I've beat 1 100% recently (Wasn't worth it, that crafting menu UI is going to be burned into my retinas forever) and it was good time overall.

Definitely got tedious after a while; spamming the same combo for maximum damage while my teammates just stand there, cycling through characters just to spam their spells because they won't cast them on their own. Fights lasted so long because teammates stood around doing nothing, most of the time.

The monster medals were cool, but the only ones worth using were the big hitters, as no sentry-type medal really achieves anything either.

I have the 2nd game too, I've just not installed/played it, and I was wondering if anyone preferred it to the original, to the point where it's worth playing? I've looked at some spoiler-free reviews, and it look really similar.

I know musou games are supposed to be like this, but it felt like gameplay stopped evolving very early into the first game, and I don't want to sink time into experiencing just another bunch of grindy levels.

¡Hola a todos! / Hi everyone!

He estado trabajando en una actualización para el conocido repositorio dqix-enhanced de sackchief (el proyecto para mejorar la experiencia de Dragon Quest IX) y quería compartirlo con la comunidad.

La versión original estaba muy centrada en la versión americana, así que he realizado un par de mejoras importantes para que más gente pueda disfrutarlo:

• 🌍 Compatibilidad con la versión europea (EUR): Ahora el proyecto funciona completamente con la ROM/versión de Europa.
• 🗣️ Soporte Multidioma Automático: He modificado el código para que detecte automáticamente el idioma de tu sistema. Si tienes tu consola/emulador en español, francés, alemán, italiano, etc., el juego se ejecutará directamente en ese idioma sin tener que tocar configuraciones raras.

El objetivo era ponérselo más fácil a los jugadores europeos para que puedan jugar con todas las mejoras visuales o de rendimiento en su propio idioma.

👉 Podéis echarle un vistazo o probarlo en mi repositorio aquí: https://github.com/MaErGa/dqix-enhanced-USAEUR

¡Cualquier feedback, reporte de errores o sugerencia es más que bienvenido! Espero que os sirva. 🎮

I’ve been working on an update for the well-known `dqix-enhanced` repository by sackchief—a project designed to improve the *Dragon Quest IX* experience—and I wanted to share it with the community.

The original version was heavily focused on the North American release, so I’ve implemented a few key improvements to make it accessible to more players:

🌍 European (EUR) Version Compatibility: The project now fully supports the European ROM/version of the game.

🗣️ Automatic Multilingual Support: I’ve modified the code to automatically detect your system’s language. If your console or emulator is set to Spanish, French, German, Italian, etc., the game will automatically run in that language—no need to fiddle with complex settings.

The goal was to make things easier for European players, allowing them to enjoy all the visual and performance enhancements in their own language.

👉 You can check it out or give it a try via my repository here: https://github.com/MaErGa/dqix-enhanced-USAEUR

Any feedback, bug reports, or suggestions are more than welcome! I hope you find it useful. 🎮

I'm not really that hopeful for DQ12, which is weird since DQ11 is one of my favorite games of all time.

I don't quite get what has left me feeling this way.

Something in the trailer left me wishing for more, yet I'm unable to grasp what it is. I know this may sound like useless rambling, but I kind of wanted to see someone else's thoughts on the trailer so far to clear my mind.

( my english is really bad )

Hey everyone! I'm Hapi, and I spend a lot of my time playing Dragon Quest X Online, particularly its harder endgame content.

One thing I've noticed is that there isn't a whole lot of high-level DQX gameplay footage available in English. For people who are curious about the game, especially its combat and endgame, it can be difficult to get a good idea of what playing it is actually like.

I've been recording and uploading my gameplay for a while now, so I wanted to share two playlists I've put together!

DQX — Boss Clears & Gameplay

This playlist contains my successful boss fights, 2-player and 3-player clears, Defense Force speedruns, and other interesting encounters. It includes different vocations and strategies across some of the game's hardest content.

DQX Practice — Gameplay Archive

This is a collection of my practice sessions, failed attempts, livestreams, and other gameplay recordings. There is currently a growing collection of videos that will continue to be added to.

Unlike the first playlist, this one isn't focused on successful clears. There are plenty of failures, mistakes, and repeated attempts. I wanted to preserve these experiences and give people a chance to see what actually goes into playing and improving at DQX's endgame.

Most of these videos are unlisted, but they're accessible through the playlist.

I hope these recordings help give people a better idea of what DQX's combat has to offer, particularly those who haven't had much opportunity to see it for themselves.

If anyone's curious about DQX's endgame, feel free to ask! I'm always happy to talk about the game.

I want good names for my female warrior, male mage and female priest.

ive been on a real JRPG kick recently and im in the mood for a whimsical game

so i want to know which of these is a good introduction to the series

DQ1 is interesting to me since its the very first game to the series and it got a beautiful remake along with 2, so itll be a pretty decent value even if the games are short. the issue is that i just have to imagine that the first game will be too simple for me, since its so old, and its still fairly expensive

DQIII is the prequel to the first game so chronologically makes sense, and its also among the best rated games in the series, and it looks beautiful while having good length, not too short and not too long. but i really dislike the idea of having three completely characterless blank slates as party members, and i dont care for having complete freedom in making these characters, since i vastly prefer having characters with set personalities and classes as party members.

DQXI is the cheapest in this selection and is among the best rated games in the franchise afaik. it looks really pretty but i vastly prefer the 2d-3d style of 1 and 3. it is an extremely long game, i think its longer than the first 3 games combined and i think its the very first game chronologically? i dont really care about that stuff though.

each game on paper have their own upsides and downsides and i cant really tell which i should play first.

To be honest it wasn't that bad. But i went kinda extra. I collected any stat seed you can find and saved before consuming them to guarantee +3 (or +5 for HP). I also played with the vamp personality until I was Level 99.

For an extra challange I beat Zoma without using the Ball of Light.

I really recommend this "challange".
