this char is good
Got beat bad by the desert boss so I spent about an hour grinding and got intermediate jobs, went back and destroyed him easily. I almost miss how much you had to grind in the original game, this is the first time it scratched that itch for me... Got a Gladiator, a Sage and a Monster Masher and it's going very well!

I feel like I'm missing something. I just saved the desert island, went back to the past, got the red fragment, but I'm still short a yellow fragment to complete what I assume is the next pedestal I'm meant to visit. I've visited the ridiculous French accent island and done the whole carpet fakeout as well. But I'm going in circles now, and the next tablet option says there aren't any in currently accessible locations. What gives?

If the game is telling you you found everything, have you tried putting in every fragment you have in all the pedestals? The next island is Gröndal, maybe someone else can check what color that is since I'm in the ending.

No I'm an idiot. I just looked at the pedestal and realized it wanted 3 fragments not 4.

the random encounters DO get harder(there's an especially big jump during the last dungeon) but the game isn't very hard overall due to the job system. It actually used to be MORE exploitable, the psx version let you keep any skills from intermediate/advanced jobs. Though DQ in general isn't that difficult a series, 8 was the real outlier there because the tension system added a ton of strategy.

Also 2 where the 2nd prince had like 3 hp and died to a stiff breeze.

I felt like 6 was really hard compared to other dragon quests since the enemies had no problems using all the busted skills you had and was generally balanced around having two healbots for out of battle healing. But it feels like vocations were given way better skills than they should have to make up for not keeping their skills, like how paladin gets Multiheal and gladiators can oomph themselves.

its true you dont really have to think about what class you want people to be in for a boss fight or anything, since most classes can do just about everything to some extent. the champion class is just ridiculous as well. i cant see how hero can possibly add anything to that

Hero is basically some good poo poo from literally every advanced vocation, along with the Zap spells and Omniheal. Champion has better strength and their last skill works on metal enemies but I'm cool with hero as a reward for all that leveling, plus it might be better than Druid for Maribel since it gives HP regen and a lot of spells.

in the middle of a dungeon and two different characters maxed out their jobs, its so tempting to just leave, switch jobs, and redo the dungeon
