Commander Keene posted:The GBC version did have attack animations for monsters in battle. Yeah it did, and they were really smooth animations as well. As a result it is the largest GBC cart, by far, at 32 megabits (the size of Chrono Trigger SNES).

Commander Keene posted:I haven't actually ever beaten the first DQ, so I can't really speak to how different they are from Dragonlord, but isn't he just kinda a generic villain, complete with kidnapped princess and "join me and rule half the world" speech? He sits in his castle the whole game and tells you he will give you half the world if you join him. In Builders which takes place after accepting his offer, it's revealed that he gave the Hero a patch of land called Half the World. The Princess is being held by a Dragon Subordinate of his, who is apparently supposed to indimitate her to become the Dragonlord's bride. But yeah fairly standard.

Ok, i'm not gonna lie, the beginning of act 2 loses some impact when not a few hours earlier you've seen Sylvando gallivanting around the southern continent with his merry men, and here the game is trying its hardest to convince you that this one village is literally the only safe place left in the world. Not all of the impact, mind you, but certainly some of it. It more comes off as this specific part of the world getting hit super hard which is still pretty effective at making me feel feelings.

Sorry if this was already asked, but: Did they straight up remove the crossbow target quest from DQXI S? I’ve been trying to get this guest to start and I’m having no luck, and can’t find any official word on it!

Apologies if this has been asked before, I haven't been reading the thread as I'm playing XI for the first time and I'm trying very hard to avoid spoilers: if it's my first time through the game, is it recommended I don't play it on 16-bit mode? I really love SNES style graphics so I'd love to play the game that way, but I'm not sure if I'd miss out on big elements of the experience if I did it for my first time through.

Well, they've definitely re-tuned difficulty. The act 1 Phnom Nonh boss now only gets 2 actions per round instead of 3, which makes it infinitely more manageable.

You also dont get animations and have random encounters if you play 16 bit mode. Azathoth256 posted:Well, they've definitely re-tuned difficulty.

You can play it either mode but 3D is generally agreed to be how you should play it the first time.

I love the sidequest that implies cannons have been around for over 600 years and no one has ever really bothered to iterate on them or invent anything else with gunpowder.

Fantasy technology gets weird because of magic. Magic has more killing power than any gun in cutscenes, so fewer people interested in developing it.

They also cut a whole minigame where you collected Tockles who did a quest in the background which unlocked the Tockington stuff and replaced it with hiding Tockles around the world.

Ah yeah, I believe that was a Streetpass feature which would explain the cut. The rewards from that can still be earned in-game.

Youre still in the early game. Like, this game is so much longer than you think. Also no, dont use the boat to go back use the heros spell Zoom which now works everywhere go to hell cielings!
