S is the definitive version content-wise. It's also no longer Switch exclusive, but I don't know which of PS4 or PC is better. Just get it wherever you want really, and be careful that you're not getting the original version if you get it anywhere other than the Switch.

can be, yeah. didn't beat more than a handful of games and spent a good chunk of that year not playing anything though due to life. anyway, back to 'that was a really long gura stream you liar,' the rest of Erik's story:

last time around i had just gotten through some cutscenes where we're escaping and the punny slime knows about Erik's past. we're in a hallway that's pretty linar so just follow the path, get on the little stone platform, continue moving forward. Since fall damage isn't a thing ignore the rope and go down the pit where I see three Grinades and a sparkly thing. I challenge one to make sure I've beaten him and there's a Liquid Slime, hell yeah. He actually didn't run away either, turn 2 crit did the job and that was that, 10K EXP. That's kinda the most interesting part that happens for a while really, the dungeon's linear as it gets since it's a side story. The mini boss goes down to a mix of sleep attack -> 6x damage to those asleep. they die, we leave on a floating rock.

in the new area there's 2 treasure chests. grab 'em, one's a seed a deftness and i'm not entirely sure that's got any value so i'll leave it in the bag. continue, kill some enemies, avoid others, until we finally reach some double doors. two sets of them actually, first one connects this area to a previous one so i do that. i imagine it plays no role right now but eventually i'll get here and will be happy i made myself a shortcut. we'll see. i go through the other door, it's clearly a circle shaped room, let's go. cutscene.

...that's a lot of monsters. i'm to fight 3 of 'em, fine, sleep -> murder x3 it is. cutscene.
okay i take it back, *that* is a lot of monsters. so many that the Heal Slime speaks to Erik and can grant him power but only if he loses what's most important to him, which is apparently the rest of the DQ11 crew.

okay there, Vergil.
and his power is... Super Saiyan God? wait no, blue hair too, turban is blocking that off and the little picture of him in the corner shows it's exactly kaio-kan, he's literally Goku. in this fight it's impossible to lose so hey, that's neat. i win, the boss armor gets a crack in it, and then the power runs out just in time for him to get blasted off the platform, which is apparently floating in the sky. the mysterious power who is totally not the sage then somehow slows him down, saves him, and... yep, heal slime transforms into it. cue his memories getting wiped, bit by bit, and this sage looks related to him. i'm sure we'll cover more of that person more later.

next cutscene we've what looks like Sylv's pilot finding him on a beach but he's wondering who he was journeying with this entire time. scene.

bit of a sad one. save, start the next one, looks like it's on Rab.

...well, okay.
and now for something completely different, here's a horny old man who, despite being in a white void, has just met his favorite model and his reaction is that he's gotta have courage to bang her. so lemme get this straight, we go from brainwashed, jealous girlfriend that results in possession, to man tries to escape but can only do so by losing what he cares about the most, and immediately jump to horny old man who gives no fucks that his world is literally an empty void, she's hot so it's on.

top tier priorities, good sir. if the world ends all he's gotta do is replace it.

i run to the girl and the scene changes. cutscene, Rab's back home at the castle and the king again. uh... okay, so far we've got girl of his dreams followed by a dream scenario? hm. well, i run to the throne, sit, and cutscene again. seems to be of when his daughter got engaged and then squiggly lines hit once more as the totally-not-a-succubus blatantly tells him that he's on memory lane.

okay yeah this is a dream eating succubus isn't she?

well we fast forwarded to the day of their child being born and Rab's on king duty for now. so there's questions to answer, hm.

first one is a thief who stole the blue orb. tried a few options tos ee the conclusion, settled on money and disguise, he's a pro thief.

second is drought prevention. i check options and am highly, highly tempted to basically tell the other king that there's not much he can do so he should go dance naked outside a dragon's den for 3 days and nights as a rain dance ritual. it's a brilliant position. know what fuck it. RAIN DANCE.

next up, 3 fighters.
i mean obviously the bear. ...wait. after talking to all 3 i talked to the minister and he's a choice too?
ohhhh. that sounds dumb but fun. the hidden fighter option, nice. but uh, no, bear. because he's a bear. maybe in another run, so you know 5 years from now or something. >_>;

walking to other rooms to figure out where to go next i see i can go into the queen's bedchamber. woo, finally. i go in, and... is this hers? or was it mine? like my diary is in here, am i raiding my own closet? well, either way i then go down the stairs, eventually to a cutscene where it's all about the main star, me as a baby boy. rather sweet that Rab is holding me and... oh dear. dream eating succubus strikes again.

am continuing this after dinner, plan to finish this route tomorrow at the latest.

right then.

i'm in the chamber and need to chase the bunny girl yeah but first thing first: let's see where i can go.
i turn around, raid my closets, get some stuff. after that i'm blocked from going anywhere but chasing bunny girl so uh, alright. i kinda wonder if i've missed anything because technically there's a little bit of freedom you're given each time but i don't know what i've missed. whatever, nothing is missable so it's fine. i chase, get to a door, cutscene.

that's a big ass cake. it's legit taller than Rab is. oh yeah, i love that when Rab is reaching for a book he has to actually jump to get it - that's a nice touch. anyway he's fully aware this is totally a dream of sorts.

who are these-- wait. bear? blue orbs?
the decisions from before! okay the bear is cool and all but... there's the sultan.
...he actually did it.
and it *worked?* well, done talking to everyone, i talk to child-me and we do the tour to all 3 groups. cutscene.

...aww.
mad props to Rab for snapping himself out of it and it's fucking awesome that his reaction was to go get re-trained to do this fight solo. seriously, i know i've played this game slower than a snail but he's genuinely been one of my fave characters and this just bumps him up a notch. it's a nice dream but he's gotta wake up from it to fight for real. i go to bunny girl, cutscene.

bonafide badass to say all that. and now the bunny girl transforms to a... much hotter girl, wtf Rab, your grandmaster Pang is hot. what training are you trying to do, you perverted red mage? well, we warp to a weird area that looks kinda evil but i go up stairs, door, cutscene.

...the naughty sticks?
Rab, you really should've just come back with a "JOKE'S ON YOU PANG I'M INTO THAT SHIT" but alright, fighting it is.

this woman keeps smiling sensually at Rab and he keeps falling for it.
this fight is actually taking some time, lots of healing and Zammie being fired here. eventually she summons help, i kill that and guard when she's going to release her "Almighty Attack," which is slapping me silly with two sticks. eventually, i win. cutscene.

Rab gonna get that training, yay.
Rab also rolled high intuition and realized she was a little too good as a bunny girl and Pang subtly admits it. alas he couldn't follow it up right, got told to do knuckle pushups or something, and got smacked.

which is to say, he's absolutely into this.

save.
cutscene with mermaid giving a poem and i'm now playing Finding Nemo. whose story is this one?
...wait i seriously did turn into a fish, oh god. how does losing the power of the Luminairy turn me into a fucking fish?
