How does the PS2 version of DQV stack up to the DS remake and the original SFC release? I've been playing through the series and just beat IV on DS.
It's absolutely amazing. One of the few video game remakes that's actually good.
>>10852957Well the game had better graphics but is mostly the sane as sfc version the ds is better since had more added content along being able to have a party of 4 compared to thr party of 3 on sfc and ps2,add that you can chose among 3 girls to marry in the ds version made it a more definitive version.
>>10852961Oh nice, it does look great. Hows the translation patch
>>10853013I played the DS version and still chose Bianca because I wanted Super Saiyan Gohan, I mean, Rex/Perry, in my party.
>>10852957it's fucking garbage with low budget soulless chibi 3D models made for toddlersplay the DS version there is no DQ without 2D sprites
>>10852957It has everything the later DS version has except Debora. It all depends on whether you want it 3D or 2D.
>>10852957the most superior soundtrack. and music is very important to me especially in dragon quest
>>10853013The orchestral soundtrack alone makes it the best version.I can never go back after hearing the orchestrated battle theme.
>>10853729>The orchestral soundtrack alone makes it the best version.Overrated. Good music shines through no matter the format.
>>10853789>MIDIs are totally equivalent to the power given by a full orchestra presented in stereoThat's a massive fucking cope and you know it.
>>10853824To me, what matters is if's good and memorable enough that I can hum it myself from memory on a whim. The format is irrelevant.
>>10853729True, I didn't really care until I randomly heard the PS2 Ocean theme play on Youtube and I decided to finally recheck the game out after not being too impressed with the SFC version. The music among other things makes it an remarkable improvement over the original. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjhujWS73IQ
>>10852957Best PS2 DQ game
>>10853048Just play it in Japanese. You should know it by now since we've been telling you for decades to learn it.
>>10853729Midi is how you want it to sound like. This is midi you knowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPXGFBdPi9s&list=PL8DE8608A73C32CDDWith that said of course you're right the soundtrack is better than in the DS version, so is everything. I don't know how people put up with those versions.
>>10853013Only extra content is Debora and some new monsters, the PS2 already had 4 party members in battle.For me is the PS2 version simply because of the graphics, wish that the new DQ3 remake looked just like that.
The PS2 version is the best graphically and musically.But the DS version has Debora, who is the best girl. I wish the japs were more into romhacking, I'd love a definitive version of the PS2 version.
All versions are substantially different and good so I think it's best to play all of them anyway.I would start with the original, of course. Dragon Quest in 3D feels weird, when I think DQ, I think spritework.
>>10855264>Dragon Quest in 3D feels weirdHomo detected
>>10855310Hmmm honestly that model looks kinda off.
>>10855020>Debora best girlIf you are a cuck. Telling me you like Debora reveals way too much about your fetishes for me to respect you even slightly.
>>10855314cuz he's an emulater and didn't output it to a proper 4:3 and is instead using the internal aspect ratio which is a dumbdumb move
>>10855319I already explained it to you a thousand times... My game was widescreen, but old PCSX2 versions only wants to take screenshot at multiples of the native res (despite there being an option for "take screenshot for what you see", it didn't work). The screenshot isn't in the aspect ratio that I was playing it, it's just emulator fuckery
>>10855318Debora gives you the strongest children. You don't get cucked.
>>10854312We get it, you can read Japanese. You don't have to brag about it in every dq thread
>>10852957>Better sound mixing>Better presentation >Works well with widescreen hack and upscales well on emulators>Fan translation is pretty allright if you care about thatBeen having a good time with it. Once I saw how the DS dragon quests look I spring for this because presentation. The DS Dragon Quests look kinda ugly. If only they put in as much effort as IX
>>10854940The ps2 is the same as sfc faggot.The DS is the definitive version with more content.But you never played any of them so you don't know.
I thought I'd miss the sprites playing the ps2 version but the 3d monster models are so good. It's fun just watching them attack and stuff during battle.Also the orchestral battle theme makes me cum.
>>10855318Debora is so anticuck she literally the only one out of the three who becomes a femcel if you don't marry her. Nera/Flora marries the guy who already likes her and Bianca has "suitors" lined out the door.
>>10859030Look at those DS graphics. That shit looks ass. Compare the OSTs. The PS2 version has incredible reverb
>>10853013The DS version is pretty good, but it doesn't change that the marriage section of the game weirdly sucks.
PS2 3D characters looks like shit just soulless man
PS2 3D characters looks awesome just soulful man
>>10860557Cringe>>10860560Based
>>10858958Yes, I am better than you. Thank you for acknowledging my superiority.
>>10854312English and other European languages are far more immersive. The European fantasy setting clashes when you put the samurai rice language on it.
DS for Bianca
>>10861381? Don’t you mean Debora? Bianca is even in the SFC version’s boxart.
>>10861381Oh no no sorry my goddess I mean DeboraPlease punish me my Queen
bigger booba better genes
>>10861193>t.
i prefer DS version it haas the best wife.
>>10861193shut the fuck up dweeb, it's a hypothetical fantasy universe, logically, neither english nor japanese should exist. In reality they are probably speaking some fantasy language in-universe.
>>10861558The design of the world and characters is clearly European based though. That's why they do the accents.
>>10861381>>10861386I wish I didn't actively dislike all the marriage choices.
>>10863575>Burnout, Doormat, or BitchAgreed. I only picked Debora because I'm an item completionist and her starting Akillics weapon can only be obtained by marrying her.
Deborah is for pegging and/or cuckold fetishists. Not a good look to announce you picked her
>>10863648Fuck that bitch! I only did it for her weapon.
>>10863648bianca is the onee san cheating whore,just thinking "she alone with the rest of the party while you drive the carriage" tells you a lot specially after she dissapearing if you don't chose her (flora well you don't see her since she married and don't want to see MC)
>>10852957There's no such thing as a bad version of DQV, whichever one you pick you're in for a good time.
>>10864363all the games are good.
>>10859030You are being proven to be wrong in this fucking thread, so stfu you down syndrome retard.
>>10853789Nah, music sound better when its in it's original intended format. DQ music is always far better orchestrated as that is the format Sugiyama would write it for in the first place.Its like how the soundtrack for Megami Tensei II doesn't hit anywhere near as hard in a format other than the Famicom.
>>10865894the one proven wrong is you each time.the ps2 had dolby surround but not orchestra,even if that is your thing the DS has orchestra on music.you are just a fag zoomer that never got into playing other thing that draquest 8 for ps2.
>>10866032Its original intended format was fucking Super Famicom chiptune.
>>10866072No it wasn't. Sugiyama always made the music with the intent of performing it live and orchestrated later. Its a running trend with the entire series.
>>10866096What he wants to do later means nothing. He had to make it in chiptune first because it's what he had at the time. Once the technology got better, he could afford to do it the way he wanted out the gate, but until then, he made do and created powerful music that sounded great regardless of format. Which is why orchestrated DQ music does not impress me.
>>10866126Okay so you like music better when it's more technologically impressive?I much prefer hearing what the artist actual wanted me to hear in the first place.
>>10866126Were are you getting this from though? From all the DQ interviews I've seen, Sugiyama was never the one to actually transpose the music into game format. The programmers / sound programmers would do that.
>>10866065I know you have brain damage but at least you can count?>>10852961How many party members are there?Again only content the NDS version adds is Debora and some new monsters, also is the other way around with the music too.The only zoomer not playing the games is you.
>>10867218>How many party members are there?I think if you count all the monsters, there's like 30-40.
