Moving the character changes your target. Anyway with the release of 11 on Switch they released the original three Dragon Quests, which I am going through for the first time and I must say, it's way more fun than I thought it would be. Just beat Dragon Quest and I moving onto Dragon Quest II, and I must say it's amazing how much bigger the world is suddenly.

Detective No. 27 posted:DQII is good but the second half is such a chore. Is it more of a chore then running around for Erdicks gear in Dragon Quest 1, which I still had a lot of fun with somehow.

SettingSun posted:Nope, no battle animations at all. Instead you have those super upscaled monster portraits that look like junk. Ofecks posted:Did they at least include the monster battle animations? Apparently the mobile port even took those out for some reason. Also question to series vets, who would you say is your favorite Dragon Quest Demon King, and how much do the Demon kings throughout the series differ from the Dragonlord.

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.

Playing through Dragon Quest III on Switch. Did I screw up by using a bunch of books whenever I got them. Also should I be reclassing my dues at level 20. Also it's kind of amazing to me the massive amounts of changes from 1 to 2 to 3. Particularly how much bigger 3 is. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 23:54 on Oct 7, 2019 |

Huh I wonder why Estark keeps showing up as a super boss in games over Psaro. Heck Estark is even using Psaro's colors instead of his own.

Tabletops posted:I’m really torn on Sylvia. He(she? At least in jp) is simultaneously the best character and also a ridiculous walking stereotype. I also don’t like how the English text basically eschews all the pronoun stuff which in some ways is actually pretty interesting I guess. Sylvia/Sylvando is considered male or neither by the JP audience from what I know. Saw someone refer to them as Sylvia Aniki. Countblanc posted:obviously everyone is open to their own interpretation but as a queer man I love Slyvando, it's very cool that he's a powerful, chivalrous dude whose femininity compliments those things rather than detracts from them, and no one treats him as lesser for it. he's also just so nice and positive. several other of my queer/gay friends feel the same, though I do know at least one just can't get past the idea that the game/writers might want you to laugh at him so it's hardly an objective truth that he's beloved. He's an entertainer of course he wants people to laugh. Pretty much everyone in the game loves him as well. MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Mar 20, 2021 |

I must say the English team gets much fancier with the villain titles then Japan does. They seen reluctant to just use the same title again. English Japanese DQ1 Dragonlord DQ2 Master of Destruction Malroth DQ3 Archfiend Baramos and Master Archfiend Zoma DQ4 Psaro the Manslayer and Estark Lord of the Underworld DQ5 Grandmaster Nimzo DQ6 Dread Fiend Murdaw and Archfiend Mortamor DQ7 Orgodemir the Demon King DQ8 Lord of Darkness Rhapthrone DQ11 Mordegon Lord of Shadows Japanese DQ1 Ryūō (King Dragon) DQ2 Hakaishin Sidoh (God of Destruction Sidoh) DQ3 Maou Baramos (Demon King Baramos) and Daimaou Zoma (Great Demon King Zoma) DQ4 Maou Pisaro (Demon King Pisaro) and Estark Jigoku no Teiō (Estark Emperor of Hell) DQ5 Daimou Mildrath (Great Demon King Mildrath) DQ6 Mao Mudou (Demon King Mudou) and Daimao Deathtamoor (Great Demon King Deathtamoor) DQ7 Daimao or Tenmao Orugo Demira (Great Demon King or Heavenly Demon King Orugo Demira) DQ8 Ankoku-shin Rapusōn (God of Darkness Rapusōn) DQ11 Mao Urunōga (Demon King Urunōga) MonsterEnvy fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jan 11, 2022 |

Did it beat DQ V. Nimzo was the toughest final boss yet. Came down to just 1 turn. If he had survived I would have lost. (My Legendary Hero was out of MP so could not recast Insulate after Nimzo's last disruptive wave, so I restored some hoping he would not use his Breath, but he did then followed up with a Kaboom taking down two party members, If I took the time to revive he would have killed me, so I decided to just go full on attack, and the Kazap I used took him out.) Time to move on to DQ VI.

Shugojin posted:I haven't played it since high school but I have an extremely strong memory of hitting a point in Dragon Quest 6 where it was just going around doing things and waiting for the real villain to finally show up. Very aimless. You learn the real villain exists after beating the second major one. I am liking 6 quite a lot, though it has gotten very open, and I need to explore everything. Just beat the third Dread Fiend and am searching for the Legendary Treasures, having gotten the Helm so far.

KingSlime posted:I know the remake for seven is considered definitive and much better than the original, but any of you prefer the OG version? Still making my way through 6 though I am enjoying it. I say play 7 the way you feel like I am probably going to do the 3ds version as well. Though I have hit a low point on my 6 playthrough. Namely messing up on my vocation reading. The Hero vocation can be learned by mastering the Luminary, Gladiator, Sage, and Ranger vocations, the exception to this being the games hero who just has to master one of those vocations. However I had my hero learn the Armamentalist vocation, cause I was mistakenly under the impression that it was one of the vocations that led into Hero. Now I have to do another 400 fights to get my Hero class.

Beat 6. Mortamor was not as hard as Nimzo cause I had more options (Though I was also 10 Levels higher for Mortamor) Will move on to 7 soon.

Last Celebration posted: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.

Dai is getting a full game adaptation which I think looks fun. Vearn is also a great Demon King.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I finished Infinity Strash and it just ended super abruptly after a boss battle that wasn't even one of the six main legion commanders or Hadlar. Just celebrating winning the battle for 30 seconds and a jump cut to credits! Huh weird it sounds like the final boss is Sovereign Rock, which is an odd end point. Cause there is a battle against Mystvearn and Killvearn immediately after. Then right after that Dai duels an upgraded Hadlar which a fight that ends on a good cliffhanger and the reveal of Vearn. I feel that would have bees better stopping point for a part 1

John Wick of Dogs posted:God I've been watching through Adventure of Dai and just got past episode 74 where Hadlar is redeemed and Avan returns and it's so good. This is like the platonic ideal of shonen anime. And you still have a quarter of the series left.
