Oh man hello PS2 AV settings on a 10 year old Flatscreen
it actually has moving scan lines and white noise. Might be my original wire going out

Who am being so judgemental, Xiahou Shake?

So yea, you know the rules, I'll try to update this topic with my progress. I would appreciate no spoilers UNLESS I'm about to miss something thats....well, missable. Then by all means

My only other DQ under my belt was DQV. It was cool. I married Bianca and recruited monsters

So yea, we're being thrown straight into the adventure here

Fat Garlic Jr and Olaf the terrible with Dragonball kid

also Mouse with Mohawk

I remember years ago, maybe like 2005? You could sign up for something on Square's website and they would send you a demo disc of this game

I remember ....straight falling asleep while playing it

but then the next day I gave it another chance and I ended up beating it. The only thing I remember is that there was ALOT to explore. in just the one town alone. I remember being disappointed that I couldn't save my progress for the real game

there was the Slime Knights website where Square paid people like me with PS2 games to spread hype of DQ8 around the internet.

It would be weird for them to send a demo of the game in 2005 when it came out in 2004

ah, I guess it was this town in the demo

I remember reading a book and it said HUZZUH in it

that was the first time I had ever seen that word and the book was in the church

my PS2 controller is apparently slightly broken. The X Button doesn't work so well unless I press down on it rather firmly

this will make exploring a pain in the ass

the fact that you can go through the backdoor of establishments and steal money from behind the counter is hilarious

I hope no invisible point value shit or some Chrono Trigger court is happening

I talked to Mr. Satan's daughter and we have to go get a crystal ball now

I feel like there was ...more to find in the demo. maybe I'm remembering it wrong

speaking of the demo, I had to stop and take a nap. lol me falling asleep again

I was really confused that I kept finding weak equipment that's even weaker than my starting stuff. But then I found a key for a thief's key and it hit me all at once, there's a crafting system. Time to hold everything I ever find and never sell anything

So I go into the world map and my first battle is against three bell pepper monsters and a rabbit. They killed the main character so I was forced to run as yangus, this is not a good vote of confidence nor a good start to this game

I gave Yangus Fisticuff points because in my head that makes him even cooler

I'm gonna invest in Swords with Eighter. The best weapon in the game is probably a sword

The main thing is to pick one weapon type and stick with it, since the skill points don't help you unless you're using that weapon type.

Warning, Fisticuffs is almost entirely useless. And your skill points are limited; you won't be able to get everything unless you're one of those insane people who grind 100s of hours for seeds. Choose wisely.

You put it on Yangus? He's the only person in the game that it's not a completely useless skill. He gets a pretty good attack at 42 points that's awesome for clearing trash while spending almost no MP.

I wanted to rematch that lizard knight guy but I can't find him anymore

he was notable because he wasn't a random encounter, he was just running around

I'd offer my Slime Controller, still in its original packaging and seemingly never increasing in value, but shipping and you might finish before it arrives.

if you were being serious, I'll cover the shipping costs, as long as you don't put it in a fancy, huge, and extravagant box, it shouldn't cost more than 10 bucks. And it should arrive in less than a week

so story time

one time GUM wanted to order a Slime controller, but they didn't ship to Canadia, so he was sad. So I volunteered to receive it then I'd just send it his way

apparently Canadia HATES Texas

I would send it off, it would disappear for a month, and then just come back to my house

that happened 3 times. I'm sure he started to think I stole it from him

I did nothing different the final time and it finally arrived. so yea, took a few months. and I had to pay for it every time

I think GUM reimbursed me a bit

so yea, this conversation is giving me PTSD right now. Which was why I was asking if you were in the country

I'm being a bit stubborn right now

I don't want to leave until I have a rematch with that fucking Dino warrior that kicked my ass

I can't find him anywhere

and I don't remember his name either. He was visible in the world map and he ran straight to me like it was Chrono Trigger

it was actually slime speakers to go with DQIX on DS!

I forget if you put my actual name or GUM because I'm pretty sure you've put that on some other goodies package before and maybe that threw things off with the speakers
