I only played the original for a couple hours. Looking forward to this. I've always loved the silly rear end monsters in the dq games

i remember on ps2 getting into the big fight with the game's main villain, like 50 hours in and i thought it was the final battle with the way it was built up, turns out i was just at the half-way point and there was an entire meaty postgame quest after the actual finale. and this version has even more postgame poo poo to do in it. this is a lot of game

I'm enjoying this but I'm not getting that same adventure feels that I got with DQ7, where I couldn't wait to see where the game was gonna take me next. I don't think it helps that the game starts out with like, tragedy after tragedy lol.

In Training posted:You only need to grind if you wanna do the post game really. yeah but with random encounters, farming metal was a tradeoff since most encounters you got random crap so you end up wasting tons of time that you could be spending actually having fun lol. now you just pan the camera around until a metal slime pops up and boom free levelup

In the original there was a metal slime cave with nothing but metal slimes, so I only ever did grinding there.

I like that having the enemies on field doesnt make the dungeons hell to navigate in this one. The photo quests rule hard, especially the secret enemies that show up when you beat up 30 of a kind of enemy.

i just fought that chest boss for the big gem, did i miss something? that was super easy lol all it did was use a weak attack and try to snooze everyone, i had more trouble with some of the normal encounters. also maybe ive been getting lucky but did canniboxes get neutered in dq8 or is that only in the early game? cause mimics in dq5 would loving own you

Repeat when you reach Liquid Metal Slimes/King Metals.
