The npcs you start with in ch.4 just don't cook. They have other jobs they want to do and even if they can't do them they still won't cook for you.

GAMERDOME put down LOSER
I appreciate the Alltrades Abbey part in 7 wanting to put the odds against you but the actual fight with Rashes and Stripes is bullshit.

I somehow won on the second attempt, even though it felt like I did twice the damage the first time.

I was checking the roster for Heroes 2 and it looks like they don't have anyone from V now, drat.

Gimme Deborah and/or the kids, Pankraz would also a totally acceptable overpowered option.

Does anyone know if the DS DQVIII will have the voices and music? I only had VIII for a little bit before I had to sell everything for emergency funds, but I quite liked it, and I'd like to give it another go.

It will have the english voiceovers with a casting change for Jessica (not sure why) but we lose out on the symphonic soundtrack unfortunately.

That's.... less terrible? That we'll still get the voices, anyway. Those were a big chunk of the charm, I thought.

There's a fragment I can't find in present day Grand Conjuratoirum. I just got Aishe and this is the last fragment I need to proceed to the next island

I'm guessing I have to go down those stairs surrounded by water but I don't know how to get across it

I had the exact opposite experience. I think you guys just didn't build kitchens and threw a cookfire down near a chest and expected results.

Oh, I haven't done that either. I know the chest you're talking about though

E: ok I got it. I got the hint from the wizard guy before to enter by the statue but I didn't know where to use this knowledge.

Ha, my wife had this exact problem last night. Enter by the statue, make a cross shape and exit at the bottom, bada bing.

But still pretty terrible. I wouldn't recommend anyone playing a DQ8 version without the orchestrated soundtrack. What I saw of the DS version on youtube sounded really bad in comparison.

I know keeping things old school is the Dragon Quest way and all but I'm still surprised about how low quality the chip tunes or whatever the gently caress they're called they used, the music doesn't even sound as good as the DS remakes IIRC. I think the quality is a bit better than the original PS2 Japanese music (which was awful imo) but gently caress me, it still hasn't improved much

Which version would be best? I don't have a PS2 anymore, so it's either mobile or 3DS at this point.

if ps2 isn't an option, 3ds all the way. mobile lacks both voice acting and the good music.

Mobile DQ8 is the only port in the series that ended up worse than the original. It has pretty bad framerate issues that are independent of the power of the device, and the forced portrait orientation diminishes the best-looking part, the landscapes.

Real hurthling!

from DQH2? new roster for new game. maybe couldn't get/afford for all voice actors to return plus new ones. could be a lot of reasons.

I went and did some digging, according to this article every character from the first DQH will be free dlc for multiplayer, but won't be in the main story. Still lame by my estimate. :colbert:
