Dragon Quest 11 Currently in what is considered Act 2 of the game, having just made it back to Arboria. That... was definitely a nasty gut punch for me. Even more so, given that I viewed that character in a similar light to Ashlynn from Dragon Quest 6; who up until this game was my favorite mage of ...

Was it bugged in the Japanese version? Because if memory serves me they chose not to implement the party chat in the localized DS version (even though it was supposedly already translated). I believe they did include it in the mobile release though.

In anticipation for the release of Dragon Quest 11 on Switch, I've been doing a Dragon Quest marathon, of sorts, over the past 2 months. What I've completed so far: Dragon Quest I & II (GBC) Dragon Quest III (GBC) Dragon Quest Monsters (GBC) Dragon Quest 4 (DS) Dragon Quest 5 (DS) Dragon Quest 6...

Been playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, haven't touched a Mario Kart game since Double Dash. Although I barely played DD back in the day which was due to a lack of interest in it. I've completed all of 150CC, Mirror Mode, and 200CC at 3 stars. 200CC has been a complete surprise. I was expecting a heavier ...

I still standby what I said about War Magus. Their problems in this team are intricately linked to a lack of a dedicated status-inducing class. I've somewhat fixed their status infliction problems by subbing them as a Nightseeker. I've given up on them using Artery and now have opted for War Respons...

So one thing that I've noticed on my second file is that with the voices being on Mute, this game activates way too many voice tracks. The reason why this is noticeable is that they lower the audio of the BGM where a voice track should activate. You'd think that they would have disabled this feature...

Started up another file (for when I listen to podcasts), this run is that theorycrafted Imperial team I had in mind: Imperial, Protector, War Magus -- Gunner, Zodiac I had transitioned the main save to the SD card and proceeded to use the Delete Data option (to wipe out the level cap unlock). Much t...

Made it to the Superboss, don't know if I have it in me to even want to attempt this with this particular party. At multiple attempts, it's just that I doubt it will improve all that much with 14 more levels (maybe I'm wrong). As of now, my Hero using a maxed Elemental Shield on the first turn goes ...

Also, I petted the squirrel , because who wouldn't? Forgot that I only had one Ariadne Thread left... Dreadest backtracking ever XD I just got to this event, I'm kind of surprised that they didn't give this demonic squirrel the ability to completely drain the TP of a Farmer. With it taking my last ...

One thing that I've noticed with the re-balanced EO5 Forge system is that I found myself never using the Ingots. The reason for why this happened to me is that the weapons gained from FOE/Boss drops usually can't be upgraded. Meanwhile, the random monster drops were, for the most part, very plentifu...

So the 12th Labyrinth boss... My first reaction isn't what they give as an option, but: "Can we just limit this to Kvasir and Vivian?". This boss is kind of ridiculous when the RNG gets screwy. Being spammed with endless amounts of arm binds, stuns, and party-wide attacks isn't really ...

So having just read that Natural Edge is actually affected by the Elemental Arms skills... Decided to do a cursory test on 2 groups of unfortunate Grasseaters in Lush Woodlands: Note 1: Natural Edge (2) on Farmer Note 2: Level 73 Note 3: Farmer's STR comparison: Hero (72), Farmer (62), Highlander (9...

11th Labyrinth boss dead, they seemed much easier than they were in EOU . I would wager they were similar in difficulty to EO4's version. Also kind of surprised that they took a weapon, "The Answerer" , from another boss, Hippogryph , and gave it to Iwaoropenelep as their conditional d...

Finished the 10th Labyrinth boss with no issues; came very close to getting their conditional too. After that, I kind of figured it's about time to go after the other boss conditionals. Had to use a Formaldehyde on Harpuia because screw Curse conditionals. Unfortunately, now I'm looking directly at ...
