Is this going to be a thing?
I’d rather not fall into a volcano.
Apparently, it is going to be a thing.
This guy is on-the-ground shitfaced, and has no problem recognizing my character’s gender.
I figured recruiting a thief meant I wouldn’t need a key…
Yes.
Not doing this to get revenge for the death of your parents. I’m doing this to get revenge for the death of my parent. Go commit acts of genocide against monsters yourself, asshole.
Wait, like champagne?
Apparently, I don’t even need to find and defeat the archfiend Baramos to become a hero, I just need to find some shitty crown.

This easter egg is only present in the MSX version. At a certain point in the game, if you speak to the King of Ladatorm without having anything equipped with the princess, he’ll give you the Skimpy Swimsuit. (And now you know what La-Mulana was referencing.)
The Japanese text translates to “Woah, that lady behind you isn’t even wearing cotton clothes! It’s pitiful that somebody so cute doesn’t have anything to wear.”

the constant reaction to your character being a girl is definitely a thing, and it could be gross/annoying, but when i played it earlier this year i kinda read it like, “oh! you’re a girl!” i.e. an affirmation of loto/erdrick’s status as a CANONICALLY nb/trans person.
which… rules?
honestly it’s such a relief to see thoughts i had and tweets i made echoed here lol

Some of it is a wink and a nudge in reference to the king calling you “Ortega’s son” regardless of your gender choice in the original
i love that what actually happened to Ortega was he got into a cool fight with a dragon, but everyone just says like “oh he fell into a volcano” it just sounds so ignominious
Costume spoilers, jeez.

I know it’s this, but I think after the first instance, it starts feeling like the writer (Horii?) was particularly proud of the joke, but nobody told him it stops being clever if you keep doing it.
I’m also disappointed I can’t fight any of these people being like, “oh, you’re a girl?”. Let me knock the shit out of some enemy called the Misogenie or something.

Sorry. But also good luck trying to find it. I use guides for all the armor materials.
Oh yeah, I will eventually get there, I just like not knowing about what they look like ahead of time.

can’t get over how lame that trunks haircut is that the dq11 hero has. it’s such a second-fiddle character haircut.

I think it’s very cute and one of the character’s few redeeming androgynous qualities. Had I known that picking a name would name my character and not just my save file, I wouldn’t have used my own name. DQXI really carries over the tradition of misgendering me and calling me a “strapping young man” for 100 hours.

Not having a gender select post-DQIII is one of the series’ biggest letdowns.

i guess all dq protagonists have looked super lame. except for like, viii, he looked kind of cool because he had a bandana.

however, I was genuinely impressed that the protagonist’s design and backstory made me actually enthusiastic to wear the doofy looking dundrasil armor when I got it
as with everything else in DQ11, what seems atavistic at first glance has actually been done as thoughtfully as possible
