Veronica also learns Wyrm Whip but I find most of her value lies in being a pure caster dps so I go Heavy Wands with her. Though depending how deep into the skill tree it is it may still be worth getting since you can swap weapons you're holding in battle.

Good evening.

I took Sylvando on a dual wielding detour and it didn't even slow his whip skills that much so I imagine she can duck into whips but yeah, I went heavy wands with her. Somebody has to cast spells.

Serena back on wands since Jade is best w/spears and I can't have 2 spear users due to autism

Lots of spears just means maximising the amount of dead metal slimes, you want to make your metal slime hunting as efficient as possible, don't you?

it is simply unacceptable to have party members using the same weapon type when there are enough different types to go around, it's true

It turns out there are like four good ways to wreck metal slimes because Dragon Quest XI lets you do whatever you want.

lol the only way Lufia 1 is even remotely playable these days is with a fast forward option in an emulator to speed up battles and the walking speed in dungeons, the encounter rate is fuckin insane

still much better than breath of fire

theres so many fundamental flaws that running at 60 is the last thing it needs, like they need to make a different game lol

absurd that the monster catch chance is 1% until you beat the area boss, which encourages you to run past and ignore everything and just fight the boss???? guys we have 30 years of pokemon and smt games there is a winning formula here

I played the 3DS remake of DQM2 back when the translation patch was released and it was pretty sick, definitely recommend it for anyone in the mood for some chill Dragon Quest monster catching. My endgame team had Hargon and Zoma in it, and I had just gotten a diamond slime. I should go back to it sometime and see if I can finish out the last 20% or whatever I had left of the acquired monster list

ran into like 6 metal king slimes trying to get the rare Metal Dragon monster to spawn over the course of an hour or so

why are the rarified versions of monsters more rare than metal slimes lol

Into Act 3 and I still play this like an old DQ game where you have to be outside for zoom to work, otherwise you'd smash your head into the ceiling

Protip you can use zoom wherever in DQXI

I'm considering whether I should work myself into a lather of hype based on the unsubstantiated rumor that the reason no localization was announced for Dragon Quest X Offline is because Nintendo of America will be publishing it

...but is it art?

wouldnt that make the english localization a Switch exclusive? skipping PC for the rest of the world would be weird, but Squenix does weird things sometimes so :shrug:

it's so hard to break the old habits, lol. it took me forever to break myself of trying to preserve MP like it's some precious resource out in the field. then i finally get used to, switch to ff7 rebirth and accidentally spend all my MP.
