I just finished VI last night. It was really great, and I think it's probably my second favorite DQ now. (after V) Now I'm trying to beat the bonus boss, Nokturnus and holy poo poo. Probably gonna have to grind up a bunch for that.  Manos del Sino posted:I went through the events at Castle Graceskull, and when I get back to the ruined castle, there's no secret chamber when I inspect the area or anywhere near the area. Ra's Mirror didn't reveal anything either. Nothing my party or Madame Luca says helps. Did you use the golden pickaxe where the staircase should be?

I completely beat Nokturnus last night, in under 20 turns. Afterwards, he teleports himself and my party to Mortamor and then proceeds to beat the poo poo out of him. It was pretty loving cool. quote:Also about DQ5, I just started it and I'm in the second town doing some leveling. Is it like a DQ thing that boomerangs are loving awesome in every game? They kicked rear end in 8 and after saving up enough to get the first one in 5 my hero suddenly a powerhouse.

Skeezy posted:Dragon Quest IV on the other hand is wonderful on Android. But it is also in portrait mode. Honestly, with that in consideration along with party chat added back in, I think the mobile version of DQIV is pretty much the best version. Never thought I'd say that about any mobile port ever, but here we are!

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 If you have an apple/android device, I would definitely recommend getting DQ4 on that. It looks a bit nicer, and you can pretty much play it with one hand. It also has party chat, a feature that lets you talk to your party members whenever you want, which was taken out of the DS version. It's also only 15 bux.

, 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?

Evil Fluffy posted:NES DW4's AI didn't "learn" anything. You could fight the same enemy 50 times and the AI would still do the same stupid poo poo every time. AI would use magic against metal slimes/babbles/kings all the time in addition to the sheer uselessness they had in boss fights. This is why I played Dragon Warrior 4 in an emulator, there's a cheat(I think, it's been a while) that let's you control your party members manually. Made the game much more bearable.

Late-ish game spoilers- Wow, the villagers of Vogograd are human garbage. "We believe that you and this kid WHOSE PARENTS GOT KILLED BY THE MONSTERS are in collusion with them. Obviously we have to beat the poo poo out of you and also the kid WHOSE PARENTS GOT KILLED BY MONSTERS." Also feel like my dudes, who have all mastered a variety of different, very powerful classes by now, could've handled the situation instead of letting themselves get beaten by a bunch of fuckin peasants with sticks. Out of a game with such well written vignettes all throughout, this(and maybe Greenthumb, but to a far lesser extent) is the only one that made me feel legit angry at the stupidity of the situation.

Last Celebration posted:Lol, you ain't seen nothing yet. The ending to Vogograd in the future probably pissed me off the most out of every atrocity in the 60 hours I've sunk into this game. The stupidity is 1000% deliberate though, that's the point. Yeah I just finished it and lol. I know the stupidity of the villagers is absolutely intentional, I guess I was more pissed that my party did nothing to defend themselves from a mob of ignorant jerks. I did almost shout at my 3DS when the elder in the present smashed the real inscription. I guess it's good to know that the kids learned the truth and they'll pass that on to future generations, but fuuuuuuuuuuck the villagers. Vogograd is a garbage dump.

Beat VII a few days ago, and besides the name changes to the main party(which you can change in Alltrades so whatever), the localization is muuuuuuuuuuuch better than the original ps1 version. Gabo is still the best wolf-child.

Okay, here's a question whose answer could be a potentially big spoiler. Just got to the second region, around 8 and a half hours in: All of the Cobblestone villagers aren't actually dead right? I know DQ4 did this before but I felt way more invested here and also I didn't see any dang bodies! No need for anything explicit, just, will I find out about Gemma or my mom's or my dog's fates later or something like that?

Stuff like the locked door down the well in Desert Horse Town, not the obvious YOU WILL OBTAIN A KEY FOR THESE red doors. if it's the cell doors you're talking about, you'll probably need the ultimate key for those, which you don't typically get until waaaaay later in these games

Who else(mid to somewhat late game spoilers) won a shitload of tokens through the slots at the casino in Octagonia only to lose all of them after beating the boss there? I would have been angry, but I went back and got a jackpot for a cool million afterwards at the slots, so it wasn't too bad.

Broken Cog posted:One tip is to use Veronica, since she can do thousands of damage per round. Especially if you have someone like Hendrik around to refill her mana. Continuing post game spoiler. The main issue I have using any magic attacks in this fight is that one guy seems to have bounce casted on him at all times and the other one just has really high magic resistance. It sucks!
