Not seeing anything useful from the bad wikis. It's not first casino in DQ6 meek but it's not high roller enough. I'll be happy to plow on for another day before I get the big wins.

I got there a LOT quicker than that, maybe around 4-5 hours. I didn't do a lot of exploring, though (I barely touched Heliodor City, for example, beyond the plot required stuff.

Harrow posted:

The hero can get dual wielding and it's generally worth it if you like auto-attacking fools for lots of numbers.

Greatsword is great for AoE damage; it's dicier in boss fights though, especially on hard mode where everything just hits so drat hard and your hero is a backup healer. Swinging around a big chunk of metal feels great, though :black101:



Also, I did end up actually beating the Slayer of the Sands and probably stayed up too late doing it :v: I'm sticking with the hard mode for now (especially since Laguna Gondolia has now introduced Goopis and so leveling in the upper teens is no longer an issue. I probably did the Slayer a bit underleveled (Serena doesn't get Midheal until 16), but that itself is a bit worrying since I actually did grind a bit looking for a gold cactball for that one quest; evidently the game wanted me to grind even harder for the boss in question. That's a bit concerning and I'm worried it's really going to start demanding some grinding, though to be fair 16 or so sees some real power spikes among your dudes.

Of course, concerning the spoiler: the other thing is that the Slayer fight proves how utterly ridiculous some of the limit breaks are. By my estimation, hard mode Slayer has about as much HP as Baramos did in the original NES DW3 (so about 900, without regen), and doesn't hit as hard (25-35 melee with crit capacity, 30/35-point breath attack w/ attached dazzle, 5-hit random attack of 10-12 damage each) but you have to fight it in your mid teens, without Kabuff for sure. The best way I found to hack through that HP pool outside of LBs is putting it to sleep then having Erik backstab it (that'll do 200+ damage with Sap up)... but on my fifth try or so, I had Erik use his triple tech with Eleven and Ronnie, and it put up a sigil that did 180 damage for every turn the Slayer took (not action, mind, but turn). It was dead three turns after casting it. That's well north of double what my entire team was able to do at that moment with a focus on all-out offense barring a lucky backstab getting set up.

The thing is, of course, it's still somewhat random as to if you get the pep setup for that. In previous attempts, I hadn't gotten it in time.

They're really powerful but I wish they were a bit more consistent/controllable. They're just such an absurd swing when used right.

Someone earlier posted they experienced input lag. Was it only on menus? If so, I think that's just a weird DQ quirk. I remember DQVII on the 3DS had the same thing.

Harrow posted:

Greatsword, and all the weapon animations and models for it are loving bad rear end so I have no regrets. Dual wielding seems ok-- your second weapon has its damage gimped significantly so it seems more useful with, like, daggers, where a bunch of them apply status effects or do extra damage VS certain enemy types. Erik can also get a skill that makes the off-hand weapon do full damage but it looks like that's buried in the Swords tree and you need to deep into Daggers to unlock dual wielding to begin with so that's probably a later-game thing.

Also big pro-tip: characters can equip different weapons mid-battle and it doesn't seem to cost you a turn or disadvantage you at all, so there are probably good strategies that take advantage of speccing into multiple weapons -- use one to clean up easy mobs and boss adds, use another to deal big single-target damage, etc. Also swapping party members out also appears to be "free" and not set you back in turns, unless you're swapping the party member whose turn it currently is (which will basically skip their turn). Not sure how this interacts with buffs and debuffs and whether they're retained/keep ticking down etc

Probably my only real beef with the game at 25 hrs in is that all the cool equipment that changes your appearance (and there’s quite a bit of it) has to actually be worn l, stats and all, instead of being purely aesthetic. It’d be great if you could just select from appearances based on equipment you’ve found it crafted

Pls use greatswords on the hero Harrow. If I’m correct only Erik can unlock a skill to dual-wield without penalty, but even so the mc pretty much lets the weight of the sword fall down on the enemy. An awesome animation in a sea of awesome animations.

There are so many ways he could've been hosed up, and so far (to Gondolia) the game's avoided all of them. He owns and his VA is in particular doing a fantastic job capturing his character.
