I always get stuck partway through DQ3 when you're free to explore everything. I know I'm grabbing these orbs but it's difficult to keep track of all the threads.

Does Sony have any working VR with the PS4 yet?

I think I'd go so far as to say it's a perfect example of what a box art change should be, if you feel the need to change it.

He said it's not a dragon that looks like anything in the game. I guess it kinda looks like the green dragon that guards the princess? I like the original art better but that's mostly because I like Toriyama's art style, samey faces notwithstanding. Well that, and the dragon's face on the us art is kinda hosed up looking in a way I can't quite put into words. Like... a green demon horse, it something. raditts fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Apr 3, 2018 |

The in game green dragon doesn't have wings. You can tell a lot better when you see the DQ sprite with the one from the SFC version. So yeah, the green dragon on the cover of DW isn't really in the game.

I always wanted to try it. it was alright, it managed to have the dragon quest charm despite it's gameplay failings, also amazing special attack names (the endgame infinity symbol attack being called FIGURE OF FATE, and the final boss having an evil version called FIGURE OF HATE)

Yinlock posted:alright, i've already been through this before so i won't do anything too crazy in terra incognita this time I've just picked up DQ Builders for the first time and I'm only partway through ch1 and I can easily see this happening to me  What an astoundingly compelling game. Take a building/crafting block game, and add tight goals. Appeals right to the core of my lizard brain. (e) Speaking of, can you jump the gun on room recipes through experimentation or does that await unlocks? Trying to figure out what to do with the inn sign. Also, any reason to give everyone a private room or can I just let them have their communal hovel

Ciaphas posted:I've just picked up DQ Builders for the first time and I'm only partway through ch1 and I can easily see this happening to me you don't have to unlock rooms, you're only limited via available materials. experiment away, most are easy to figure out from expanding on the recipes the game tells you and there's some really dumb/weird ones for laughs there's also no reason to give everyone private rooms, though i do it anyway because it's fun. weirdly, private rooms give no bonuses but inns give villagers a meaty hp boost. if you wanna use that inn sign put 6 straw beds in a room and slap it on the wall, it's the best you can do in ch1 since you don't have access to fancy beds yet e: but yeah it's amazing how much a difference a little bit of structure makes. it's fun building giant invincible forts to keep your npc pals safe Yinlock fucked around with this message at 06:51 on Apr 3, 2018 |

I started the SFC version of DQ2 after not having played it for well over a decade and I completely forgot to get the silver key until after I got the ship. Still remembered where to get the other keys though.

Once you get access to obsidian, you get access to a LOT of obsidian. Just make all your walls out of that, surrounded by spikes (maybe two rows of spikes if you want). Defense handled. Just keep in mind that the final boss of each chapter has your town as purely what is in bounds, and everything else temporarily vanishes. The steel stockade isn't particularly useful for the ch 1 boss either way.

Guess I'll just finish Ch1 then rather than build more defenses (town doesn't even have full walls atm lmao)

Calaveron posted:Breath of Fire 1 and 2 are better examples though Everyone on the US box art for BoF2 are just reacting to the news that dragon transformations are a one shot MP-emptying ability and not a proper transformation.  (BoF2's transformations are real dumb in that regard)

Honestly that feels like a deliberate choice; the world’s kinda gone down the shitter and especially with party chat being a thing now and having two kids it’s worth Zooming everywhere to see how things changed, which eventually leads to plot.

This game would really benefit from having a five member party.

My final party only had hero and son in the party, with a golem with a metal king sword and an apple on healing duty, and I think the sun only did buffing and oomphing for the stronger characters. I kinda expected the son to be stronger since he's the real hero and all, but nope not really.
