Genpei Turtle posted:Yeah, they are kind of dumb. "Realms of Revelation" in particular sounds kind of cheesy, and isn't not a really good translation either, ...And it was originally going to be "Realms of Reverie", which is a drat good sub-title. However, Revelation actually fits plot-wise.  Explanation: The characters have a revelation about the realm that's referred to as "Realms of Revelation". However, the term is used by residents of the world above to describe the world below, in which case makes "Revelation" not make any sense whatsoever as those residents have no idea as to the truth. Realms of Reverie, or in the case of the DS fan translation, The Trancing Tracts, explains this better since nobody can see residents of the world above they think the world below is entrancing, dream-like, or a holodeck.Agnostic watermelon posted:[e] Was anyone able to find a copy 6 yet?

Genpei Turtle posted:In the original Japanese version, that place (and the subtitle) was "Maboroshi no Daichi" which roughly translates as "the land of illusion." I finally got to actually sit down and play. Interesting. They chose to translate the subtitle and the term differently, the phantom realm, instead of re-using the subtitle. Now I can't wait to see if Realms of Revelation actually appears anywhere in the official English script.

Genpei Turtle posted:Or better yet, the SFC version. (Is there a translation patch for that?) Yes, but there are some questionable lines in it. Manos del Sino posted:I just got Ashlynn in my party and Ra's mirror and the rest of my team is around level 15. Nothing had been a challenge up until I reached this cave, and now suddenly I'm not just outclassed, I'm way outclassed by the mobs here. Yeah, I actually got killed by some garrrgoyles, and then learned better the next time and evac'd a couple more times. I didn't have much money to spend on some equipment. It was a good test of the tactics system though (pushing buttons  ). Now that I have some more cash I can get some better weapons and armor (not on everyone though).edit: I feel like I'm gaining levels too much, and I'm still getting my rear end kicked.

Mister Roboto posted:Also, how are you guys making so much cash in the DQ6 casino? I have terrible luck at the slots too. I had better luck at Poker, but only later in the game (J version) when the Double-Up didn't suck. In other news, time to have some fun with classes. Carver is going to be a fabulous dancer

Senor P. posted:I've been wondering about this a while but did anyone try the re-release of DQV on the PS2(non-localized, but last I heard some people were making an Enligsh patch.) There isn't any WIFI capability or Deborah. The music is, however, orchestrated and fantastic. Translation-wise it has been localized, but in a different manner than how DQ5 DS was localized. On a different note, does anyone know if Nintendo, GameStop, or Best Buy will be having DQ6 events like they did for DQ9? I know that Suite Dreams has a couple of secrets in it that require you to share dreamcards, and I don't have a subway ride to do that with or anything.

It looks like Best Buy will be doing DQ6 at their DQ9 Connect & Play demos this Saturday and on the following Saturday, March 5th. I guess that's going to be the best place to collect dreams. Also, I hyped myself up thinking Terry would still act like a punk in English, but he's been pretty dull so far.  If he's not going to act up, I'm sending him back to the wagon, dammit!

Having a dancer with Fuddle Dance or casting Fuddle/Fizzle is really nice. I guess the debuffs are all really cool. If you use them, then you won't have a problem against almost anything. After I understood that and using items, my enjoyment of DQ went up immensely.  Though that doesn't really matter in DQ6 until after Murdaw. Currently I'm trying to decide what poo poo is worth buying in Despairia and Greedmore since I'm poor as gently caress.

No, it won't break things. Did you explore under the sea after you took care of the mermaid? There is a lot to do underneath (like killing Gracos and getting a bunch of loot), but really, at that point the game is open to completing several quests that relate to each other.

I'm not really a fan of "punishing" games, and I found that the only punishment you get is playing the Casino and defeating metal slimes (my luck sucks except for Poker  ). I had only played DQV before that, which probably helped to understand what the gently caress I was dealing with the next DQ I tried. Sure, I died a couple of times, but it wasn't a big deal. In DQV, I used Attack way too much instead of relying on the strengths of skills like Fuddle and Fizzle. I think the DQ remakes spoiled me because I tried to play FF3 and I haven't touched my DS in a month.

BadAstronaut posted:Is there a translation of the PS Dragon Quest game(s) that didn't get released in the west? There's a fan translation for DQ5 for the PS2 with two flavors of spell/name localization if you wanted the higher quality music and slightly improved graphics than the DS version.

Expect My Mom posted:oh hey I found my copy of DQ6 that I bought and then lost right away There's a vague sense of finding yourself similar to 5 that loses players among the vignettes similar to 7 and fetch quests in the mid-game. The party is fairly unchanging throughout, which may get boring compared to 4. The DS version is cute and the class system is fun to play around with. In the game I played, Carver became a goof-off, fashionista and my heal slime a champion  Also, if you're not constantly party chatting you might get lost. Not party chatting all the time is like missing out on 2/3 of the content of the remakes.

Ofecks posted:It's a very small thing, but I liked how the female characters would respond adorably in party chat after talking to a cat. This is largely absent in 4 and 5, but it seems like every single cat in 6 gets a unique response.  That and Amos trying to be funny and failing are great. Commander Keene posted:So naturally they didn't bother to translate it in the DQ4 remake. Yeah, I'd be pretty mad about missing out on all that too. Didn't the last chapter have party chat translated at first?

Pixeltendo posted:My friend let me borrow his 3DS copy of 8, is there anything I should know about this game beforehand, and anything in general about the series? Don't be afraid of dying, it's not that big of a penalty. Battle isn't about choosing Fight, but using items, buffs and debuffs. Just make what you want of it and enjoy the ride.

SeANMcBAY posted:Has anyone played through the fan translation of Rocket Slime 3? How does it compare to 2 on DS? From last page, but the translation is not the 100% pun-filled, silly goodness of 2. It has its cute moments and dad jokes though. Most of the humor is in text that you may not be paying attention to as you play whereas the text that's more prominent is less so (to be vague and non-spoilery). It's still pretty silly even if it's not all puns imo. The game mechanics are good, but there are some hit box quirks to get used to. There are a few different strategies that work for the most part. The post-game is a collectible grind.

Good advice here there.MadmanIncorporated posted:Exploration Mode doesn't change a key's level, so you can use that freely.

Evil Fluffy posted:I'm running Citra since the graphic options are normally better than just using a 3DS and it's less work but what's the deal with load screens dropping to a near total freeze? I never had that issue with Joker 3 when I played it awhile back. Jade Rider posted:I got the same issue with the loading when I tried Citra, I didn't even get to the Desert world before I bit the bullet and put it on my modded 3DS. Anything newer than nightly 1524 is going to run like rear end. I think there were some changes to shaders or something that causes that issue. Playing on a 3ds is better anyway for online stuff.

Yeah, there's a lot of familiarity too. I got hit with a wave of nostalgia after learning the slime names, and then seeing that one attack the blue and orange slimes do. And there's that brief intro to the scout game mechanic too.

serefin99 posted:...Oh, I don't know why I thought they were reversed. I coulda swore I saw something saying they were but Google corroborates you so- Maybe you're thinking about DQM 2 SP, which is technically the latest, but that's only for Android. I think if you can get/downgrade to a specific version, 1.0.3 (?), somewhere, there's a patch that applies the 3DS translation to that + newer stuff.

Mr E posted:The story is accurate but a lot of the names of people and towns aren't as accurate as they could be and it kind of annoyed me. Are you sure? I think that translation is as close to the source as possible with regard to names. Though It definitely doesn't implement the amazing puns that the DQ is now known for.
