Bongo Bill posted:It's hard not to see 6 as a prototype for the masterpiece 7, since its most notable aspects (its extreme bigness and the gradual, unconventional unfolding of its plot and mechanics) were outdone by its successor. But the very things often seen as its weaknesses are actually the reasons why it owns. Neither 6 nor 7 is for one who is hesitant. 3, 5, 8, and 11 are the more approachable crowd-pleasers, which may help you overcome such hesitation if you experience it. never thought of 6 that way but that makes sense from what I remember. I forgot both have the same flow to the plot in rudimentary ways but 6 at least has the positive of getting the ball rolling early on imo whereas 7's original release is painfully slow The 3ds remake is great though

6 feels like they wanted to make it big and non linear but didn't actually put in side content to do so it's just a linear game with extra stumbling around.

Enjoying Erik's hosed up NY/euro accent really brings me back My only criticism is the faster battles means every animation is sped up as well which looks weird af. Going to leave it on normal speed for now since I kinda wanna slow burn this

Spent my sick day grinding some levels and made it all the way from Cobblestone Tor to the end of the Kingsbarrow and I'm having a blast all over again For some reason I thought one of my playthroughs I did entirely with great swords for the hero but according to my second save file I think I swapped to boomerangs at some point? Think I'm gonna do great swords for the hero and go dual knives for Erik, that sounds fun The voice acting in this game is loving god tier, DQ8 had great actors too

Good soup! posted:Spent my sick day grinding some levels and made it all the way from Cobblestone Tor to the end of the Kingsbarrow and I'm having a blast all over again From what I remember you can safely play around with builds once you hit a certain point.You basically just want to stick to 1 build at first for the bonuses and skills in the early game to make things easier

drat I had forgotten you can just rebuild at almost any time, what a great feature. I stuck with boomerangs by the end out of pure nostalgia now that I remember but I love just wrecking monsters with two handers and some of these abilities are crazy good (the chopping one that attacks everyone in a line and deals what looks like equal damage lol that rules)

Are the claws any good? Haven't really hosed with em at all since Rab seems better focused on magic and I like the spear on Jade

Claws also get MP Regen which is nice. I used them on rab on my most recent playthrough and they worked great. Pearly Gates also scales with strength, so good claws juice that damage a lot

It's pretty hard to gently caress up IMO. I went full whips with Sylvando for awhile before switching back to swords, which is obviously not ideal, but it never got in my way. I'm still at the end of Act 1 though, got interrupted by Infinite Wealth.

serena in spears owns, especially since she gets metal slime killers. her healing is crazy good by default and wands are just icing dq11 is the best ----------------

Yeah, the reason to go with wands would be to equip shields, not to make her healing spells imperceptibly stronger.
...but is it art?

I'm not grinding at all or really looking for fights outside of logging new monsters in the bestiary, so boss fights are pretty hairy even on normal mode. One of my party members has eaten a crit and died the turn before beating the boss the past like 3 times lol Two of them was Erik, RIP

Hitting that sweet spot in Act 1 where the OP lineup is MC/Erik/Jade/Sylvando and never looking back. Encountered hella liquid metal slimes in the Phnom Nonh dungeon that boosted the entire squad by like 5 levels. Hustle Dance Sylvando aquired. Fisticuffs Jade hits like a loving truck. Let's go.

wtf, does Erik lose his memory in the original game? Maybe these were all cutscenes or told to you after reuniting with your party. idk. I'm just really confused right now
