Just finished up Pirate for Auster. And Monster Masher for Ruff. Halfway through Sage for Maribel. What should I go for next.I just finished wetlock. Should I go and get the carpet or go clear out the Wetlock tower in the present?

>>585048870"No."
>>585048870Is that toughie who hangs around outside her house her boyfriend?
What’s better for VIII on PS2, 4:3 or 16:9? Also, what’s the difference between full and 16:9 in the system configuration? It looks like it just gets rid of the borders in the menu.
I've been subject to a lot of Japanese discourse about the HD-2D remakes and I'm surprised at how much they seem to be disliked. I know 3 isn't as good as the SNES version, but I thought 1 and 2 were more than unique enough to stand alone as fun experiences.
Young Yangus English:https://buzzheavier.com/h3lvebjsv9mk
>>585057429A Shame. Overall, I really liked all 3, and had a really good time with all of them.
Them
>>585057429III is kind of whatever but I&II were a lot better than I was expecting. Not perfect, but they don't even register on the scale next to how fucked up 7R is.
>>585055639I don't like widescreen for 8 cause a lot of the menu art gets stretched on the international release
>>5850574292 HD is really good but its also hardly anything like the original at that pointDidn't play 1 HD, don't really feel like the game needed to be extended that much anyways
>>585049449"Yes">>585050139He wishes
Good news: They finally made Torneko speedy. Or at least speedier than before.
>>585057429Well 1 is a simple side grade with cringe oc shit thrown in and 2 has some of the worst dialogue the series has ever had and cutscenes every 15 minutes that are way too on the nose and in your face with what message they want you to walk away with. It’s forced shite and pissed me off the entire play through
I am going to redeem Meena and Maya.
>>585065973I'm glad they did more than just the first panic update. I'll probably pick it up when it goes on sale.
>>585058238Oh yeah, we're in.
I feel like they want you to use Swords in VIII and XI because they’re the iconic Hero weapon, but they fucked up and made all the sword abilities suck dick. Like Spears and Greatswords do something good in basically every situation, while Swords need a specific situation to do anything and are generally just boring to use. It’s not as bad in XI once you can do stuff like dual wield falcon blades, but it’s still a problem for a large chunk of the game.
>>585058238thanks, i tried it and man kid Red is a small breeze away from being completely naked, you can even see her, clearly defined, underboobsdare i say, based?
Another MD soon?
>>585096889Multithrust is way better than other shit you can get for Eighto that early but it doesn't keep up with the other characters attacks since the 4th hit is pretty unlikely to happen on a single target. Thunder Thrust is nice for metal slimes but not something you use much on bosses.Until we get another 8 rerelease with draconian mode it ends up being plenty since boss HP in 8 really can't keep up with the bullshit Tension lets you get away with.
I like the part where underboob kid says she only fucks fat guys
X
So is the Torneko game the only PS2 game that's left to translate?
Does tension only work on basic attacks and spells in 8? I tried using knuckle sandwich after building up tension but it just did normal damage.
>>585151708Its supposed to work with offensive skills too.
obviously we need another DQ3 remake
Dragon Quest 3imagined, the exact same game but without Lanson, Edina or the Immigrant Town.
>>585058238Is this the same as what's in this >>585009860 ?
ALIVE
>>585153574There's a few that aren't affected by it like Blow Kiss and Needle Rain but they do almost no damage anyways. Dunno if Knuckle Sandwich is one since I completely ignore everything from Fisticuffs besides Thin Air.Its possible he was hitting something with Strike resistance compared to damage to a non resistant enemy too
Hi
>>585177450tell that to page 10
Back from the store with an Yggdrasil leaf, I see
>>585128000I'm having a good time with it, having finished the main story of version 1. Dancer seems like a good all-round class if one is playing solo mostly, though I feel like I'm not doing much other than spamming poison/sleep > persecutter/victimizer. How does the combat evolve at higher levels?
I think the high encounter rate in 6 will be good when I unlock the job system.
I wish we get that art of alefgard book
>>585182976Look forward to at least one guy outleveling the job XP cap.>>585185026Cute chubby heroine.
Zing!
>>585183113Has anyone scanned it yet?
>>585164367The Buzzheavier upload works, the one in that particular internet archive post does not. They're completely different filesizes too, for whatever reason.
>>585193484When I tested the one from the other thread from that link on my steam deck it worked fine. I'll just keep whatever version cdromance uploads

>>585193484Are DQ4 and DQ8 connected?
>>585241013No. Torneko and Ragnar get cameos in the monster arena, but there's no actual story connection. I haven't started the MD game yet but I seem to recall it takes place in a different world like DQM and Treasures.
>>585241013DQ8's only real connection to the other games is through characters falling out of portals or hitching a ride on the godbird

How did Ashlynn get inside the tower?
>>585302787Don't worry about it.
Is DQ6 the only DQ to depict humans enslaving other humans?
>>585308159The guys who kidnap and sell Harry in V are human, if that counts. There's also Erik and Mia and the vikings in XI.
>>585308159It’s a very prominent plot point in V.
>>585310061V's monster-run cult with an ambiguous amount of monster involvement at the lower levels is pretty different from the totally mundane slavery in VI though.
>>585220769>Ashlynn in Debora’s clothesHOT
Just got a perfect 400x multiplier in DQVIII bingo. I am a fucking god amongst men.
400x Maribel multiplier
I've determined that Deb is going to be playable based on how her shitty preorder figure looks.
Torneko...
>>585339110Check the other systems, either way it isn't a surprise Torneko doesn't catch up in the west. Not that many people are all that familiar with Mystery Dungeon.
>>585342584I was just surprised it outsold ball in japan
>>585350305It's gotten bigger in the recent years but it still isn't as big. Could be a console thing too on Switch and Switch 2 in Japan EA Sports FC 27 is nowhere near Torneko.
>>585342584>Not that many people are all that familiar with Mystery Dungeon.they are, when it comes to pokémon
>>585331304imagine the smell
>>585220769>alena in maya's clothes>maribel in moonbrooke's clothesLord have mercy
>>585357548Yeah but even within the Pokémon fanbase it has a lot of detractors and they've never been critics' darlings either while people who tried Torneko, Shiren or other MDs generally loved them.
>>585369661idk i routinely see people hailing mystery dungeon explorers of the sky as one of the best ever, and i'm sure a good number of people that say this don't even know about torneko's or shiren
>>585369661>>585369836Most Pokemon fans are going to be interested in MD for the furry isekai angle and will just barely tolerate the gameplay, while anyone playing Torneko is probably at least familiar with older RPGs and Shiren is only going to appeal to people who really want to play that type of game. It's a different situation.
>>585370143Yes. I guess PMD doesn't really attract people deeper into MD like Torneko does.
>>585369661>>585370143>>585376509If you go to the mystery dungeon subreddit (yes I know) you'll see people ask "why is this here?" if someone posts about Shiren or Torneko lol.
DQX offline getting a western release ever?
>>585388607Feels like if they were ever going to do it it would've happened right away. You never know though, these days anything can happen.
>>585202415Very nice art.
>>585401346Lookin' lively!
>>585414530Urk...I got excited and thought it was maribel from the thumbnail...
I feel like the party chat in VI was really lacking compared to IV and V. Was this just poor writing or were the characters similarly flat in the Japanese version?
>>585422351I couldn't tell you which staff worked on what off hand, but it's worth keeping in mind that VI's party chat was all new for the DS version while IV's came from its PS1 remake and V's (besides Debora and stuff related to her) was from the PS2 version. VI is also longer, and it was localized by 8-4 instead of the usual suspects, which is why it's also way lighter on the accents, so that could be a factor.
>>585422351I actually happened to play through VI DS in Japanese not that long ago and yeah they're also boring there. It felt like having a whole party of Aira/Aishes if you're familiar with her party chats. Maybe Terry would have had some interesting things to say but he joins at the end of the fucking game.Also fun fact: the maid that gets framed for poisoning the dog had her named changed. It was Sandy in the SNES version but they changed it to Melanie because the fairy in IX is Sandy in JP and they didn't want overlap for some reason. They also changed the name of the town with the bazaar for some reason.
>>585426907>They also changed the name of the town with the bazaar for some reason.I think the official (?) explanation for that is that it was too similar to the hero's mom's name.
>>585427006>シエーナ (town)>シェーラ (mom)I can see it
>>585048870
>>585427949No.

Why is the running speed in 8 so fucking slow? I usually try to get as much dialogue as I can but it’s such a pain to walk around to everyone.

>>585454467That would be wild
>X
>>585454467Buff the boss HP and bring in most of the 3DS battle tweaks and I'd play it
>>585494509>and bring in most of the 3DS battle tweaksi mean it would be based on the 3DS version from the get go, on which to add the PS2 graphics and other shit. A toggle between random encounters and overworld monsters should also be possible for example, as with basically anything else

>>585508560Well at least emulation will get the next Kirby game running then if they've been able to decrypt shit, eventually. Thats like the last Nintendo exclusive series I still care about.
I'm playing DQ7 and I wondered, do they ever explain why you can't zing story characters etc back to life?
DraQue
>>585517780Your party has great things to achieve, so god allows you to resurrect, as its not your time yet. The same cannot be said for the NPCs.This is the logic for all DQs.
>>585539683NPCbros...
So spinoffs will be the way forward, right? It takes so long for mainline games to come out that we might actually see someone start 1st grade and graduate high school between DQ12 and 13.
Heroes 3 will save us
>>585550025What's that?
I never know who to use my stat seeds on so I just end up hoarding them all game. Sometimes I’ll go the whole game without using any of them. Anyone else do shit like this?
>>585571739same herethank god for Joker 3 Pro allowing you to duplicate seeds increments with rainbow fondudes to later pass down to other monsters
>>585506864>creator of stick run an heroes on twitchWhat?>miyamoto pro gen ai before dragon quest 12Yeah, I read the article, he didn't say that.
>>585578520>What?killed himself, more superficially set himself on fire
>>585508560>>585509553>>585514942It was a hoax in the sense that there's no emulator as people pressumed it meant that there's already an emulator
>>585578898yeah no shit, the thing just got hacked. But from what they're doing it looks like they have all the ingredients for an emulator to popup, and/or decomps of switch 2 games
>>585571739Nah, I just give them to whoever seems like they need it. Occasionally I'll save a few for a character I know I'm getting and I'm going to use a lot, like in V I hang on to a few for the wife since she kind of sucks and needs the help.I also never save and reload for max effect. Too boring.
>>585571739Same. I do it with stat boosters in other RPGs too.
>>585571739The lower level you use them at, the more multiplicative stats you get at a higher level. You need to spend them ASAP. Give them all to the hero if you have to.
>>585547607Correct, please be excited for the many upcoming mobile games being offloaded to third parties!
I'm doing the final dungeon, and pic related appears when you're waking the four spirits. Do any other vicious monsters spawn in the present overworld at this point?
>>585578520he wore his sissy panties poured gasoline all over himself and then set himself on fire >im glad the barrier to create games is gone now thanks to gen ai!is a pro gen ai statement and also retarded
>>585593516What do you mean by multiplicative? I thought the seeds just give you a flat boost to your stats.
>>585605794They are a flat boost. Anon must be thinking of a different series
>>585571739DQ3, all seeds to the HeroAny other game, split the rest evenly unless someone doesn't need the Strength or MP ones at all
I love him. He's finally here. Sir Mervyn...my heeeeeeeeeroooooooooo!!!He's so cool.You can take him to Dermot and he'll actaully recognize him, or take him to Pike and he'll try to get into Mervyns good books after blowing all his money on casino(Mervyn likes casino too), and there's a unique interaction if you bring him to King Donald and Princess Lisette as well. Like, the sequence has the guards block the stairs before you go to see them, that's how you know its something good.I am a little surprised that Pearl has nothing to say if you bring him home to Pilchard Bay, but maybe when Pollock gets back, he comes and goes as he likes.God, this game is just so good.

>>585595827I believe in Nera also known as Flora supremacy
Dragon Quest x Fortnite
>>585642334It should all be Nera
>>585632796When I played Chrono Trigger it had this frog knight character for one of your party members and acted a bit similar. In that game you can bring all your party members to meet your mom and they all comment on it. To see this on a grand scale with the whole world of characters, its just so fun to read.
>>585651224Have you played any of the other DQ games with party chat? VII gets big credit for doing it first, but it's arguably even better in IV and V in particular.
>>585651840I was taken aback when I played the PS2 version of V, accidentally hit talk and realized that the party chat has responses for nearly every random npc and not just big story events.
>>585651840I played 11
>>585642334Why is this game so rare?
>>585658740Nintendo published the DS ports because Squeenix was in their "we aren't going to localize anything that's not Final Fantasy" phase but they only did one print run of each game. So there's not a lot of physical copies around. Just emulate like everyone else.
>>585659034Somehow I can find more copies of 4 and 6.
>>585656563VIII and XI's thing is cute but it's not really the same. The remakes of IV, V and VI all borrow the system from VII.>>585659034Nintendo only started publishing DQ on their hardware after V. You can tell when they took over because the sword T in the logo was replaced with a plain T.
>>585658740>>585659034Is it? I remember finding it new under MSRP many years after it released. IX on the other hand...
>>585667267I got 9 too recently. Found 4,6 and 9 all this year.
>>585664267Pip? What're you doing here?
Is it just me or does this Metal Slime look a little funny?
>Young Yangus is in the special "vertical lines in PCSX2 if you render at higher than native res" clubI've tried all the basic things with no luck, so if anyone happens to know a trick I'd appreciate it. Playing at native wouldn't be the end of the world, but there's gotta be some other way.On a positive note, the translation seems coherent. Can't speak for the accuracy, obviously./
>>585675621I fiddled some more, and the magic setting was "show overscan". There's still an odd ghosting effect around the characters, but I can live with that for now.Really cute game. Tension seems to fit in MD really well, and the effect is great. Translation hasn't had a stroke yet.
>>585680349The way all your followers get in on the goofy fast-forward run animation is fun. Reminds me a little of the menus in DQM4.
>>585675621i fixed it by going>rendering -> enable manual hardware renderer fixes>new tabs show up, click on upscaling fixes -> align spritesand also fiddle with some of the other options there, should also fix the ghosting among other things you don't notice until you fiddle with the options

Why doesn’t Square Enix just steal the fan translation for X to localize the game on the cheap?
>>585758732Anything that isn't a quest cutscene still relies on MTL, and some of the scenes on top of that are very rough (the dancer quest line was very obviously just google translate'd with no further pass, for example). It wouldn't save them much effort compared to the totality of everything not translated

I'm not the biggest MD nerd so I can't give an educated opinion on how this stacks up to the other DQ ones, never mind stuff like Shiren, but I'm having a lot of fun. Only major complaint is that the companion monsters love to wander off, just like I remember from PMD. It got especially bad with a Feralball on the team, I think they deliberately freak out and move one tile backwards every so often, and mine wouldn't help me at all in a boss fight. Also: were ornery onions always zoom-spamming cowards in these games? I've played Torneko 1 and some of 2 and I don't remember that, but it's been a while.
I'm a bit confused here. So this is a line you can get if you talk to Sir Mervyn after talking to Captain Goodwinding in Faraday Castle in the past. How can Thaddeus be anything before Sir Mervyn, Mervyn himself is surprised by the existence of the automata, and i thought he was part of the Holy Order of the Almighty. Was this line misused, and it was meant for a different character, because it would have to refer to someone even older than Sir Mervyn.
also i finally found nava, shes resting on a bed in one of the rooms on the basement floor of alltrades abbeystill dont know if you can find zev or fingers after they leave
>>585782343I'm pretty sure "before" in this context means "in front of", he's just being a tiny bit poetic.
>>585784208Oh. In that case never mind, that makes sense, he arrives in the party too late to see the Captain in action. He does much the same when you talk to the princess and when she brings up Autonymus.Thank you, anon.

DQ but the (turn based) battles have you move your characters around the field, and the enemies move too of course. Kinda like FFT or fire emblem except without a grid (so like crpgs)
I'd just do a tactical RPG. Make it specifically a Shining Force ripoff rather than FFT or FE though

Not too bad. I just had Carver spam double up the entire fight.
>>585839564Didn't that actually happen with DQ7 and DQM1?
>>585772976I recruited an onion and it acts the same way. It's kind of neat that monsters have their own "personalities", but I'm not sure what the benefit would be. I guess it scouts out the dungeon independently and zoom keeps it from getting killed?I haven't found a secret Red side passage yet.

If I can’t go full hype moments and aura when I kill Doulmagus then why is it even in the game? I probably won’t even try it on bosses for the rest of the game because it’s just gonna negate all my other buffs too.
>>585880642Its a lot easier when you get the Timbrel of Tension after you have flyingBosses do spam chilling wave way too hard in 8 though. Even if Tension wasn't a thing its a bit excessive.
Turning warrior-chan into a dweeb vocation
I still haven't wiped out, but I had my first run where I really ate shit. Lost the scare root I recruited and barely evaced back to town. Pips in Young Yangus don't fuck around.
Zing...
>>585901101So determined...
Princessa is so CUTE!!
>>585880642Risk/reward. You don't have to go up to 100, it's not even guaranteed. 20 or 50 is still useful.
>>585819773So Quest 64?
Do you think Sofia's kids would turn out differently depending on what Eliza was morphed into
>>585927750Even 5 tension is good for multi hit attacks cause of how the damage formula worksAnd only like one NPC in the whole game mentions it but you do like half damage to undead unless you have tension, I didn't even catch on that it was a thing until I had replayed multiple times.

>>585941269give ogre gf
>>585927750I know, I just wanted to do the cool super saiyan thing when I killed doulmagus since it’s the climax of that whole arc in the story, but it seems like psyching up to 100 or casting oomph on more than two party members just causes him to instantly use chilling wave. Boosting the party’s agility might also cause it but idk. Evil Jessica also seemed to have the same trigger to use it instantly which makes sense considering they’re basically the same character in different bodies.
>>585927750tension is one of the best additions to turn-based combat but no one ever brings it up
>>585945830I didn’t even use it for most of my first playthrough. I don’t think I could call it one of the best additions if the game hardly ever pushes you to use it.
>>585945830I really don't get the hype. It's useful sometimes, but the same old tactics still work fine and are much more reliable. Pep might be semi-random but at least there's a tactical element to benching pepped characters and holding on to the buff vs. spending it on dual techs.I'm enjoying tension a lot more in Young Yangus actually, since it costs belly meter to charge and you lose it if you move but when everything has such low HP it can make a huge difference.
>>585945830I don't think its really implemented that interesting. Timbrel of Tension (and Morrie on 3DS, or any skill in DQs outside of 8 that lets you raise other characters tension or get it for free) makes it ass shatteringly overpowered.

Does anyone like 6?I like 6
>>586189184It's underrated.
>>586189184It's got a lot of cool ideas and I overall still like it quite a bit, but there's so many progression hurdles on a first playthrough that really make it rough. I do like some degree of open exploration but there's a few parts that feel like they're just poorly signposted. Getting the underwater boat in particular and asking you to scour the whole seabed for the key is one of my least favorite ones in the series.
What version of VI is better for a first playthrough? I heard there was some stuff like monster recruitment that got changed between the original and DS and there’s some debate about which is better.
>>586201458There are a couple of factors, leaving aside obvious stuff like the graphics.>The SFC version fan translation is still iffy (as far as I'm aware)>The SFC version has monster recruitment, but you have to have a character in the monster master class and the selection is smaller than in DQV. The DS version has a couple of slimes you can recruit instead. I'm not convinced anyone has ever used a monster besides Lizzie in any version of VI.>The DS version has party chat. It's not as good as IV or V's, but it has its moments. Particularly good with the optional characters Amos and Lizzie.>The DS version fixes an obvious plot hole from the original, but introduces some weird problems of its own with the party chat.>The DS version raised the vocation XP caps, but they're honestly still a little low. The smartphone version made them even higher.>The DS version makes Terry marginally more useful when you get him. It's still not enough.>The SFC version's soundtrack is particularly good. The DS version just doesn't have the same punch to it.I'd still say DS for convenience and party chat, but it was the first DQ remake where you'd really have to stop and think about it.
>>586202618>SpoilerIf one is ok with low drop rate grinding it's pretty fun to get a overkilling machine but that's about the only one before the post-game that offers anything more than what the humans will give you.
It’s called DRAGON Quest for a reason, ya know?
>>586206201Never played VI, but why'd you post a slime instead of a dragon then??? Shouldn't it be called Slime Quest?
Invisible Quest
>>586202618Is DS or smartphone better for that version?
>>586218420It doesn't matter that much. The DS -> smartphone ports have some small visual quirks that I personally hate, but the higher vocation XP caps are nice. It's not unusual at all for a character or two to end up stuck over the cap for hours in the DS version even if you're not trying to grind.
This guy was a son of a bitch. If I hadn't found a Decelerate staff on the way I don't think I could've done it.

>>586318727I don't disagree. It would've been nice if they'd made some improvements to the monster system in the DS version of V (since that game honestly needs help in that department too) and passed the changes on to VI. The slimes are very lame.

>>586361702To the ether Honestly, I'm not convinced it was ever real, like I'm 90% sure it was nipped during the planing phase
>>586363887i can see them saying that, seeing the reaction online wasn't positive and then changing their mind right away. Like i don't think the change to beyond dreams happened recently at all
What games are balanced so I can use the casino and not just trivialize the game? The first time I bothered with it was when I played V and I kinda regretted it because I just had the two strongest weapons in the game right from the start of act 2.
>>586375293The casino exists solely to trivialize the game. If you don't want to faceroll, skip the casino.
>>586377197No you don’t understand, I want to play the slots. And poker. And roulette. And bingo.

You’d think King Slime would be good in the monster arena since he has multiheal, but this selfish prick only wants to use it when he himself is on death’s door. He doesn’t give a shit about anyone else’s health and half the time he just gets killed before he can get his heal off since he only does it at low health and he’s slow as fuck. You’re off the fucking team, Hori. Better luck next time.

Whats the relation between the young royals of dq2? They call each other cousin, but the King of Midehall calls the other kings his cousins. They're not first cousins, I assume.
>>586686824Anything that's outside of your direct lineage or parent's siblings would be some kind of cousin, Given that DQ2 is 100 years after DQ1, it's pretty reasonable that Alef/Erdrick junior would be a great grandparent to the kings.

Is there any real benefit to investing in fisticuffs in VIII besides Thin Air and Magic Burst? It just seems like the worst attacking option for every party member and the only reason you’d want it is for those two skills.Also, why is Magic Burst in Fisticuffs and not Staves? That doesn’t make any sense.

>>586876674The agility boost can be quite good on whoever becomes your designated item user late game (it's gonna be Yangus), but otherwise the skills besides what you mention and the damage up skills still can't make up the difference in power lost from normal weapons.
>>586889583kinda feel like it would ruin the rest of the monsters games for you because no others have as much content
>>586888215Yes and Yes. God, this woman makes me go feral.
>>586876674>>586891942Evasion Up stacks with evasion gear so it's nice on Angelo lategame. Staves don't do shit for your spells so most turns he's better off empty handed.
>>586898132Angelo’s best evasion boosting armor is like 45-50 defense less than his best regular armors and doesn’t reduce elemental damage so I feel like the juice isn’t worth the squeeze on that gimmick, unless the evasion boosts are insane.

>>586919993
>>586919470Phantom Mask or whatever its called is Angelo's best hat and gives 25% evasionI think the Fisticuffs passive is also 25%? Not sure exactly if it stacks linearly but it sure feels like it. You don't need to put Dancer's Mail on top of that but 40 def won't save you from asshole bosses spamming desperate attacks anyways.But either way the dodge from the passive alone is good and Angelo's weapon skill trees do nothing for his damage so you might as well stay empty handed. Fights don't last long enough that the MP regen from maxed Staves is ever worth actually holding one either.
i want to steal ideas, how do you feel about the "vocation has multiple sublines you put points into" (DQ8, 9, monsters, etc)? I feel like that system works just fine, but also that it could be expanded somehow
>bashing my head against Demon-at-Arms >"maybe I should talk to the real world hero first..."
>>586941490hate it, it’s not as intuitive as the older way imo
>>586941490>but also that it could be expanded somehowLike the skill boards in 11?
>>586941490I like it in the context of IX, Monsters, Heroes 2, etc. where there are multiple classes and it's about investing so you can carry things over from one to another. In VIII and XI it's fine, but it can feel limiting until the lategame.

>>587068953From watching a bunch of nips play the demo, uoohs were very common at this part. Also nearly all of them knew who Debora was but somehow very few were aware that she's Flora's sister. Also most of them thought it was funny that Alcapa sounds like alpaca. Alpaca's Bianca.

>>587088103That’s what I’d want anyway desu. I want to play how the game was originally without a bunch of catch-up mechanics designed to rush you to version 10000 as quickly as possible.
>>587138431In terms of western accounts that give a shit about Dragon Quest, I think 693k and 160k is kinda insane. One of them has 41k and even that’s pretty big for this series.
>>587151254I guess the real question is if JP players feel like the game has been ruined in some way to warrant a reset in the first place.
Whoever came up with this haiku dialogue shit for japan inspired towns needs to kill themselves immediately. This is the most obnoxious shit.
>>587157014It doesn't need to be ruined, the game's ancient and they could call it a nostalgic experience or whatever.
>>587157014I thought the reason games like WoW did classic servers was because content from old expansions wasn’t accessible anymore. Can’t you do all the content from every expansion in X today? If that’s the case I’m not sure if they’ll ever have a good reason to go back to old versions.
>>587157794based
>>587181437I'm more familiar with Maplestory than WoW, and in Maple's case one of the updates changed the game so much it was considered ruined, which gave rise to private servers that simulated the game prior to that update.

>>587237908I can't wait for the HD-2D console remake of this in 6 years
>>587237908>iOS/AndroidYou have GOT to be shitting me.
Dragon Quest RPG? It'll never work.
>>587242039you rike?
>>587246385I like that shirtThat's pretty cool
>>587242039you're just not supposed to care anon, like the japs do
>>587237908>Planned for 2027>Square Enix + Wright Flyer StudioAlso, isn't Dragon Quest already an RPG?
>>587237908>a Dragon Quest RPGHOLY SHIT
What about Dragon Quest Kart Racer? Dragon Quest Fighting Game? Dragon Quest DDR?
Dragon Quest Eroge
>>587237908>green title
>>587241125We also got a Wendy's jrpg before GTA VI and DQXII, I'm gonna give it a go since it's free and looks like a funny lil game. Please attach a Korean waifu of your choice to this news.
>>587265830>Wright Flyer StudioGacha guaranteed, as expected for a DQ mobage.They're the Another Eden guys, so it might be decent.But then again, they're the Echoes of Mana guys too, and that dumpster fire crashed and burned in record time.
>>587265830>DeletedDid they accidentally leak it?
>have to learn falcon slash before you unlock armamentalist >most of the time, falcon slash is just better than flame/lightning/ice slashWhat a letdown. And while I'm bitching, double up is an absurd attack.
Is the extra chapter with Psaro in the ps1 version or just the DS/Mobile version?
>>587298997It's on PS1/DS/Mobile version
>>587296172protag rocking that early 00s haircut i see
>>587296824Nothing in 6 can really compete with Double Up. Insane that Carver gets it for free, early, and he has twice as much HP as everyone else so he doesn't have to give a shit about the downside.
>>587312874His name is Hassan, bro.
>>587296172
>half-life 2 episode 3 source code leaked before dragon quest 12
>anons arent HYPED for THE Dragon Quest RPG
>>587237908It will be like the OG pixel games, but you have to gacha party members, and there is a armor/weapons gachs, and a spells gacha.
Dragon Quest RPG? Yeah, I sure hope it is!
>>587328302I'm still annoyed that the copy enemies in V can't turn into human characters so there aren't front sprites for the brides and kids
>james gunn fired before dragon quest 12
>>587308806Why is Serena like 10 times more sexy than Maya here?
>>587329173Because she looks and is far more innocent.
Dragon Quest RTS
Who the hell is Annnabelle?
>He doesn't know about the beloved DQ character Annabelle
>>587321253
>>587340462Very limited interest in phone games but it's funny that this looks similar but superior to DQM3
>>587338384I mean, I don't. I don't think I've ever heard anyone bring her up until now
>>587296172>wright flyer studioSo switch version in a few years like another eden
>>587321253Better than the protagonist of XII
>>587329173What if she was a 20ft tall fat assed dragon?
>>587350721Without a dragon Serena to measure against it's hard to say.
>>587246385i miss this bold look of his
>>587340462Wow, Caravan Heart 2!
>>587340462So is it like a manline title but for mobile devices?
>>587365356I expected nothing, and I still feel let down. But I didn't see any stamina meters anywhere, so I'm intrigued
Yeah that sure looked like Dragon Quest (derogatory)Almost feels like this series has hit a point where you can ask an AI to generate a new game
>>587358278pretty much, Horii said it himself in his message about the game, basically "we made all kinds of shit with these gacha, now we just made a fucking normal ass game (on a budget)"imo the only bad thing so far is that it doesn't have a steam version
>>587367603is it really gonna be normal? for me the main draw back with the gacha games is how confusing it becomes to upgrade your character as you level up. SmashGrow had like 7 different menus you had to navigate with no clear indication of what was really necesary to help your characters strenght and defence. i searched many tutorials online and still ended up soft locked because i spent all the meme currency on the wrong items.
>>587370491normal in the sense it's walk around, turn based battles, etc. Obviously the gacha faggotry is gonna be there, but i usually just ignore all that shit and unga bunga my way through it. If the game really wants me to pay/minmax to progress then i just drop it
>>587370491it's probably going to be more like tact>summon on characters/monsters>they eventually become useless>have to summon for new monsters or you're unable to clear shit>base/free characters are useless or will become useless long term>never-ending treadmill of upgrading characters/monsters>bonus points if it has the pink gems again (like every dq gacha) and stamina
Gacha should be banned and all gacha devs should be forced to convert them into real games you can just play normally.

>>587345424I miss customizable heroes
Are Dragon Quest mobile games usually really predatory or nah? I never played Tact or anything like that but I’d be interested in trying as long it’s good for ftp players.
>>587384179The nature of the games being free to play means they need to be predatory on some level. That said, best I can tell most of that is directed at people who are willing to spend thousands on the game because in every single one I've played small purchases have been completely worthless. Tact was fine as a free player as long as you were willing to accept you wouldn't collect every monster. Smash/Grow tries really hard to railroad you into picking up the newest weapons as that week's content will be built around the new weapon's element/properties, but ultimately that only matters in the scorefagging mode. The real problem with these games is they get real repetitive after a while since they have to stretch themselves out over months/years to dripfeed content, so you'll either get bored and drop it or it'll abruptly hit end of service. No room for a satisfying ending.>>587373419This guy has the right idea though. Final Fantasy Resonance is fantastic.
>>587367603What are the chances it's the original 12 before they scrapped it?
>>587387395i'd say unlikely, but i suppose we can't really know either way given they're the only ones that ever saw what the fuck "dragon quest for adults" was
Man, why'd it have to be a gacha....Like Another Eden or Octopath Traveler CotC, it looks to be an actual game where you can walk around the world and such, rather than just a collection of menus and battle/summon screens like many other rpg mobage.Probably gonna wait and see if it gets turned into a proper game like FFR, OT0 or Another Eden Begins (the latter done by the same studio as DQRPG), though that typically takes at least 3+ years.
>>587388809Another Eden Begins is a spinoff and Echoes of Mana is still dead and buried though
>>587397053>Another Eden Begins is a spinoffOh shit, really? I thought it was like FFR and OT0
So I’m thinking of trying out this franchise with the new Monster Hunting game coming in December for Christmas . I usually enjoy Japanese RPGs on my Switch—now Switch 2—and I’ve heard a lot about Dragon Quest. This might be my first time playing it. I tried the demo with the two girls helping their respective dads, and since I like monster-catching games in general, I’m wondering if this would be a good starting point. I don’t have many other games planned for December, so this seems like a perfect opportunity.
>>587406045This one looks like it'll be better than the dark prince which is the only other one on the switch if that's the only platform. Would recommend playing a mainlike game like XI or III (HD-2D) though
>>587406725Do you have a like trailer for those games from YouTube I can look at I'm not good at looking up games from names like those.
>>587406848https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgfOu4dEIDwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dwFNq06bQk
>>587405393It's a spinoff because it's an Alternate Universe story than a port
>>587406045What you see is probably what you'll get with the new DQM. If you like the demo, you'll probably like the full thing. It's unlikely to measure up to the 3DS games in terms of the stuff big Monsters fans care about, but it's a lot better than the last one.The girls are characters from Dragon Quest V (it's common for DQ spinoffs to star kid versions of characters from the main games), so if you like the new DQM you might want to give that a try. Or the other way around, you could play it beforehand as prep. The older main series games are all fairly short.
>pillsbury doughboy voice actor dead before dragon quest 12
>haven't played the dark prince in a year or more>game is on sale for 8 dollars (deluxe)>that one contains the red burgundy vestmentnot sure if i should buy it digitally for the coat or just ignore it since i have it physically
>>587411887F
>>587412845I wouldn't buy it twice, even to upgrade from Switch to PC.
>>587237908Are you applying to the beta test?
>>587420448Don't tell them you played 10 they'll drone strike your house
>>587237908This is the first DQ mobile game that actually interests me. I'll give it a shot.
Small screenshot on the website shows a playable girl that wasn't in the trailer
>>587420448Why are I to VIII all grouped together, but IX (a 17 years old game that has never received a port or remake) separated? What means?
>>587424915Precisely for that reason, every game between I and VIII has gotten a port/remaster/remake/whatever but not IX.
>>587424915More relevant to a mobile game, I guess.
>>587424915I to VIII have iOS/Android version although iOS/Android version of VII is JP only for some reason
I take it smash/grow isn’t doing well and this is the third DQ mobile game I assume? Some of the locations look like references to past games.
>XII, 2D-HD and VII Reimagined all look completely different from each other and the rest of the series>Cursed Tree actually looks like Toriyama art
>>587432483>third
>>587439341It's a shame they didn't go global with Champions, I wanted to try it just to see how it worked.
>>587439341I still wish we got Keshikeshi like we were supposed to, a puzzle game is the only thing I might have actually played on my phone.
>>587439341I cannot fathom why people still bother with mobile shit, spending all that time and money on a game that eventually gets shut down. There are 40+ years of real, actual games you can play and beat instead of bothering with predatory shit for fucks sake
>>587441086
>>587439341>Tact 6 years (ongoing)>(ongoing)Never gonna forgive the Japanese
Finally got my next team ready. All the scouting and fusing took me ten days realtime. (A significant chunk was making a Juggerwroth to get the "Super Resist Ward" trait that lowers all the enemy's resists.) Once I unlock the last fusion upgrade I'll be able to make them even stronger...
>>587442234>food analogy
Maya is the whale who gamblesSerena is the whale who eats
>>587442234Of course she'd say that she voices a gorillion gacha characters, a good chunk of her income is probably straight from whales pockets
>Joe Biden milked before DQ12
I really don't want to know what the previous post is talking about.
>>587456887Sounds pretty self-explanatory.
I'd play a gacha where you milk Jess
