Off to a good start. Anyways, I assume this is what Vampire Survivors is like? But smaller scale, I guess. Seems like it might be fun but it chugs a bit on my (somewhat dated) phone.

Guys i'm so excited for the remakes. I am beyond excited they come out just after my birthday i'm gonna buy soda and play them all weekend

He's not going to drink ocean water. He's not Cesar Romero.

The artwork in the op is a Toriyama copycat right? If so he's not too bad.

>>542652601
There have been other artists doing supplementary and promotional art for a long time now. What I'm curious about is the Princess of Cannock's new design; since it seems like there were always plans to remake 1 & 2 after 3 (I think Horii mentioned that at the initial reveal 700 years ago), was that a design Toriyama himself did in advance?

>>542653513
I don't think they came up with the idea until after they were in mid development. The early trailers for 1&2 only feature the original 3 members.

>>542653513
His original design for her was as much of a stereotypical kid princess as it got. Pretty sure her new look is a recent development by one of his trained successors.

A wierd thing about Alefgard in DQ1 remake is the islands that were reached by boat in 3 are now connected to the landmass because there's no boat and then in 2 they revert back to their DQ3 state.

Do all of you are bald with gastrointestinal issues? Jeez

>>542680010
I'm feeling dread cause I know I won't be finished replaying VII before then, and I'm not sure how good of a stopping point I'll be at to leave the game for a month or two and be able to remember everything I need to.

how interesting is the story in I & II? I'm thinking about either starting VIII or waiting for the remakes release at the end of the month

>>542689797
>story
In DQ1 you rescue the princess and beat the Dragonlord. In DQ2 you meet up with your cousins and beat Hargon. That's pretty much it.
The remakes seem to be adding some more, but don't expect Xenogears. These games both originally came out before the first Final Fantasy.

>>542689797
They're as barebones as any RPG can get, though the new remakes promises to add a lot more meat to the story.

>>542690501
>>542690524
thx, I'll just play VIII first then

>>542684690
Not bald (yet) but I only have about a third of my large intestine left.

Smash/Grow has Smash/Grown on me. Excited for the upcoming end of service announcement.

I'm probably just going to use the "canon" names for the characters but maybe not for Princess of Moonbrooke since I don't like the name Peronel.

I usually think it's lame to let "canon" determine your choices in a game, but when it comes to names I usually just go with the official one if there's nothing else I can customize about the character. Unless it's Pokemon or something where even when it had set designs for the protagonists the character's name is more of a "team name" for multiplayer than anything.

>>542673271
How is Toriyama not falling off here?

>>542684690
I'm not bald, I'm baldING! Otherwise, yes.

You have to listen to me.
If there isn't an NES monster location, name table, and exp/gold rate that is EXACTLY the same as the NES Dragon Quest 1, then the game will suck.
I just played the mobile version and it seems like slop.
One shooting scorpions with sizz? Are you fucking kidding me? Where is the resource management?
I had enough gold walking around in the dark cave to buy a hand axe and rhe large shield. I didn't have to do 8 dives for it and flee from every monster on the 2md floor.
Please. PLEASE YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! THE NES VERSION IS MORE THAN "BABBYS FIRST RPG" I CAN SEE THE WAY! THE ZONES! THE WAY TO GRIND! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEE

did co-op until i got enough copies of the slime army memory to upgrade it to s-rank
thoughts on it so far are mixed. if everyone has a good connection and everything runs smooth it's good, because you can easily dodge the incoming aoe attacks and counter properly...
but if the connection is shit and everything lags, it's borderline unplayable. it just becomes attack and heal back up with the heal slime cdg heal

would probably also need a proper lobby system like in stars that allows you to kick people if they're underleveled or undergeared.

love that stamps are back, though, those were half the fun in stars' co-op

also i hope they make this (or at least +150%) the standard movement speed. this stage felt sooo good to play after the slogfest that were almost all the other stages.

also, when it comes to "generosity", the game hands you shittons of tickets and gems to roll shit on.
just the slime event alone handed me like 15 multis in tickets, then a couple more tickets from the tact-like battle pass, one extra infinity reroll ticket, and shittons of gems for another 5 multis or so, and there's still 13000 gems I can get from the cbt missions

the only worry is that they'll change this once the game is live. you'd just have to hope that the minimum amount of tickets they hand out is always 10, not 1, so you still get 1/10 of a multi per ticket package, like you used to get in tact.

what's also annoying is picrel
for the vocation skill trees you need s-rank memories, and you can only get these from ranking them up afaik
you need 3 copies of the same rank to rank them to the next higher rank (3xD -> C, 3x C -> B, 3xB -> A, 3xA -> S)
there's no speed up button, characters move super slow, and auto-battle sometimes just stops working, so if you want to max out the vocation skill trees, you have to play through these slow and longer stages over and over again
maybe skip tickets haven't been implemented yet and stuff, but this is too much. you'd have to spend weeks grinding that shit. they better start paying me to play to this if they want me to grind all day everyday just so i can level a vocation's skill tree

>>542734112
I was being 100% unironic.
After watching the glitchless speedrun strategy it's like DQ1 is a resource management game.
When I was a kid I never did the dark cave because I didn't understand the point. I knew the fighter's ring was in there but I also knew that all the monsters on the 2nd floor are hardcore. There's fucking wizards down there.
But now it's interesting. Diving for gold to upgrade my equipment and hoping for the death necklace to sell.
Fight the monsters on floor 1 for gold and exp and run from everything on the 2nd floor until level 7 and the large shield. Then you can fight skeletons and drolls.

I think so. I've only put a couple hours in, and the first chapter was a little braindead but the bit I've played after actually asks for you to pay attention. It's not a terribly complex game and once again I think it would have been WAY better as a full retail game, but it is what it is.

>>542774874
Will there be an option to turn off voices altogether? It feels so wrong having voice acting of any language in an intentional throwback game like this.

>>542777004
DQ3 allows you to turn the voices volume down to zero so I assume 1 & 2 have the same option.

i think so, but i also enjoyed heroes and infinity strash.
like in stars you have 3 blank slate characters you have to roll equipment for. in addition to equipment there are also memories that give extra stats and additional effects, like increased resistant or damage against certain elements or monster families. some high-tier ones also give you blessings or other gameplay changers, like the king slime memory that allows staff users to pierce enemies

the gameplay itself is pretty simple, you enter a stage, you defeat enemies, you get exp, fill the exp bar, and every time you fill the exp bar, you get a blessing, a buff that stays until the end of the stage.
some mobs use larger attacks that are a little harder to avoid, but they're shown in the typical red area danger zones like in any other action or MMO game.

here's some gameplay that shows me going through the flame shrine. shortened it a bit so it'd fit here, but you should get an idea how the game is from it.

>>542783440
why are you surgically avoiding picking up the drops

>>542785212
so far, you only have to pick them up manually in gauntlet mode
in any other mode you pick them up automatically once a battle is done

One of the main purposes of CBTs is to test server stress in a smaller environment, so if they can't handle co-op that well in the CBT then things don't bode well for the full release unless this does what it's supposed to do and gets them to actually improve things.

Is the DQXI timeline supposed to work like the wacky Zelda timeline?

>>542851003
Eleven got trapped in a corner of time and forgotten that was the price of going back. The Erdrick bloodline from 3 is probably descended from Erdwin and Serenica, Ortega's coronet is silver with a blue jewel just like Erdwin's.

>>542851003
Horii has said there's no split timeline in XI, for whatever that's worth. I think Serenica was only a spirit after being reverted to human form and she went back in time to reunite with Erdwin in the afterlife, which would also explain how Serena and Veronica even exist. The only comment any character makes is "I hope she finds him", no worries about causality or whatever.

Yggdragon's little speech to the hero wouldn't make much sense if III was a sequel to some alternate timeline he doesn't know anything about.
