This is honeslty the biggest thing the remake needs to work on. Dragon Quest VIII is my favorite game of all time. But in the original, Jessica has little point in the story besides 'MUH REVENGE!' and 'hey, did you forget about my revenge!' and 'Man, this place reminds of me Alitsair....REVENGE!'

She needs more development besides just bitching about her dead brother every party chat. We know Medea is getting more development with two new story arcs. Hopefully Jessica will as well.
>>
>>316599596
there's more closure on her brother and some stuff with her mom when you go for the extra end but ive no clue if the base game changes any jessica story stuff
>>
Hero and Medea are head over heels in love with each other, as seen through flashbacks, journal entries in the castle, and all the dream communications they have. Just fucking imagine leaving her to princes charmless. Jessica was a great character who was solely focused on avenging her brother, with no time for bullshit. All of her sexiness, she utilized as a tool for battle. Throughout the game, there was perhaps one line which implies attraction to the Hero, were she calls him sweet if you choose 'no' to 'does this make me look like a slut?'. It doesn't make sense that she would marry Hero at all. If they're going to meddle with the original script, it would have been more satisfying to see the chemistry between her and Angelo developed more instead.

Variety is never a bad thing though so despite all that I can only give two thumbs up for this option.

One can only hope. SquareEnix making DQ Heroes dual audio is the most surprising thing I've ever seen them do. This is a company which for 15 years came up with every excuse possible not to have dual audio in the west. Even going as far as claiming 'there's no enough room on the game disk'. I'm sorry, but you have 49 GIGS. 200 MB of compressed voice files isn't going to kill the game.

>>316601031

He did say the truth. But SquareEnix threw a fit because he leaked it before they were ready. They were guilting people into buying DQ Heroes before announcing more DQ games.

7 is my favorite series and Hero.

>and prior to that they never had opposition towards it
They publicly stated they wouldn't do dual audio on any game back on the PS2. Claiming 'not enough room on the disk'. Which is bullshit. Andeven the recent remaster version of FFX on PS3/PS4 doesn't have dual audio. So its hardly like they're implementing it in every game.

Then also confirmed no dual audio for FFXIII on PS3/360 because they were afraid of Japanese players importing the PS3 version cheaper. It wasn't until the recent re-release on steam that the game got dual audio.

You're completely overlooking past history and only focusing on the last two years of SquareEnix. Which they are finally improving. But it doesn't cover up their past stupidity.

>Fatlus doesn't
Except some PS2 games like Odin Sphere where they did have dual audio. 10+ years before SquareEnix ever allowed a game to have dual audio. You are really glazing over history here to defend SquareEnix.

Dragon Quest X is the first DQ game to be made by the Square side. A lot of workers on Final Fantasy XI worked on the game. As well as the producer of Nier and the director of FFXIV: ARR (Yoshi).

Its the ultimate SquareEnix cross over team. And we'll probably never get it.

No they didn't, they never once fucking said this you fuck.

>Claiming 'not enough room on the disk'. Which is bullshit.
Complete bullshit they never once said this, and as for PS2 which is DVD, dual audio is completely different than on a PS3 which is BD, and the HD ports are ports of the original PS2 versions, not remakes or new games.

>Then also confirmed no dual audio for FFXIII on PS3/360 because they were afraid of Japanese players importing the PS3 version cheaper.
Except they released the Hong Kong version of FFXIII had Japanese audio with English Text so no.

And Type-0 HD, FFXV and more FF games have dual audio, even LR was dual audio and that is an FF13 game too, they never said they wouldn't do dual audio

>10+ years before SquareEnix ever allowed a game to have dual audio.
And compare a fucking 2D sprite game that could fit on a floppy disk to massive 3D polygon games like FF12 which was already heavily compressed as it just to fit the music and one voice track on it.

Are you deliberately fucking autistic or do you not know how file sizes work or how disc capacity works?

Where is the dual audio Persona games? Where is the dual audio SMT games? Oh right those don't count but instead a cheap 2D sprite game that is tiny file size does, you sure have no fucking clue what you are talking about and were proven wrong, you said 15 fucking years, SE has been doing dual audio for multiple years now

Holy shit, that's totally the same as releasing it in America/Europe with dual audio! Oh wait, you're a fucking idiot.

You know what's bullshit about the original? I get that you, a common soldier, Yangus, a common thief, and Angelo, an orphaned son of dead estate, are all not invited to the royal wedding. Its a matter of class and whatnot, and even if its unfair considering the two facts that you saved the world and are well-known to have saved the world, it still makes enough sense to not be bullshit.

But Jessica is known nobility. The Albert family has a long history which is traceable to the great sages, and is a family of a high enough standing to have an arranged marriage between her and the son of the Chancellor of Argonia. Argonia being the Groom's kingdom, meaning that such a connection would have added relevance. Why the fuck was she not invited?

Some games don't even have extra licensing costs. It depends on how the voices are done. If a secondary casting company was used to hire voices. If the voice actors themselves signed a contract on commission or a one time fee. Etc.

The cost is also miniscule. Say all the actors combined got an extra million dollars for the use of dual audio in the west. If the game sells an extra 33,000 copies, that million is made up (assuming the company makes $30 per game). For a game like Final Fantasy XIII that sells fucking 6 million copies? That's a drop in the bucket. And the inclusion of dual audio could have gotten more people to buy it. Like me.

Not him but I still have some hope that Xseed can somehow talk Falcom into having so it's easier for them to do dual audio. Since people have been begging Xseed for it and all they can do is that it's too expensive.

DQ9 was the only game they had marketing rights to and they pushed it so much it broke a million and became the best selling DQ game is the west, they got Seth Green to promote the fucking game, they pushed that game more than any game they owned.
Couldn't walk into a gamestop in 09 without seeing that game everywhere.

The lowest selling DQ game in the west (Rocket Slime) sold 200,000k. Most average around 350-400k. A game with actual marketing sells 1.5 million.

If SquareEnix would actually support the series with regular marketing and releases, it could easily break 2+ million. Maybe even surpass Kingdom Hearts to become their second best selling series in the west.

Just take a look at the PS2 library and find the games with dual audio. They're a complete rarity in number.

Also, Atlus region locked P4A because of it having dual audio and the reverse-importing was too probable.

As far as I know the contract was made in bulk so it would be lodsemone to get those licensing rights in the west.

There are still people who think that because they can localise the game it's completely in their right to put the audio there.

Atlus games on PS2 with dual audio - At least 3 I can think of

SquareEnix games on PS2 with dual audio - 0

I don't know why you're fighting this so hard. The original point was that SquareEnix ignored dual audio until the last two years. Which is just a fact. Its good they're finally doing it. But it doesn't cover up their past ignoring of it.
>>

This is just plain wrong.
>>
>>316611502
Nigga, it's mostly thanks to publishing Vanillaware game. Atlus doesn't give a shit about JP audio either on their own games.

None of the megaten games had dual audio on PS2, even the ones that desperately needed them not to sound stupid as fuck (Purseowner 3 & 4).

> But it doesn't cover up their past ignoring of it.
And again, barely anyone did dual audio before gen 7. It was rare as fuck and playing through games from 6 & 7th gen you'll notice that quickly. Even for NDS games it was rare.

Oh I know Xseed can't really afford it. Just a small bit in my mind hoping that since Xseed and Falcom has been being so close Xseed can somehow convince Falcom to get new contracts so they can start using dual audio. Xseed does hear people asking for it but it really is beyond their ability to get it.

What? Making assumptions about what? You're the one making assumptions that dual audio is a real game seller when in reality only few are autist enough to decide not to buy a game because it doesn't have it.

>Atlus still paid for the localization.
Pretty irrelevant when Atlus won't do dual audio on Atlus' games. P4A is the exception and it was region locked out of fear of reverse importing.

I'll repeat: prior to 7th gen dual audio was really, really rare. It's stupid to cry about SE ignoring it when pretty much everyone did so.

I'm almost sure Tom wish they could put dual audio in their games. Xseeds are weebos as fuck and they know their audience.

But Xseed can't really do anything about it because of how small they really are and that Falcom signs contracts that basically stops any dual audio.

Well, I haven't played the PS2 version, but I never got the impression that they were particularly close, so I doubt it. I actually didn't even get the Jessica ending, but I've read that you need to go see a scene with her and the Hero at her place at some point and I think you get an heirloom of her brother's. Not sure if that was in the original version or not.

When you refuse to play the game or pirate it because it doesn't have the language setting you jack off to you're not even giving it a chance.

Sometimes the chance to include dual audio is out of the localisers control and it's babyrage tier whining to complain about it and act entitled over it.

>if I keep saying autist in every post, them my point will be taken more seriously

You're just as much to blame for continuing to respond. So shut the fuck up, all of you.

Delicious. Can't wait for DQ8 3DS

Nigga pretty much nobody is talking about the games themselves.

But if you so need a shepherd to lead you to discussion I'll start:

When will dagger be relevant? Why are they so shit? Why are status ailments so shit?

>When will dagger be relevant?

When you use Killer Juggling.

The fanservice doesn't make the game look immature. Forced sex scenes in Witcher and GTA are 'immature'. The stuff in Dragon Quest is just tongue and cheek humor taken right out of Shounen Jump series.

What is immature is the dialects and puns the western games keep getting. SquareEnix just don't know what western fans want as a whole. Want to make a game appeal more to the west? Have more revealing costumes and less cheesy puns. Instead, they do the exact opposite.

Pokemon is more sexually suggestive than Dragon Quest. And it certainly doesn't hurt its sales. It pretty much has been proven to improve sales.

Stop holding DQ to such high pedestal.

Right above your post is a whole discussion about the level of fanservice and alterations in Dragon Quest VIII.

All you have done this whole thread is bitch about other people not talking about the games or ganging up on you. While magically ignoring posts that actually talk about the games. You're the problem and you should leave.


>When will dagger be relevant? Why are they so shit? Why are status ailments so shit?
Dagger was relevant in DQVIII. Dragon Quest is one of the few series where status effects actually work on bosses and high level mobs.

All you're proving is you know jack shit about the series. Get out.

Can't even find info about that skill.

>>316619965

Right after you stop ignoring the content of people's post to keep your trolling train going.

There's nothing immature about sex, cleavage,etc. What's immature is making a big deal of it and acting like it has to be removed or edited.

It's fucking ridiculous how the most popular TV show (GoT) and book (50 shades) are smutty as fuck and yet you dickheads are prudish as nuns.

It's Gelda's (Red) 100 point Dagger skill and it's absolutely devestating if you raise her tension to 50 or 100 (or even less for weaker enemies) and use it. Use Bikiruto (Oomph?) and most enemies won't have a Snowball's chance in Hell of surviving.

>Dagger was relevant in DQVIII.
No it wasn't.

Whip/Staff/Wand (Especially whip and Twin Dragon Slash early on) outclass it so much it's not even funny.

> Dragon Quest is one of the few series where status effects actually work on bosses and high level mobs.
Yeah, sure. By status effects I don't mean stat lowering.

>>316620307
Ah so it's useful in the 3DS version.

I hear it's also in DQIX on minstrel but ridiculous mana cost makes it worse.

>really have the urge to replay DQVIII after the Nintendo Direct
>know I won't want to play it on 3DS when it comes out if I emulate it now

I'm conflicted

It can be, yeah.

>>316620313

Too bad Twin Dragon Slash was nerfed. Still useful early on.

>>316620704

Just wait then. Graphics and a bit of censorship aside, the 3DS version is the definitive version.
