Am I supposed to grind up a bunch of classes in DQ6? I just unlocked the system and I'm not sure if I should push to get the cross classes yet or just keep playing

Don't grind because if you outlevel an area by too much it stops counting towards your class progress.
Just plan what 2nd tier classes you want first and go straight for those.

>>576596306
Basically what anon said, plan ahead and don't grind if you can help it. Even without deliberately grinding it can be easy for a character to get stuck over the job XP threshold and make no progress for half the game (to me it always seems to happen to Carver).

i'm so close to the happy ending of dq4 that i can taste it. but evilpriest is kicking the living fuck out of me. i've only reached his final form (i think) once, and then he started shitting out 200+ damage attacks multiple times per turn. am i really just stuck grinding levels on kiryl until he's caught up since he's the only character in the party that can boost our defense?

>>576632734
I beat him with a party of Hero, Psaro, Kiryl and Meena. Having both Insulatle and Kabuff on hand is really useful.

>>576633928
yeah, that's probably what i'm gonna end up doing. sad to bench ragnar when he's been on my team since the moment i got him, but oh well. guess i'll grind kiryl up for a few hours and then try again.

>>576617445
7 3ds felt fucking awful to play... I always remember that underground segment before you unlock alltrades and what a drain it was. The dual boss you had to fight deals more damage than what you'd be dealing with for the next ten hours of gameplay for no good reason. I do think it's meant to be a lot easier if you grind up at the casino beforehand and go in with plenty of items but considering its the segment immediately before you unlock the class system and will want to avoid grinding its an utterly brutal segment.
That's something I really appreciated in 9. Nothing ever outstayed its welcome. Going from 7 to 9 was night and day. In 7 you're wandering around doing stupid fetch quests and talking to several people just to advance their questline whilst 9 you're in and out within the hour. No segment in 9 dragged on and you got a very fun story from each town.

>>576637673

well i did it. a bit embarrassing but i ended up looking what kiryl's best gear was and finding that i completely missed the hidden store in endor (took subpar notes during my playthrough of this game, d'oh). the ending itself didn't change much but i'm satisfied with the little bit of bonus, i think pisaro is definitely one of the more tragic villains of the series so it's nice that he got to have that going for him.
now i'm gonna replay 5, which i haven't played since it was new on the ds. still haven't decided if i'm gonna pick deborah or just do bianca again. i want to see something new with deborah, but the idea of leaving bianca alone and miserable for the rest of her life is too sad to me

>>576652394
the only thing i remember disliking about 9 is how slow the battle system was. i guess it's a bit overly linear too. but it's also been a long damn time hah

Congrats. I personally hate IV's postgame since the main game is paced so well and then it grinds to a halt, and I wish it just took place after instead of being an alternate ending, but the idea is sort of cool. One of those things I wouldn't mind if a remake substantially revised.
Bianca does OK if you don't marry her, she's still single but she's not really miserable, and her dad recovers anyway. Deb's worth a try, she's a lot of fun.

i wasnt around when the dq7 remake dropped. what's the verdict on it? i saw someone mention that it includes keifer rejoining the party but also cuts some stuff out? i never finished that game (got like 100 hours into the 3ds version) but now that it's out i'm gonna play either that or 3ds again once i get to it.
any thoughts?

>>576673162
It cut out a bunch of stuff. Several islands, a bunch of monster types, casinos, the immigrant town. The positives are that the battle and vocation systems are updated and... I guess there's voice acting? The Kiefer thing doesn't amount to much.
I personally hate how it looks too, but the 3DS version was already ugly. Overall it's a pretty bad remake and barely qualifies as "reimagined", but if you absolutely couldn't get through the older versions it is at least shorter. I'd recommend the PS1 version over either of the remakes, though.

>>576673797
are the battle/class upgrades pretty good? i think the main reason i fell off that game was just because the combat in general was so unbelievably easy on the 3ds version that by the time it stopped being linear i lost interest in figuring out where to go.
is the main advantage of ps1 just that it looks nicer if you prefer that era?

Does Monsters spoil dq6? I have the 3ds one and kinda want to to give it a try

>>576676407
>are the battle/class upgrades pretty good?
It's a decent improvement, yeah. Really the only place they took a real weakness of older versions and actually improved on it. The monster cuts do take away from it a bit, though.
>is the main advantage of ps1 just that it looks nicer if you prefer that era?
Mainly, but the classic overworld and random encounters also work a lot better for what the game is than the half-assed visible encounters in later versions.
>>576709183
Not really. There are a couple of scenes that are based on events from DQ6 but it's sort of an alternate take and doesn't get into much detail. If you have even a rough idea of what adult Terry is like there's nothing for it to spoil.

>>576676407
The main advantage of PS1 version is that you get the full uncut game. The visuals are meh at best, even for that era.

>>576713005
the 3DS version shortened the intro a bit but is otherwise the same right?

Someday I'll get an anon here to try the Shining games.
In the Darkness/the Holy Ark are dungeon crawlers with very DQ-like battle systems, the Force games are beginner-friendly TRPGs. All very soulful, they start with a strong DQ flavor but branch out and get weirder as they go.

>>576754672
Whilst I can see why the game is popular I found Shining Force to be painfully slow... I'm a big fire emblem guy so I thought it'd be right up my street

>>576755173
That never bothered me personally, I actually found it pretty breezy for such an old game, but SF is definitely the kind of series that's more appealing to casuals than big genre fans.

>>576752180
The last big rpg I played was Saga Emerald Beyond and I feel that could be a good trial. It's heavily gameplay focused and has a large set of worlds and you'll visit like four or five of them per character randomly. It does mean you need to replay each character's story a bunch of times and frankly the endings aren't worth the time but as an experience I thought it was brilliant, and that's one of the least popular Saga games.

>>576754358

I beat DQ1 for the first time (the remaster). It was quite good, like not even far off the later games. I'm sure that's also the remaster touching it up, but it felt more elaborate than many games with full parties. Also Gwaelin a best girl, true ride or die.

>>576844294
It's boys night

>>576850150
It's very different from older versions, to the point that you might find the original worth playing just to see how different it was. It's still quite fun despite being very basic. I liked the remake, but it probably didn't need to be quite so long or elaborate, and the balancing is pretty fucky in places. I definitely wouldn't play it on Draconian again.
>Also Gwaelin a best girl, true ride or die.
This was always true, but the remake did a really good job fleshing her out without trying to do some kind of insecure reinvention because damsels in distress aren't allowed anymore. Did you hold onto her as long as possible?

>>576852331
Yes, although I didn't know to get Sunstone before saving her, so Dragonlord was a 1v1. But I stretched out getting it until the very end.

When they finally remake DQ5 I kinda hope they'll rebalance the family somewhat. Make the kids play different based on their mum or something y'know? And also have some feature where you can have monsters maybe support your party or back you up somehow so you can utilise the taming system without sidelining your whole fucking family.

>>576868905
I'd expect the brides to be differentiated a lot more for sure. #1 on my wishlist is for Fiveo to get more healing/support options and Parry to lose Omniheal and get more offensive tools so the legendary hero doesn't spend the lategame as a healer.
The whole monster system could use a serious overhaul. At minimum Fiveo and maybe even Madchen should have some monster wrangler abilities, but they could even do something like a tension/pep/soup system that incorporates your monsters.

>DQX
just finished 1.0 and I'm doing some extra shit and leveling up. It's fun but maybe I can see why they didn't ever localize it. It was probably really annoying at launch and only got better with later stuff and smoothing things out
out of curiosity does anyone know if early vocations get outclassed by the "master" vocations or they're not the same?
like is Warrior always viable or is it outclassed by Guardian which requires Warrior and Paladin to unlock

i had hoped 3HD2D would give party members chat, that would work off their vocation+personality, something a game like miitopia did just fine, but they didn't. So yeah i wouldn't hope for much, especially since i think they also kinda fear the ghouls coming out of the woodwork that they dared change shit and that the game is not the exact 1:1 same so it's shit

For 3 and 9 I think there's an appeal to them not having dialogue for the party. It means you can give them personalities in your head like you're playing an old blobber or something.
Party Chat is best for games that do have defined characters but don't have enough cutscenes to develop them or give them much personality after their introduction

>>576907896
Definitely, but I also think recruitment should work more like classic DQM (still random, but with tiers of food you can use), and I wouldn't mind some changes to monster equipment as well. And of course they could always throw in some more monster types, especially if it's HD-2D where they've already shown they're willing to do that kind of thing.
>>576918370
I didn't expect or particularly want it in III but it's disappointing they didn't add it to II. Real missed opportunity.

I'm about 6 hours into DQMJ3 and I'm feeling kinda tepid on it so far. Everything just rolls over without much of a fight. Does the game eventually get tough or is this a "see how busted you can make your team" experience?

I'm about 6 hours into DQM(not J)3. I'm repeating my usual pattern of trying to get as far as possible before I start breeding so I have as many options as possible and decent enemies to level against, so even though the game is probably really easy my team feels weak as shit.
I usually don't play DQ with the battle speed turned up but it feels necessary in this game, the default speed is agonizing.

I kind of appreciate the audacity of trying to fit all this lore into a micro-budget DQM game, but it's just such a weird mishmash of staple Monsters goofball elements with this darker-ish take on DQ4 material. I know they basically had no choice but to do a real DQM after the Treasures debacle, but this stuff really would've worked better in a game that was designed from the ground up to be about Psaro.
