I feel they may finally hit a sweet spot of difficulty balance for 2, that already goes a long way. I hope they'll add party talk for 2 as well.One thing I think has no chance of happening but that would be cool for 1 is, since it has less pieces of equipment and only one character, would be if every piece of equipment shows in the sprite. This way you don't start the game wearing Erdrick's Armor and earn it piece by piece. Something in the spirit of the Shonen Jump illustrations for DQ1 that show the hero using all kinds of armor and weapons instead of the standard look.
>>503428463Scalpers always do this when a new DQ releases. Prices go up and for stuff that isn't they get bought up and resold. Give it a few months and everything will go down.
>>503427836I'll do it tomorrow and grab a lot of heals then. Thanks!I don't have any mages so I guess I should just have multi hit weapons with everyone>grillerpillarsThese dudes are insane. I got a fight with 4 of them in the desert and all of them used fire breath two times in the same turn.
>>503428023They're called mods, anon.
>>503426007So the best personalities are Vamp, Wit and Lucky Devil.
>>503428170It'd be really cool if they added party chat for II but I'm not holding my breath.
>>503427913I additions>day and night cycle>recruitable monsters for monster racing>if you run into battles while carrying the princess she will have flavor text cheering you on before your attacks >after game boss rush featuring a bonus bossII additions >day and night cycle>party chat/camping >recruitable monsters for monster racing (monsters can carry over from I?)>after game story with a new companion
>>503427913Make them both into>>503429164I was more impressed by the Star Ocean 2 HD-2D because we got both Japanese tracks. And many of the cutscenes were superb imo. Make me wish we got an HD-2D games for SNES Dragon Quests rather than the NES Era ones. Also Chrono Trigger.
>>503428963Ditching luck entirely to not have to invest in it is probably also viable since there's a hard cap on how much damage you can lose without it if you can make it up with other stats assuming you're not going into hyper late game where you're actually hitting soft damage limits. At a glance, Hero and Warrior are the likely candidates for throwing the stat away entirely while it's totally mandatory if you're finishing as Martial Artist.
I want II to have a reference to Builders 2 in the postgame
>>503428934I call them jannies.
>>5034279132's melee only hero will probably have some good abilities
Is there a book that changes personality to Lucky Devil?
>>503429327Pfft the most added content I can see is recruitable monsters and new dungeon. Party chat for II would be a miracle. Heck I won't buy the game at full price unless it has that.
How does everything work in Alefgard? If it's always dark and night the it's cold as fuck. How does anything grow? how do people travel between towns in complete darkness? What's in the oceans?
>>503430294The original Dragon Quest VII was like an HD-2D game without the HD It would be easy to remake into HD like Star Ocean 2.
>>503431207Maybe they are a pastoral society. I blame Nes limitations.
name a more comfy village theme. You can'thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAt1VP2uYPw

>>503430929No you need the hen's tooth accessory.
>>503432056I respect your taste anon. DQVII is a very comfy game.
>>503421615I hope when they get around to remastering the Zenithian trilogy they use Sofia in some of the marketing materials.She has a great design and deserves to be featured as prominently as Solo.
Eliza >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Rose
>>503433010Could NOT disagree more. She looks way too 80s, aged the worst out of every NES girl. Maybe with custom hairstyles they could fix her...
>>503433010One thing that just occurred to me. Is there any reason Solo and Sofia have names? They're the only DQ protagonists with names that aren't just the number of their game.
>>503433483Which is to say she looks the most distinctive and charming. Solo’s design is too generic to age, the only thing memorable about him is his unconventional hair colour.
>>503433861Solo has fucking fish ears. He's easily one of the most commonly recalled heros.
3DS DQVIII port to home consoles with ochestrated music when?

>>503436104no not really, I just think they're sexo
I reached a part of the temple of trials where I need boomerangs and claws, but only my Hero and MA can use them. Do I need to go back and reclass my other party members? What other weapon restrictions are there? I already did the staff and axe one.
>>503436543Just those two parts. I'm not sure what you do about your actual problem though.
>>503430709Same, not expecting it though
Tips for beating Xenlon in 15 turns on Draconian? I'm able to beat him in 18 turns right now.

So wait, luck is king now? But it feels like all the personalities to improve luck are otherwise trash.
>>503441285Two claws.
>>503441778Lucky Devil has no penalties and 150% luck growth
No one else has mentioned the boom boom boom reference…
>>503442094No penalties, but no bonuses either. I think. Oh wait it's got a 10% agility bonus I guess.But what's the point of not hamstringing your damage variance if you're not getting the extra strength to boost it even more?
>had 0 luck warrior because of a cursed item>warrior carried in the final bossyou don’t have to worry about what’s the best bros
>>503441778It's very good and worth considering but it's not necessarily the stat to prioritize. The basic idea is that attacks have a damage range of 90%-110% and luck pushes you towards a side if you're much higher or lower than the "average" value you're expected to be at.You still need the actual base damage to make the extra modifier worthwhile though and how you approach that is going to depend on a lot of other factors. A Paragon is still going to out damage a Lucky Devil for basically the entire game.
>Warrior -> Martial Artist>Priest -> Sage>Mage -> Monster Wrangler or ThiefI think I got this
>>503442570Better to turn a thief into a fast high agi sage so you always heal first
Dragon Quest localization but one town uses 2000s internet leet speak and another uses modern Valorant accent
>went into this being all "oh haha I'm going to just use whatever personalities the game gives me">pick up a personality accessory or book >immediately start referencing tables trying to determine if it's better than what I've currently gotmodern gaming has ruined me.
>>503443493a town full of Brittney from Builders 2
>>503443851
>>503443493>modern Valorant accentWhat does this mean? Is it a kid's thing?
>>503444250It's like halfway between the gen alpha skibbity speech and the weed burnout fratboy droll. Everything is in monotone except when they stretch their As and their Os. You'll probably recognize it instantly if you look it up on YouTube.
So is there a new postgame location somewhere in this remake? I beat Xenlon first try in 30 turns, but I'm still missing nine monsters in the Defeated Monsters list before the boss section. I'm also still missing three mini medals and eight recruitable monsters despite using Nose for Treasure and Animal Instinct literally goddamn everywhere and hunting every secret spot I could find, including the oceans and flight.
What level should I be for Rubiss Tower? Done pretty much everything else in Alefgard but still haven't gotten to Level 40 like the guide I saw recommended. 39 Hero, 38 Wrangler, and two 35 Sages. Been trying to Metal Slime grind but only hit 1/6 attacks and the fuckers always run away.
As soon as my warrior got sword dance, he went from being my worst party member to the mvp. It's only because of that move + oomph that I managed to beat baramos so easily
>>503446474I had a much weaker party when I ran it. Just try it and see how it goes, you can grind more after if it looks dicey.
Shit dude, Martial Artist fucking SUCKS. I'm at Baramos and mine has consistently been the least valuable member of the party the entire way, only ever contributing to jump up and kick birds. Why the FUCK do they not learn Multifists or Roundhouse Kick or something early on?
>>503428570Anyone know where I can check out those Shonen Jump illustrations? Google just gives me thousands of Dai related results.
>>503448076this games biggest flaws is useful moves being comically so late to the point where it doesn't even make any sense. I'm playing draconian so idk how the game is on normal, but i had to hard grind for basic vital shit like multi heal, swords dance, kazing, etc
>>503416536>>503416886There's a bookshelf on the right of a room on that tiny island with a town on it that gave me 10k. Not one of the usual ones with a red book on.
Thinking about buying my dad a Switch and 3master for Christmas. He had the first 3 games on NES when he was younger and apparently 3 was his favourite. Real tempted to to emulate the original now and see how it compares in difficulty.
>>503450640Get a Steam deck instead. The Switch version runs terribly.
>>503445524I'm listing all the minimedal locations as I find them so I can look at a guide later and know which ones I've got. With the monsters you can look at the list by talking to Monty and cross reference it with a guide. One thing, though, is the names of the monsters are not based on the individual monster but the order you found them. To make up examples - these aren't the actual names - the first heal slime you find will always be called Bob, the second will be Kevin, etc. It makes it more complicated but you can still see how many of each type you have and narrow it down massively.
>>503445524Yes! When you make your wish try to highlight a choice that doesn’t seem to exist
>>503426007>Rousing Rings are only 6% Sleep resistance, Bell Talismans 5% Sleep resistanceI fucking knew it. The basic status resistance stuff seemed to make pretty much no difference.
As faithful as the 3make was to the original I’m pretty sure we’re not getting any additional party members in the remake of 2.I do think there’s a very real possibility we get to see little scenes of Alef and Gwaelin having cute adventures post DQ1 founding the various kingdoms. I also have this weird feeling it will end with a tease of 12, which will take place in the same world or on ‘not-Earth’.
>>503455572>using the adult form
>>503455572Good list. Some times I have less than pure thoughts about Broccoli though.
How do I get up here? I always seem to never end up there when I go through this area.
>>503457428Never mind, instantly found it after posting.
I beat Soul of Baramos and got through Zoma's Citadel up to the light waypoint last night ^.^I 'bout to beat it :3
Beat the final boss, solid remake. Draconian mode exhausted me though. Metal slime hunting is not a good time in this game man, thank god for monster tamer being broken
Rubiss...
You just know

What should I change classes to once I get to alltrades abbey?>Lone wolf hero (just listing him here cause of his personality and idk if I should change it)>Idealist monster wrangler>Klutz priest>Show-Off thief
>>503464791Thing with MW is that if you change them and don't change someone else into a MW, it's incredibly annoying to collect the monsters. You want to go north to the Tower of Transcendence to get the sage book, too. If you're going to reclass them a total of two times or more, you might want to hold onto the sage book for their final class, though. I had the same setup, different personalities, and I made the thief into a warrior to eventually be a MA. I turned my priest into a sage to eventually turn them into a mage because apparently they have better equipment options by the end. My MW is still that class, for the reasons I said I can't bear to change her by eventually I'll make her into a Gadabout for a certain skill, then maybe Sage.
>>503442396This, it only really matters if you're going full autism for Xenlon.
I've been playing Dragon Quest Heroes 2 over the weekend and I swear something must be wrong with me... You have pure sex fiends like Maya, Meena, and Desmedora but the only character I have eyes for is Maribel! Something about Maribel triggers my sexual urges like none other. I want to be childhood friends with Maribel, to be scolded and bullied, but when all is said and done she clearly loves ME more than anyone else. I want to marry Maribel! I want to adulate her and praise her and answer all her unreasonable requests! I want to see our kids grow up together so badly... I don't care about any of the other semen demons in the series like Type B-kun or Jessica or Moonbroke. I only have eyes for Maribel
>>503466173she is /dqg/'s queen after all
>>503455572they're all both cute and sexo for me
>>503443851What was Hargon thinking when he made her, anyway?
>>503466741She's such an evil little goblin but is exactly the kind of woman I want.
I thought you were all just being old fags about III but after playing the remake I get it now. I finally get it. Boss Troll sucks.
>>503468647If the goal was to trap the Builder in the dream world then she seems like the opposite of what you'd want, she'd be making me desperate to find a way back home ASAP.
>>503466173>Dragon Quest Heroes 2Why is this game never on sale.
>>503472634
>>503473037I am pure and chaste. I would never do such a thing.I am too lazy
So the game refers to "x attacks" and "x spells" where X is an element or just general magic. It also refers to "breath attacks". Are these three things all different or do they overlap? For example, is Inferno a "fire attack" and a "fire breath attack" at the same time?
Wait huh. Why the fuck is Soul of Baramos in the Tower of Rubiss
Hmm. Even in places where you can't do magic, you can actually cast spells by using an item. But you can't do Zoom by using a Chimaera Wing. Horii-dono?
>Enemy is called Dying Fire>It's actually weak to Fire BreathFuck this game.
>>503474156Gotta remind you who the real boss of the game is. Man every version of Baramos gave me trouble this time, Zoma was so fucking easy compared to any Baramos
>>503474414He wasn't too bad surprisingly. I sage is crazy high since she was a Fighter before so I was able to get insulate, magical barrier, and multiheal pretty much every turn. This guy though he doesn't seem to be the same Baramos. The name is soul but he refers to Baramos has an entirely different person.
>>503474368You can snuff out fire with fire
>>503474368It's called dying fire not living fire come on now anon it has dying and fire in the name
>>503474783That explains why firefighters use flamethrowers.
>>503474368You can't be serious. I was using boom for fucking nothing?
>>503474368Talk about fighting fire with fire
>>503475040They're weak to Flame Breath specifically, not Fire Spells.
Cantlin arena is hard.
>>503455572Terrible list
>>503475484Oh I get it. Because you're blowing out their candle. Silly squenix
>>503475643I agree, Stella should be in emergency rations
>>503475740a Stella is fine too
I'd really like to see more art of customized characters
Even fan art is switching to this now. I will never forgive the West.
>>503476243>giving her the smart scholar hat>rping her as a complete dumbass this is the way
>>503476891it was censored because they wanted a low rating in japan. japanese exclusive games have even had her censored before for years now.
>>503477424im all about that free the nipple man
Behoimi~
Man the early speed run strats are lame. Solo Hero until pyramid then grab two wranglers and a thief. Autosave scum early bosses. All done on Dragon difficulty.I hope to see autistic Draconian strats down the line. I don't speed run but I love seeing how they solve bosses underdeveloped in different games
starting to get sick about enemies surviving with literally 1 hp left
>>503476891You do realize their reasoning is BS right? They could have easily given this game a T in the west. No one under 13 is going to be playing this shit normally anyway.
I found the Tower of Rubiss not long after getting to Alefgard. It seemed important so I popped inside. The enemies weren't too bad so I made it all the way to the top - only for the Soul of Baramos to kill my MW on the first turn and leave two other characters on half health.

Does Baramos have infinite MP in the remake?
>>503478765The Problem is Ripper, dude is just an asshole fight and extra party members just complicate things when Solo Hero can exp hog and deal with the Sleep spamming bitches better than the help a party could give without having to do extra grinding for the split exp leveing

So how the fuck did Loto turn into Erdrick?
>>503496326character limit on gameboy
>>503496326Because Erdrick is what the original Dragon Warrior III localization Enix used back on the NES. It was only ever translated as Loto on GBC, and even that is incorrect because Loto/Roto is Engrish for Lot.
>>503496847That'd be Lotto.
>>503497205No.
How much damage does KaFrizzle do?
>>503497675"Lot" transliterated to Japanese characters would be ロットThe hero's name, ロト, transliterates to English as Roto/Loto.
These spell names are going to take a lot to getting used to.
>>503498827made me cry desu
F.I.C.K.O. peepul only!
>>503498362I could have sworn there was an interview or something where the biblical connection was explained. The Japanese aren't exactly consistent at translating loan words into their own writing system either. Regardless, it's Erdrick now, and if it were to ever be transliterated again, I'd prefer they keep it as Roto like all the Japanese material as opposed to the GBC's Loto.
>>503500006But where did they come up with "Erdrick"
>>503498827It's like when Gremio dies in Suikoden. He's eaten alive by flesh eating bugs and all that's left is his cloak. The MC, who's like family to him, just kneels down silently and holds his cloak, then lowers his head sadly. All sprites, no dialogue, but really powerful.
>>503500352I think some American with autism thought it sounded cool even though it sounds like a guy who's head of the chess club and collects train time tables.
>>503491168>Classes identical>Looks identical>Hair color identical>Only name difference is that Nia is Mia for meBrother?
Anyone have that comic that shows Erdrick asking Ruida he wants a party of all sexy gals?
Just finished writing up the profiles for my three parties members when I finally pick up the game after Christmas. Comes out to a bit over a page, will be waiting until I have the game and make the chars in game before posting them for those of you who like to see this shit.Does anyone have a full list of personalities for me to look at?I know I said I'd just give them whatever seeds and roll with it, but now that I have very clear, developed versions of the three girls in my head, I think I should pick fitting personalities based on the personality traits I listed for them. I realized after the fact I ended up making a tomboy harem, but idk if I'd actually use the Tomboy personality for any of them. The Warrior is prideful and competitive, with a thirst for adventure only matched by the Hero himself. The Thief is a lone wolf and a bit of a scamp, and the Monster Wrangler is a literal wild child who I realized partway through writing is strongly influenced by Ranka from Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
>>503501942looking forward to it bro
>>503501942>I realized after the fact I ended up making a tomboy haremAh, a fellow man of culture, I see.
>>503501942Determining personalities still works the same as it does in the SFC/GBC versions. Resilience is a new stat that governs defense, but some other translations used it for the stat that govers HP development (which is Stamina in this game). Rolling stat seeds on Stamina when old guides mentioned Resilience or Vitality should net you the same results as SFC/GBC. Damage formulas were also slightly tweaked and physical attackers need MP/Luck for Abilities/stabilizing damage ranges, so no stats are truly dump stats anymore. Try not to sabotage you team too much with bad personalities unless you want a harder time.
>>503501645no but let me recreate it for you bro
>>503501645https://exhentai.org/g/1365550/96b127ada4/
>>503483523She's a walking red flag though... I swear I normally have a soft spot for genuinely good hearted heroines!! I like my doormats who'd just stroke my head and call me a good boy. I'm Meena over Maya is what I mean. But as far as DQ girls go it's the Ginger Slag all day every day.
I just wanna play all of the Dragon Quest games now
So that guy in Kol that says he has something of Ortega's but now he's lost it. What's he talking about, I got all items in the town.
>>503505964diary
>>503506181Oh fuck, of course.
>>503500352They just made it up. Thought it sounded cool for an ancient legendary hero.
>>503500352From the same place Gwaelin comes from. Vaguely ye olde sounding names.The princess is just called Laura in Japan.
I think for the first time in any DQ I've played, and I've completed most of them and played all of them for at least a bit, I keep getting mini medal awards that are items I've already found. Are the sparkly points random? Maybe I've just been getting lucky.
Okay Morph is probably the most fun sage spell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vyeO6mdMWA
>>503502168Thanks!>>503502580Thanks for the chart! This was tough, I had like 5 or so options for the Warrior and the Thief that would fit their character. Settled on Show-Off for Warrior and Bat Out Of Hell for Thief. Monster Wrangler...I settled on Tear-Away since she's by far the most unladylike of the tomboy trio but I couldn't really find one that captured how loyal and protective she is of her "packmates".>>503503201Thanks for the nitty gritty info. Since you sound pretty knowledgeable about this stuff, could you please tell me, or direct me to a web page that tells me, how to get>a female Show-Off Warrior>a female Bat Out Of Hell Thief>a female Tear-Away Monster Wranglerin the remake?>Try not to sabotage you team too much with bad personalities unless you want a harder time.I plan on taking on all content in the remake on Draconian, so the toughest challenges around are in my future. Thinking of changing Thief to Gadabout then Sage and MW to MA eventually. I can easily seeing any and all of these personalities changing over the course of the game for RP reasons, but if these starting ones are too horrible, what are some that you'd recommend? Hopefully they fit in the 4 or so other options for each character that I passed on.>>503503626I'm not the requester, but this is amazing.
>>503505114She's just tsundere. Underneath that though she's very good hearted and sweet.I'll never forget the party chat in the flower town where she hints at wanting to settle down with the hero there.
>>503509178>sweet.Read that as "sweat", what has this general done to me?
>>503505114You're just subconsciously recognizing all of Maribel's "red flags" are just her being ultra turbo tsundere, trying to get the Hero's attention. She even basically admits in party chat that the armorer's son she was flirting with was just her trying to get the Hero jealous and finally make a move on her (and to get free clothes from the sucker because she can manipulative).
Just barely won rank 9 arena. I had one monster left with 82 hp. Fuck you, Monty. Eat shit.
I'm in Alefgard, where's the best place to grind? Isn't there some LMS area somewhere? Like an island or something?
Some people on 5ch are pretty salty Kandar isn't a party member. Did people really want that? How'd that have even worked?
>>503501942I also ended up coming up with clear characterization for my party and tried to pick fitting personalities, even if they're a bit detrimental (I generally tried to avoid the really bad ones, but I was not aware of how much Luck mattered now so my results were mixed). I'm not above changing the personalities if I feel like there's a reasonable idea for development, usually tied to vocation change. Like my Gadabout going from a spoilt brat to a genius after class change. It just unlocked her brain. I think of it as she not only becoming smarter but also more centered and serious as is the case with Sage, but I like to think she still pouts and throws little tantrums when things don't go her way, and still cares a lot about her appearance.In the same vein, I ended up changing my Heroine from Lone Wolf (the personality the test got me) to Good Egg because I envisioned the character as aloof but kind and so as she opens up to the party during the journey the kind part becomes more defining (Good Egg is a sort of shitty translation, the jp means "Kind Person"). She still acts aloof towards strangers.For completion's sake: Monster Wrangler is basically a shonen protagonist: dumb, eats a lot, wants to make friends and see the world. Her personality is Meathead but since she's also supposed to be lucky I gave her the Hen's tooth as soon as I found it. Thief is Vamp as she's the cool older sister of the party who sort of rears all these idiots in.
I don't like how the ship the guy gives you in Alefgard is the same exact ship as the one you get earlier. Breaks muh immersion.
is the game good?
>>503511123no its great
yeh
>>503510279Who the hell is Kandar
female lurkers add me up on disc : ozdebemespecially if you enjoy anime vidya lolis artistic creative hobbies pokemon fate digimon disgaea kemonos smt megaman sonic SMF animations castlevaniatouhou dragon quest monster hunter FU final fantasy bravely default fire emblem /m/ stuff DoA girls the rwby anime etc
>>503511123It's really good but due to the mind-rotting tedium of collecting all monsters, and weird positioning of when you unlock certain spells, I feel like I'd rather play SNES or GBC in the future. Great to play the first time but I think replays would drive me insane.
>>503509057thank you i charge two she-slimes per image
>>503511424He's the guy that used to bully Zoma at high school.
>>503510067The smaller island north of talontear tunnel
>>503509057>I plan on taking on all content in the remake on Draconian, so the toughest challenges around are in my futureDoes that include achievements? Because one of them is having Xenlon grant all the available wishes, which will require low turn counts. Anything with work for the main story (so long as your team has some semblance of synergy), but if you plan on doing quite literally everything, you're going to probably have to do a lot of postgame grinding regardless.
I'm glad I am unemployed right now. I might be able to play every DQ game before I get another job except 1 and 2 since I will wait for the remake.
>>503507446They keep mini medals and monsters for that matter in secret places but consequently the rate you get them at is totally fucked. It's maybe the worst executed part of the release, it's completely unrealistic to keep up with medals in a regular run
Thoughts on this balance patch the DQ modders are making.>Any class change required words of wisdom>only 4 words of wisdom available>Sages are a base class but learns spells 30% later then a mage or cleric would>No more shiny spots or seeds>Seeds are given as a one time reward per boss. one per stat.>No auto save>Zing spells only work in combat all other revivals must be at church or leaves>Personalities are all set to 100%.
Time to correct this bratty dragon.
>>503513320Sounds fucking cringe. Literally DQ3 : NoFun
>>503513320cant you already turn autosave off in the settings? i feel like they even mention it before starting the game
>>503513317I agree but in my case I've been obsessively using Nose For Treasure and getting all of them ASAP. It's hugely inflated my playtime but even with that, finding these items seems to come way before MM rewards after a certain point. The monster arena is part of it too - if you keep up with monsters *and* MMs, you'll be better geared from the arena than medals in cases where they overlap.
>>503513320Sounds boring
>>503513836No
>>503513836Not from what I can see. By the way, definitely make the minimap zoom out on the settings. So much better that way.
>>503513320What the fuck are those idiots doing
>>503513320DQ3 was designed around class changing
>>503512204Thanks
>>503513320Let's also make Zoom cost 50 MP and be only usable outdoors, and you don't get Evac until level 40.
>>503514574Also make every step a random encounter while you are at it ^_^
>>503513320>Sage learns spells even slowerYou're already beating the game before some classes learn their final ability this is the stupidest shit>need words of wisdom to change any classOk I was wrong, This is the stupidest shit
>>503515061Class changing is op anon. Every class can have spells!
>>503513320how about only 3 crits per battle? oh and kaclang can only be used 1 time per battle and you can only carry 3 healing items per character
>>503512645I don't think Switch has cheevos so I don't know what's involved with them, but I'd love to get all those wishes! I assumed you could only get one.>but if you plan on doing quite literally everything, you're going to probably have to do a lot of postgame grinding regardless.As long as it's a problem I can solve with grinding, I don't mind taking hours/days/weeks/months to do it.>>503510280Very nice bro, sounds like you've got it all figured out! I aspire to do even half as well.>>503513320Don't like it, not even I'm that masochistic.
Here's my mod. Female Loto can only recover MP by drinking cum.
>>503513320Other two I forgot to put>Class change is at level 40>Gadabout is made into a legit class
People always bitch about bullet sponges but desu stat buff + health increase is a much better approach to increase difficulty than taking away features. Imo taking fun shit away for difficulty is the bigger garbage.
>>503515424this is the worst mod of all time
I like the approach of the ai being smarter. Like how Baramos has different attacks on Draconian.
Dragon Quest a so fun and comfy ^.^I order charging pak to charge 3DS to hak it to play all DQ games :3
>>503513320>Personalities are all set to 100%.literally the only good thing of the bunch, and that's only as an alt choice and not in a "it's better than how it is in the game" way
>>503515738Baramos is already smarter ai than most, if he's out of MP or you have Bounce up he'll just beat your ass instead of wasting time casting Kaboom like a lot of enemies will without MP
III connections to XI:>Aliahan = Heliodor in the far future>Ortega is descended from Erdwin and Serenica>The platform that Ramia gets hatched on is the same as the one that used to make a bridge to Yggdrasil>Dragon Queen is descended from Yggdragon
>>503515461I did just remember how DQ 11 did Draconian with the toggles... I do think it's fun when it's a toggle but just across the board removing stuff on harder levels is lame to me.
>>503516339Maybe but it's also the exact same thing as removing the entire personality system. Though I wouldn't mind it if they made it like FFV and made classes determine stat growth instead.
>>503513320Need permadeath too for party members other than the hero.
>>503516636I like the idea but it seems like XI is a kind of soft reboot since in the secret ending the 3 mom has books that represent each previous DQ, as if they're fables in that world.
>>503517058i know, but i do get the view of "i want my toons to have this personality cause it's how they are in my headcanon but this personality has shit stats growth"another solution is having either books or personality changing accessories not change the personality but changing the stat growth, but again that's just if you really can't go by with either shit stats growth or party members having a different personality than what you envisioned, even though it literally doesn't change anything in game but that one line in the stats menuhell if anything the last point is what i'd want to be addressed, let personalities be more than stat growth
Who is /dqg/'s favorite initial main villain? Baramos, Ladja, Murdaw, Dhoul, or Mordegon?
>>503517337It happened so far in the past and time got so screwed up that it's more legend than reality. The story books are the "echoes of the elusive age".
>>503517912Dhoulmagus
>>503517912murdaw
>>503516636>Dragon Queen is descended from YggdragonDoesn't the Yggdragon plainly state that one day she will become the Dragonlord?
What's the "Aeris dies" moment of DQ?
>>503517912I don't particularly care about Mordegon but to his credit he actually fucked the true villain over until time travel shenanagins saved Calasmos.
>>503518608My wife Eliza getting killed off screen.
Why did they switch the bedrooms in your house from the NES DQ3 and later versions? A really weird thing to change.
>>503517912I like Dhoulmagus best cause you get to encounter him a few times before actually fighting him and you're constantly on his trail. Got the same kinda appeal as Sephiroth.
>>503518608Pankraz just standiing there letting them kill him
>>503518878>Got the same kinda appeal as Sephiroth.Yeah, I always thought that. And I like how the evil influence transfers to that dog and Jessica before the real final boss shows up.
>>503513320What is up with hard mode fags? All of this just makes the game a pain in the ass to play.
>>503519043I felt bad for that apprentice dude. Gets treated like shit by his mentor or w/e and gets beaten up by said dudes dog. Then he just gets fuckimg impaled by a staff What a shit life.
>>503518391Not quite that plainly, but she does state that even she might one day succumb to darkness. And it's something we actually did see over the course of the game already, when Mordegon took over. It's not a coincidence that his second form is Mordragon.
>>503517912Dhoulmagus. Incidentally Rhapthorne is my least favourite “true” villain.
>>503519328Sense of accomplishment and more involvement with the systems. That being said, I usually do one hard mode run of any games that give that option then every other subsequent run I do normal.
>>503519446Wasn't he just a piece of shit for his flashback cutscene in PS2 and 3DS turned it into a sob story?
>>503519759Yeah, agreed. He's just a massive fat red sky genie. As Anon said Dhoulmagus has a good build up, including killing Jessica's brother, which gives him even more of a Sephiroth feeling as he kills big titted party member's loved one. But then Rhapthorne is so underwhelming.
>>503519874I don't believe so. David just had a shit life and the dude he was a servant to treated him like shit and then he died.
>>503519874David? Absolutely not. He was a genuinely good person who had a shitty life and then got stabbed by a dog.
>>503517058>classes determine stat growth instead.They do already don't they? Isn't it class + personality?
>>503520340>>503520442Oh fuck, that guy. For some reason I thought you were talking about Dhoulmagus' past.Yeah David did literally nothing wrong and got the worst of it.
Beta males deserve to get stabbed by dogs.
>>503520482Yeah. Each class has a set stat growth which is then modified by the current personality.
I always found it funny that despite having a magic staff that could shoot beams the majority of the people Dhoul/Leopold/Rap killed was by impaling them.
>>503510279I wanted it, but only after some anon suggested it would be nice to have Kandar, Ortega, the pirate queen, and a few other notable characters as optional party members in the post game. Prior to that the thought of having named party members didn’t even occur to me. Now I’m a bit miffed it didn’t happen. Also pissed at the bullshitter who claimed there’d be a brief romantic scene between Loto and a randomized character of the opposite sex in your party.
It's a mess over there. I think he was right all along.
>>503521085>Also pissed at the bullshitter who claimed there’d be a brief romantic scene between Loto and a randomized character of the opposite sex in your party.Can you imagine the Western outage of that happening?>What! My character is gay! what the fuck is this?>Uh akctshully my char is enby intersex nonsexual suplex supreme and this ending SUCKS

So what the hell is the strategy to beat Xenlon in less turns? I can win consistently in around 30, but it feels like complete gambling whether Xenlon disrupts Wild Side or puts the wrong person to sleep.

>>503521796I grind DQ muted because I can't stand the runaway sound anymore.
I like the Owl noises at night.It's so fun when games do that.
Never gets old.
What's the XP spot in Alefgard?
>>503522179That’s why I like DQ4, the heroine resurrects her/their dead (female identifying) life partner who then uses her/their morphing abilities to temporarily grow a penis and impregnate her/them.

I just finished XI...am I understanding the ending right?When Serenica is sent back to the past, she and Erdwin manage to defeat calasmos themselves, and the timeline that XI happened in never came to be, except in serenica's memory which she puts in the storybook?
>>503525864God I wish I was Kiryl.
>>503526339choose a headcanon and make ebin oc
>>503524874me but with group of enemies that attack twice per turn
>>503526339but to answer more directly, i think since the timeline she departs from doesn't just disappear when you watch her shatter the orb, it's more of a parallel worlds shtick than timeline erasure, moreso because there aren't two erebuns when you do the same thing
So with one character I went Priest to Sage. I was going to end on Mage. But is there another class I could do first to get something good without levelling too much?

>>503529462Is the MW thing where you get two actions per turn based on monster count?
>>503529819Yeah I got it after getting 50 monsters.
>>503529819Wild side is a skill you get when you collect 50 monsters. Monster Pile on scales it's damage based on how many monsters you have. Used together is busted. Switch your MW to a fighter an go to town.

>>503537953the original draft was much sadder before they took the take the doll in place of crono. we were originally going to get crono back the night before the millennium fair and beat lavos, but they went with the death peak approach. now what's the death peak of the FFVII universe?
>>503539530>purple hairWarrior-chan won.
adventure of dai worth playing
Is it some kind of political commentary that the leader of Jipang ended up being a monster, forcing her people to sacrifice themselves for her? I’m kind of serious here. Hirohito was still alive, after all.
>>503486980They probably are, and im fairly sure that there is dialogue from an NPC somewhere that hints this tooButIts funnier for me to imagine Hargon specifically making a leetspeaking gyaru
>can't give Ortega's diary to your momFucking cringe, that said I like how this game fleshes him out more.
Why did everyone start wearing goggles in DA2 was it like a brief fashion in Alefgard
>>503540213No. It's the worst adaptation. If you want the gameplay itch do treasures or heroes. If you want the story read the Japanese comic.
What was the context of the whole Stannis thing again?
Even though it's a disappointing remake, I still spend five hours every day hunting stray metal monsters...could it be a great game?
>>503546737your heart speaks louder than your mind
so regarding the dragon queen, do you think hargon corrupts baby dragonlord, or does baby dragonlord grow dark and take the priest and his three underlings (whom i'm guessing are belial, pazuzu, and atlas) with him?
Is it bad if i get erect from Jessica's dying moan in DQ8?
>>503548398It makes you an bad arted man and an 'alf I'll tell you wot.
What's with people saying DQ music in general is bad? I get it if they're talking about just DQXI because the worst tracks are the ones you always hear, but I've never seen people talk shit about DQ music in general until XI came out.
>>503548778war-crime-denier man bad
>>503548778they think sugiyama is too japaneseplease try to understand
>>503548778They haven't played the other games. Pilchard Bay's bay music alone is better than many town theme's in other RPG's.
>>503548214Hargon raised him to dominate humankind rather than help them like his mother would've wanted.
>>503549249could make for a fun, lighthearted spin-off that ends in tragedy and betrayal
>>503549249>>503549512maybe even a karma system that affects light/dark tendencies like demon's souls did
>>503548778Notice how III didn't get those complaints and hit pieces? It was all just them hating on Sugiyama.
>>503548778They’re just repeating a meme they heard
Speaking of music what was the reason for the 3DS english versions of VII and VIII not having orchestrated music like their Japanese counterparts?
>>503549804III is all music from Sugiyama's prime
think ill do an all warrior run in december
Why did I pick Warrior...
>>503550169because you're a coomer. Also, should have named your other girl Freya, Terra, Rikku, or anything but....Yuna.
>>503550504yuna is a cute name
>>503550018And many comments have said all DQ music is bad.
How do you deal with sleep and fear in the bosses before Zoma?
Seriously bros, this game was good until I started getting sleeped and feared over and over by the late bosses
>>503552082You have items to deal with that. Key items. Read their descriptions.
>>503552082I'm struggling with having groups of five or six enemies with the ability to double attack
i got stuck on finding the lizard in ix for 1 hour
>>503551717A full party of vamps
Now this is podracing
Just beat 3HD.What the fuck do you mean that priest was Hargon? Was this always a thing or are they setting up to extend the story for 1+2?
>>503553606>Was this always a thingNo.>or are they setting up to extend the story for 1+2?Probably.
>>503553598Dafuq are those HP numbers
>>503550161BOBSTOTHEWALL
>>503554184I dunno, the max stats on level up code I found maxed out everything but stamina and resilience for some reason.
>>503554184HP don't matter if you're playing on Dracky
>>503553606DQ1 will most likely have a bunch of stuff added to make it more interesting
Is there more post-game content in the remake? Is there the GBC caves?
>>503554540It has the GBC content but no additional content beyond that.
>>503554617A shame, another post-game dungeon would,ve been nice.
If XIfags are crying about III they're going to hate I and II.
>>503554540It doesn't have the GBC extra dungeon, but it has its own extra dungeon unlocked the same way. Secret wish to Xelon.
drak x voluptua needs more art
>>503554335hotlebanese action
Last time I was unemployed I played Ni no KuniThis time I am playing Dragon Quest XII think I am developing a pattern
>>503552272>No it’s not just you. They buffed the shit out of him. Compared to the other versions they gave him 3x HP, 3 attacks per turn, auto-heal, and a bunch of new status effect attacks that he spams constantly and have a good chance of hitting even with preventative accessories equipped. yeah, other people are fucked by hydra too
>>503555410Oh King Hydra?= yeah. Get fucked.
>>503555852Yeeah, considering all thee complaining about King Hydra on Reddit, I think I'll move onto FF16 and wait to see if they nerf the game
Jade is literally perfect bros.
People got checked by King Hydra of all bosses? It's not like I had a super smooth run of the game, all versions of Baramos, King Troll and the Theddon battle all caught me, but King Hydra seemed to go down so fucking easily. I threw on asbestos before even fighting him since I saw him roast dad a moment ago and figured that'd be the damage type I'd have to deal with.
King Hydra isn’t even as hard as Baramos
>mfkers dont know kaclang 2 win
>>503557159You didn't beat the game
>>503557392zoma henchmen crying
>>503556731double paizuri by Jade and Jessica while Maribel licks the tip!
>>503556731She was ruined for me when I went to Briscoletti's Mansion in Tickington and did the marriage rehearsal with everyone...every single other party member was completely on board with becoming your wife, but she was seriously disturbed that you would want to marry your sister. I feel like that was her more canon reaction than the actual marriage ending you could choose with her so it tainted my image of her. I was brotherzoned
>>503557392There is no more legitimate strategy in Dragon Quest than kaclang abuse. It's something that outsiders from other franchises would never understand, the sheer power of doing nothing for multiple turn. To clear underlevelled on the back of kaclang is the truest proof that someone is a Dragon Quest player. A Drag Que-er for short.
there's a duplic hat in the mountain just east of persistence, as a sparkly spot.Should make baramos way easier for any chads using a caster.
>>503544769Stannis doesnt need context.It is context that has need of Stannis.
>>503556226>>503555410>>503555852You guys have so many tools to get by him though. Have everyone carry the status effect curing items. Make sure everyone has some agility to go first. Duplihat for the Sage. He's a cakewalk then.
i kaclang even when over leveled and rp the boss seething, i also walk around my room shit talking them
>Pit of GiagaTakes you from Overworld to Alefgard>Talontear TunnelPit takes you ??? it's where Zoma came from so what's down there? Hell?
>>503501405Super late response. Busy day. >MiaThat was originally going to be her name but some force compelled me to make it an N instead. We may be clones.
>>503557753She also has the least romantic of all marriage Tor dates.
I just dunno if the Serena I married is the same Serena I fell in love with man
>>503558340I thought this artwork of Maya was Nera from the thumbnail because I am inebriated, and for a moment I was so thrilled at the idea of seeing a piece of Nera art I hadn't seen before.
>>503558340I just grind in DQ games in general. I'm just autistic like that I guess. I grinded the fuck out of tablets in the 3DS DQVII to get the late game classes early, grinded out classes the moment I got to the first Level 99 cap area in DQVI, abused the camera trick in the 3DS DQVIII, etc. I just like shitting mid game bosses with endgame skills.
>>503559231>camera trickredpill me on this
damn I love dragon quest
>>503559734Overworld monsters despawn if they go off-camera. So you can camp a spawn point in a region where can encounter metal slimes and just keep turning the camera to spawn and despawn monsters until a metal slime spawns.
>>503559734In Trodian castle there's certain hallway where you can keep turning the camera back and forth to spawn/despawn enemies. You just keep doing it till you get a LMS spawn, fight it and kill it and then go back to the center of the hallway and rinse/repeat.
>>503557753because her whole arc is about you being the little brother she couldn't save, and won't fail again
Why do people dislike DQVI again? I haven't played through it in several years but I remember really enjoying it.
>>503563254Sad ending. They may tell you it’s the glacial pace or the lackluster story or that the class system feels half baked, but in reality it’s the bummer of an ending.
So in the end Arus just abandons his three wives and presumably knocks up some random bumpkin?I am livid.Fucking KNEW I should’ve picked Aileen.
>>503559919did i type this?
Okay, so the trick to beat Xenlon in 15 or less turns consistently without excessive grinding is to just have three users of Wild Side + Monster Pile-On (with as many monsters recruited as possible) plus one Hero spamming Kazap and using Omniheal as necessary.
>>503563254I don't remember much about it. Hell, now that I'm thinking about it I couldn't even tell you what the story was.
>>503565430He doesn't just remove the wild side?
>>503566161He can and will, but he doesn't disrupt enough for Wild Side not to be worth it. As one as you get to use Monster Pile-On once after applying Wild Side, you haven't wasted an action and any additional actions are a net positive.
>>503566384Huh. I remember the common Xenlon strategy back in the day as skipping set ups and spamming spells. I was planning my team next run around not bothering with that stuff but I guess I'll take a quick wild side detour.
>>503565430I just had two wranglers and set the game to auto and it won for me in 8 turns
>>503567385It's okay, li'l bro, you don't have to lie on the Internet to impress us.
Imagine IVs opening playing at your wedding
>>503567702>he isn’t a dracky chad
>>503558340extremely based
>>503563254not as good as the rest and kneecapped by Chrono Trigger
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhLf7Kbdy0sRagnars theme is so good *slurp*
Wait, that anon mentioning the friendless one a thread or two ago wasnt fucking with us? Based
>>503572575I wouldn't do that to you guys.
>>503548778Almost all of it sounds like orchestral hold music. There are exceptions but there's no actual emotion to most of it, it's just an arrangement of notes with nothing more to it. Also the fact they overuse and reuse it. Imagine if Aeris' theme played in every FF, in every town instead of being used at certain points in one game.
Say no to fiery girls.
>>503579573I cannot.
>>503579573Ashlynn, my beloved...
>>503579573impossible>>503580104based
>>503579573I would kill my entire country to be able to hold Jessica's hand.
Ortega’s son’s (female) mother deserved better. I hope that Xenlon wishes are canon. No reason they shouldn’t be considering they technically take place before you beat Zoma.
>>503580843Ortega's mom deserves to be creampied by Zoma.
>>503557753The only one you marry is Gemma it's the only one with a Toriyama drawn wedding photo on your wall.
Assuming Toriyama designed everything for XII already, when XIII comes out do you think people will be okay with the character designs? It'll feel weird to think they're pretending to be his designs bit clearly aren't.
>>50358162311 is pretty much peak graphics for his designs so they're gonna need to evolve them anyway and people will be pissed
>>503581623i have no shame in saying that losing Toriyama is a much bigger hit than losing Sugiyama
>>503579573Marry AshlynnBefriend JessicaIgnore Veronica Punch Maribel in the face
>>503582630Well done on coming out, Anon.
>>503581623They need to get Oda to be the character designer. If he survives the next few weeks, anyway.
They should get Charli xcx to do the music for XIII.
