nosebleed
still really loving this game, playing it just like half an hour or hour at a time, which it in general accommodates really wellā¦ then you get to one of those classic jrpg sequences where you are basically unable to save for like 1.5 hours of constant fighting (but it probably took twice as long as necessary because i didnāt realize you could jump down from that bridge and get straight to the gondolaā¦ l o ā¦ l? also that boss fight was harder than i expected but i might be kinda underlevelled? idk)
Spoilers?
I mean itās DQ but stillā¦
agree with this completely
also wondering if the ps4 ports of 1-3 will show up in the west and on steam eventually
re: xi difficulty, ~55 hours in without any of the draconian flags on and fighting the bare minimum of regular enemy encounters (usually just to steal materials) iāve found the bossesā¦ not super hard or anything but the fights come down to the wire in the same way they usually do when i play dragon quest like this
though it does tilt a bit in your favour when you start getting the more overpowered abilities unlocked obviously - jadeās re-vamp is reaaaally good, and stacks multiple times
This dumb joke goes deeper than I thought and Dragon Ball was actually the origin of this term wow
This guy says poof poof instead of puff puff. Such Britishness shall not be forgiven!
issue 3 iirc
if this is the final sequence of gondolia, I didnāt have to fight until I reached erik. You can sneak past the rest of the soldiers and it shouldnāt take more than 5 min to get there.
yeah, i realized that. i was unable to sneak effectively, i couldnāt figure out exactly what would trigger the guards attention and what wouldnāt. they always seemed to be looking in all directions at once and never moved. eventually i just started running around out in the open because nothing seemed to work. but the main problem was not realizing that to get to the gondola from the bridge you just have to like walk one step forward and jump down. so i spent like 30 minutes running around looking for a stairway that would lead down, before returning to the bridge and realizing you could jump down directly
anyone at the end/postgame? shit is wild load up your save after the āendingā, thereās aā¦ lot more left, an entire third act
i think viii did the same thing
Thereās a group working on a mod to replace every track in the PC version of XI with versions of the orchestral soundtrack that have been edited to seamlessly loop. Iām pumped, apparently theyāre pretty close to done!

iām enjoying this but itās really making me appreciate that RPGs stopped having one (1) background track for walking anywhere outside of town at some point in the last decade
also i refused to stop speaking the italiano to my partner the whole time i was in gondolia so maybe this game will cost me my relazione
Hot damn, my girlfriend and I were doing the same thing, constantly repeating āBenignoā to each other in 60ās Fellini protagonist voices and cackling like the idiots we are.
the spider is indeed a mean bastard
it was tense but i made it through
does anyone else feel like erik doesnt really carry his own weight, i thought we were supposed to be friends man you have a very limited set of abilities
tho tbf maybe i shouldnāt be making him main boomerangs
its ok to do hella murders if youāre doing it for the orphans
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
Boomerangs had a point when Dragon Quest had resource management, but now that you can avoid encounters and have mages unload their best multitarget spells 24/7 theyāre pointless
I have Erik w/ daggers, heās about disabling enemies with sleep, or poisoning bosses. Heās not awful, still the least useful guy in the team though
Is it just me or is there exactly one mini medal per important area, after their introduction? I feel like thereās always at least one in an area and never 2. Makes the hunt easier but removes some mystery!
I dunno, Erikās debuffs combined with his passive damage skills and dual-welding see him getting a lot of use in my lineup. I havenāt really figured out what to do with rab yet. His damage with claws is a tickle and he has some okay spells but nothing that tops Veronica or Serenaās kits? What am I missing?
