Tippy-tip of the postgame spoilers ahead in the form of a cry for aid. I'll keep it pretty generic but I'm covering it up just in case. Anyone have tips for the post-postgame Tickington battles? I'm playing on Stronger Monsters. I was able to beat the big boss without reducing his power (just for style points) but I'm getting creamed by these. I'm not sure what to even do besides grind seeds or pep pops which seems pretty lame. I tried Googling this but I could only find other people complaining about it. Which checks out...

Yggdragon's Blessing abuse + lots of Magic Bursts from Veronica. Grind those Pep Pops. Keep in mind that pep status does not carry over from 3d to 2d. I still haven't beat Timewyrm on Stronger Monsters just yet. Literally the last thing to do for me.

I like puns as much as the next guy, but I really have to wonder if “Metal King Gooreatsword” was really nessecary.

The pun that made me fall in love with DQ's localisations was IV's Ultraviolent Ray.

The puns are charming but I'm more entertained by them orienting monsters together like they're interacting. Slimes following Bongo Drongos, Whackers sitting in front of a Professauraus. That's really cool to me.

Any tips on catching metal slimes out in the over world map? They run when I get close and I'm not sure how to approach to initiate a battle.

You're playing DQ7 remake, right? I forget, does Padfoot make you invisible to monsters in that version of the game?

I spend most of my time on PC so I'm spoiled when it comes to fuzzies/jaggies and pop-in  but yes, I'd only played in handheld so far, and it looked great there; expanded to a TV just kinda revealed all the warts

kirbysuperstar posted:A smaller screen can hide some of the imperfections and isn't uncommon for Switch titles I double-dipped and flipped back and forth between it and the PS4 version and some things look a bit less good and the models for NPCs have some weird jagged parts around them that don't disappear instantly that I keep noticing but aside from that nothing has really stood out. I wish they were using DS DQ5 graphics for the 2D parts but that's my only complaint so far. Anyway, I faintly remember hearing something about a New Game Plus here, is that an actual thing or just, go 2D at the beginning of the game and play it like that's a new game?

Prism posted:As I am highly unlikely to play Builders 2, what is the pun? (In spoiler text, for other people's sake.) The chapter revolves around mining ores to power up a golem named Goldiblox. You also build a series of increasingly elaborate pubs to motivate the workers, out of copper, silver and then gold. Right before the chapter boss, at the last possible moment, the game drops "Goldiblox and the Three Bars" on you, and I sat in stunned silence for about a minute.

I'd say more games should do this but there's probably an overload point. I am, however, very glad Dragon Quest does it.

I think I might be an idiot, but whatever, I've aired greater idiocy on these forums before. I started a file, faffed about, then started another file, after buying XI, and I could not for the life of me see how to select any of the difficulty trial things. In the demo, I remember it just automatically asking which ones you wanted if any, but I didn't get the option with the full release. I didn't see a button prompt for them or anything, but again, I might be an idiot here. What am I missing, for when I start a second run through and want to use them?

It should let you select the draconian quest options right after you select new game, iirc.

Man, I can never quite seem to return to DQB2 after any significant length of time without completely losing my place. No clue what I should be doing. I think I'm condemned to restart the game every time I want to play. Wonder why I've yet to get past the first village.

How many environs is the game anyway, I've been at that farm for so long I was becoming convinced there was nothing else 'course now that DQ11 is in the cards I'm not coming back to DQB2 soon, unless I give up again

I'm in what I'm told is the little bits of Switch exclusive content between part 1 and part 2 essentially in XI and I can't believe Sylvando invented Mardi Gras.

Besides I believe the max Charm that's effective for Jade is 600, after that it's pointless.
