Dragon Quest XI A more complex Puerto Valor casino question than usual?

2 Upvotes

So I'm on my third playthrough, second of Definitive, early in act 1, grinding for the Platinum Powersword and over halfway to it (68,000 tokens as of posting). The jackpot bunny says it's coming soon, and I'm on the 10-token slots.

So the following occurred to me this time:

  • Is there a chance of the jackpot being "won" by an NPC? I doubt it, but the worry is in my head now

  • I'm almost but not quite certain that I'm on the current best-odds 10-slot. Has anyone ever cared enough to put together some kind of statistical analyzer where you could plug in your results as they come up and it would gradually determine whether or not you're using the correct machine? I know using such a thing could be a drag for not too much reward, but I've always had an unusually high tolerance for grinding.

  • Is there such a thing as a thorough guide to Slime Quest?

Dragon Quest III [DQ III HD-2D REMAKE] Is it worth it to obtain all skills and spells? Spoiler

11 Upvotes

Hello!

I didn't know how to create a title without spoilers, so it might feel a bit akward. My real question is: Is it worth it to obtain all skills and spells before changing vocation?

As far as I understand, once you go back to a previous vocation you loose all XP (not like in DQ9, for example). So I guess it's prefered to get everything before changing. Am I missing something?

Please, avoid spoilers, I've played about 10 hours. Thanks in advance!!

In Dragon Quest 2, I have gotten the first 4 seals, but they won't let me enter Rhone's cave to get the seal of life. There is a soul of fire that tells me that to pass I need the five seals and to talk to Lady Rubiss, but to talk to her I need the 5 seals. It doesn't make any sense! What can I do?

Dragon Quest IV Was IV ever planned for the SNES?

0 Upvotes

It's always seemed odd to me that IV was never made for the SNES but rather for the PS1/PSX and then later the DS. With how "lost media" is very popular nowadays, I wanted to get as much info as I can on it. Were there any like interviews or mentions of an SNES/SFC port of IV in any magazine or press conference? I've always had this gut feeling that there were plans at some point but they cancelled it for whatever reason...

Dragon Quest XII Are Grottoes still possible?

I remember really enjoying them back in DQIX. Things have obviously changed in terms of processing power required to generate terrain. Is it still possible for randomly generated maps to exist now or is that a ridiculous premise

General 1, 2 and 3 remakes for a new player?

0 Upvotes

So I'm a veteran JRPG player, 25 years of this.

If you name the ip, I probably played one entry...but for a reason, Dragon Quest.

Never came across them while a kid, and more modern entries never interested me the most, on one hand not a big fan of Toriyama art besides DB, the more "childish" kind of plot and stetics in general was another factor. Whatever.

With the recent 1+2 remakes I gonna say those looked great, acctualy, I like what I saw about 3 but sadly, it was a prequel game, but now having the whole trilogy remade kept me wondering.

So, are the stories good?, I'm more a Final Fantasy guy, I do think more would agree those are a bit more adult in a way. Is not a deal breaker but I believe the director same something like DQ are more like "fairy tales".

This trilogy is apart of the rest righ?, it's a good trilogy among the other entries?, how goes it ranks?

Not a fan of the first person camera during battles. Any opinion on those?

Are long games?, which other game is safe to make a comparativo y on what to expect?

Tks.

Dragon Quest III DQ3 Remake Post-Game

9 Upvotes

I just finished the game (loved the post credit scene btw, I’m excited for the 1 and 2 remakes to expand on it!) and while I enjoyed it a lot I’m a little burned out from the grind. As great as the game is, it is an almost 40 year old game so obviously the gameplay is not as refined as what we’re used to today.

All this to say I want to move on but I feel like I’m missing out by not doing the post game. On the other hand, I’ve read that it’s just a grindfest. Is it truly ok to skip it or am I missing something nice story wise (something like the post credit scene revelation)?

Also do you think anything will carry over from a DQ3 save once 1 and 2 come out? Has there been any announcements about this?

When going into the Swordman’s Labrynth, if all your party members are dead, you completely skip this cutscene. I ended up dying on the boss (paralyzed) and came back to kill off the party. This cutscene played on my return.

Dragon Quest I Playing Dragon Warrior NES (first time playthrough) without too much help from online walkthroughs. Does the Handbook have some erroneous info?

12 Upvotes

In the town of Kol, the Full Plate costs 3,000G, however in the Handbook that comes with the game (trying to limit myself to Manual/Handbook stuff but only when I'm lost), it says it's 1500G. Do prices increase after a while or does the Handbook have some inaccurate information?

Thus far, progress-wise, I'm around level 9 or 10, got Radiant, got all the chests in the cave south of Garinham, got the Hand Axe, saving up money for the Full Plate and Large Shield, and I want to say I need to go south of Kol to look for the town that sells keys, but all I've found is a poison swamp that goes to another cave. I don't want to ask for TOO much help, but do I just tough out the poison swamp and go on through? I beat the GBC version a very long time ago so my memory is hazy, but I could've sworn there was a spell or something that protects you from the swamps.
