Bongo Bill posted:I use my imagination a lot when playing Dragon Quest. Yeah, that's probably far deeper than the original writer intended, especially as the game makes it blatant that there really are right or wrong choices. But that's the norm for early jrpgs, older FF fans have the same imagination-gone-farther-than-the-plot in FF4-6, too. Mister Roboto fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Mar 5, 2012 |

Leofish posted:As the game progressed, the motivations for the characters changed, and I made their skill and vocation choices reflect that. Yeah, and I think this is part of the reason there's so many angry rageouts about how  SQUARE ENIX RAPED MY CHILDHOOD WITH GAY GIRLY MEN HEROES NOT LIKE WHEN I WAS A KID It's just not the same experience anymore, because the characters aren't blank slates for you to project yourself into.

Corrosion posted:I enjoyed Dragon Quest IV on the DS quite a bit more. I'd really like another version 3, though. My experience with the DS titles has been nothing but positive, and it definitely made me realize that I didn't give enough credit to what these type of games are capable of presenting. There's the SNES 3, which is close to the DS's 4.

penguinmambo posted:While he probably only has a art credit for it, it's a safe bet anything using Toriyama's stuff is prolly more interested in the joke part of a boobjoke than the boobs. Sounds about on par with how Bulma worked (ie well liked. intelligent long running character who was sort of stuck as The Girl for a long asstime so often was at the buttend of some jokes) Well, that and the female characters constantly get lingerie as armor since the early Dragon Quests. Specifically playboy bunny-like, especially at the casinos. Horii has pretty much stuck his vices into the games, his love for gambling is well known and Dq9's tanned fairy Stella is rumored to be based on his current mistress.

The best part is how ALL of the main heroes are exactly the same, wielding the usual one-handed sword and Gohan hair. You could probably swap the colors of their clothes and really confuse people at first glance on which game they're the hero of. With the exception of 7, who has his little hood that makes him stand out.

Gloam posted:It's likely that they'll have post-game stuff. Another post I read suggested that you may be able to transform from Human to Tribe depending on the situation after a certain point in the story. I imagine the presentation of the story will be similar to DQIX, not overly focused on the hero or his party, moreso on the troubles of townspeople etc. Sounds like every Dragon Quest, really. Yes, fine, with the always-mentioned exception of 5.

voltron lion force posted:That's cool... but I thought everyone always said 7 sucks? It's got absolutely terrible pacing so it's twice the length of other jrpgs just from sheer grinding. Also has a very large amount of the usual unrelated-to-plot DQ small town sidequests, more than any other in the series. But if you like that sort of oldschool jrpg style, go to town.

Blind the Thief posted:Well, DQV is on hiatus, it seems. Was about ten hours or so in -- got to the town with the casino and was having a blast gambling, and the cartridge glitched out and erased my data. No big, this happens sometimes, right? Well now, the game won't play for more than 15 minutes without freezing and erasing the data. Gonna have some tough times with the early battles, for sure, but it'll be a fun slog. I've seen that cartridge glitch before...a buddy of mine and I went to the comp sci lab and opened it up and it's actually fixable. I'm not the expert but it's something to do with how a specific power strip is really flimsy but can be stretched to get the game going again for a while.

I don't want to give you false hope about the cartridge...I think my buddy got lucky and just soldered something convenient. If the little internal battery's going, it's gonna go eventually. As for the DQ3 thing, hey, it's your game, haha, just that early battles will obviously be all physical and that will be hard until the thief learns useful skills.

DQ9 was also hilarious in that it was clearly designed to be a quasi-MMO with you and 3 friends playing. The story even flat out says this since only the main hero actually matters; the three generics are deliberately not acknowledged in all the plot points (i.e. being unable to strike a superior angel).

I'd honestly play the NES or GBC versions over it, though I personally just play it untranslated since it is the best version of the game, it's just that the patch kinda sucks. Can't really complain about something the fans did for free. Also, they did an update that should've cleared the bugs, I didn't have any real problems.

DQ was made a billion years ago by a Japanese programmer who saw Ultima and Wizardry and copied what he liked from each. At the time, Enix was throwing-anything-at-the-wall-to-see-what-sticks, including porn games, and it turns out electronic Dungeons and Dragons really took off with the Japanese boys of the 1980s.

My favorite part of DQ9 is that the plot doesn't even try to explain why there's a party and it only works if the hero is alone the whole game. So basically DQ9 is Dq1.
