Ah well gently caress you then game I'll just take the big boring numbers :(

Sword Dance can though, and it’s the same damage multiplier, and most importantly, Eleven dual wielding beam sabers to go full ham on a dude feels real real good the same way Unbridled Blade does.

(you need to be fairly deep in the postgame to grab sword dance and not neglect the Luminary skill tree though. :()

Sword dance is awesome and was my number one used skill. Actually I forgot that you need all 4 panels around it, still it's worth getting ASAP. The only things you need from luminary are pep up and omniheal tbqh.

And evne then you don't Need omniheal for a while.

I'm nearing the end of act 3 and this is very noticeable now that I have equipment that adds 10% to crit. Maybe it has something to do with my skill point allocation but I thought she was pretty mediocre in Act 2. Overall, there seems to be some interesting power curves for all of the characters where their effectiveness changes between acts. Sylvando, for example, is very good in Act 1.

Then there's a magic user, that I don't want to spoil, who was crummy for the entire game. I was doing the Wheel of Harma last night and I noticed that they have a spell that uses all of their MP. It turns out this spell can do more than 7k damage to all enemies which is far and beyond all other characters combined.

I think Erik does more damage with dual wielded full damage swords after oomphle and divide than he does with oomphle and divide and the dagger status setup, because he can pump them out faster.

So people who have or are playing 11, what'd you go with for the hero's name?

I made the mistake of picking Guile not knowing there was an entire skill tree of the same name until nine hours in. :v:

I named Hero "Mina" because the game asks you for a name without telling you it's a gender locked character.

I haven't played XI yet (hoping that the Switch port won't be shite), but I'm currently playing DQ3 mobile and DW4 for NES. In both games, I've named my hero "Gormless"1 because I find that hilarious for some reason and when it's abbreviated to four letters it makes "Gorm", which isn't bad for short.

Is there a table that shows how many skill points each character should have at each level in DQXI? I'm considering getting all accolades and read that it's way easier to farm the seeds in act 2, but I'm not sure how many I've already used and on who.

The Switch version is launching in Japan in 2019 with optional voice overs and more choices of who to marry/live with.

Little annoyed now since I've only just made it to Act 2 and didn't know that.

Don't worry! If you marry Veronica then they will simply make the protag use his child modal for the rest of the game so it's all even stevens.

Well for one I hope this means the other versions also get updates and it won't be a case of the Switch having the most content.

And on the other, I hope it doesn't just mean only your party members but surprise options too like Miko or Serenica.

Is DQ XI a "finished" game? Or are there expansions/DLCs coming?

How does it play with keyboard+mouse? I don't have a controller and am eyeing it at the Steam sale.

It will absolutely be a case of the Switch version having the most content. At best the PS4/PC versions will get the Switch extra content as paid DLC. How else will they encourage fans to double-dip?

RareAcumen posted:

I'm all for some dark-horse options, but Miko has a son older than Hero. That would make things a little weird. At least with Serenica, you could argue that there's a sort of Inuyasha situation going on, where Hero is the reincarnation of her original beloved. And I'm not really sure how many other plot-relevant characters are realistic options.

it's finished and there is no dlc or anything like that. the switch port will supposedly have a couple bonus things but that's it.

i have no idea how it plays with keyboard and mouse but it's not, you know, a very complicated game, i image it'd be fine

its like 100+ hours and one could possibly complain that its too complete considering that basically every single loose end in the story is tied up by the conclusion. if it gets any dlc at all ill be really surprised.

A time traveling adventure everyone can enjoy

I often name the main character Hero, but for this game I went with Hale. My grandmother used to play every Dragon Warrior game for the NES, and she would name every main character Hale, because she was a mystic/witch and some kinda fortune told her once that surrounding herself with health would being further health, so she named all nameable RPG characters the same thing.

Game is good, buy it. Ran great on my PC, never crashed once, although I have a 1080ti/8700k so pretty overkill. KB/mouse sucked, I used xbox 360 controller which was great.
