How would you personally rate each of the Dragon Quest games?
>>340792475
I've only played 4, 5, 6, and 8.
Of those:
5 > 4 > 8 > 6
>>340792475

Prove me wrong.
>>340792475
only played 1-5
3>4>2>5>1
Only completed 1 and 2
1>2
2 strove to improve on many things like multiple party members and enemy encounters, a bigger world, more scripted events, but bit off more than it could chew thus throwing things like tile searches and shit like Rhone at you. Better music than 1 though.
I still can't decide what version of 3 I want to play. SFC looks beautiful, but at the same time I do like the GBC aesthetics and I'd have it better access to it on the go to play in my down time at work.
>>340792475
Give me Nera or give me nothing.
>>340793661
>5 that low
>>340793373
>>340794178

>not marrying your childhood friend who actually loves you

>>340792475
7>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>everything else. I have never had an RPG last me as long as that game. Never got tired of it, either.
>>340794253
I played 1-4 when I was a kid so I love them more than 5.
it's personal rating after all
>>340792475
Just ask for faces, it seems to get people to comment better.
1 = 5/10
2 = 4/10
3 = 7/10
4 = 9/10
5 = 8/10
6 = 5/10
7 = 9/10
8 = 10/10
9 = 7/10
DQM 1&2 = 7/10
DQH = 6/10
Rocket Slime = 7/10
>>340792475
VIII > III = IV = V > I = II > VII > VI = IX
DQVII will probably be higher after I play the remake.
8>5>6>9
>>340792475
3, 5, and 8 are decent.
1, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 9 are garbage.
I regret wasting time on this series.
All of them are good.
I, II and VII are great.
III, IV, V and VIII are godly.
>>340800447
As someone who only played ix, what makes some of the earlier ones, like iv and v great? I'm always looking for new lengthy RPGs.
Which version of 5 is the best? What are the main differences between them?
>>340800904
Plot and characters. V especially is great and it spans the protagonist's entire life from child to adulthood.
>>340800925
there's both PS2 version and DS version
PS2 version has 3d graphics and orchestra ost
DS version has best girl and is portable
>>340800904
For me, the flow of the game ends up being the most important. Games like III, IV, V and VIII are so well designed, you don't even think about it. At least I didn't. While a game like II, VI and VII, you hit random difficulty spikes and have to stop and level. Not really bad, but keeps the game from being on the top of my list.
And Dragon Quest III is still the only class/job based game I have played where I didn't have to stop and grind somewhere. While also not being a pushover.
>>340800925
>Which version of 5 is the best?
Depends on opinion. I think the DS one is the best.
>What are the main differences between them?
PS2 has orchestrated music and a full 3D engine. DS has the 3D engine with 2D sprites and textures, an extra girl to marry, extra end game content, a few extra monsters to recruit, a few extra items and faster combat.
>>340801292
>>340801659
Didn't the DS version add a lot of extra party dialogue as well?
>>340801758
Probably. I honestly don't remember if the PS2 game even had party chat. Or I just forgot to use it.
Am I the only one who really liked 6? Job system was cool, I liked the story was more a series of vignettes, Dual world meant more stuff to explore, the twists in the Murdaw arc was a great opening section, and the Dread Realm was a great final level
>>340801925
It did but its so slow it's not worth using unless you're stuck.
>>340802759
VI would have been better if that fortuneteller lady could point you to your next location better
most of the find yourself arc was going around aimlessly unless you had a walkthrough
>>340802935
I agree navigation was a bigger problem, but that's also been present in all the other games too
>>340803098
in other games you only had one big world to explore
in VI you had 2 equally big worlds and with parallel version towns
>>340802759
VI was still a good game. Just didn't have the things I liked in other DQ games. It felt like they threw too many roadblocks and modes of transport at you, stifling your exploration. The ability to go underwater really only had one point in the plot and otherwise led to two very well hidden extra areas. The characters were also not as developed or interesting as past games.
I still played the game twice. But I enjoyed it more the second time when I knew where to go. Which is a bad sign for a DQ game.
>>340803786
I really like dq, and played 4,5,8,9 but I never picked up 6 because it gets shit compared to the other dq games, but I guess it's a decent game still? Are there any references from 6 in Yuusha Yoshihiko
>>340804383
>but I guess it's a decent game still?
Yes. Even the 'worst' DQ game is still well above average for an RPG.
>Are there any references from 6 in Yuusha Yoshihiko
Not that I can remember. Except the girl I guess kind of has a personality like Barbara. Yoshihiko just uses general references to the series like monster appearances or spells. Except the main character obviously looking like the hero in DQV. But I didn't even notice anything specific about DQV. The most direct reference I noticed was the whole episode focused on changing classes and the 'TeenIdol' class from DQVI and VII.
if you want to watch a show with a bunch of direct DQ references, that would be Hanamaru Youchien. Since SquareEnix was a direct sponsor and producer for the show.
>>340805060
Yeah, I was thinking of the school, as they kind of hard it in 9(i think? Haven't played it since release), also thought it might have been from 3. Apropos 3,how lobby does it take to clear that ? I'm afraid I've been spoiled by the newer games. Thanks for the tip, I'll check out hanamaru
I only just played them last year, so I've only played them once, but:
- I (SFC): Alright. Nothing special now, and even for the time it came out it wasn't great when compared to CRPGs I imagine, but it was an alright for an early entry in console RPGs I guess. Would probably like it more now that I've played the other games.
- II (SFC): Better than the first in ways, but it was also a bit of a pain in the ass for reasons everyone already knows. Fuck Rhondarkia. One of my least liked of the series, but it's still good in ways too. I don't really hate any of the games.
- III (SFC): Really good. It's what got me into the series.
- IV (PSX): Also really good. I ended up liking the chapter system despite not expecting to.
- V (PS2): Another really good one. Being able to recruit monsters was cool, but not the method in which you have to recruit them. Would like to play the DS version for Debora at some point, but I don't know, I'll really miss the PS2 version's music.
- VI (DS): Really bored me. Had some food ideas, but it felt like a slog.
- VII (3DS): Really goddamn long, but it was also good. Surprisingly it didn't really feel dragged out.
- VIII (3DS): Really good. Enjoyed the world and the characters. Debating on playing the PS2 version eventually, but graphics and censorship aside, it'll be a step back in many ways.
- IX (DS, of course): Kinda bored me at times. Not sure why it's so highly rated. It's okay, but nothing really special.
Overall, really good games, I'm glad I finally played through them. Looking forward to XI, don't care about X because I'm not into MMOs.
>>340805847
>Kinda bored me at times. Not sure why it's so highly rated. It's okay, but nothing really special.
Just like DQVIII, it was the first DQ game for many people in the west.
>>340792475
1: 6/10
2: 5/10
3: 10/10
4: 9/10
5: 10/10
6: 7/10
7: 7/10
8: 8/10
9: 7/10
I - Simple, grindy, but charming. Its age is very obvious - it's like playing one of the early Ultima games or something. 7/10.
II - Better than the first in many ways, but very flawed. Grind required to finish the game is a little ridiculous. Plot-relevant items being hidden on unmarked tiles is unforgivable. Still enjoyed it, 6/10.
III - Adored it from beginning to end, what a fucking masterpiece. Completes the initial trilogy incredibly well. 10/10
IV - Expected to like it and honestly was underwhelmed. I think the chapter system is what really brought it down for me, to be honest. Still had fun with it, but was a big step down from 3. 7/10
V - D E B O R A H
Tons of fun. Heartwarming story. Great music. What a lovely game, everyone should play it. 10/10
Haven't played the rest, plan to eventually.
I can't play the DS games the accents kill it for me every fucking time.
>>340802759
VI was the first game where the mechanics came apart at the seams without requiring you to do shit like grind casinos/rare monsters for several hours. The job system looks like an improvement over III's class system, but in reality it allowed you to pull off some insanely abusive combos with no downsides - if you wanted to have your fighters/warriors throwing out heals in DQ3 to ease up your need to buy herbs, it took major investment. That's not the case in DQ6.
>>340807026
>IV worse than 1 and 2
You explained but I still don't understand.
>>340807574
Honestly, I think the translation is a big part of why I didn't like it as much as 1 or 2.
The dialogue was often so dry in comparison to the SFC fan translations, and the terrible forced accents sucked a lot of fun out of things.
Also, apparently party chat is about half the game's dialogue, and the DS version just doesn't have it because fuck Americans right?
I also couldn't stand starting over from level 1 at the beginning of each chapter.
1 is okay I can respect it for histroical reason at least.
2 is the only DQ game I don't really like.
3 was way better then both and still one of my games in the series.
4 was alright. I liked the chapter system.
5 is pretty good and is also one of my other favorite DQ games.
6 is okay too probably gets the least love from people.
7 is..7. I look forward to the 3DS remake.
8 is really good not a favorite but still.
>>340807874
>Dry
There's a lot of things I can say about the DS localization of IV. That it's shit, for example, but "dry" is a word I'd never use.
Apparently the party chat was cut out because they wasted too much time making up accents and other shit like researching names so they could change character names, so they didn't have enough time to translate and accentize them.
I just know that Jessica ranks high on the "muh dick" scale
are the fool class worth using
>>340809990
In DQ3? Only if you wanna take the hard route to get a sage that that way.
>>340809990
The clown class in DQ3 is the only class in the game that can upgrade to Sage without the use of a sage book. Clowns are not useful by themselves though.
Here's another hot tip: Personality affects stat growth, and Sexy is by far the best one.
>>340809990
The game is pretty easy in the beginning. Putting one goofoff/fool in your party isn't going to make it that hard. I nfact, I had an easier time with one in my party instead of a mage, since a goofoff still does resonable physical damage. Its basically like have a Priest in your team that doesn't have healing spells.
Then you get to change classes 1/3 through the game, make them a sage and you're on easy street.
Bianca best girl.
I am about to start a playthrough of Dragon Warrior I-III for GBC.
Are there any tips i need to know so that I don't fuck myself over in any of these games?
I've only really played VIII so I'm not familiar with these earlier ones.
>>340810746
That she is.
>>340810778
Play the SNES remakes because they have larger resolution than the game boy color versions. Which helps exploring, especially in DQ2. Also, there is a quest in DQ2 which requires using the world leaf. And if you don't have the world leaf at the time that the quest appears, you can break the game. So once you get the world leaf, always keep it until after that quest is finished.
That's about it. Just play the games blind and have fun.
>>340810746
>>340811081
>>340811081
What makes her so best?c
>>340811239
What makes her so breast you ask?
>>340811239
Her pretty smile and beautiful figure.
>>340792475
I never played any Dragon Quest, but what I know is that for some reason, Japanese artist LOVE to make the girl on the left cheat on her husband, most of the time with a giant horse-man.
Don't know why.
>>340811480
This.
>>340811518
even Horii hates what Kon has done and plans on removing horseman on next remake
>>340811612
but please explain.
>>340811612
Elaborate please
>>340811690
>>340811964
ok, so
Bianca is one of the possible brides in the game
Kon is that humanoid horse
Kon kidnaps your bride so he can lure you to his trap
doujin artists interpreted this so that Kon raped your wife to pass time, why is it only Bianca, I don't really know
>>340811602
You'd be a fool to turn her down.
>>340811330
Yes, what makes her so breast?
>>340812071
I know.
>>340812087
Very good genetics.
>>340812067
I see. Still, I've seen TONS of doujins depicting that specific part.
I wonder why.
I don't really understand the appeal of Dragon Quest.
Every game for me is just, "Alright."
>>340812389
japs love NTR for some damn reason
>>340812263
MC must have had the time of his life on his wedding night.
>>340812604
Oh. Yes he did.
>>340812263
I don't know why but this is my favorite picture of her
>>340812359
It's what makes her the perfect wife for mothering your children.
>>340811239
She has the tomboy charm and smoking hot body of Deborah, but with the sweet dere personality of Flora. She's basically the best of both girls in one character. Only thing that would make her better is if she was a brunette instead of blonde.
I want to play dq8. should i just play the ps2 copy i have, wait for the 3ds version or emulate it?
>>340812885
I will always envy him.
>>340812967
My thoughts exactly. Perfect woman will produce perfect children.
>>340811518
The monsters in the DQ games have the most personality of any monsters in an gaming series. Let's put it this way. As iconic as a Gooma is in Mario, they still don't have the charm and development of a slime in Dragon Quest games.
So doujin authors love taking these enemies, which have a lot of development and personality, and making bestiality porn of them. It would be paramount to having a game focused on ancient greece, and the Minotaur boss you fight was on equal footing to Theseus and Minos.
>>340812604
He had such a good time, he was able to impregnate Bianca so hard, she gave birth a week later.
>>340813194
>>340813194
And perfect breasts to have milk sucked from to have them grow up in perfect health.
>>340813398
He put a delayed baby in there when he was a kid
>>340813398
With twins none the less.
>>340813073
Up to you. If you can wait, wait. The 3DS version has worse graphics and some outfits of Jessica's are censored (plus a few other things involving tits and legs, as well as a couple things not related to sexual things), but it's really small, and all the other extra stuff makes it worth it.
>>340812473let's not kid ourselves, this board also loves it
I like erinn
We're getting a release date for VII next week...right?
>>340812067
Probably because doujins started doing that stuff when Bianca was really the only choice.
>>340813948
Hopefully.
>>340814020
She never was though
>>340813948
Ha ha ha..Maybe.
Nah.
>>340813853
The new girl in Dragon Quest XI looks and acts a lot like her. I want to see more of her. I hope she's a companion character and not just someone in the starting town.
>>340814068
She basically was. Flora in the original was extremely underdeveloped, existing almost as a trap for them to make the player feel guilty for wanting quick riches.
>>340814129
got a pic
>>340813853
where is this from?
>>340814654
mosnster battle victory, I think
>>340814638
Watch the reveal trailer here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuGcpSCkyfk
>that crazy fluid animation for a 3DS game
>>340813853
I don't remember Dragon Quest IX looking like that.
>>340815074
Wow, that looks great.
I wonder what will be different between the 2 versions
>>340815417
that's not DQ9
best version to play dq 3?
i heard a lot this game have one of the best videogame endings ever
>>340815502
The PS4 version is going to be full 1080p with designs like Dragon Quest 8 and 10. The 3DS game is going to be both full 3D (like the DQMonster games) and 2D (like the DS remakes). With the player having the option to choose which style they prefer and the game plays in that style.
I haven't seen this much detail put into a console/handheld hybrid game since well, Dragon Quest I-III remakes.
>>340815936
Get the mobile version
>>340815074
I love the idea of the overworld. If you prefer the 3d version you get pre-set encounters along a path, if you prefer 2d you get to stumble around and get "random encounters" that way.
>>340815074
Ema a cute.
By the way, what version of DQ XI are you guys looking forward to more? I'll probably play the PS4 version first, the outside environments look so nice, but the 3DS version has a certain charm that draws me to it too (the 3D parts anyway, the 2D bits look pretty bland).
>>340816206
PS4 probably since my 3DS' A button is ded
>>340816206
If the PS4 version can duplicate the amazing overworld and design of Dragon Quest 8, it will be the best version by far. If not, then I'll probably end up preferring the 2D version on 3DS. But Dragon Quest XI (and X) are really the only games I am blindly putting my absolute faith in. If we actually get to play them that is.
>>340816725
>If we actually get to play them that is.
Don't worry, you will. I started studying Japanese three years ago and all sorts of "Never ever" games are getting localized now.
>>340816206
I guess PS4.
>>340817723
Oh my.
>>340817934
Bianca is an adorable wife who would show her adorable panties to her lovely husband every day of the week.
>>340818114
Lucky.
>>340818114
I know she promised somewhere in the game that she'd give him a titfuck... was it daily or weekly? Let me see if I can find it.
>>340818275
Incredibly lucky. No woman would make a better housewife.
>>340818114
That lucky bastard.
>>340818486
No, wait, I must have confused it with all the porn. She promised to give him Puff-Puffs.
>>340818642
That's not so bad.
>>340818486
>>340818642
Here we go. Sorry, it's in Japanese, but:
> ぱふぱふなら私がいくらでもしてあげるのに!
"I'll give you a puff-puff whenever you want!"
Not sure when she says that, I didn't see it when I played the game.
>>340818642
Fuck, thanks for getting my hopes up.
>>340818631
He gets to grope those D+ jugs and ram that pussy at his discretion, and she'll adore him all the while.

Yeah, paizuri's are a bit too lewd to mention in DQ games, puff-puffs and Egyptian queens touching her servants in inappropriate places are as far as it goes.
>>340818905
I bet she even holds his hands while they do it.
>>340819228
It's what any good, demure wife would do for her husband.
>>340819396
Fortunately, I think anyone with the right mindset would realize what they meant easily enough.
>>340819439
SICK FILTH
>>340820000
Of course.
>>340820087
Absolutely anything, like a borderline maid.
>>340820683
Good girl.
Wouldn't Nera/Flora be the true sub
I am playing DQ1 for the first time right now. What should I know?
>>340821057
That you have to make a new thread.
>>340820769
Bianca knows to be a good girl for her husband's love. She'd sooner dress like a literal maid than do anything that doesn't make him happy.
>>340821057
Anytime you cross a bridge, the enemies get stronger.
>>340821057
Don't get cocky and travel too far. You'll get fucked over pretty bad.
Blonde looks bad on the kids
>>340821605
That is a real shitty opinion you got there.
>>340821239
Right.
>>340813398
When the wife falls over in the snow and you think she's sick, then you find out she's pregnant, the first thought I had(and I'm sure everyone else did) is when did they find the time to have sex? They're too busy running around and adventuring.
>>340821823
Don't do it...

Indeed.

Probably not the best thread for this, but what is a good RPG to play for someone who's only real experience with RPG's is western stuff.
Doesn't have to be a dragon quest game. I'd prefer it to be playable on PC but I have a 360 and PS3 as well.
>>340823809
Anytime.
>>340823870
the best starting point is always Chrono Trigger
go play that shit now
Dragon Quest is good when you've developed a taste in turn based battles, so don't force yourself
>>340823408
I used Aurora, Bianca, Terry, and Jessica. Didn't game over once, not even against Zoma.
>>340823975
Actually Chrono Trigger is probably the only JRPG I've played. Any other recommendations? I heard DQJoker was good.
>>340823870
Chrono Trigger is the quintessential first JRPG for most people. And if you end up liking it, the Dragon Quest series is made by the same people. After those, I would suggest Suikoden I-III.
>>340792475
5>1>3>7>4>2>8>6>9
>Also
Even when I married Bianca I still likes more Nera, and Dragon Quest Heroes just makes her better.
>>340824073
>I heard DQJoker was good.
It's okay. You might want to consider Monsters though.
>>340824073
DQM Joker 1 could be a good start but dear god it's grindy
best starting points for DQ is always DQ4, 5 or 8
or you could give Pokemon Mistery Dungeon a try, it's pretty damn good
>>340823890

>>340816206
I'm not home as often as I'd like to be so the 3DS version would be great if they decided to bring it over. I really like how you can play the game in 3D and 2D, basically making it two games in one. They just need to convince Horii to let them put DQ 1-3 on the eshop or release a collection like they did for the Wii so you can literally play the entire franchise on the 3DS (4-11 can be played on a Japanese 3DS).
>>340825912
Can't be helped.
>>340826021
But how to deal with it?
>>340825912
Turn on Japanese voices.
>>340826323
Just try to tune it out best you can.
>>340826415
Okay, guess I'll do my best. For her.
>>340826774
Good.
>>340825912
I don't mind it honestly
>>340826848
She's worth the effort.
>>340826893
Maybe it'd just take some time to get used to. What kind of accent is that even?
>>340827115
Russian
Tomboy Tsarevna, remember
>>340827167
Okay. I thought it seemed pretty unfamiliar.
>>340827115
A 1930s Hollywood impression of a Russian person speaking broken English.
>>340827785
That's probably why it bothered me. I'd at least prefer authentic.
>>340827887
She's ultra cute in casual clothes to.
>>340828179
Yes she does look nice in them.
>>340812389
>>340812473
because it's a scene where it's very easy for the mind to wander and imagine the kidnapper abuse his victim, even though absolutely nothing about the scene implies anything of the sort happened. it operates on the old-timey notion that when someone gets kidnapped, the bad guy simply keeps her in a cage and waits for the hero to come try and save her.
it doesn't help matters that everyone loves bianca and her character adores the player. that makes it even more vulnerable to NTR perversion, because it thrives on a relationship being destroyed.
>>340828275
To be fair, she's adorable in anything.
>>340828673
Yes.
>>340827167
Reminder that Alena does not have a Russian last name in the original game. She in fact doesn't have any last name. That was added by the localization team just to make the accent.
>>340810746
Bianca forever raped by a horse
>>340829147
Also reminder, Alena is based on how the Japanese say the word 'Arena'. And she ends her chapter by fighting in an Arena.
>>340828851
>>340829358
>>340829651
Jeez, it's almost alien seeing Alena without her hat.
>>340829938
I know.
>>340830039
It's a cute look, but at the same time, it's like a part of her.
>>340830342
Pretty much.
>>340830402
Aww, you took one of my last ones. I somehow don't have many DQ girls.
>>340829938
At first, I thought she was a mage because of that hat.
I was a little bit wrong.
>>340830563
That's why I'm here.

how did Barbara become Ashlynn? I thought VI's localization was fine for the most part epecially after IV and V, but that made no sense
>>340830817
You're welcome.
>>340831090
Because they can.
That's all I can think of.
>>340831170
I do however, have lots of Maya and Meena
>>340792475
Nera is the best wife and this cannot be denied. Unlike Bianca who merely gives you Super Saiyan kids, Nera gives you Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan kids.
>>340812389
I believe it's even worse in the original script. I forgot what happens exactly, but in the original DQV if you marry the other lass instead of Bianca, the latter has a terribly shitty life afterwards.
Being Bianca is suffering.
>>340831514
That's good.
Hey anon. Mind if I ask something?
>>340831090
Richard Honeywood, the guy who came up with the idea for dialects, made a 'localization bible' for the DQ games. In which he compulsively changed every single characters name. Even characters from DQ games he hadn't worked on. Like how Moonbrooke became 'Princess Princessia' and all the characters in DQVI. When 8-4 took over localizing DQVI, they were commanded by the Japanese branch of SquareEnix to follow the localization bible. So in other words, it was change just for the sake of change, as localizations are often famous for doing.

>>340832698
They're some of the best brown girls.Yes?
>>340832906
Yes they are.
You wouldn't to have an email would you? You seem nice.
>>340833105
I'd wife both of them so hard.I do. You have it in fact.
>>340833220
Good.Well then. Nevermind.
>>340833317
It's all good.
>>340833220
Maya would be your wife if you could afford her
Ching!
>tfw killed too many of them in IV and V
motherfucker never joined me in V and I never saw one in VI besides Mercury
>>340833787
I had one playthrough of V where the second one I came across ended up joining me.
Never had it happen again, in any of the games.
>>340833787
>The metal slime ran away
I hate you.
I had one good experience with them one time in DQ3 a whole bunch of them showed up and not single one ran.
Good times.
>>340833787
I grinded him and the regular metal slime for hours and all I had to show for it was a overpowered team.
>>340833596
Anything for the gold huh?How far would she go for extra?
So what do people think about the constant punnery of DQ? When I played IX I felt it was a little silly, although I wasn't too bothered by it. Was the Japanese version like that too? Or is it just localisation?
>>340834860
That is purely localization. The crazy accents didn't exist in the original jap versions.
>>340834860
It's usually said that while the Jap versions of DQ games DO have puns in them. They aren't nearly as much the localizations.
>>340834949
I really wish they would drop the accents but I know that'll never happen.
>>340834860
Localization. Japanese versions have puns, and some spells are meant to sound like sound effects but not nearly to the extent the localizations go.
>>340834949
>you will never fuck sofia's brains out for the purpose of continuing her glorious legendary bloodline
>she'll just be muffdiving with that one elf chickthat they bring back to life at the end
>>340834860
Original Japanese game has some puns. But they don't translate into other languages correctly (much like Pokemon has a bunch of pun names we never get like Pikachu). However, the western localization team didn't just translate a few of the puns. They added in hundreds of new puns that weren't in the Japanese games. Trying to turn almost everything into a pun.
Dialects and accents are a whole other thing. Very few characters in the Japanese games have dialects. And the few that do, the Japanese public don't really like. Sally from DQIX is the biggest example. People were even ranting and giving Dragon Quest IX a score of 0 just because of Sally speaking in a kansai dialect. So what did SquareEnix do when bringing it to the west? They removed the dialect for Sally..and then gave tons of other characters even worse dialects. Totally brilliant.
>>340800904
III, on the other hand, is a badass dungeon and exploration game with almost no story at all.
>>340835598
Indeed. It adds a lot more time onto localizations, which would also mean more money spent. They're just making things harder for themselves.
>>340836187
Been a while since I played DQIX so I don't remember Sally. Or is that Stella?
Also:
>People were even ranting and giving Dragon Quest IX a score of 0 just because of Sally speaking in a kansai dialect.
That sounds completely moronic. Perhaps I don't get it because I don't understand Japanese Culture fully but it sound stupid
>>340836187
They gave her a valley accent in the localization
>>340836538
More work for no real reason either. The accents only work with voice acting and even then I'd rather they didn't.
>>340836675
They changed her name to Stella in the west.
>>340835693
It's a valuable bloodline that needs to be propagated.
>>340837431
Of course.
>>340835693
I played male
>>340837761
I'm sorry to hear that.
>>340837761
You really have lost out.
>>340837516
She needs to be impregnated to giver birth to perfect children so she can be quickly impregnated right after to produce more perfect children!
>>340838576
>>340838249
Playing as a bishy is superior. Fight me.
>>340839096
You'll never know the joys of female equipment or fluffy hair.
>>340833787
>Playing DQ2
>At the endgame, need to level up
>Every Liquid Metal Slime that appears run immediately in the first turn
Just kill me
>>340839161
Her hair looks incredibly fluffy. I want to fondle it.
>>340839839
her hair would be fun for head patting.
>>340840316
>Poof~? Poof poof~
>>340840013
Probably as soft as her miraculously plush breasts.
I asked this last night and got jack shit, heard someone was making a version of IV DS that uses the pretty accurate NES script as a base and adds whatever was censored, anyone know what I'm talking about?
>>340840468
I imagine that would be pretty soft too.
>>340840707
That's the first I've heard of that.
5>6>4>3>1>2
>>340840730
She just seems like a very soft, molestable girl.

Hey man, fuck you.
