DQXI rules

i think even if i didn’t already know i was gonna love this game, tim’s enthusiasm for it would be infectious

This morning I got an HDR hack working for the game. It’s incredible!

This evening it only renders fullscreen squashed into the right 1/8th of the screen. Oh no!

Oh well, guess I missed that. Wonder if I can go back and try again.

But I have a boat.

i can’t decide if “give your protagonist crippling social anxiety” as a difficulty mode is extremely good or too real

I thought my jrpg days were behind me when I tried to play persona 5 and couldn’t get into it at all, but I cannot get enough of this game. Turns out I just need to play really good jrpgs.

If DQ7 didn’t take you 2 years to finish, did you really even play it?

The Sand National may be over but there are still other races to be won.

I did that ‘the person you’re talking to look like someone you have a huge crush on’ one last week and ho boy

All the towns in this game have their own unique atmosphere and they’re all beautiful. I think I’ve spent more time running around towns exploring and talking to people than I have fighting.

oh wow i didn’t know you could change clothes at all in this game

i’m sure it’s not nearly as deep as dq ix / x oc-making shenanigans but still . . . very good

Yeah any equipment with a pink sparkle next to it in the menu means it changes your overall appearance. Sometimes you need multiple items to complete a set though the suit you get for completing the races in Gallipolis is just one piece.

I’m about 22 hours in at this point and I’m travelling the world finding the plot macguffins and doing side quests along the way and this is just a blast to play.

christ on a mountain this casino shit is wild as hell
