Dragon Quest XI

[HoboForEternity]

and DQ 8 still have the puff puff scene

 

[Fred]

There is one skill panel for each character that gives +10 skill points when you attain it, and you can respec, get it, then respec and keep the 10 points (without keeping that panel active).

Spoiler

Some of those panels (notably hero) aren't available till part 2 of the game.
Name / Where the bonus panel is / how many minimum skill points you need / bonus panel name
Hero Luminary 44 Charm +40
Erik Guile 34 Agility +30
Veronica Vim 46 MP +30
Serena Harpistry 54 MP +20
Sylvando Showmanship 42 Charm +40
Rab Enlightenment 63 Agility +20
Jade Fisticuffs 32 HP +30
Eight Fraternity 25 Magical Mending +20

Ho and I guess I was the only one who didn't know, but you can return to Galopolis and race horses there, some prizes are really good.

Possibility of translation of the japanese 3DS version exists:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/how-rea...-dragon-quest-xi-using-the-ps4-script.517169/

Dude says it's completely possible, has put up these proof-of-concept screenshots:

Since he's a lone Russian coder trying to go off the English script from the PS4/PC version... expect this to get done by 2047, if he doesn't simply burn out by doing this.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT the massive cucks at the forum are actually trying to stop him from doing this because supposedly the script is "copyrighted". He has said repeatedly he doesn't give a fuck, that Squeenix can't do anything to him while he's in Russia and that he doubts the people who want this in English on 3DS give a shit either and he needs people to help him type the English script into the game... and GBATemp admis are basically telling him NOT to use their forum for this.

First part of the game ending was unexpected, so was the start of the second part.

After heliodor, I think the second part will consist of finding the dragon balls... Again.

 

[Fred]

Ok I go North, a boss destroys me, I go South, another boss destroys me, I'll try East. I think I'm a good 10 levels under the intended.

 

[Falksi]

So what's the low down? Is it any better than the mind-numbingly dull DQ8?

 

[abnaxus]

I got a couple of 7777 on slots but never a jackpot.

On roulette though I got two in a row.

Same (well only one jackpot at roulette, but it was on the most expansive one so I got a cool million out of it).
At first I was putting a full stack on the "treasure chest", but when I hit it I only got 40k (still at the 200 token roulette table). Considering you get 350k for hitting your number it's not worth it.
Getting millions at the roulette is even easier than in DQ8, considering the game autosaves when you enter the room, 10 feet from the table, you can use the same technique as in DQ8 but without the hassle of having to go save, it's nearly cheating :D

Oh,it looks like the game was cracked.
I hope nobody bought this because he though it wouldn't be cracked for a along time.

 

[Reinhardt]

Bought it because it's DQ on pc. And i'm glad it got first weeks sales anyway.

I did :D But bleh, also I waited this game for 10 years, I guess I can cough the 42€ up.

Orchestrated music mod seems to be in the works.

Hoooo this is amazing. It hit me during a boss fight when they used a DQ4 battle theme, or in the various places they use an old DQ music theme, we really need orchestrated music.

The last 5th (or 6th) of the end-game is grinding to beat "Quest Target".

My group is currently at the 63 to 65 level currently.

I have done no crafting except for the required "story progressing" crafting.

This is what I remember from similar JPIGS I have played (one of the last Final Fantasies I've played come to mind (12 or 13?))....I got bored at the end because of all the grind and just give up and watch a video of defeating the "End Boss"

And I don't have a problem with the voice overs. They sound pretty good to me, actually.

Why would I want to hear some random Jap screaming "Domo Origato, Mr. Roboto" in some ching-chong language I don't understand?

I just don't get it...you peeps who like that are weird.

Overall I'd give it 8/10. I had fun earlier. But the end game grind is causing me grief and boredom (6/10).

[Zep Zepo]

My Grind spot, for those that care, is in the Tapestry in Phnon Nom after I run to get to the Statue.

The I just run/fight between the next two sections of baddies until I go up 2 levels.

But Again, that is boring me (6/10)

Late-game grinding in DQXI is insanely easier than in any other DQ game.

In lategame you make sure to run the

Spoiler

major story areas again in order, they have new story and bosses. Make sure to go to cobblestone to help rebuild it.

For grinding:

Spoiler

* Zoom to the Yggdrassil North campsite (the one near the summit)
* Make sure Erik, Rab, Sylvando and Jade are your main party
* Fight the bulb enemies, they spam heal on you so you never need to heal. Use defend exclusively throughout the whole encounter until you get pepped up
* Swap Hero in and pep him up with his pep ability
* End the fight and go save
* Put Hero, Jade, Erik and Sylvando in the party
* Go to the Bulb enemies again, use Hallelujah pep power
* Have Sylvando pep Jade again using a Pep Pip (there's a quest that gives you 4, casino in Porto Vale IIRC sells them for 250k tokens I think, in rebuilt Cobblestone you can buy them for 200k gold each)
* Swap Erik for Rab
* Use Electro Light pep power to change the enemies into Metal Slimes
* Use Rab's Curse of Dundrasil (not sure about the name) to put the metal slimes to sleep to prevent them from fleeing
* Kill them using Jade's Thunder/Lightning Thrust ability, Erik's Critical Claim, and Eighth's critical strike ability
Guaranteed 300k+ EXP

After level 70 you'll get guaranteed Metal King Slime which will guarantee a Pep Pip drop. You can get to level 99 in 2 hours because they'll start giving 700k+ EXP.

That said, you do not need level 99 to beat the true final boss. Pretty sure it can be done at 70~75.
Be mindful however that there is a trick to it which shouldn't be hard to figure out if you consider the Luminary's special weapon.

On avoiding crafting: some of the unique weapons for your party can only be gotten through crafting.

There is no other "story" other than Gemma's rebuild quest.

For grinding:

That sounds even MORE boring than what I am already doing and involves tons of more steps.

And I should care...why? To pop an achievement or something? The purchased shit or found shit work just fine.

Just like I am not going to try and find 5 targets in several areas. I just don't care about pixel/picture hunting.

It isn't, in reality it's just -> Get pepped up -> Use Hallelujah -> Use Electro Light -> Curse of Dundrasil -> Get 5 free levels.

Listen, if you don't want to play the game, then stop complaining about it and just uninstall you stupid nigger. Or better yet, go fight the final boss. But don't come to me saying how it's insanely boring or time consuming to grind if you haven't played any other DQ game. Fucking faggot.

 

[Zep Zepo]

Listen

Listen, If you love grinding and want to grind like a stupid nigger, be my guest.

I put my shit on Fight Wisely and just battle in Phnom Non. No this, no that, no swapping chars or spells/abilties and just auto battle.

I've played DQ 8, it was also an extremely boring and tedious end game.

Go suck a dick, faggot.

Stop complaining.
Kill yourself.
