Bongo Bill posted:Dragon Quest 8 is listed as "Playable" in PCSX2, and if your computer is powerful enough you'll probably be able to get it to run faster than real-time. I don't think I would've got through 8 without doubling the speed in battle and on the world map. I like the game but it's looooong and the animations take forever. Plus if you emulate it with a good enough system you can render it at 2x or 4x the resolution which looks amazing even if it does screw up some of the text. BadAstronaut posted:Cool - I meant specifically the speedup button being mapped to something on the controller to do away with combat animations and so on. I just googled it and it doesn't seem possible to map frameskip to a joypad button. But F4 will turn it on and off so you could probably just hit it when you need to if you keep your computer out. Also late in the game when you need to chase the big birds shadow and at any of the sepia toned falshbacks you need to activate software rendering in order for it to show the scenes or the shadow.

Are points really that scarce though? I'm pretty sure I filled out three trees all the way on my playthrough. Anyways if you have the patience to savescum to get the gringham whip in the casino make sure you put enough points into whips for Jessica to get Twin Dragon Lash. That attack and whip single handedly made her my biggest damage dealer. She was regularly doing three to four times as much damage a turn as Yangus and Hero put together. The only skills I can remember that you should avoid completely are the club skills for Yangus which are widely considered inferior to both axe and scythe. I might go axe though as the Executioner ability is very useful for felling metal slimes.

Kuros posted:I believe if you get to level 99, you get 350 skill points naturally. Yeah I was curious and just checked the file I beat the game on. My guys were between level 49 and 46 and each had two maxed out skill trees and one with about 30 to 40 points in it. That is of course without spending any points in their other skills.

wocobob posted:Okay, so I've been interested in getting into DQ, and it seems like the four DS ones are the best place to start. There's a Gamestop about half an hour from where I am that has 4 for 15.00, and one that's a 20-minute walk away with 6 for Do you have any local game shops? That's how I managed to pick up my copy for only twenty bucks.

, so I can get both of those for a completely reasonable amount. The problem is going to be tracking down 5. There aren't any Gamestops nearby with a copy, and both Amazon and Ebay are selling it for disgusting prices. Does anyone know of a good way to get DQ5 for anything under 30.00?

I just want to ask this thread. Do you guys speed up the gameplay when you play these games. I've only actually played eight and four but while I had a grand time playing four in the normal way. Playing eight at regular speed was almost unbearable. That's not to say it wasn't fun, I was having a blast, but between all the animations and the encounter rate and all the dungeons I had to put the base game at 2x speed in my emulator and had it set to speed up to 4x when I was just walking around the world for my sanity and even with all that I still ended up clocking like 80 hours real time.

That's honestly pretty dissapointing. DQ isn't exactly known for it's amazing stories but I've only played 4,5 and 8 and one of my favorite things about them is the interesting ways they frame the narrative. Oh well if I'm still on a DQ kick I'll probably play it after 7...which if it's reputation is to be believed will keep me busy for decades.

Allarion posted:Finding your wife is probably your first plot goal, though figuring out where takes time. Yeah I've been looking around looking for her, the game did a pretty good job of getting me attached to her. I wish my kids weren't so weak though. This game would really benefit from having a five member party.

Terminally Bored posted:Both max out their levels early, they're good early to mid-game monsters but Saber can carry you till the final (not postgame) boss. I didn't even realize there was a max level. I want to ask the thread I think I'm going to switch it up after beating V so I don't get burned out. And V has got me in a monster raising mood, of the monsters series in english Is joker 2 my best bet or do the Gameboy games hold up. When I was a kid I had a friend who was adamant that they were better than pokemon and I'm sort of curious if he was right.

My buddy spends hours everyday playing lovely ha ha like seven sins and the naruto game. Now hes making vids on youtube of him rolling and showing farming strats. Seriously gachaa games are garbage and they infest your brain. And even if the free to play aspect was good I'm still playing a lovely phone rpg for hours and rolling to get better jpgs. There's an entire world of good rpg's you could be playing instead.

FF7 and 9 are the only final fantasies I could name a single track off of that aren't the title theme, Final Fantasy has gotta have the most overblown reputation for great soundtracks of all time.

I looked up Big Bridge Brawl it was alright but I mean it came out on the same console as... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=52k5LMdVO4I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiRIkbeY2Pc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDr_WECA6tk

KingSlime posted:It really does the series is ridiculously infantile. They can try but lol literally every single plot and subplot is about kings and queens and princesses and other child fairy tale stuff Did you play DQ5? Your watch your dad die in front of you, get sold into slavery, and your kids are forced to grow up without their father since you get turned into stone. What about that is infantile?

Are Morrie and Ruby actually good additions. It always seemed to me that adding them to the team would feel incredibly awkward, I liked that they kept the cast small and focused in 8, and adding a side character and a joke character seems strange.
