PSA to not sleep on Sylvando's charm attacks, specifically That's Amore and Pink Pirouette. These are doing like 250-300+ dmg for me right now even to mech enemies

the next person to call the sequenced music midi is going to face my gunblade. also this score seems way worse than before, at least the new compositions. all the old tracks are still good. i don't think the orchestral arrangements for the new stuff are as good as the eariler games either oh well. sugiyama is 90 years old or something. hopefully they replace him for dq12 in 2026

That's cool and all but people are being way too hard on the music in this game. It's all good, even the new stuff, & it blends well with the old rear end sfx they use which everybody rightfully loves. It's almost like gamers have the need to nitpick and complain about something at all times

It's almost like gamers have the need to nitpick and complain about something at all times the midi sounds good and works with the oldschool feel, but you should have the option of either. im excited to play through it with the orchestrated music but its not something that personally drove me insane though lol like with the 3dsmake of dq8 i thought the midi was great, the orchestrated tracks would be wasted on its lovely speakers but the midi stuff sounded very clear and oldschool videogamey which is more appropriate for the system imo

DQ11 has made me interested in the series and I'm playing DQ3 right now, and it's great too

My only complaint is the overworld music, it’s too bombastic and doesn’t fit a lot of the time but you get the kickass DQ3 overworld music for the postgame anyway so w/e e: ^ya this

Aside from 8, they're really good. 4-6 are the DS ports; 4 in particular restores the party chat that was cut from the English version of 4 DS, so it's the best available. 1-3 have some weird graphical artifacts, and 3 is missing some features from the SFC version, but they got all-new translations.

Awesome thanks. As long as 4-6 are DS-faithful and 1-3 are functional it sounds like I’m in for good times.

I’m only about 5 hours into this but it’s so much fun. The enemy designs and animations are great. I like the classic sounding music and sfx, it’s charming. The forging system is really clever. This is a very fun game. It’s gonna take me a long time to actually get through it but I think the time between save points ends up making for a solid play session.

Bongo Bill posted:I'm absolutely going to double dip, because I'm shameless. I hope the Switch version includes the 16-bit graphics mode. unless there's something else i'm not aware of it seems like the 16-bit thing is specifically built for how the 3ds port plays (which is basically its own game) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAKIUivGUS4&t=1376s

Oh weird I didn't realize the bottom screen was just like a representation of you moving around the maps and not the full game in 16 bit. Still really cool

Use the thing from the village. Don't grind. Only grind in postgame, and only do it for the sheer joy of Numbers Go Up.
