Genpei Turtle posted:I can see they're going for a "(Word with same starting letter) of (Word with Same starting letter)" thing but it just comes across as forced.  I did not notice that for some reason! I thought that DQ4's "Chapters of the Chosen" was a great subtitle, but i'd have to agree with the others. I just got DQ6(no slimes available  should've gone to rich part of town where I got Slime shirt and poster for DQ9) and tried playing it last night... Then I got called into work soon after. Hope I have more time tonight!

Genpei Turtle posted:Actually that stuff--at least some of it--was in the PS remake of DQIV too. I don't think that's all stuff that's new to the DS version. I looked it up and could only confirm the DQIV extra pandemonium gear but nothing else. Since, as far as I know, the PSX version was not released in the US so it was more like a "If we haven't seen it it's new to us!" kind of thing. drat this thread is making me want to play all the DQs I have in order much like the Zelda thread. I don't know if I could do both series in 2011! Something tells me that i'm gonna try still. I saw 1 and 3 looking for the zelda games, but 2 is missing somewhere. DQ4, 5, 6 and 9 are all DS so that's easy enough. DQ8 my brother has. DQ7 has eluded me

I'm slowly trudging through the game and being a 'ghost' while going to the casino is the biggest tease ever!

Blaine the Train posted:I've been on a DQ kick since I picked up DQVI last week, and it made me curious about whatever happened with DQ Monsters Joker 2, whether or not it was getting released over here. Since it's been at least a year since it came out in Japan I figured we're pretty much never getting it, but I just learned that Japan's getting some special edition of the game called Joker 2 Professional, and holy poo poo. They're adding a veritable assload of DQ9 monsters to the game, as well as some new areas apparently, and it just looks spectacular! Here's the trailer, I guess be warned that it shows off a few DQ9 bosses, including the final one. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll release this version over here? It's probably a bit too late in the DS's lifespan but I can hope, right? Did I just see KING Liquid Metal Slime at 3:45??Is this new or am I just seeing it for the first time? I've always wished but i've never seen.

Dragon Quest: Played it, beat it. Fourth title beat Dragon Quest II: Played it, beat it. Second title beat Dragon Quest III: Beat it after finding the value of having actual party members that can be used as backup in certain situations. Took a while to figure that. Dragon Quest IV: First DQ I beat, favorite of the bunch. Dragon Quest V: Have, played, beat on DS Dragon Quest VI: Still haven't completed it. Will play more when i'm on travel. Dragon Quest VII: Unknown Dragon Quest VIII: Didn't play because little brother was playing. Never got around to it. Dragon Quest IX: Beat it and was endgame grinding. Stopped for a while, but will pick up later. Dragon Quest X: My future MMO that i'm going to play with is already PSO2. DQX is too late for me.

Armitage posted:For those of you that have gone through DQV, how in the world are you supposed to beat any of the T'N'T boards? Compared to DQIII on the Game Boy, these seem ultra difficult. Even the first one is very hard to beat, I've gone through 20 tickets and never ended up anywhere near the end. If I recall correctly, I would usually save before attempting a board and reset if I lost too many times. Cheap, but so is searching a field and SUPRISETRAPDOOR!

I remember playing DQ1 and finding the south most row available in the beginning of the game has higher level monsters like scorpions(which are common in the land past the nearby mountain range). Get enough levels on slimes then try my luck on scorpions. When i'm weak, go north where the slimes are and go to the town. Made grinding soooo much easier in the beginning.

BadAstronaut posted:Guys, I've hit a wtf moment in Dragon Quest IV and have no idea where to go. I'm about 14 hours in and I have to find my wife, I think. I am at a castle on the south east continent that looks a bit like South America on the map. Someone said to me he thinks the chancellor is dodgy. Someone else asked if I'm going to embark on a quest to find my wife like my father did. If you are where I think you are... If you are in chapter 5 check the spoilers. If not, ignore. Do you have the magic key? A slime in a village let's you know where it is. Its in the western cave in a lab. In order to find the staircase for the lab, you need to search the chest that held the lamp of darkness for a button. Alpha Kenny Juan fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Mar 24, 2014 |

Now that I think about it, wife should have been a dead giveaway for V, but an area that looks like south america with a corrupt chancellor made me think of IV's chapter 4 area.

Bo Jackson posted:Just started my first playthrough of DQ3. I'm playing the SNES remake (does anyone know how that translation patch is), and I gotta say, the personality test borders on verbal abuse. The game gave me a lot of tough love about my 'vain' personality before the game even started. Same here. Truth kind of hurts. Something tells me if you help the old man too much the game will call you greedy.

Nickoten posted:Yeah, Dragon Quest III was the first to have battery saves. That can't be right, can it? Did DQ3 happen before DW2 was sent stateside? I remember playing Dragon Warrior 2 and it had battery save because one day the data was corrupted and the music for "you put on a cursed item" went off and I got a save data corrupted message.It also freaked me the gently caress out  , especially since the TV was loud at the time. I didn't play it for a month after that.e: Yup. DQ3 was a year before DW1. Huh, never knew. e2: Also: gently caress Faxanadu's PW system. The stateside font change was so messed up.

Games from my childhood.  Actraiser was more action than role playing in my opinion, and the fun simcity parts. (Liked it) 7th Saga had that godawful difficulty ramp. (Liked it up to that point) Paladin's Quest took a lot of getting used to and seemed preachy at times. (Liked it, headbutt all day err day) Even though I liked them, I could see how certain elements would turn off an audience. But yeah, none of them really sold. I mean, other than DQ the series that got me into the genre was Lufia and that seemed to only do okay. e: By series I'm not including Zelda or FF.

Zelda happened because "The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses" was at the downtown theater. Everything else was a surprise.
