Again a very likpatous story

Using the silver harp when standing on the stairs of the tower of kol(?) entrance has really high encounter rates for them iirc. I forget if it was a NES or SFC version thing or if others are like it.

That's an NES bug only, although it did get me looking and it turns out the encounter rate for Metabbles is highest on the fifth floor of Rubiss Tower, so I'm using that to grind at the moment and it's going much faster than I expected, certainly much faster than wasting time around Rimuldar.

I did not know that... Rimuldar was my go-to grind spot. Noted, and thank you!

It’s his signature attack, basically think the [Element]splitter moves the Luminary gets in Act 3 of XI, since its, like, literally the same attack.

Yeah Dai pioneered a lot of Dragon Quest moves later on.

Same with how the luminary's mark and Dai's dragon crest are the same kind of MacGuffin (and Eleven awakens theirs similar to how Dai does). When they made DQ11 they definitely borrowed from Dai.

That ending tease of Solo makes me wonder if the story for this game is going to be setup as a DQ4 prequel, or if it'll just be that they end up both going after Aamon from the start and Psaro never ends up being tricked in to wanting to wipe out humanity. Because that is definitely Aamon standing next to the throne when Psaro draws his sword.

I'm guessing the latter since it mentions being a story about revenge.

kind of funny how Psaro went from "Hidden super boss/super party member" from the first few Monster Games to being the main protagonist of this one

Are we playing a teenage Hercule? Did they dip back into the Heroes and Builders well and we get a choice of male or female hero? What's going on?

DQ3 should be a cinch to remake. It had only, what, 8 bosses?

I hope they keep the first bonus dungeon, scrap the monster medals, maybe add an intelligence stat and a raft of QoL features like the latest HD2D games.

On a side note, but did DQ11 introduce any new monster designs at all?

Oh I really hope the Eggsoskeletons and Evangelizards are in this DQM. I loved those guys.

Personally I'm hoping that of the bosses in DQ11 that could theoretically show up in the new DQM we at least get Jasper Unbound.

I thought it did have int, but it was only for the purposes of determining your mana cap.

Dq games not having scaling spells for awhile was a weird choice. I probably used sap more often in the early games than any actual offensive spell.

Eggoskeleton is a top tier design that definitely should keep showing up.

Dora-in-gray has been used in the DQ Tact mobile game and might've been in Dragon Quest of the Stars (RIP to a bad game) so I'd imagine that monster design will find its way into the new DQM as well.

A portly feline wizard waddles forth, muttering something about conjured food.

I watched the Dragon Quest movie last night. The 3D animated one that follows 5's plot. It was ok. I didn't dislike it. The ending sure was... something. Quite a surprise. They really had to skip a bunch of stuff to fit it into 90 minutes. Might've been better as a TV series. Speaking of, I'll have to check out The Adventures of Dai at some point. What's the consensus on that one?

Dai is a very standard shounen manga with DQ window dressing. His signature move has the dumbest name ever. I will die on this hill.
