i like the octopath style

Fuckin.... NEAT

Have I mentioned that DQ3 is my favorite one? And the first RPG I ever played? This is exciting.

Expanded animations during combat... death animations! The command select looks like Golden Sun. This is how more remakes of old 2-D games should look.

You can play DQ XI in 2D mode. Very oldschool.
Why cannot western developers do that?

Solasta has awful 3D grafix and you cannot play it in 2D.
DQ XI has great 3D grafix and you can play it in 2D.

The bloom isn't as unbearable compared to Octopath.

I am level5 now.
The battles are extremely boring so far.
I do not want to fight again.
Will it be the same to the end of the game?

The game has a difficulty curve where it starts out easy and gets harder as it goes, but you can always use cheatengine to enable stronger monsters now without having to start over and if you still don't like it you can just quit.

Was playing this game. Decided to do full draconian and see how long I could last (no walkthroughs as well). No armor, stronger enemies, levelling cap, shypox at key moments.

Just reached the casino, and in around 3 hours managed to get all the weapon prizes. Wasn't going to get the sword as well, but got lucky near the end with a royal flush. Along with building the MC for attack increases, he now one-shots most enemies.

A combination of being always underlevelled and being able to avoid almost every fight means that there's a lot of grinding in this game. Didn't mind at first, but eventually had to optimize it with auto-battle + very fast speed + holding down B + listening to my own music to make it tolerable.

The spider boss took a couple hours to beat, does it only get worse from here? It was pretty damn close too, half my party was wiped out and I only attacked and crossed my fingers that the old man would heal and the spider wouldn't attack twice.

I am glad a hot girl character was added to the party, to balance out the gay parts, like the jester guy saying "honey" and "fabulous", and the blue-haired guy being slim and wearing a shirt showing abs. Also that faggot in Gondolia who calls you and the blue-haired guy attractive.

Gathered this data for the casino poker mini-game. The optimal strategy is: for three of a kind and two pair, to double-up until you reach 3200 coins, and for higher hands, to go until 8x the original reward.

Reached the end of act 1, I can see now why people in this thread were comparing it to the world of ruin. Getting quite addicted to this game.

The krakken boss was quite tough, and made me want to quit playing, but I managed to beat him by using enough dazzle spells. He missed just enough attacks that I could keep up with him.

Next boss was the Crows which kept killing off my party in a couple turns, where I couldn't even kill the weaker ones with all the party alive. Luckily the pep power between Seneca, MC, and Jade is quite OP and raises defense, attack, and heals each turn, where using that first turn let me beat them.

The wall-painting and ice witch bosses were quite easy, especially once I found out that you can swap characters in and out between turns. Sylvando's party-wide midheal ability came in handy. Didn't require any grinding.

Skeleton boss was pissing me off, maybe should have grinded a second level or tried using snooze more on the doppleganger, but eventually learned to keep my character's health over 175 at all times, except when the boss's blocking ability runs out, and cross my fingers that his pep power doesn't kill off my hero, or that both of them don't attack repeatedly, or that shypox doesn't kick in on the wrong moment. Had to use a couple 90MP potions because otherwise, I'd run out and waste turns using magic waters. Didn't take as long as the spider, but I'm sure that's because I was able to reach the boss room in 30 seconds instead of several minutes.

Story picked up like I expected it to, although the gameplay in most of the individual tales is lacking. I also can't help but think some of these bosses were taken from other franchises than SMT and Dark Souls. The guy you fight in Erik's tale looks an awfully lot like Thor or Loki from SMT.

Edit: Nvm, snooze wouldn't happen mattered because my uncontrollable ally would've just attacked the sleeping doppleganger and woke him up.

You know that Loki and Thor are from norse mythology and not from SMT or Marvel movies right?

I don't mean like the traditional representation of them, but the way the monster designer drew them, although it seems like I had them mixed up with someone else.

Managed to complete act 2, or the main game with all the draconian options turned on. Beat the final boss with the team Hendrik, Main Hero, Serena, Rab. Putting both spell-casters on the team helped a lot for hitting Dazzle, since it has around a 30% hit chance. Also, for healing the party, since they know the best healing spells besides Omniheal.

Thankfully you don't actually needed to beat the final boss using the one-handed Sword of Light. Mordegon has electricity resistance and two-handed weapons deal more damage with the two-handed skill unbridled blade. Had to grind 15 levels to the level-cap in order to beat him, the metal slime kings came in handy. Having to beat two forms in a row was pretty annoying.

Others might say, "I beat DQ XI with all the draconian options on" - people will say, cool, congrats!

Gastrick: Get on my level, I beat it with all draconian options on WITH an activate windows watermark.

You might be the first to achieve this.

I know, someone else said the same thing, I need to remove it.

I'd recommend an abundance of caution, because it's one of the top ways to get your rig crypto slaved, or ransom wared. Keys can be bought for $20 or less.

Looks like if I want to continue to play this series without cringing, I'll have to resort to the Japanese versions with a translation guide on my lap.

Not really cringe, outside of this part, which was worse than any challenge boss:




I doubt this counts as a localization difference though.
