Turning on DQ8's overworld theme instead of DQ11's basically makes this GOTY IMO.

Amppelix posted:Does every fight scene in XI have a custom animated version for if the hero is wielding a sword or a greatsword? It really looks that way to me, and drat, that's extremely impressive. I'm so used to cutscenes just existing in their own little world that seeing him use the exact same slab of iron he's equipped with in a choreographed fight, with locking blades and everything, and having the whole affair look completely natural? Is just so, so cool. Yeah, there's a cutscene viewer later in the game and it just gives you the default outfit and your Cobblestone Great/Sword when you watch them there. It would've been insane if it kept track of every weapon you used at each pivotal moment of the game though.

Xenoblade actually did that, and displayed appropriate equipment for everyone in flashbacks. Too bad it didn't also do the impossible and predict exactly what armor sets you would be wearing in the many visions you see.

Have they removed the crossbow kid side quest? I’ve got the crossbow, but the guy outside Gallopolis palace who’s supposed to start the quest ...doesn’t.

Moving the character changes your target. Anyway with the release of 11 on Switch they released the original three Dragon Quests, which I am going through for the first time and I must say, it's way more fun than I thought it would be. Just beat Dragon Quest and I moving onto Dragon Quest II, and I must say it's amazing how much bigger the world is suddenly.

Did they make Slayer of the Sands weaker on the Switch version. I fought him both level 16 and I got my rear end kicked 5 times on the PS4 version. On the Switch version I did it one try without any hassle. His spammable AoE attack seems to do less damage than before. Heck he even did one damage to a buffed Serena with a normal attack. The only strategy changed was I used poison knife build over sleep on Erik. Poison landed every time, doing 50 damage a tick for 2 turns before doing 200 damage with Cobra Strike.

I know it's just how, like, Dragon Quest games work but I wish Mr Protagonist was more expressive. Or emoted at all, really. A lot of weird poo poo happens to this dude and he mostly stonefaces though it.

Finally got my first loss to Arachtagon. That party-wide poison spine attack is a bitch. My party's around 21-22 right now, I'm planning on grinding to around 24 or at least until Serena gets Kabuff, hoping that comes soon.

I got dq xi switch in no small part for 2d mode bc I did half of it in 3d mode on pc already, but i ended up missing the modern sparkle after a couple hours and ended up just switching back to 3d. I do wish switching back and forth was a bit less rigid, I’d mess around with it more probably. Real excited to beat the game this time

Commander Keene posted:It ain't gonna stop any time soon, I'll tell you that. At one point there's a scene where the party splits up and you're with Serena, and when a commotion happens they both look at each other like "must be Veronica again". The silent protagonist from builders 1 had way more character than 11’s

If the Switch version is like the SFC and Mobile versions, and I'd bet on it, it's not nearly as bad as the NES version. I will never play DW2 NES again, but I had a very enjoyable time with the two aforementioned versions. It's not DW3 good, but it was fun and not an unbalanced mess like the original.

Started up Definitive Edition today. I am truly amazed how much they got out of UE4 to work well on the Switch. I mean it's no 60fps like it is on PC but it's still very impressive.

Careful not to spoil anything outside of spoiler boxes, everyone. Sylvando's stuff is some of the best in the game. Don't want to ruin it for new players.

I haven't known Sylvando for very long but he's a rich, famous, incredibly skilled performer dude and it would be so easy to make a character like that an rear end in a top hat but so far he's he helped the Prince grow a spine AND save face, and he's trying to find this little girl's parents, and as far as I can tell he's joined not out of any personal connection to the Luminary's quest, he's just here because, like, the world needs saving. Why wouldn't he help out. so I don't know if his story gets weird later but so far I'm just getting this impression of an incredibly compassionate dude who is also fabulous. And has Hustle Dance.
