I much preferred the first incarnation of that boss. I'm jealous. DQXI is easily one of my favorite, if not my favorite overall, game of the past few years, and the only game I ever Platinum'd. I wish I could play it again for the first time.

Yeah his voice actor is actually a Scandinavian dude who was born in the UK. I figure it’s considerably harder to place his accent because he’s in Dragon Quest and yet he doesn’t sound like the Swedish Chef.

Skwirl posted:There was no point in time I thought Erik was supposed to be "American" (whatever the gently caress that means in terms of accent). Because he can’t do it right.  Granted, I’m only a couple hours in, but it seems like he’s going for General American (i.e., what brits think all Americans who aren’t from the south or New York sound like and what Americans like me consider to be no accent at all), but he gets lost at the vowels and lands somewhere around moon person.I am very hung up on accents, much to my S.O.’s chagrin as I point out every secret Canadian or British or Australian actor in American shows. Sorry for accent derail; I still love the game, but I think I might like it even more if the voices were in my head.

The game is what you play until you see the credits. Anything after is the postgame. Then you hit the post-postgame. Alan Wake runs into the post-post-post-post-postgame, it's really quite simple

You're right I can't say with 100% certainty what accent he is failing at, but i'm switching to the Japanese VAs because it's driving me insane. I haven't posted on these forums this much in the last 13 years, but this is ABsOLUTE INSANITY. I'm WORKED up about ACCENTS in BIDEO JAMES and i can't think of anything in recent history that's been this disconcerting!

Jupiter Jazz posted:V is far more constrained and less expository. I have already brought up V in my initial post. Although the current topic is linearity, it wasn't the original topic du jour, which was storytelling methods. But since you *checks notes* tend to operate on bad faith, I doubt you won't address the initial post and will *checks notes* continue pick which battles you'd prefer. Like, every single thing you claim to dislike DQXI for has always existed in the series. DQVII literally had a level select hub, DQV starts you on rails, DQIV has start the game with multiple chapters chapter with a very explicit direction your character wants to go in. DQVIII has Trode, who is literally the hero's boss and telling him where to go.

Dr Pepper posted:Calling out your utter lack of knowledge is not "bad faith" it's just pointing out you're wrong. Utter lack of knowledge. Haha, gently caress off. You have not even tried to understand my point. My utter lack of knowledge? I have played every DQ besides X. Rather than be a prick, try to understand what people are trying to communicate. My entire argument isn't even about linearity. You have turned the argument into exclusively about linearity. Because that is what you do. You cannot rebut, so you have decided to frame it in your metric. Re-read, gently caress off, and take some more notes. Trode rarely tells you where to go. He's not up your rear end like Erik is. How about this? Play the first hour of DQVIII, then then first hour of XI. Note how, when, and in what you're always directed in XI. VIII has Trode but he only pops up in cutscenes, which are pretty restrained. XI is up its rear end with "you're going the wrong way" "you're doing this wrong" "here's another loving message about the real way you're supposed to go" "don't go on this path". Being told where to go isn't the problem. poo poo, they tell you where to go in DQ1. They'll say something like "____ is to the west". DQVIII is far more hands off in its adventuring compared to XI. Linearity isn't even the issue as we are talking about jrpgs, not Fallout games. The problem is the explicit manner that DQXI tells its story compared to its predecessors. Again, compare it with the first hour of VIII. Also note the amount of cutscenes VIII has. They're short. Sweet. Brisk. XI is constant with the in your face hand holding dog poo poo. Compare then reach out to me. You brought up one example, V's linearity, and that's it to prove an overall point when the original point was on storytelling changes made to DQ, which many posters in this thread agree has happened, but don't seem to mind much. But then here you are, coming in here mid-discussion with some gotcha point to try to prove a point, now claiming my "utter lack of knowledge" regarding a game I have played multiple times without trying to understand my point. Why? Because you're a prick. And yes, it was a bad faith argument because you're not actively engaging in an argument. Like the other pricks, Mr. "What" and "LMAO" you're showing your rear end rather than engaging in a discussion just to be a dick. Like usual. As said before, I. Do.Not. Like. You.

What I wouldn’t give to have 4-6’s mobile versions brought over to the Switch. I’ve been playing the mobile version of 4 on and off and while I definitely like it, the mobile controls feel so slippery. If there isn’t some kind of new version with actual buttons I’m probably going to wind up just going with the DS versions of 5 and 6, since iirc they’re not missing party chat or anything.

The inclusion of party chat makes it so much better than the original ds version where it was cut out of the localization.

My favorite is easily Torneko's. My fat merchant swordsman dude rocks. Alena also rocks. She even smashes rocks so that's even better. Alena really comes alive in party talk in DQ4 mobile. Team Hero, Alena, Torneko, and the cleric dude for life. Ran Rannerson posted:Oh yeah I’m definitely loving it, I don’t know how I could get by without being able to consult goo-d boy Healie on every plot beat, and I’m currently on Alena’s chapter and she’s the best. Just wait till she's in your party in chapter 5. It owns. And since we were talking about post-games earlier, DQIV remake's post-game is particularly fantastic.
