She could've had a fun dynamic with Psaro if he wasn't silent for no reason. As it is I wonder why they even bothered.

I don't like it either but if a monster I like is naturally big I'd rather have it eat two slots than shrink it.
That said, in the DQM4 demo I gave my size seed to a gremlin and used it for all of my synthesis experimentation grinding, so maybe I'm getting over it.

Zing.
>>
>>581081385
i mean they literally just want the size slots removed as they feel it limits parties and prevents them from using all their favorites or having big goofy teams like in the first few games. they like the chaos of it i guess
>>
I think size slots should be removed cause no one uses large monsters. Them taking up space another monster could fit into just makes them far too situational to ever want to use or level up. Just make it so size slots are in pvp only to keep balance but in normal play you can have any team you want
>>
>>580970441
How's the camera in withered world? Does it make characters disappear like all recent Square slop games as well?
>>
>>581105484
I think they should just copy and paste Joker 3 mechanics instead
you get full monster customization (all four sizes with a point system for passive traits based on size)
normalfags get what they want (their team of small clowns) while real people can enjoy the incredible depth behind the insane customization
>>
>>581111462
Because the world rotates like in animal crossing you don’t see monsters vanish, it hides the pop in
>>
>>581111889
They could basically do that with the size seeds if they wanted
My main gripe with the larger size monsters is that even in the 3DS games there was little practical advantage to them versus just using two monsters until you were 80% through the main part of the game and could actually max out their skills, especially for the rare 3 slot monsters you could even get early.
Sure you can spend a hundred hours on the postgame but I can get where the complaints come from when the average player hits the credits and leaves
>>
Been seeing a lot of JP posts complaining about the state of DQ on Xitter lately. Obviously this is algorithmically influenced but I feel like for years JP posters have been pretty "it is what it is" about DQ. Interesting to see people bring up their issues with game quality and lack of news.
>>
>>581118067
That’s what happens when 7R is the worst remake we have gotten and Torneko gets raped with bugs and lack of quality
>>
>>581118067
we get a new game every 20 years now. with shorter releases you can forgive a bad game because the next one is right around the corner, but if it takes that long for a sequel its hard to stay invested on nostalgia alone.

There's not really that much sauce to work with when you can't equip any armor. It locks you out of accessories too, and means you'll just have to do a lot of power leveling for survivability or just always have amazing rng, and your ability to level will be capped if you have the other options on too, so you're eother going to stat seed grind for hours on end or just gonna be praying for rng most of the time. There's no shopping either, so gold basically is entirely useless, it will never be an exciting reward.

I'm sure its possible to beat the game, but like why even play it like this unless you're recording for a YouTube video? Its not even fun, its just masochistic view bait.

That's why by default it displays the options you have on at all times. The meme options are genuinely just streamerbait.

I did one big change after getting paladin and played mostly with the same vocations after that until I beat the story. But I also got half-inch from thief on everyone cause I liked doing alchemy.

>>581228098
Mhm. The only thing I can compare the system to is DQ3-HD-2D, although don't know if it is that similar after all.

I also heard that the main story isn't that difficult, so you could practically beat it using the same vocations from the beginning. Although I think I'm atleast slightly interested in the postgame.

Your last point is actually pretty cool, that you can do that, and then continue where you left off :o!

I guess it's the amount of options that is paralyzing, but I'll try not to overthink it too much..
>>
>>581224384
When every level starts only giving you 1 skill point (which happens like in the 20s I think)
Get used to leveling every vocation up to 20 purely to hoard the points and spend them in the vocations you actually want to use.
>>
>>581217138
It's still a little bit sluggish. Diagonals are better though, I was going to refund it but I'll hold off on a bit since they seem to want to try and fix the game.
>>
>>581233710 (Me)
Leveling up is just a bit faster but still takes longer than it should. I think the jingle should play with the EXP display, and resume control as soon as the level up text displays.
>>
>>581234386
I dunno why the jingle has to lock you in place at all
>>
Did a quick test with the Speedy Dungeon mod and it certainly is speedier, but also isn't a perfect solution, text can queue up to absurd amounts and if you hold attack instead of mashing against, for example, Drooling Ghoul groups it can fill up quick. A couple times I've defeated an enemy and picked an item up and had to sit and wait to see what I had acquired.

I feel the same at this point. I was already ambivalent when it came to Treasures, the HD2D remakes and DQM3, but DQ7R being headed by an ADHD addled fuck who blatantly had no appreciation for the original, and Horii just going along with all the changes gutting and dumbing down the game, was the icing on the cake. That, along with DQ12 being rebooted, has left my hopes with any future release in the franchise in the gutter.
On the plus side it's given me more chances to branch out more with other RPGs. I've gotten through most SaGa games during this time, and I've started to get into tactics/strategy RPGs recently. The way things are going I wouldn't be too bothered if DQ12 was the last one. DQ1-8 was a great enough run for the franchise as is.
>>
>>581257894
The original premise of DQ12 sounded like trash.
>>
>>581262495
I don't think we ever heard enough to even begin to guess what it would've been like. Obviously it probably wasn't turning out well if they started over from scratch, but I don't think the basic idea was inherently bad. After XI and especially after so many remakes and direct tie-in spinoffs, doing something different is definitely warranted.

Honestly, Dark Prince story is more flawed than i remember, thankfully i'm a gameplayfag so it doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game, but still.

>>
>>581385728
It's a cool idea executed about as badly as possible. There's really no way they could've told that story under the constraints of 1. DQM formula, 2. silent protagonist, and 3. micro budget. At least we got cutie Healie out of it.

Hello.
Newfag to Dragon Quest here.
I watched this video to see which version of DQ3 to play (I'm picking 3 because I like how the protagonist looks, and a lot of people say it's the best DQ game overall).
https://youtu.be/ZfyX-UcvnzI?si=HP8seCN-7Y4gRlAm
It seems like the best ports boil down to either:

A. the Super Famicom version (with a translation patch),
B. the Gameboy Color version, or
C. the HD2D Remake version.

The GBC's main advantage seems to be that it has a bonus dungeon and monster medal grind not available in any other version.
Is it actually worth playing the Gameboy Color version for this aforementioned dungeon that it adds? I like the idea of post-game content, but it really sucks that the GBC version has only white backgrounds for battle and loses all the colorful and detailed sprites and backgrounds of the SFC version.
Otherwise, it seems like the SFC version seems to be the one people loved and played the most. But it also has way less extra content and QOL than the HD2D Remake version (minus this weird thing where apparently the default battle speed for the HD2D Remake version is way slower than the SFC version?).
The only real downsides of the HD2D Remake version are the censorship and translation.
How bad is the censorship? Also, apparently the translation in the HD2D Remake follows the route of modern "localization" with lots of made-up shit. Is it still tolerable though or is it filled with obnoxious memes?
>>
>>581449608
the bonus dungeon is in the HD2D version too
also the "censorship" literally stops at the character select, where the game won't say "pick man or woman". Right after that though, like literally the next screen, the game will start saying man and woman just fine, even when they're talking about you (with some "They" mixed in when there's voice acting involved). And some designs are more covered up, but that's a mixed bag
localization wise, idk i think accents are funny but i don't play in english anyway, if you're playing on PC maybe there's a mod for that

at the end of the day no version i superior to the others, like objectively they all have stuff the other versions don't have
>>
>>581450392
>the bonus dungeon is in the HD2D version too
That's strange. The guy in the video says that the dungeon is unique to that version, and that the HD2D version gets a different type of dungeon. Or is he wrong?
If you're right, then I guess that means the GBC version is completely obsolete.
>>
>Start plating DQVI SFC with the new Pegazaru patch
>First encounter vs 4 slimes
>Trudge back home to heal after winning with 1HP left
Wtf, literally Dark Souls
>>
>>581452376
GBC version has a monster medal collecting thing with a bonus boss but it's a pain in the ass to actually do.
HD2D remake added monster wrangler and a monster arena instead.
Play the SNES or HD2D unless you need really specific gameboy nostalgia.
>>
>X
>>
I'm playing DQM3 and a boss completely wiped my team so I'm going to try to get some nice monsters. Thinking on a Slionheart and Krystalina along with my Overkilling Machine that I need to synthesize again since I went for the Uberkilling like a retard.
I also have a Spiked Hare that I'm using since it was one of my first synthesized monsters and apparently is pretty good? But what else would you guys recommend? Or is better to just defeat this boss so I can get to the upper echelons and try to get something stronger?
>>
>>581449608
Don’t remember any memes in hd2d, that’s not really a thing they put in dragon quest unless you count some of the things the fairy cunt from 9 says? I would say hd2d is the best version of 3 since it is the same game just with customization options for party members, a new class, great new renditions of the songs and some cutscenes but they aren’t major nor do they mess with the games flow. HD2D also has after game content it’s just different from the GBCs. Consider it a rework i guess? You also miss out on the game board thing you could find in the overworld that could get you items but all of those items are still available just via other methods now in 3hd2d. The censorship is literally just the warrior design which has been censored for the past 16 years or so, people acted like it was new because they never actually played the games before. You can hardly see the censorship anyway with the sprites because of how similar in color the cloth is to their skin, still wish it wasn’t there but it truly doesn’t matter.

At the end of the day your monsters' species don't really matter as long as you keep pumping those numbers up and feeding them big dick skills. I cleared 3 mostly with a party of Succubats.

>>581470705
even then i like the other censored Warrior design, black spats are hot
though i can't deny the "she wears absolutely nothing under her bikini armor" look is just as hot
>>
>>581452376
Anon is mistaken. HD2D and GBC have mutually exclusive bonus dungeons that are each unlocked in the same way and have the same boss at the end, but have completely different layouts aside from the entrance.
GBC has the Ice Cave, where progression is tied to Monster Medal collection.
HD2D has the Temple of Trials, where progression is tied to a variety of different things, such as being allowed to only use a particular weapon type in a room.
>>
>>581476118
Spats and shorts can be nice, but they look bad on the warrior design. Every attempt they've made to censor that one has been a different flavor of trash. HD-2D might be the least worst, but it's still bad.
For contrast, Red looks completely fine in shorts.

How are we feeling about the worst pvp game of all time coming back? Read they nerfed some sht like ultra crafty traits and Damsefly who must be L sized to get ultra crafty stunner. But on the other hand Great Sabrecub is untouch with UC stunner + stunning touch and collective punishment, hell they even buffed its max stats

>>581464529
Spiked Hare is broken (like a lot of things) in pvp where it hits all foes with a chance of sleep and confusion on each hit while also boosting the odds of said statuts
You can play whatever you want, just get big skills or big attack stat
>>
>>581441307
Wait, I thought she was a monster and the sexy demon bunny girl was her true form. Am I thinking of a different character?
>>
>>581476803
Game is crazy long, you're missing on extra stories but some people disliked them anyway
>>
>>581476803
You're basically fine playing the original. The story actually flows a little better without the extra shit they dumped in the middle. You'll be missing a couple of minor features they added, but it's nothing essential.
>>581477021
Lardass is Rin -> Marin, who has a monster form that's also a fat fuck
Her "sister" is Juliante, that's the bunny girl
>>
>>581476803
You bought the version with superior pacing but less bonus content.
Honestly for the best on a first playthrough imo

I think it comes down to three reasons:
>A lot of people are playing Dragon Quest 1 for the first time thanks to HD
>She is a genuinely likeable character
>She actually plays the part of a fantasy princess character, rather than having been transformed into some girlboss who don't need no man for the remake
The last is kind of refreshing, honestly.

doesn't look good honestly
they jist copy-pasted monsters from 3 meaning anything that was bad there will be just as bad here
I don't understand how the series having two of the best games in the genre just sitting there doesn't use them as a base instead of the one objectively inferior game

DQM4 has the Skill Library or they removed it too?

I don't really care about PvP. I guess I'll keep it and see what I can synthesize later

the game has a 3x speed option, a skip battle option that just does the spreadsheet math asap and mounts to move really fast around the map

is X a wow clone or does it play better?

also yeah sure translations are a thing, but what about private servers? Not like the game needs to be dead to have them, i remember 20ish years ago trying out wow and FFXI's private servers and the games were very much running officially

That's kind of what I mean, though. Not with Resonance so much because it's based on a gacha, but FF gets these retro style entries but nobody's brave enough to put a number on them. I'm saying Bravely Default should've just been called FFXV or whatever it would've been at the time.

The multiplayer/postgame shit is for a particular type of player, and they seem to like it a lot. The problem is the main game is pretty underwhelming by itself, so if you're not a superboss grind autist it can be kind of a letdown.

So I'm playing Dq7, and I'm a bit confused about something.
So when you get summoned to Estard Castle, Kiefer tells you that the ship they've been working on will never be seaworthy, prompting him to look around the Shrine of Mysteries, but when you finish the first island in the past and head into the tunnel where the ship is, its working just fine, and they fixed it?

Its like the first few steps you take when you go into the castle to see the king. Kiefer's standing against the wall next to the door and he goes over to you when he sees you enter.
Maybe he just wants to consider a different option at present, because the next thing he talks about is the book describing the shrine of Mysteries.

yeah, i was surprised to find that deborah really just can't get much in terms of resists, but it didn't end up mattering once i just got more active about tagging characters out to get healed by sage stone in the backline and making it into a battle of attrition, ended up being a pretty easy fight by that point.
my final thoughts on dq5 are that it's a great game, but on replay it's not quite as good imo. i'm glad to have tried out deborah and she of course had great dialogue but also geez, you get to use your wife for WAY less of the game than i remembered. the final boss was also pretty forgettable but pisaro is a pretty impossible act to follow up on. gonna do the postgame since i hear it's pretty brief, then take a break from dq before i go on to 6.
>>
>>582138805
It's definitely the kind of game that's fantastic on a first play but you really feel the flaws on a second run. Thanks for trying out Deb.
>spoiler
It's true, I'm always surprised. I don't know if I'd want to add more story events to pad it out since that might spoil the pace, but I wish the postgame was more substantial so you had more opportunity to have everyone together.
Good luck with the what postgame there actually is. There's barely anything to it but the boss is fairly tough.
>>
>>582140230
>I don't know if I'd want to add more story events to pad it out since that might spoil the pace
the main one that irked me was when you finally rescue your wife, it just fades to black and you're back in gotha, and then before anyone can even say anything, "prince albert" bursts into the room to beg you not to go try saving your mom instead of just letting that moment sit. i was like "dude come ON!"
the pacing overall is pretty good and the big moments are still great. it's still a genuinely really good game.
>>
>>582140713
Absolutely. I've picked up some gripes with it (mostly gameplay-related things that a remake would almost certainly improve but then it would also fuck up other stuff to drive me nuts), but it's still my personal favorite.
>>582138805
>before i go on to 6.
I missed that earlier. Have you played it before?

>>582143120
nope, i'm honestly pretty excited to try it out. i tend to like the odd ducks that everyone else likes a little less in franchises, but also definitely want a rest from dq for a bit hahah.
>>
>>582143831
Definitely fair. VI is a big jump in terms of length too.
I'm personally a big VI apologist, or at least I think its problems are heavily exaggerated. I'd probably still rank it toward the bottom of the series, but there's a substantial gulf between it and the ones I'd rank lower. It's pretty good.
>>
trying out DQ9 and man is it slow to start
>>
>>582144594
the main complaint i hear against 6 is that it "feels like a proto 7" but people complain about 7 too, so... who can say for sure, ha. i've been a "big dq fan" for a long time but though i'd tried most of the games i'd never beaten them, so this year i've played through 2, 3, 4, and now 5.

>>582145951
i remember getting tired of having to watch characters walk around on the battlefield. one of my favorite parts of dq is how snappy and fast the battles are.
>>
>>582146885
>"feels like a proto 7"
That's one I strongly disagree with. VII uses the same job system and that's basically it, and despite some improvements I think it's actually handled worse in VII because you get so few party members. They both have "two worlds" if you squint really hard, I guess. The end result is completely different, and I think VI is generally a lot better.
The complaints that it's meandering, unbalanced, the cast is a bit boring and the story doesn't quite fit together properly are more or less true. It's still very cool though, the only DQ that really has that "big meaty SNES RPG" feel to it.
>>
>>582148363
It's really much more than two worlds, because each tablet island is at a different point in the past, not that it matters much beyond a small handful of conjoined stories.
>>
>>582148363
i find that people are generally way too quick to call games "it's like x but more y" or things of that nature
>>
>>582146885
>the main complaint i hear against 6 is that it "feels like a proto 7" but people complain about 7 too, so
They have basically the same flaws but instead of being too fucking long 6 just has a bunch of shitty dialogue triggers to be allowed to progress even if you already figured out where to go, or people just getting lost between the two worlds until they give up and grab a guide.
>>
>>582150729
It's not like there's no basis for it. VI and VII were made by the same developer, have the same job system, the parallel worlds element does play into the town stories in a similar way sometimes. But when you zoom out the two games really aren't that much alike, they're structured very differently and have totally different priorities.
>>

You don't have to squint at all. The games are literally right next to each other and both have a present and dream/past variation on almost every town and dungeon, and on top of that they both use the exact same class system.

This gets less true later.

>At some point during the adventure, the Scout Run will open up at the paddock Witherwood. Here, you can encounter rare monsters not found in the wild, and they’re only recruitable with Quick Scouting! More monsters will appear as you progress through the story, so make sure you stop by regularly.
>When you enter the Scout Run, you’ll receive a quota of Scouty Snacks to use for Quick Scouting. Throw them at the monsters within the enclosure and see how many new friends you can make!
Similar idea anyway, with "safari balls" and everything

Why does Sir Mervyn come at level 19 without any vocation mastery? Like what happened for this supposed legendary hero to lose all his power?
And while I'm asking, what should i spec into first to bring him up to speed?
>>
>>582387504
I don't know about 7R but in older versions he's actually better as a spellcaster than a physical fighter, I usually just put him through the Maribel regimen.
>>
>>582369739
I like how 11 does it, just have closed maps but have them be really big. It has the feeling of an open world but with none of the technical baggage and emptyness
>>
>>582387747
I'm playing 7 on 3ds. Im having a lot of fun rn
>>
>>582387504
7's still long enough to actually get him into a decent job by the end at least.
>>582387747
He's got good MP but Wisdom doesn't do much for spells anyways, and the stat modifiers on the classes are big in those games so you can do whatever and he'll be fine. I think I beelined Paladin on him.
>>
>>582388404
Then yeah, he's technically more suited to being a spellcaster, and you'll probably want to have another one of those. Like >>582388932 said though, the characters' natural aptitude isn't that important and you can really do whatever.
>>582388384
I agree, but I wish XI had like twice as many maps. Especially when you have to go through the whole thing three times it really starts to feel too small.
>>
>>582389449
I wouldn't mind if it was more like an 'overworld' where there's one large continuous map but before you get flying there's some shortcuts like a tunnel skipping you over further than you actually went inside the cave to reach some other area.
>>
>>582390258
Something like that could work for sure.
To be honest, I really just want the wagon back, and in a better form than VIII where you just have to use your imagination while the Monty Python guy follows you with coconuts. I almost want XI-sized zones but on an old-fashioned overworld, with the wagon as the overworld avatar but also being summoned to the rest spots in the explorable maps or something.

>>
>>582391021
Horii said there's a lot of projects in parallel and they're just releasing them in the order of whatever they finish first
Square Enix has been porting every retro game they own to current platforms but old dragon quest games have been absent from this which makes me think they're trying not to eat into the sales of remakes
>hd-2d
The director of I+II was apprehensive when asked if there would be more HD-2D remakes so I think the erdrick trilogy will be the only ones done in that style
>>
>>582392034
I figure if FF Resonance does well they might be busy with an original FF again, they can probably put out like 5 HD2D games before Squeenix released a numbered FF again

As someone who's only played them casually and not gotten hung up on the details you're basically fine playing any of them from Joker onward (so anything on DS or 3DS). The GBC games, 1 especially, are really charming but also way more slow and basic.
The 3DS remakes of 1 and 2 are both good places to start, as long as you can put up with an iffy fan translation.

It's something that originated in Dragon Ball, and got carried over to Dragon Quest.
In Dragon Quest, it is both a lewd act as described in pic related, but also a long running gag, depending on the situation.

I love this game so much. Ruff is awesome.
Though, I have some questions. First, does the Chomp ability have something to it? because it looks to me like it does the same damage as a regular attack. In which case, what's the point, it costs 0 mp anyway.
And two, why does it take him so long to level up? The first three levels were easy to get, now he's level 4 with more experience than the other three had at that level and he's still not levelling up. Is this normal, because I wanna get Ruff up to speed with the rest quickly, I like the way his agility and strength are shaping up.
>>
>>582711597
In the original game is has a range of 80% to 120% of a normal attack.
In Reimagined it deals 150% of a normal attack, but now costs MP and can't crit.
But you're playing 3DS, where it does the exact same damage as a normal attack. POINTLESS.

>>
>>582724803
Hyrule Warriors was unusually good for a musou game and definitely the better one to actually play, but Heroes was pretty ambitious and did some interesting stuff. Heroes II was more of a lateral step but it had some cool ideas too. There was room for another one to be really good if they put the effort in.
>>
>>582724356
Which characters do you want playable?
>>
>>582724803
Heroes leans slightly more Action RPG than musou though you're still mowing down fodder. Closer to KT's old game Mystic Heroes which was a musou spinoff like maybe 50 people ever played.
>>

Assuming most of the previous characters were coming back, which probably wouldn't happen at this point: Cannock, Malroth (human), Borya, Debora, Ashlynn, Milly, Amos, Red, Hendrik, Serena (Act 2). It'd be nice to have some of the OCs back from 1 and 2 rather than forgetting they existed, maybe one each, even if I'm not a huge fan.
I'm also not crazy about Jade but it would be ridiculous to make a musou game and not include the Guan Yu woman. There's no way they wouldn't include Erik and Veronica too.

I think it'd serve you well to play the game at its intended speed. I burnt through pokemon games at 16x speed for ages and that's permanently poisoned how I interact with those games.

nta but Joker 1 and 2's battles are really slow even for a monster autism game. The whole wind up for scouting too.

I dont see how. Pokemon is ungodly slow, and basically mandates using fastforward. Without that I wouldn't be able to stay invested past the first gym.
Dragon Quest IX is another game that greatly benefits from using fastforward. Some games just really do need it, like, fuck, imagine if the default speed was all we had for the HD-2D games, they'd take a hundred hours each to finish.

its only slow if youre already used to speeding it up which is fair since most people emulate those games instead of paying full price for a physical copy
>>
I'm fighting Jarvis and his shadows and they just kill the Luminary before he has a chance to do anything
i guess you do gotta grind a bit with all these challenge modifiers
>>
>>582820657
>>582820978
Nah, it really is slow, its almost as bad as playing the DQ HD-2D games on default speed.
>>
>>582821239
nevermind i just pre pepped and let scorched earth do 90% of the damage
>>
>>582820657
The GameCube games are even worse with the attack animations feeling endless yet everybody praises them.
>>
>>582821239
I got forced into the 2D mode for tickington and holy hell all the soul is sucked out of this mode. Aren't these devs known for making topdown RPGs? You'd think the experience would carry over and not feel like an indie game. I hope this sidequest isnt obnoxious
>>
>>582830828
The Tickington stuff is almost totally optional and probably more than half of it isn't even accessible until the postgame. Not really worth the trouble unless you want to fight the giga superboss.
It's a shame 2D mode kind of sucks. The thing that really drives me crazy about it is (topical) the battle speed. There's no happy medium, you basically have no choice but to set it to button mash.
>>
>>582832241
I probably will fight the giga superboss, though I dunno exactly how long the game is, I'm here pretty much blind and the pacings been pretty good

Yes. Ruff's early levels do require more experience than Auster and Maribel and Kiefer, can confirm.

It's definitely a challenge, but it's weird that XI had this problem when VIII basically didn't by just making the hero expressive.

>>582856678
Ireburn is more expressive in the 3DS version. Dunno why they dropped the ball in HD.

3D anime faces are harder than face stickers
>>
>>582858646
No excuses.
>>
>>582856459
Funny enough I think final fantasy XIV solved this issue by introducing the protagonist as a blank slate who slowly gains their own identity through the experiences of the game. I think the average player would be accepting of the fact that the Luminary would have opinions on the absurdly drastic shit they do like essentially abandoning their own universe in order to achieve a golden route. They wouldn't even have to be that deep. Name it an absurd Idealism or a love for adventure that goes so deep, that more Adventures aren't even a consideration, it's an instinct. That would tie to the player well
>>
>>582858646
We should return to the advanced lost technology of face stickers
>>
Sylvando is....
>>
>>582859112
I agree but 3D anime faces have gotten a lot better since 11 came out too
>>
>>582833858
I feel like the further I get along the less options I have. Erik is basically useless under these challenge conditions unless I want to farm something. And usually I don't really have anything I want to farm, unless there's an enemy or two that drops ores I'm unaware of. this slayer of the sands fucker is so hard

>>
>>582884346
I find it interesting that in dragon quest games, higher tiers of spells are objectively better and more efficient than their lower tier counterparts. Usually there's some sort of tradeoff to keep something like Heal relevant, but not here. I dont dislike it at all its just a thing i noticed

can you even reach slime island right off the boat unlock?

Can't remember but i think the only thing unavailable was the tower of time inland sea?

its called Octagonia because its a fucking Octagon
>>
>>582953828
Yeah but I think that anon is running every Draconian restriction so getting there might be balls.
The south ocean itself should be good for grinding since you can just fight shit right outside of the aloha town
>>
can you still grind metal slimes with the reduced exp difficulty?
>>
>>582964814
I dunno they keep running away. I should learn that metal slime pep power but Hero spamming 220 damage great sword hits is doing a lot for me
>>
>>582964814
Yeah but you'll get capped off pretty quick except for the postgame glowy eye slimes.

So I was messing around with the debug room in DQ6 and it actually has some pretty raunchy shit in it
>girl asks if you want to "combine" (seemingly innocent at first), if it's okay to "drip" (most likely referring to pissing, probably right in front of you), or get "passed around" (まわす, gangrape, and this is when I realized the first one is actually referring to sex)
>another girl offers you raise your "flag" with her fingers if it's "itching" (she's not even the flag checker she just shows you the credits sequence)
Just thought this was funny. Now I'm convinced the devs probably joke about the holy water being girl piss.

I heard dq11 has a marriage system, I wonder if I can pick Veronica. She seems to be the only woman in the game with any sort of personality
>>
>>582985406
and failing that, Sylvando, because I like him now
>>
>>582985406

Is it worth it to do the casino for the big fancy sword they have? It looks like itll take hours to grind it up
>>
>>582985406
It's not really a "system", there's just a thing in the postgame where you do some fights and you get to make a wish, and you can choose to marry Gemma or "live with" any of the party members.
If you can stomach the Tickington stuff there's also a mock proposal scene in the DQ5 world where the characters have cute reactions.
For both, Serena's is the best.

1. Young Nera's animation where she peeks out from behind her dad is extremely cute
2. Honey having a special line for Stella is also cute
3. After getting used to her in DQM4 I forgot how deep grown-up Deb's voice is

I haven't checked 4chan in a slime's years
It warms my heart to see a /vg/ thread for DQ, even though I've probably missed dozens
The tourists infesting other communities (the various discords, reddit, etc) for DQ are... woo.

>>582990364
There's been a /dqg/ pretty consistently since XI's overseas release. Probably one of the slowest generals, especially for a living series, but we get by.

Later casino has better prizes and a faster game to grind it on
Though you can just savescum Poker until you have enough tokens to spam the slots in the early one.
