Only had it a few days, but I'm already up to Sniflheim (first place I encountered after getting ocean access). Definitely wouldn't have bought that expensive wheat scythe if I'd known it was a greatsword...my dude's been using one-handers the whole time. =|
Currently using MC/Veronica/Jade/Serena. The party still lacks some oomph, though. Going MC/Jade/Sylvando/Erik may be more fun in the long run.

It's been pretty good so far, albeit a little trope-y. That's part of the DW charm, though, so it's not a big deal.
Just ran through the Hekswood, even though I had no reason to and can't do anything in this obvious boss clearing. Oh well...at least that angel statue heals you in addition to the normal options, so this is a good grinding spot. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ...

Yeah, it dials up up the tropey a bit because its emphasizing the whole 30 years of Dragon Quest thing.
Its a wildly charming game. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Wow, youre farther than I got. I should play that game again. Only thing I dont like about certain RPGs like this one is the lack of aesthetic-changing equipment.
Granted, this one is a bit better than DQ VIII. --- "It's basically just a stuffed animal at that point." -Tyranthraxus ... Copied to Clipboard!

It'd be better if equipment (besides shields and stuff) was reflected, but I guess we have to settle for item sets.

If you find the recipes for them, there is some equipment that reflects on the characters. Not sure if you knew that or if you were just referring to the limited overall amount of those sets.

Just learned that Square brings up the regional map. That would've been useful in the 12 story arcs before this, haha. (They should've made the touchpad do something, though.) Anyway, I don't think I'm supposed to do Sniflheim crap yet, so I'm gonna go to Lonalulu.
Hopefully I get some spell/key/macguffin that opens those red doors soon. You'd think the master thief I got in the first hour would be able to pick locks by default, but noooooo. --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ...

I like how the dude never revisited the mermaid because his boat was burned. Why not, like, build another boat? You built a huge-ass cabin, so you've definitely got mad carpentry skillz. You sat there for years doing nothing but painting, lmao. This Lonalulu arc is definitely the worst one so far, although I have to respect its commitment to a body count.

This was in the upper echelon of DQ games for me. 5 and 7 are definitely my favorites. Then maybe 8 and 11.

What kind of demon painting puts repeatable free healing right before the fight? At least have Chadarnook-tier smarts, pipsqueak.

Welp, found the last two orbs and defrosted Sniflheim. Gotta admit, that's the only boss so far that almost killed me. Laughably, the only time I've died in the entire playthrough was right outside the first village, when I wasn't paying attention to my health.

C'mon...Serena is Lv30 and still doesn't have a multi-target heal spell. Even Sylvando and Rab already learned theirs. =|
Anyway, up to Yggdrasil now. Got some good grinding in on these blue dragons that spawn right by the First Forest altar. One even had a liquid metal slime to kill, which helped things along, haha. I haven't played DQ games in awhile, so I'd almost forgotten about that strategy where you use risky moves to crit metal slimes for easy wins (thanks, Thunder Spear). --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ...

Haha, Jasper showed up with OP skills and shot my dude in the back. Then the king of Heliodor and Hendrik appeared behind Jasper...only for the King to shoot Hendrik in the back! Just how many backs can be stabbed before the plot's thirst for backstabbery is quenched?
EDIT: And now Malfegor or whatever stabbed Yggdrasil in the heart...which was situated at the back! Unbelievable! --- Take me down from the ridge where the summer ends And watch the city spread out just like a jet's flame ... Copied to Clipboard!

So, we're going full World of Ruin up in here. I guess it's time to get the gang back together, just in a reverse order, so I have a reason to use people besides my normal group. If I lost all my Zoom markers, I'm going to be rather annoyed...

Hendrik and I went to the castle and beat the crap out of some skeleton boss, regaining the dank purple orb. I'm glad he brought some phials for MP, 'cause I didn't have any on my MC. Didn't expect him to join my party completely, though...that's a genuine surprise.
Long ago, I ended up switching my guy to greatswords because no one else could equip 'em (also, they do ridiculous damage), but now I have two users in that proficiency, so...oh well. At least he can have some hand-me-downs. I did buy that Nightcleaver for 12000 gold earlier, so that's at least one thing that'll see more mileage now. Joenage posted...

erik gets a move that always gives him a critical hit on his next attack, and a move that makes 2 copies of him so when he does a move it happens 2 more times
combine those 2 moves for massive amounts of damage with erik --- yusketeer ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've been teaching my dudes dual wielding and saw he had some clone move. My first thought was having all the clones dual wield, too, but I didn't know he had a free crit skill hiding somewhere. I think only Sylvando and Serena have dual wielding unlocked right now, though.
