the only thing you really need to do before starting act 3 is going to all the pink bubbles to see the cool cutscenes

JustJeff88 posted:My one regret about DW3 is that there are four versions, none of which I can really call the "definitive" version that I would recommend over all others. My personal favorite is the Gameboy Color one, but the NES one and the mobile phone one are both good as well! I know it might seem weird to some people given the system's screen size and color limitations, but it comes down mostly to graphics for me. DQ3 does so much with so little and everything looks so perfect.

King Bahamut posted:Is there anything I should make sure I do before entering act 3? Someone recommended getting the whip from the casino in Octagonia, but I don’t really want to grind for a jackpot before I have to for a quest. Otherwise I’m just gathering materials for some recipes from the fortress, but I’m not sure that even has a point right now All of your items are going to dupe so think carefully about what you have everyone wear before you accept to do the thing.

Just to clarify: Yes, the dupe happens when you go from act2 to 3 but it only duplicates whatever they had equipped / in their inventory at the end of act1. e: the point is it's too late for them to worry about that for act3 because it's way past that point for this relatively minor thing.

Someone on GameFAQs (yeah, yeah) tested it and pinpointed the exact time: "It's the moment you talk to Benedictus in front of the cathedral in Arboria when you have all six orbs. So have the items and equipment you want to duplicate in each non-MC character's inventory before speaking to him."

Professor of Cats posted:Man, I have such heavy great nostalgia for DW3 and DW4. Can we all just gush about those NES games for a bit? One thing that stands out was how they gave NPCs little paths to give you the feeling the towns were alive. (at least in DW4). For example; the cook in the kitchen would go back and forth from the stove to the sink. Small poo poo like that. DW4 was the pinnacle of what NES games could do. I think it was the largest game, code-wise, as well. Demtor posted:I finally got stuck in DQIV. Made it quite a ways in to Chapter 5 before I ran out of places to poke at. Had to look up a walkthrough for some hints and I don't know how I would've thought to use the Magma Staff to get rid of that mountain. What the? How the hell does that even work? Sure would've been nice to be clued in on that one! I'm guessing there must have been some inane townsperson from some random place who casually mentioned it like, 10 hours and 20 sessions ago. Grrr. I'm positive that there is an NPC, or NPCs, who mention where to use the Magma Staff.

I adore 3, but 4 was very, very technically impressive and very groundbreaking in terms of storytelling. Adding an AI system for chapter 5 was incredibly impressive for its time, and it was very well done for what it was. Speaking personally, though, I wish that they had given it a miss or made it optional (if that were even possible at the time). 4 was kind of looked over as well because it came out so late in the NESs life cycle that everyone was playing the SNES by then.

If aren't totally sold on DQ1-3 or just burn out on em there are really awesome LPs by FrankZP. He's on DQ4 now so 1-3 are complete and will probably ruin whatever else you wanted to accomplish the next few days. Meanwhile, I'm nearing the end of Act 3 and it feels good.

I'm just venting over the adventure gamey aspects of the series that don't sit well with me from games almost 30 years old now, lol. Still a really great game but every now and then I roll my eyes at stuff like that.

At this point the character inventory system is pretty much another relic, especially given you can pull weapons out of the bag. Even then there's almost three decades of QoL missing. New items should automatically go in the bag, a character's equipment should be separate from their other carried items, and if you really wanted to pull out all the stops consumables should automatically restock from the bag between fights.

There is one button that dumps everything to bags, which I use all the time, and then if I wipe, then I distribute poo poo to everyone.

I thought the grid of icons was easier to parse at a glance and the menu overall was snappier to navigate.

The DQ8 (PS2) menu was a custom exclusive for the international versions, and it ran at 60fps where the rest of the game was 30 (or less). But they forgot to give it a 16:9 mode, so it looks all stretched where the rest of the game had that implemented properly.

It was also subject to massive amounts of load times and input lag which is probably a good chunk of the reason why I never finished the game until the 3DS version. IMO the inventory system in DQ is great and getting rid of it would remove an entire layer of strategy from the series.

Head Hit Keyboard posted:IMO the inventory system in DQ is great and getting rid of it would remove an entire layer of strategy from the series. The problem is that the importance of character inventories has decreased in each game to the point that it's now vestigial, being simultaneously a pain to deal with and not very relevant. A better system would be one where equipment is tracked separately from consumables and every character gets four inventory slots for items, which are automatically replenished from the bag between fights. It'd turn the inventory back into a gameplay element where you have to decide what items would be the most useful instead of a micromanagement/upkeep exercise where you periodically have to clean out the trash and ensure everyone has a full set of HP/MP restoratives and status items. corn in the bible posted:https://gematsu.com/2018/11/new-dragon-quest-monsters-game-in-development-for-console-starring-erik-and-mia I know it's less relevant with DQ11 being a massive hit but I can't wait for this to not be translated

TBH it’s not like they haven’t made things a lot more standardized in general. Remember when Frizz, Sizz, and Fire Breath were considered three separate elements gameplay-wise? Hell, just letting you redo skill trees for a pittance or money is better than some current games. Inventory is probably just gonna get cleared up in 12, along with, what, making debuffs a less trial/error and making Fuddle not trash?

I never had any crashes or other problems with it. I never ended up finishing it though, so I can vouch that it runs fine until at least halfway through the game.

Sorry to ask the three millionth DQ 11 casino question but I'm guessing the Get a Jackpot quest isnt quite available yet? I have it in my log but the bunny girl next to the tower isnt giving me forecasts and I'm still told the casino isnt open in general when I tried to go in Other than that, I'm almost done with the big Act 2 plot stuff, once I get this constantly teased airship Ill go check in with like Gallopolis which it's weird no one has directed me there considering uhhhhh what's going on there

Are they really not letting you in? Every time they say they're closed in my game, they ask if I want to wait until they open. If I say yes, it just jumps ahead a few hours and they're open.

I got my plat in DQ11 after like 90 hours. It's the first DQ game I've played and I really enjoyed it. It is a darn good game, probably one of the best JRPGs I've ever played.

God Erik's story is so good. I think all my posts say this, but I'm always so surprised by the writing in this game. I would've been fine without knowing Erik's motivations or Sylvando or Rab's history because they're all just cool and fun on screen, but I'm so glad they did I love them. This whole game is just me being struck by how competent it is. I guess wasn't sure if Dragon Quest still had it in it, but boy do I feel silly. I love this game, please take another thirteen years to make another console DQ, that's fine by meCommander Keene posted:The problem is that you're going too early in the day. Find a campsite (I use the one outside Heliodor because it's first on the Zoom list) and just rest until noon. Whenever you rest to try to get the jackpot prediction, always rest until noon. You could just wander around for a couple of in-game hours and wait for them to open, but the game doesn't have a clear way of marking the exact time so I'd just rest.
