DQ8 power leveling

2008-07-20T23:45:05Z

I'm at the one spot in the game near the Godbird's Mountain where Gold Golems swarm duing daytime and Liquid Metal Slimes swarm at night, and these silver balls of snot keep running away too much and all my attacks do 2 damage at the most.

Remember how in in older DQ games you can use flaming or chilly breath by either casting Bedragon or having a monster/monster class character in your party who can do that kind of stuff?

Is there an alchemy recepie I can use to make a weapon that shows these sentient pieces of Thermometer filling how to die like the little bitches that they are?

Also look what I got for five dollars

I want to replay DW7 and get to the hidden bonus dungeon. How do I get to it?

Like where are all the map shards to get to it and where do I put them?

I did not know there is a scanslation of the Dragonquest: Dai no Daibouken manga available online~! HAPPY~! &hearts I've been reading it all morning now. The only thing better would be if someone did Torneco no Daibouken, haa! Fat chance, woe. D: ~~I ALSO WANT MOAR XXXHOLIC CHAPTERS AT THAT SITE!!~~

Updates and such: Pachisi returns!

2008-06-30T00:10:49Z

Lots of Dragon Quest V DS screens. There's a brief blurb about Deborah, but it basically amounts to "She dresses strangely for the time period oh who could this mysterious woman be?" Then there's some blurbs about Papas, Bianca and the rest of the characters from the original versions. There's some information on the Casino games (PACHISI FROM DQ3 IS BACK YES), they include: Pachisi (YES YES YES), Slime Racing, Poker, Slot Machines, and the Monster Battle Arena. Then there's a bit about the Metal King.

Dragon Quest V Trailer. If you've played the previous versions of the game, something interesting happens at the 2:50 mark.

Dragon Quest Monsters Battle Road Event: Not a whole lot to say. Dragon Quest V DS was playable, you can see screenshots of a live action commercial I'll try to upload for y'all to watch (Deborah, Papas and Little Abel are depicted in the screenshots), and some ridiculous dress up.

The US Chapters of the Chosen website has been updated, it contains some actual content now.

What's a good spot to level up in before the fight with Buron in DQ5?

Default names and other crap

2008-06-18T20:58:40Z

You know how the DQ series eventually somehow gives names to some of their Hero characters in their games? Like how DQ1-3s heroes are just called the decendants of Erdrick (assuming all the heroes after the DQ3's hero, Erdrick are all named Erdrick down the line), DQ7's hero is called Arus in the anime and manga in Japan, and in the DQ8 demo the hero is named Eight, and in DQ6 (according to wikipedia) the hero is called Shujinko in Japan. Have there ever been names for the other heroes?

And what order does the Zenithian Saga take place in? Some sources say 5-4-6, others say 4-5-6

And is there a finished rom of DQ6 out there? One that I can play in english and complete all the way without it crashing or at least letting me read all or most of the important text in the game so I can know what to do?

Shocking plot twist!

2008-06-13T19:13:19Z

Dragon Quest V DS will feature a new character.

If you've played the original versions, you'd know that their are two prospective brides for the hero: Bianca and Flora. The DS version is giving the player a third option in Deborah:

And, again, if you've played the original version, you'd know that the game heavily favors Bianca as the "correct" choice. The PS2 version tried to give the Hero and Flora some sort of a backstory together, but it still heavily favored Bianca. I'm really, really hoping that the DS version tries to give equal footing for all three girls.

Where's a good spot in DW3 to level up before tackling the Valley of Necroogond? My characters are around level 20 right about now.

Official US websites is go. Well, the only one that's open is Dragon Quest 4: Chapters of the Chosen, and that only has a brief "About" page. The release date is September 16, 2008.

New screenshots of DQ5 DS

2008-05-15T01:32:20Z

There are some new screenshots of Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride over at Famitsu. The main character is named "Abel" in the screenshots.

In addition, the official website was updated.

Dragon Quest Swords for $39.99

2008-05-14T04:58:33Z

Hey, I just learned at Square Enix Members that Square Enix cut the price for Dragon Quest Swords. It is now $39.99. If you haven't gotten the game, yet, now would be a good time to buy it.

I have the game. So far, I enjoy playing it.

DQIV DS confirmed for Europe too it seems...

2008-05-02T14:40:06Z

For any Europeans here...

http://www.jeux-france.com/news26678_dragon-quest-iv-en-europe-.html

I say "it seems..." because the article really doesn't cite a source or reasoning behind the announcement. I'm sure they did get some word of it, but they didn't say so :p

Square Enix trademarks 3 titles:

2008-04-28T15:32:33Z

Square Enix has trademarked 3 titles:
"Chapters of the Chosen"
"Hand of the Heavenly Bride"
and
"Realms of Reverie"

Why do you care?
Let's take a look at the Japanese subtitles of Dragon Quest 4-6:
"The Chosen Ones"
"The Bride of Heaven"
"The World of Illusions"

Dragon Quest V out for pre-orders!

2008-04-18T13:17:39Z

Amazon Japan already has Dragon Quest V for pre-orders, to be released on July 17th.

Of course, they don't ship out of Japan, but Play-Asia may have the game, too.

Because I'm currently obssessing.

2008-04-13T23:22:20Z

Have these icons, too. XD

So I spent way too much time...

2008-04-13T19:56:26Z

...making this new version of my Gwaelin-mocking icon. XD Feel free to steal but credit me~ I'm very proud of myself for, you know, actually figuring out how to make an animated gif. HA!

I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THAT DQI WARLOCKS SUCK! Jerks casting Sleep effectively when mine fails. T__T

This is really just to show off my new icon

2008-04-12T11:13:19Z

and to announce I'm obviously replaying DQI.

If anyone feels like making a better version of this for me... I'd be thrilled? I'm null at graphics. ^^;

Square Enix's fan community site has plenty of Final Fantasy attention, but it is severely lacking in Dragon Quest loving. Right now, members can submit comments to the site for potential improvements. I mentioned that I want Dragon Quest content-- especially any news regarding the possibility of Dragon Quest IV - VI DS remakes making it to America. I encourage you all to leave similar comments on that site.

Everybody with a Wii needs to go buy Dragon Quest Swords this wednesday. If it sells enough Square Enix might make American versions of DQ4-6 for the DS. Do the right thing.

Hey, have you guys checked out Square Enix's site for Dragon Quest Swords? I love the video that plays on its home page. The girl grabbing the Wii from the boy's hand cracks me up.

DQ8?

2008-02-13T20:46:45Z

I admit the answer to this question is probably, "Just try it!" But basically I'd like to know if DQ8 is worth it, and what your thoughts on it are. My new roommate has a PS3, and one of the first things I did when he moved in was buy a used copy of DQ8. (Yes, I know it's a PS2 game. I don't own one of those, either. ;) )

I then played for 35 minutes and had exactly one battle. Against three slimes. Seriously. Is this even Dragon Quest anymore? I don't want 30 minutes of storyline and dialogue and voiceovers. I don't want 100% action, either, but I was seriously bored to tears by the time I left the first town. I'm pretty sure you can start roaming the countryside and picking fights in DQs1-5 in less than 5 minutes.

Maybe it's just new rpgs in general. I just can't get excited about these things anymore. :(
