Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

My understanding is that Dragon Quest 9 was set to be a big deviation from the traditions of the series that came before it, but the instant they released any preview that this was the case the backlash from the Japanese audience boiled down to "NO DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN MY BELOVED DRAGON QU...

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

So it's actually Post-Dragon Quest? The spoilered text is the "oh yeah this is the final boss, really!" fakeout as popularized by Baramos, so while the unnamed taxi dragon isn't the only one in the game, yeah, the whole game takes place after its initial appearance and like 3/4 of the gam...

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

I've seen 1-5 LPed enough -- some on this very forum! -- that when I went to Quest a Dargon I skipped straight to 6. When you boot the game, the introductory cutscene has the hero Gohan and two other PCs, Android 18 and a guy who probably looks like somebody out of Dragon Ball but I don't know who....

Impression 1: The Jobs: DQ3 invented the Vocation system, with the Soldiers, Martial Artists, Wizards, Priests, Merchants, and the advanced Sage that you could graduate into if you practice as the Gadabout. DQ6 has a similar system with a few more basic jobs and a lot more intermediate jobs, and if ...

I've seen 1-5 LPed enough -- some on this very forum! -- that when I went to Quest a Dargon I skipped straight to 6. Which is, from my outside observation of the series as a whole, not really one of the more popular ones? Like, Dragon Quest 1 basically invented the streamlined-for-consoles RPG. DQ2 ...

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

If Mt. Zozo music isn't ear-destroying I'm curious how the music to the Underground Castle plays. It was so grating in SNES9x I had to mute the game while I was there.

The first thing I found to teach Curaga was the reward for talking to Owzer after defeating Deathgaze.

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

If you retreat from the first battle you can go to a little side area and pick up an optional recruit, then go back and fight the first battle with an extra monk in the party but if you're already stymied by needing to go to the church and talk to the priest to save your game you're not going to thi...

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

It's the same as a lot of games that seem really hard early on because your options are so limited. First fight in Shining Force you have your hero, a mage with enough MP to cast like two spells, a fighter that's too slow on his feet to actually fight anything, a healer who's useless at goblin-bashi...

Re: Hey [%target] Whatcha Playin'?

Anime is real. The exit from the first town in Shining Force has two guards flanking the gate, who both step inwards to block the way as you get close. There's a speedrun strat to wait for an NPC to wander into the path of one of the guards so that when he tries to block the gate, he is in turn blo...
