At this point I'm 6 stars into Champion. Champion has a character model that has a floating scroll behind my head help in place presumably by my sheer divine power. I've rebuilt the world. I killed satan and resurrected god. Almost every civilization in the world has a legend about me specifically. Just who do you think you're talking to little man. Peel your own drat potatos.

Oy I was so enthralled with DQ7 that I impulse purchased DQ8 for my phone. No voice acting and portrait mode only, touchscreen controls are awkward. Bad decision on my part.

Maybe if I look again I can find my ps2 copy....

It's... mildly strange how many people I've encountered in this game that were just peeing against a wall.

Two of those people I made urinate on themselves because apparently I surprised them.

Officially, yes. There are ways around it, all of which are annoying. Users of emulators and flash carts can load up save files that have already activated all of the internet content. I seem to recall it being possible to host a fake server that can unlock it, but may have imagined that.

Use a flash cart with cheats and just unlock it all.

You said not to say this earlier but I don't think this series is for you if you view talking to NPCs as a chore. It's kind of the primary means of exposition and you're meant to want to talk to everybody not to find the one trigger to advance and get this over and done with but to gleam the story of the area before, during and after your arrival. Complaining about copy-pasted models is another thing that's kind of at-odds with the series--it's like the menus where you're either charmed by them or absolutely hate them.

The back-tracking can be more of an annoyance due to the symbol encounters and holy water/similar effects wanting you to be over-leveled for them to work but that's also the sort of annoyance that isn't there as heavily when you're not playing 50+ hours in the span of a few days. Did you spend 70% of the last few days playing DQ7?

Bad dungeon design is going to be frustrating no matter how you pace your play though. That, party members abruptly leaving, and the bad class system were the big problems with the game. And one was fixed!

More importantly, Maribel's portrait owns and Gabo has a buddy now so this is a good remake imo

Loving the story and gameplay integration in this (what I assume is) final part of the game. I just feel like even if I was as vague as possible I'd still spoil it so I just won't say anything.

If you're less than 20, the slime tablet is a way to quickly level job levels. You can try using a Hatchet Man to take out a metal doll from the tablet DLC for levels, but that risks taking you out of the job level cap, so I'd not recommend it. The necessity of grinding depends a lot on your job and equipment set-up, but with a decent set-up shouldn't be needed at this point.

Level someone in Pirate or Paladin, both classes get Thin Air which is a very strong attack-all ability. Any encounters in the tablet dungeons at The Haven will get you job levels.

Do the tablet dungeons have level caps? Cause I hit 20 already just by beating the Alltrades story. And now I can't get job levels.

I've heard the received ones do but the created ones don't. Slime should cap at 20 but later ones have a higher cap. After 6th recruited tablet should not have a cap.

Ability bloat sure is a thing on my Gladiator. Like 3 pages of Offensive attacks that are all a variation of "hit hard". I wish they were a bit more transparent about what all the skills actually do. I mean, what is even the difference between Pressure Pointer, Flying Knee and Knuckle Sandwich?

That's weird, the other games are pretty detailed about Pressure Pointer at least (crap damage or instakill). Knuckle Sandwich is weird if it works like 6 since it's just straight up double damage in one hit (unlike stuff like Falcon Slash and Multifists which don't get nearly as much out of Oomph) but it can miss since its treated as a status ailment like Whack or Snooze.

I think Flying Knee does extra damage to enemies that are, well, flying. A lot of skills are crapshoots though. I wish they told me things like Stomp sometimes outright fails, or Harvest Moon does more damage against a single target as opposed to two, or maybe told me what spells/abilities using an item in-battle will give me before I spend inordinate amounts of money on buying it.

Where is the one after this? They are pointing me to town of ancestors of heroes and I'm not sure what that is. ugh these are going to get so much more annoying than fetch quests aren't there. Want to get Drake and Healslimes quickly as I'm on Alltrades finally.
