XI Definitive does add on time due to the extras, but what's also nice is it shortens the time through lots of QoL features such as faster battle speed, ability to buy mats for crafting while crafting, ability to call the horse from anywhere, etc.

hamburgers in pockets posted:Hey it's me, the dumb rear end in a top hat who checked the OP of a 10 year old thread and couldn't find the answer to his question. After absolutely loving loving Yakuza 7 I've gotten the hankering to go back and play an actual Dragon Quest game. I've only played DQ1 and 8, and I know 11 is the new hotness, but I'm going back and forth between deciding on the Switch or PS4 versions. I know the new PS4 version is a port of the Switch one with all the new content, but does it run at a higher resolution or framerate? Or is the Switch version the preferred because of the convenience of being able to play how and wherever? Now that the S edition is on all platforms, it's more about if you want to be able to play on the go or not. S on the Switch looked fine to me.

Tabletops posted:Also the equipment/item management sucks butt The Metal Slash / Metalicker skills just deal slightly more damage to metal enemies. If you're metal hunting, you want to use skills that cause crits since crits ignore defense. Erik can learn a skill called Critical Claim later in the game and another character has skills that either miss or do a crit. Those are what you want to use for metal farming.

Bongo Bill posted:In 8, I seem to recall it's best to focus on 1 or 2 skill trees rather than spreading them out, because you won't get enough for all of them and you can't respec. A regrettable flaw in what is otherwise a superb game - not that you need to optimize, but that you feel locked into the decision. If you decide to get to level 99, all characters will get 350 skill points, so enough for 3 maxed trees and a half of another. And skill seeds only give 5 skill points each, so you'll have a ton of grinding to go in order to max all trees for every character. 11 is nicer in that you can almost max everything at max level, respec and most characters only need a few seeds to max everything instead of 30.

Honestly if you're just at getting Veronica in the team, just go get the S version for all of the extras and QoL features. This is coming from someone who pretty much 100% *both* the original and S versions of DQ11.

Tickington has some really good rewards, plus you have to complete it to unlock more bonus content. However there are parts that only unlock as you progress further into the story, so you can do it at your own pace.

lets hang out posted:DQ11 has a hard mode, it's not insanely difficult but you might at least need to think about what you're doing in boss fights. They even had to nerf a few parts when they ported it to Switch and PC. I'd say once you start combining them it makes the game rather difficult. If you want some real punishment, put them all on. No fleeing from battle, no shopping, no armor, reduced exp, super strong enemies, shypox/super shypox and party wipe if Hero goes down would make the game quite hard.

Bongo Bill posted:Morrie and Red are very strong. Yea, quite strong. I'd probably rank the characters as Hero > Red = Morrie > Jessica > Angelo > Yangus Red gets a 300%-400% attack that only costs 10mp, a 12mp Kazing, a 0 MP 80% 3-4 random target attack and can easily get more gold and items for the party. Also her best armor besides MK Armor increases her max HP by 100 and her agi by a whopping 200. Morrie gets a skill that boosts his Tension by 2 levels for 0mp, a skill that boosts an ally's Tension by 1-2 levels also 0mp, Kazing, a club version of Executioner, Rake N Break to remove Tension and buffs from enemies, 0mp Kasap, and a 200% 10mp full screen attack. At the end of my last playthrough, Yangus was pretty much a Kerplunk bot and I'd switch Jessica for Angelo when I wanted more defensive options.

With regards to DQ8, you get 350 skill points by the time you get to max level, which is enough to master 3.5 skill trees. There are some bosses & enemies that will drop seeds of skill and you'll find them through out the game. My suggestions, spoilered: Hero: Swords, Spears, Courage Yangus: Axes, Scythes, Humanity Jessica: Whips, Staff, Sex Appeal. Magic Burst in Fisticuffs is amazingly powerful as well, but the rest of the tree isn't great. Angelo: Bow, Staff, Charisma Red: Fan,Knives, Roguery Morrie: Claws, Passion, Clubs or Boomerangs

Not interested in bad PS2 3d and the earlier DQ games are too primitive, from the little bit I tried playing of them. I guess that leaves 7 by elimination, also somehow the PS1 hybrid 2d/3d graphics actually look OK to my eyes Honestly 7 as your first DQ is a rough one. Here are my suggestions instead as any of these would be good: DQ 4 DS DQ 5 DS DQ 8 PS2 or 3DS. 3DS is more content but not as nice looking. DQ11 Definitive Edition

I'm currently going through DQ7 3DS, 47.5 hours in. Thoughts... and spoilers ahead for a nearly 23 year old game. Giving you a 5th character late into the story who may not be nearly as developed as the rest of the characters sucks. Encounters being visible is pretty nice and you can still use Whistle to start a fight if you want. The DLC tablet stones are pretty nice for getting good equipment, and being able to make your own stones with specific monsters is even better. You can make your own XP or Money farming tablets later in the game. Wanna create a XP gain tablet? Switch to Monster Mashers, get 3 Plat King Jewels to join your monster stables and create a tablet with all 3 of them. Jobs are supposedly faster to level up, but will still take time to master. When I got my 5th character, she was way behind the rest of the party, so I used some Vocation and XP gain cheats to catch her up. Highly suggested to play on the 3ds so you can do a quick save or just put the system to sleep.

Forgot to mention about the DLC tablets, all of them have a vocation level of 99, so you can get Gooing Strong for example and just Whistle and grind vocations with enemies you can kill with one action.

Bongo Bill posted:Leave 'em on AI control if all they can do is attack. Makes things go much faster. The AI control in DQ7 3ds is actually pretty solid. It typically knows if an enemy will weak to snooze or other status effects that cause them to lose a turn. It can also anticipate someone dying and queue up a Kazing on the same turn. It is pretty much DQ11 style combat where it's not strictly choose your actions for a round and then it plays out but you don't get to control said actions directly.

Okay, Dragon Quest 7 3DS, I'm at the end game when you get access to the final prizes in the casino. I can't be bothered with mashing the A button on the slot machines until my fingers fall off so here's what I did: I have a modded 3ds to start. I installed NTR CFW and Input Redirection files on the 3DS and on my computer. I'm running the Input Redirection on my computer now with an 8BitDo SN30 Pro+ and it's communicating with the 3DS via wifi. After putting the SN30 into XInput Mode, I remapped my buttons, went into the Buccanham 100 token slots, enabled Turbo mode for button A, put in a full amount of tokens and now I have one controller holding down the SN30 A button to spin the reels while I type this up. Gimme my Prism Peacock hearts, Metal King Armors and Flails!

I've heard a lot of mixed opinions and considering how long the game is I'm unlikely to play through both in any sort of succession. 3ds is my vote. The ability to quick save and put the game down just about anywhere is nice.

DQ8 3ds: If you plan on getting to level 99 for post game stuff you will get 350 skill points naturally. You can add in a bit more for seeds of skill and super seeds of skill (3ds only). The 3ds version is more generous with the seeds as well. Suggestions for allocation: Spoilers ahead. Hero: Swords: 100 Spears: 100 Boomerang: 0 Fists: 11 Courage: 100 This puts you at 311 so you have 39 left over without seeds. If you want to put the rest into Boomerangs for fodder, you'll need 3 seeds to get to Super Throw which is pretty useful. Lightning Thrust is important for level grinding, so it's a must. Yangus: Axes: 100 Clubs: 0 Scythes: 100 Fists: 0 Humanity: 82 This puts you only at 282, so plenty of points to go from there. Axes are his beat weapon and you want Executioner for metal farming. Scythes help with stealing things like seeds. Yangus does get outclassed by the spoiler characters later on, but Kerplunk from 82 Humanity is great as a last resort. Also having him available for out of battle healing is nice. Jessica: Knives: 0 Whips: 100 Staves: 100 Fists: 100 or 50 Appeal: 100 or 50 Staves allow her to regen MP on higher levels and give access to important spells. Whips are good weapons against groups. I would suggest maybe giving her a bulk of the seeds of skill and maxing her MP because Magic Burst is an amazing ability that scales based on her current MP total and can be used with Tension. Angelo: Swords: 82 Bows: 100 Staves: 100 Fists: 0 Charisma: 52 You'll have a few points left over but most of Angelo's best skills are bows and staves. His sword skills are okay at best and he sadly learns Defending Champion way to late in fists. Spoiler characters: Red: Fans: 82 Whips: 80 Knives: 100 Fists: 7 Rougery: 81 Dance of Life from Fans is her version of Kazing, give her one seed to get Whips up to Twin Tan. The extra HP and skills from Rougery are nice. Blade Cascade from 100 Knives is absolutely busted. Properly setup you can one shot end game bosses with Blade Cascade. Morrie: Claws: 100 Clubs: 93 Boomerang: 66 Fists: 0 Passion: 88 This leaves you with 3 points left. Rake N Break is great against bosses. He can kill metals with his clubs skills, but his Passion skills are amazing. Intensso raises an ally's tension by 1-2 levels and GRANDE GUSTO raises his own by 2 levels, plus he gets Oomph and Kazing in Passion. Kuros fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Apr 10, 2023 |

Was it related to protag's dad going out fishing at the start? He's all "Well you got everything fixed so you really don't need me, if you want to test your abilities though we can fight." He does give you parts of the second optional dungeon if you beat him in less than 20 turns a few times.
