mikeycp posted:So now that we're finally getting it, what exactly is enhanced about 3DS VII? Zurai posted:The big additions are playable Red and Morrie, and thus the ability to switch your party around rather than having the same 4 all the time. I assume the plot is also adjusted to accommodate them. TurnipFritter posted:Basically everything has been overhauled. Enemies appear on the field, the long rear end intro dungeon was removed, there's a Shard Detector Radar on the touch screen, classes are completely overhauled and rebalanced (some skills don't carry over between classes anymore, particularly the ones you pick up in advanced classes, so there's a greater emphasis on having characters fulfill specific roles). This just confirms that nobody played DQVII. Spoilers the changes still won't make it good or fun or well-paced

LorneReams posted:I loved 8, but don't know if I can go to it again as I grinded that game out to max everything by fighting the final dragon series over and over. I would love a new game like 8 though as I thought that was pretty much DQ perfection. dragon quest 7 is a kiddie pool the size of the pacific ocean that expects you to make several laps around the perimeter

I've been playing through DQ7 (on PS1) because I'm a masochist and determined to finish it so I can throw out examples when I call it garbage so here have a fresh one -my strongest party member (Maribel) just left the party with zero warning, but it's okay because here's a random new girl to replace her. She starts with Dancer mastered and a few ranks in Warrior, which sucks (although miles better than the legendary hero not having a class at all) but I figured it was supposed to be an organic way of teaching you about how to learn cross-class skills like Sword Dance. But it's not, so you have to grind more for her to learn it because ???

Vinchenz posted:actually dragon quest 7 is good (and the 3DS version is even better!) Though admittedly this isn't necessarily the case, Maribel is probably your primary spellcaster and as such is best equipped for fighting multiple enemies. Aira is a warrior who has no multi-target abilities. I think putting an extremely powerful boss who calls in tons of flunkies (and are all immune to one of the best group target elements for non-casters) in the area immediately after losing Maribel and gaining Aira is a bad design decision. I think losing Maribel with zero forewarning is a dumb design decision. I think not letting you access the weapon and armor shops once the wind stops is a silly design decision. And I think making you go through the same two dungeons twice is a tedious design decision those metal slimes are real dang cute tho e: I lied Aira does have a couple of lousy group target abilities Looper fucked around with this message at 21:03 on May 2, 2016 |

Vinchenz posted:I mean, I get that the game doesn't have the best design decisions here and there but overall the game's still pretty great. Are there better Dragon Quest games? Yeah, but outside of the series its not a bad game at all, it just takes awhile to get into and it can throw you some nasty curveballs here and there that you have to be ready for. That kind of thing is the norm though, not the exception. I could also go on about the entire Dharma region, or how the class system discourages experimentation by penalizing you for switching out of unmastered classes, tying class progress to battles instead of a point system, and just generally taking forever to make any progress. It just doesn't seem like much thought was put into anything; it's mind boggling how much of an improvement 8 is Again, I'm basing this all on the PS1 game (hopefully the new localization will be better, too), but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Bravelies or Etrians or SMT over this any day

thorsilver posted:The 3DS version of VII is pretty much a different (massively improved) game compared to the PS1 version, so please don't tell people not to play it based on the PS1 experience. We need as many people as possible to buy DQ7 We need as many people as possible to buy DQ8! Also of the changes I've seen, restricting some skills to the class that learns them and streamlining the Ancient Fane sound like bad ideas imo. I know people complain that it takes too long to get into a fight but that first dungeon is one of the few good ones in the game

Sure my brother and I played the game in shifts when it came out and never even got close to finding god or whatever and I have 90 percent less free time than I did back then but this is still a sound financial investment!!! It's Maribel and she'll still be better than Melvin, this shouldn't be in spoilers

HPanda posted:I never played the original 7, so to those that have, was the battle at the end of the first island with Maeve originally much harder? That really felt like it was gearing up to be a bigger encounter, but then wasn't. The game even fully heals you up beforehand but it finished in one round for me. Not at all. It takes several rounds (which is more thematically appropriate imo) but you won't be taking any damage Looper fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Sep 19, 2016 |

CharlestheHammer posted:Do you ever get more party members in 7 besides ruff? Because I feel like I am decently through and ain't got no one. It's important to keep in mind that the sixth party member is a replacement for Maribel, who leaves you out of nowhere after one of the last few islands. You'll get the option to pick your final party later though Thread, I have a confession. As much as I dislike the original, I kinda wanna get this remake and see a hopefully good version of 7

Decus posted:You said not to say this earlier but I don't think this series is for you if you view talking to NPCs as a chore. It's kind of the primary means of exposition and you're meant to want to talk to everybody not to find the one trigger to advance and get this over and done with but to gleam the story of the area before, during and after your arrival. Complaining about copy-pasted models is another thing that's kind of at-odds with the series--it's like the menus where you're either charmed by them or absolutely hate them. Bad dungeon design is going to be frustrating no matter how you pace your play though. That, party members abruptly leaving, and the bad class system were the big problems with the game. And one was fixed! More importantly, Maribel's portrait owns and Gabo has a buddy now so this is a good remake imo

Kiefer's kinda framed as the hero, being the dashing prince, the Midenhall of the early trio, and the most proactive about solving the mysteries of the world, but he continually runs away from his responsibilities and ultimately can't even bring himself to talk to his best friend (much less his family) directly before leaving forever. Kiefer's a chump
