Let's try a positive thread.
Who's fucking stoked that we're getting these games?
Can't wait to play dressup with the new class system
>>316838072
>tfw we will never get a proper release of DQ1-2-3 besides smartphone-shit
I'm pretty excited for 7 and 8 though
>>316838072
I am. Holy shit at the announcement I was dancing with joy. I danced even harder when they said they were going to bring over 8.
>>316838072
Fuck yeah I'm stoked. Wanted to play both for a long ass time and I'm glad that I'll be able to take them on the go.
Can't wait to experience these.
>>316838072
I couldn't care less anymore, they took too long. If I end up playing it I'm buying it used so SE doesn't get my money. Fuck this company for treating western DQ fans like shit for years, then expecting us to lick their boots when they ran out of 3DS games to localize and decided to finally give it to us.
>>316838072
is there a release date for this?
>>316838072
I found out about this series years ago. I held off until DQ7 was localized for 3ds to get into them.
Best platform to start the series?
>>316839253
DQ5 on DS is nice.
DQ8 was what convinced me that JRPGs are actually generic shit, so no.
>>316838072
Please fucking buy these games, I'm begging you.
>>316838072
Pretty much the only 3ds games I'm looking forward to. I'm playing through IV right now.
Le censor meme :')
>>316838306
So each class has its own costume for each character? Sweet,
>All those shitty bait posts without answers.
Are Dragon Fags smart people who don't bite shit baits?
>>316838072
Of course, I thought they would never come. Could never beat VII as a kid, so I will be cool to go back to it.
Is DQ 1-3 on virtual console next?
>>316839001
Cool. Now go away.
>>316839001
I kinda agree, SE, or whoever is behind that bullshit is retarded. The worst part is they never confirm or deny a localization, they just say "Stay tuned for a concrete answer" which never comes.
I'll still buy it, and really enjoy it, but fuck I hate this ride SE likes to take us on.
>>316839253
Mobile versions of 4-6 are the definitive ones if you don't care about touch controls. They are otherwise identical to the DS ones, but the DS ones has lower resolution and worse music quality.
>>316838072
Nigga you have no idea. Loved the fuck out of 5/6/9 and looking forward to playing these enhanced ports. Haven't got the patience for JRPGs on console anymore
Oh, hey, what a coincidence.
I've never played a Dragon Quest before. Which one should I start with, and which version? I hear the NES version of 1 sucks in retrospective, but there's a good GBA version apparently. But that was a long time ago.
>>316841764
Well the game that got me in to the series was IX. It just did everything so right.
>>316841853
this guy gets it
I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW
But I've already waited 2 and a half years, another half a year isn't that big of a deal by comparison
>>316841764
I just finished the NES one. I'd consider it important to play if you want to see how the games that come after use it as a foundation: from the music and sound effects to the battle system. It is VERY GRINDY though, and the battles don't offer much variety: you'll be pressing the A button until you either die or win, unless you heal, which will allow you to press the A button longer. It sounds boring but the leveling up and fighting ever-more-brutal monsters will keep you addicted.
If seeing the foundation of the Dragon Quest series (and all JRPG's) is not super important to you and you still want to play the first one, then the GBC one is the one to go with.
I'm playing Dragon Quest V on DS now and while I can say it's much better than the first game, it wouldn't exist if it weren't for the original Dragon Quest. Still, it may be a better choice if you just want to play a fantastic DQ title.
>>316839892
DQ threads generally ignore obvious bait posts.
>>316839892
More like every DQ fan is pretty much in such a happy place right now it's hard to get to them.
Man, I forgot I had DQ V for the longest time. I had gotten pretty far if I remember right. I couldn't remember what to do or much about anything after a few months so I restarted and now I can't get back into it.
That was dumb of me.
Me, and I'm not even a fan. A friend of mine is a real fanboy and he tried to get me into it for a long while. I gave IX a try but something didn't click. I'm excited to be able to try out VIII, heard it's one of the best games in the series. If I end up liking it I might eventually get VII too.
>>316841608
What if my phone is one of those lesser known cheap models? Will it handle it fine?
>>316843914
I'm playing on a pretty slow phone and they work fine, but go ahead an pirate them to try out if your phone is rooted/jailbroken.
I'm playing V right now. I just got marriedto Bianca.][/spoiler
I'm currently playing III and about to go fuck Orochi up, am I even halfway through the game?
>>316844236
Anon you dundid good
>>316839070
For Dragon Quest VII, they said early summer 2016, so my guess is around June, possibly pre/post E3.
As for Dragon Quest VIII, they just said 2016, so I'm assuming that it's gonna be after VII, probably around the October-November release window.
>>316840840
is that skin or tights?
>>316838072
I am fucking hype for VII
VIII feels like a downgrade because I loved playing that on my TV and I think the PS2 version remains one of the prettiest looking games ever, but I might get it for the other, actually positive changes it got.
I'm also now relatively optimistic about the possibility of getting XI
>>316842408
I think after hearing this, I really am going to try the NES version after all, despite the grind involved. Just for the experience.
I am, fuck Cloud in Smash, I mean that was cool and all, but the announcement for VII and VIII got me more excited.
I'm even more incline to crowdfund Monsters 1&2 if they decide to go that route.
>>316845127
She wears a bodysuit underneath.
VIII looks like ass on 3ds and is censored. Fuck that.
>>316846240
>and is censored
So was the PS2 version. But wait, you woudln't know that since parroting 'censorship' is the new meme on /v/.
>>316838072
Would you look at that, they're keeping the sword "T" in the logo. For some reason, they're dropping it with VIII.
Such an odd and inconsistent thing to do, but no big deal. Wait, I mean... PRE-ORDER FOR DQ8 CANCELLED. THEY CENSORED THE LOGO, THOSE AWFUL PURITANS.
>>316846381
Man, that "T" really is off looking now that I'm so used to the sword. I barely even noticed the sword to be honest before this, but it really stands out now.
>>316846381
They coulda renamed it Dragon Warrior again.
>>316846381
Dropped
They went too far
>>316846697
Dragon Quest is Dragon Quest
But Dragon Quest Monster will always be Dragon Warrior Monster in my heart.
>>316838072
DQVII remake was one of the reasons I bought my 3DS in the first place so hell yeah I'm stoked.
so, who here marriedDeborah
>>316847986
I did. I had to. The other two will find love without you. Deborah doesn't. Also, I felt as if she had the most character development, made me really want to rescue my waifu.
>>316847986
Many including me. Three different save files, three different wives.Prefer Bianca
>>316841764
There's no real order and it doesn't matter really.
I played VIII first, then V, then IX, then VI, then IV
>>316838559
Honestly after playing DQIV on my tablet for a while it's not so bad, still would prefer regular controls though.
>>316844236
I just started and am still in the haunted castle . Really enjoying it so far.
>>316846381
>Mfw I just realized the difference between the logos
>>316838559
>tfw we will never get a proper release of DQ1-2-3 besides smartphone-shit
We got them like 14 years ago. Plus there are the NES originals.
>>316848979
They changed the font of "Journey of the Cursed King" too.
>yfw they put Dragon Warrior 1 -3 on 3DS virtual console and 4 - 9 on Wii U virtual console when 7 comes out
>>316851040
Oh man, that'd be fuckin' great.
Or maybe 1-3 GBC AND SNES.
Hell, why not do a thing where if you buy one version you get the other for free?
>>316838072
>7
YESSSSSSSS
>8
eh
already played the PS2 one, and two characters isn't enough of an incentive to replay
>no Monsters 2/Joker 3
fuck
i want these so much more than the mainline games
>>316852273
>two characters isn't enough of an incentive to replay
There is more than that though
is it SE or Nintendo that's publishing it?
>>316852748
Nintendo. SE are publishing Final Fantasy Explorers though.
terry's wonderland when ?
>>316851040MUH
>>316849182
I wouldn't even mind the NES versions at this point
being able to play all DQ games on a 3DS would be heaven on earth
>>316839431
convince me
>>316851040
That woulb be realy good
Never played these games before. Which is better 7 or 8
>>316851040
It'd probably be 1-4 NES on 3ds, and 4-6 and 9 on Wii U Virtual Console.
>>316838559
Someone clear this up for me because as far as I know these are the best versions of each game with some contradictions i've picked up here and there:
>DQ1&2: Snes/Mobile?
The mobile ones have the benefit of being official translations and are technically portable where as snes emulation on mobile/psp/3DS(?) isn't perfect
>DQ3: Snes fan translated
I'm curious of the quality of the fan translation available here. Is it %100 or some %99 bs? The Mobile and Game Boy versions have their own perks but nothing trumps the animated enemy sprites in the Snes remake imo
>DQ4: Mobile
I've actually heard great things about the mobile version of this one, something about how it has better quality music, higher resolution, cut dialogue from the DS version and it's cheaper on top of all that. What's the downside here? I'm honestly leaning on mobile for this one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CCAMcaJMo8 looks pretty great to me.
>DQ5: PS2 fan translated
This has to be the best one for obvious reasons graphically I assume.
For DQ6 it's either DS or Mobile and if it's anything like DQ4 I'll probably go with Mobile, the rest are gonna be 3DS for me.
>>316854481
DQ7 is FFV but on steroidsI'm in no way saying FFV is a bad game, in fact, it's my favourite FF, with best guy being pic related
>>316851925
>get dq1-3 gbc for 3ds
>you get a code for SNES DQ 1-3 or vice verse.
Yes
>>316854646
3DS and PSP have pretty good SNES emulators, considering that Blarg runs at 60 fps even on o3DS.
>>316854753
Blarg has low compatibility on o3DS but I'm glad that the games it does run work flawlessly
>>316854646
The downside for mobile 4-6 is that it doesn't support any third party controllers, touchscreen only. If you don't care about that, then play those.
>>316838072
>>316854646
I have the snes fan translations on reproduction carts and theyre pretty solid. Dont regret it at all.
Think of your favorite DQ game.
What color comes to mind along with that game?
What sort of emotions does it bring up?
>>316856205
>What color
Blue
>What emotions
glory, joy, adventure
dunno why it just does.
>>316856608
What game? Probably should've mentioned that in my post as well.
Mine's DQ 3, and I think of red.
Happy, adventurous, grand. I don't know if grand can even be called an emotion.
Regardless, every DQ I've played so far makes me feel really happy to play.

>>316857575

I wish Nevan had a small story arc, his party chat can be so boring.
>>316857135
That is for all of them but I guess its DQ3 as well.
Whenever I hear that overture theme I get exited and happy. I know what is coming and I am excited.
Doesn't Medea care that everyone can see her big mare vagina and asshole at all times?
>>316857304
bianca a cute
>>316850274
But a small and sad reminder of how, nowadays, fewer school systems are teaching kids how to read/write in cursive.
>>316848979
Look at the NA logos for VIII (PS2), IV and V (DS). Then lookie at the NA logos for IX and VI on DS.
>>316838072
I'm, hope we can still fight god though.
>>316858210
That overture has given me chills for years. I don't think it'll ever stop and I cannot fucking wait for VII and VIII.
I just gotta finish I, II, IV and VI before they come out next year.
>>316857706
Nice, guy. What do you like most about V?

Is that correct?
>>316858695
Yeah someone in another thread posted a video of the fight with him.
>>316858148
Nevan is pretty much the definition of bland
Horii needs to cut the fat off DQ6 if he plans to remake it again
>>316858352
>fewer school systems are teaching kids how to read/write in cursive.
What the fuck.
>American education
>>316859028
What the fuck indeed.
>>316858695
>>316858913
He's not "Zeus" now, is he?
>>316858721Deborahbut asides her, the characters interactions (mostly with the kids) felt like pure happiness even with that timeskip
I feel like a neo-DQ fan since I only beat VIII and IX, what should I go though next?
>>316860084
go through release order
the more you push aside the Loto trilogy the more you'll regret it
>>316859902
If anything they might change it to The Almighty OneI am fine if they do that, really. Though I think he is called God in the Japanese version.
>>316859934
I actually liked the kids a lot. Interacting with them and the wife felt really good and happy. If I ever have kids, I'll be sure to raise them well.
I chose Bianca, reminded me of my childhood.
>>316860084
Say fuck it and go through release order.
>>316860251
It's modern Nintendo.
They sure as hell aren't calling him God for the western release.
I hated DQVon PS2
I'm thinking of replaying the DS version to see if it fix the gripes I had with it (inventory management and random encounters rate mostly).
From what I've seen I like the graphics better already.
>>316860984
But the PS2 version has the god-tier symphonic soundtrack.
>>316859028
Well, there is no need to use cursive anymore.
>>316838072
I am, I missed the opportunity to play 7 and only watched my friend's brother play 8.
>>316859934
>>316860350
The kids were so charmingly written, from the daughter's kindness towards animals to the son'sbed wettingproblems. Really though, DQV changed my own personal stance on having kids, from "lol fuck no" to not opposed.
Its hard being possotive with all the bad news about games coming out and games just being bad when they come out, DQ7 and 8 are really some of the only games I'm looking forward too.
>>316862961
I'm just surprised at how involved I actually feel in the story. It's a wonderful feeling to see my son surpass me.
>>316854646
DQ3 SNES is solid, and completely finished.
It's Dragon Quest VI SNES that's 99%. The main game is finished, but there's a lot of little side stuff that's missing, mostly if you go back to certain towns at specific points in the game you'll be wading through a bunch of empty text boxes. Nothing super duper important is missing.
>>316839592
Jessica's outfits were changed in the Japanese release, so you can fuck right off.
>>316854646
>DQ5: PS2 fan translated
Well I guess technically it does look better than the DS version at least but while the DS version looks very nice for a DS game the PS2 version looks very bad for a PS2 game.
>>316846518
Fun fact: The original logo for Dragon Quest 3 didn't use the "Sword T"
>>316854648
>it's my favourite FF

>>316860526
Nintendo isn't handling localization.
>>316854646
3 gbc has animated enemy sprites and iirc the smartphone version is just a port of the snes version
>>316865035
Shame Iwata's gone, he would have pulled a DQ9 marketing budget out for it.
>>316858148
He's just boring period
>>316859028
Cursive is pointless.
It's only use is if you want to make shit look fancy
>>316866108
Nintendo didn't really handle localization on any of the games beyond the original on NES, but yeah they did pay for shit like advertising.
>>316860984
Not sure how it is on the ps2 but the DS games have top tier ui design. Nice, clear, smooth and fast.
Also, I don't know where people are coming from when they say the ps2 version looks the best. Bad 3D < good 2.5DD.
Plus the idle shuffle the characters do looks awkward in 3d.
>>316865035
Nintendo only localized the very first game. The rest of them were by Enix and then Square. Nintendo's involvement for the Dragon Quest games was paying for everything to bring them over and market.
And under Nintendo's publishing, the only thing to be removed from any of the games was a Mr. Popo face for your character to use in IX, which was replaced by more or less the same face sans the big lips.
>DQ7, long awaited localization coming early summer
>ZE3, long awaited final entry in the series coming summer
Please don't come out too close together, I don't want to suffer like that
>>316866381
I know, I specifically meant DQ9 because Iwata did everything to get people to notice it, you couldn't walk into a gamestop in 09 without seeing DQ everywhere.
Now DQ is found on the back of a standee for a FF MMO
>>316866554
I personally prefer the way ArtePiazza's games looked. It's nuts to think they worked on both versions of VII.
For that matter, did Square remake/port VIII inhouse, or did they hire Level 5 for it?
I'm pretty happy. I'm sad that i replayed 8 recently, because i had given up hope, but by the time it comes out, I'll have fun with it again.
I'm even more stoked that this means potentially to at LEAST get the 3DS version of XII.
>>316838072
Doesn't matter to me since I can into Nip and have never played a single Dragon Quest in English anyway, but I am happy for the fans who can't read Japanese, it's pretty great news. Here's hoping the localization isn't butchered too much.
>>316866670
I know. That's why I said Nintendo wasn't handling Localization.
>>316847986
Fuck yes I did
AND I'D DO IT AGAIN
>>316838072
i bet they are 49.99 each and digital only. Lel.
>>316867047
I found a copy of VII a week before the announcement at a local pawn shop for 15 bucks. I got to Dharma, guess I'll just wait now.
>>316867296
Would you do it in real life, knowing you'd be treated like a piece of shit every day for the rest of your life?
>>316846381
They had to change it. Kids can't read cursive. :3
>>316838072
i can emulate it with a better resolution and have no censoring
>>316867425
>not wanting a qt to spit in your face and beat you infront of the kids
Do you think they're going to get re-localized?
How much shit do you think they're going to change just for the sake of a pun?
We already know Dharma Temple is going to get changed to Alltrades Abbey again.
>>316867140
Unless they go full retard and hire the same folk who did IV, who I think was...PlusAlpha? we're fine.
Another reminder 8-4 did VI's translation, which was under Nintendo's publishing and it was a FANTASTIC translation.
>>316867621
I don't know too much about VI's localization, I just know that every name was changed for no reason.
>>316867724
That's par for the course for EVERY Dragon Quest game. Every single one. And even some translations use different names.
Angelo isn't the character's actual name, by the way.
>>316864408
Delete this.
Now.
>>316867621
>Somnia
>Grayskull
>Carver
>all kinds of other shitty puns inserted in for no reason
>fantastic translation
>>316867845
>Angelo isn't the character's actual name, by the way.
Yeah I know, I've played DQ VIII 3DS, it was Kukuru, which would be weird in English so I can understand that change to some extent. Why they changed some of them, like Gelda to Red I'll probably never know.
>>316867848
...why?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waAnqEYSzRE
>>316867945I think Red is a better name.
By the way, weren't most of VI's name changes originally from IX's translation? I don't recall who did that localization, but it wasn't Nintendo.
>>316868498
Could have been, I didn't think about that. 8-4 usually tries to be consistent, except when they don't.
>>316868330
I'm looking to play this game.
Anyone know if it's good? Also is it easy to play with the language barrier?
>>316868330
Chen, how is it that you find your way into every DQ thread, no matter what time it is?
>>316868643
Well, that would be up to Square at the end of the day anyway.
>>316857575
Stay away. The mobile version is known for terrible framerates. You're better off just waiting for the 3DS game to come over.
>>316867549
That is 8 retard. Even then the added content is really nice for 8.
>>316867425
>be treated like a piece of shit every day for the rest of your life

Will 7 have new playable characters? The winged girl or the egyptian guy would be cool.

>>316854648
thats a weird way to say FFVI
>>316873613
>Will 7 have new playable characters?
Nope.
So what toriyama waifu will we see in 7? I know 8 had some qts.
>>316867945
Gelda's kind of an ugly sounding name.
I wonder why the localization crusade hasn't touched on pokemon? 90% of the names for both the monsters and humans alike have been changed. /v/ should be frothing at the mouth.
fuck man. i just started emulating VII on my phone.
just got gabo not too long ago, and i just recently heard how long the game is, which has discouraged me from playing, so now im replaying 3 again.
i really want to replay 8, but i dont have a 3ds anymore and the mobile version sucks ass...
>>316875319
I like the sound of Gelda myself, but that's just me. It could also be translated as Geruda, but then it makes me think of a bird. And that's a good point, I've never seen anyone bitch about Pokemon name changes.
>>316875319
shhhhh don't tell them. They will lose their shit.
>>316838072
I am fucking stoked OP. I never played 7 so I am excited to play a good RPG.
>>316859902
>>316861417
>>316866302
Is it weird that i can only write in cursive
>>316875319
Probably because the names for the Pokemon themselves would be a pain in the ass to remember. Not to mention that some of them obviously only sound good in Japanese. Like Articuno being Freezer.
>>316876536
Same
>>316873613
No, but now you are smarter and wiser and can make Gabo or yourself the primary healer because neither of them ever get forced out
>>316841764
Slimes are the best
>>316867503
>>316858352
>>316867503
I'll be pissed if cursive completely dies out. That is such shit less schools are teaching it because I had to learn it back in elementary school and I use cursive now and then.
>>316879827
>>316880091
>>316841853
Maybe it's because I played IX after I-VIII, but try as I might, I just can't get into it.
>>316838072
DQ7 I'm excited for as I never really got to play the original.
8 I'm eehhh on since I experienced the original the the fullest already.
I hope it also means we get Monsters Joker 3.
>>316877895
But it squanders the developers intent! How dare NoA decide what they think is better.
All the common arguments against localization changes can be made towards pokemon.
>>316839745
Yes indeedlydoodly
>>316881364
Thats optional, right?

>Fragments of the Forgotten Past

Nope.

No, I am a faggot who would prefer to leave the little boy in his cute green outfit.
Is the 3DS DQ8 good or should I just emulate the PS2 version?
>>316881758
How important are graphics to you?
3ds has lots of gameplay improvements and extra, significant content but it looks worse
>>316881758
the systems will mostly be the same, though the 3DS will have extras you won't get.
>More costumes
>Red and Morrie as playable characters
>quality of life adjustments
>instant alchemy
>a new post-game dungeon
Tell me about Red in the remake.
I know her weapon set includes Knives, Whips and Fans, but does she exclusively use Knives (with knives expanded to continue to be useful) or does she go the Jessica route and knives are "something you only have to use until you get your knife mastery up enough to use swords"
>>316881586
What game is this from again?
>>316882317
DQ Monster Battle Road 2 Legends for arcade
or the jap only Wii port, Battle Road Victory
The normal animations are really cinematic too

Is the plot altered sufficiently enough to have Red and Morrie joining make sense or is it just like "lol here's a party member that may as well not be here like the entire party of Dragon Quest IX"
>>316881758
3DS version features:
- Can speed up battles
- Two new dungeons (one is short and just an excuse to get one more Mercello scene in the game, the other is a bunch of copy/pasted boss fights with buffed up stats)
- On screen enemies
- Automatically have maps of all dungeons except the Eternal Dragon's.
- New equipment
- Morrie and Gelda (Red) are playable now and are pretty damn cool (especially Gelda)
- Twin Dragon Strike (not sure what the English name is, Jessica's whip skill everyone loves) is nerfed.
- Worse graphics
- Voice acting (though the English version had that)
- Orchestral soundtrack (Which the English version had)
- More costumes for Jessica (some old ones censored, though the bunny suit it even more revealing). Everyone else has at least one costume, some have 2-3.
- More prizes from the Medal Princess
- New photo quest
- Can see how much exp you need to level up from the menu
- New rank in the Monster Battle Road
- New ending(s) with Jessica
- Can save anywhere
>>316882727
specifically the new ending is that you can cluck Medea and marry Jessica instead.
>>316882542
Thanks man
>>316882542
oh hey I forgot this one from last time
>>316882306
I honestly don't know how viable knives are in general, I always used Gringham's whip until I wanted something to die, then I'd give her a sword (since she can equip them with enough points in knives) and would then have her use Killer Juggling, her 100 point Knife skill. It kills the fuck out of things, especially with tension 50 or 100. Oomph her if you want to be extra mean.
>>316882685
Not really. Complete Monster Battle Road Rank S and Morrie's like "Boy! You're a badass! I'm gonna journey with you and get stronger!" After a certain mandatory dungeon Gelda says that you smell like treasure and she's going with you.
>>316881586
Japan sure does love their upskirts
>>316883043
>she can equip them with enough points in knives
Boo.
Why not make flails a unique weapon class for her? Hell the flail she gives yangus is hers.
>>316883043
Damnit, that is the worst thing.
I don't mind extra characters, but at least have them being there make sense, damnit.
IX is one of my favorites. It took everything that was fantastic about III and made it better
Some people complain about the generic party members, but III being the first one I played, it didn't bother me at all. Plus the NPCs more than make up for it. All of the substories involved with each town/fruit are really well done and interesting. Depressing too. Is there a DQ game more melancholic in tone than IX? V was pretty close
I came at the thought of playing 3DS version of VII desu
won't get my hope too high but it seems like the perfect game for me based on the info I have and the japanese LP I've seen
feel quite indifferent towards VIII because while it has new content the game going to be a downgrade graphically and I do prefer to play on console over a tiny screen
>>316883043
So basically Morrie is an optional party member that requires a long sidequest while Red joins you after that dungeon that you go in for her and fight trap box
>>316883043
It's kind of funny that she joins you there, right after saying that she's not that great at fighting and beaten beaten by Captain Crow in three seconds, yet she's a badass after joining you. Then again she had like, 100-115 skill points she never spent on her own.
>>316883515
Basically, but they're both really worth it. Gelda for stealing and killing things, and Morrie for some great claw skills and a skill that helps out with Metal Monster grinding.
So is it Gelda or Gerda or Red
What the fuck
>>316881617
I kind of like them
>>316883808
It's Gelda/Gerda in Japan and Red in the US.
What if there's a DQ game with FF5 job system
>>316883808
ゲルダ. It transliterates to Geruda, which is a fine translation. It can also be translated as Gelda. She was renamed as Red in the English version. I've only played it in Japanese so I'm used to her Japanese name.
>>316884042
There is.
It's called Dragon Quest IX.
>>316883406
I always feel DQ IV ending a bit...weirdIs Hero's childhood friend an illusion in the ending since he feels guilty by her dead or some shit? or maybe she wasn't real at all?
>>316884209
>>316884042
DQ7's remake also revamps the job system it had where each job has individually retained levels.
Oh wait I'm sorry this is DQ with fluffed up words so it's a VOCATION now.
>>316884545
I just assumed she was restored to life as a sort of reward for saving the world. Fuck everyone else in the village though.
>>316883406
>Is there a DQ game more melancholic in tone than IX
Each game has its moment
VI is so fucked up I don't even know where to begin
VIII has that one guy rampaging every sage (especially the old lady scene)
And V is literally suffering, the game. At least the MC end up happily ever after
is there a dragon quest where i can play the demon lordß
>>316885536
DQ4
post game
>>316885536
isn't the minecraft clone dragon quest where you join the dragon lord
>>316885675
only in the playstation/ds/mobile versions
>>316885527
>At least the MC end up happily ever after
Don't kid yourself, his family probably all got cancer after they got back from the Demon Realm.
>>316838072
I'm fucking hyped, never played 7 or 8. Why would there be a negative thr... oh it's /v/
Hope its a good thread anon. Just passing by
>>316886059
Threads were positive at first. They gained too much attention so other anons had to step in.
I'm hyped for DQ7 because I've never played it and it looks rather decent. Not really hyped for DQ8 remake because downgraded graphics and censored outfits.
Why is DQ7 hero a manlet
>>316882727
>the other is a bunch of copy/pasted boss fights with buffed up stats)
Boss rush? Sold
>>316883420
Is that picture from Gintama?
>>316887592
Yes
>>316887186
The benefits far outweigh the censorship and the graphics.
>summer 2016
is the release date for both games or what..
>tfw cant' hibernate for 6 months
>>316887925
Not to me, I have higher standards than you. Most of the gameplay changes aren't interesting anyway, especially shit dungeon that just recycles enemies and new useless characters.
I hope there's a cool limited edition for both VII and VIIII'm such a fag for LEs and DQ
>>316838072
Damn somehow I didn't realize they also announced DQVIII.
I've never played VII so I'll definitely pick it up.
>>316884209
But DQ9 discourages you from re-classing unless you want to grind like mad.
>>316887401
He is 12 years old?
>>316887401
It's probably because he's a child
>>316888148
>Higher standards than me
Sure, keep telling yourself that if you want, I pirated the game anyway. It was because of CERO, that's a bit different to me than censoring things because they didn't want to piss off soccer moms. And
>Faster battle speed
>Instant alchemy
>Two fun new characters with very different playstyles
aren't interesting. The new dungeons aren't very interesting though, I'll agree.
>>316888770
This. One of the reasons I can't get into the game.
>Unlock Magic Knight
>Switch Mage to Magic Knight
>Scaled EXP means it's going to take awhile to grind back to where she was at before.
It wasn't so bad in DQ III because EXP wasn't scaled. What the fuck where they thinking with DQ IX? I'm just going to wait a few years and hope a remake that irons out most of the problems with the game comes out.
>>316889118
Don't take censorship crusaders seriously.
It's just a fad and will die over within a month or two.
Nobody gave this much of a shit about censorship/localization until fairly recently.
>>316889118
aren't interesting?*
>>316889274
To this day I still wonder why exactly EXP was scaled backwards.
It had to have been a mistake.
>>316889297
I've always been extremely outspoken about censorship, and I'm the guy he's responding to. I'm actually happy to see people bitching about it, though I fear it's just a passing fad like you say.
the Monster party in VIII felt so half ass compare to V but thats probably intended
I mean is it really that hard to let you have monster with level and can equip items?
>>316889439
>though I fear it's just a passing fad like you say.
It clearly is. Until recently, censorship was only ever brought up occasionally or just laughed at.
>>316889565
It's a different kind of system on purpose. Monsters were primarily for the arena. The summoning was just a neat ability they gave as a reward.
>>316889380
I wasn't complaining when Metal Babbles kept giving more EXP the more I killed them.
>>316889798
But they give lower leveled party members less EXP.
Defeating the whole point of scaling EXP.
>>316889719
>or just laughed at.
And that's really depressing. Most people just don't understand the consequences of supporting censorship until it's too late.
>>316890058
The threshold for leveling up was smaller the lower the level, you wouldn't need to gain as much EXP from a fight to level as you would if you were higher level. It was so when people played together higher leveled players would still find lower level fights "worthwhile". Or at least that's what I told myself
>>316890265
I don't mean laughed at as in the people complaining were laughed at.
The changes themselves were laughed at in a "wow this is dumb" sort of way.
>>316890452
The point is that they should level up much faster than the higher leveled characters so they catch up. They understood this in '88, I don't know how they fucked it up 21 years later.
>>316890709
But they do, they catch up quick because the threshold for leveling is only thousands rather than tens of thousands or hundreds. When you kill a Metal Babble at level 1 you only get like 7000~ EXP. But that's like 13 levels. When you kill one at level 40 you get like 26000~ EXP But it might take you two kills to level once. Would you really want to be in the 50s, on your 4th class, and getting less EXP from fights every battle. Could you imagine fighting fucking King Metals in the 80s and getting 10000~ EXP. Or Plat Gem kings and getting less than 100 grand? EXP scaled upwards to make there be less needless grinding
>>316891150
All I know is that it was faster to get caught up in 3 than it was in 9.
>>316891317
I can't comment on 3 as I have yet to play it. But I can imagine the the thresholds are higher in 9 than 3 because PlatKings don't exist to give 255 thousand+ EXP a fight
>>316891634
In III all you have to do is find some Hagure Metals, use Dragoramu to turn into a dragon an guarantee you kill any remaining in the second round, and get tens of thousands of exp each battle, leveling to like, level 30 in 20 minutes maybe.
>>316889297
I can understand Fatal Frame 5 and XCX because it was censored in the west and that makes me mad, but as for DQ8 that's just how it is in Japan. I'm kinda disappointed Jessica's costumes were change but it's the least of thing to be upset about now. Even if it was kept in I really don't feel like replaying DQ8 again, besides the visuals got downgraded. I am looking forward to 7.
>>316891634
Got my Sage to about level 30 by just grinding regular end game enemies in about half an hour.
Didn't even need Metal Babbles
>>316838072
>Games that I can already play in English
Yeah, real fucking excited.
Fuck Square-Enix. Call me when they give us a real Dragon Quest game. You won't need my number.
>>316882942
2cute
I think I'm gonna get DQ7 but that shitty PS2 port of 8 can go fuck itself.
>>316892584
>Graphics fags
>>316867425
It's worth it for her smile.
And besides at the end of the game she tells you that from the bottom of her heart she is glad that you decided to marry her and that she honestly loves you.
I mean shit man how could you not marry her again and again?
>handheld
No fucking thanks
