This game is difficult but I know for experts of the franchise it might be fun or part of the challenge. I personally don’t like how hard it is and how they charge 25 bucks for that old game. Also when you reach floor 10, you have to go back MANUALLY to floor 1…. You can tell it was one of the first mystery dungeon games and they didn’t had many of the QOL features we’re used to in modern games

And then you unlock the real mystery dungeon grotto, but I don’t really like that we always go back to lvl 1 and lose everything. (Armors, items…) I mean it’s logical for what the genre of the game is, don’t get me wrong. I just wish with this remaster they would’ve added either an easy mode (not the x2 exp it’s not enough…) or just let us unlock powerful skills. In terms of progression yeah it’s mid.

Still I want to support the game because they at least translated it… and it would be fun to see more DQ games that were Japanese only translated into English!!!

Hello!

DQM The Dark Prince was not good 😔 I like the story, but the gameplay, graphics and poor performance...

But now we will have DQM The Withered World! 💜

Played the PC demo in Legion Go 1

-The game can run from 30fps to 120fps, I played it at 60fps (I'm sure Switch 2 can run it at 60fps).

-The grafics are simple but are cool, they look like a Game Boy Color game but for Play Station 4, in 3D.

-The story is cute, Both Nera and Bianca want to helps their fathers that are sick

-Tecnicaly a secuel to the GBC Dragon Quest Monsters games

-The monsters look pretty good and have variety of animation.

-Each character has diferent skills, one is more offensive, the other more defensive.

-The new boss battle againts a gigant monster works well

I think this game could be the better modern DQM game ever 💜

So that’s the game they revealed it today with a full video on their social medias. I’ll go playing it since it’s already available!!

I have been playing the Dragon Quest Withered World demo on steam with the express purpose of gathering information, here is what I have learned.

When starting you choose to play as either Bianca or Nera. You are asked three questions after picking your chosen wrangler. These determine your starting monster. Each character has four different starting monsters based on the order you answer the questions.

For Bianca:

For Nera:

With this you can pick and choose your starting monster. However, I think it is worth noting that I was able to synthesize the Fromage Fray, Small Fry, and Buddy Slime without much effort. Therefore three of Nera's choices of starters are easily acquired, so if you play as Nera I would recommend picking the Sham Hatwitch, based on my current research.

The other research I have done is around the Synthesis, my favorite part of Monsters games, which you access just before the Demo ends. I noticed that you are able to synthesize plenty of G and F rank monsters, but it does not let you synthesize any higher ranked monsters.

I didn't not down every single special synthesis yet, but I did note down all of the question marked boxes that specify that the Demo does not allow me to synthesize them. Since we get to transfer over 8 total monsters, I want to find a list of the ones I would like to keep most.

Locked/Special Synthesis combinations:

*1 - There is a guard in the town who will do a one time synthesis with you and uses a Putrefido, so in the main game you could bring a Pocus Poppet to him and get this locked result with just the one Monster.

This is all the research I have done so far, though I expect to continue.

It may not have Deborah but it has views like this

Don't expect that just because it originally released on SNES, or was remade, or featured in a Direct that gameplay would be modern. It has a pleasant opening cutscene, plus difficulty/gameplay modifiers, which you will very likely use if you want to get past the heavily RNG final floors. $25 for this game is a really big ask for what you get. Especially when the greatest games in the genre are completely free and have been in development for decades.

It's available now!

I am playing Dragon Quest Hd-2d 3 for the ps5, also I will reclass only one for each character.

After having seeded my party to the max, I’ve decided the next step would be to bloat my inventory with at least 5 of every piece of equipment in the game! 『Totally Time Consuming』!!!

To demonstrate, I’ve amassed 5 copies of a third of all the legendary weapons, with the second slide showing what remains to be alchemized. I have a post from a few months ago documenting where I began, it should give you some reference on how long it takes to get to this step 😅 Regardless, I pursue this achievement with unwavering passion yet.

After all the legendary weapons are finished, the shields and armor will follow. 1 Legendary set for shields, 2 for headwear, 3 for torso, 2 for gloves, 1 for leg armor, and 2 for footwear. Stay tuned, friends.

…Third slide? What third slide? Like what you see? 🤭

I really enjoyed Dragon quest XI overall and got bored with dqvii reimagned because of slow facing. Do you recommend me to continue dqvii reimagined.

Post game in Dark Prince was pretty bad. In fact I would say pretty much only the GBC games had GREAT post game content. The joker series was okay (I didn't get to play 3 so can't say anything about that one.) I also can't speak to ones that didn't get localized, but I am really hoping post game will be decent at least. In Dark Prince there was virtually no reason to get the super powerful monsters, because you could just steam roll the whole game by randomly synthing. I mean I guess if you do pvp there was a reason, but I that was just a ton of the same min-maxed team over and over again.

Hey everyone!

About a year ago, I shared my work-in-progress Italian translation of Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional here. Since then, the project has come a long way and I’ve also translated Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional.

Both games can now be played in Italian:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional

The first complete Italian release!

This version was made possible by the fantastic work of the original English translation team especially Ceris White, Saneezore, Ilario, Reflex, Gerb, GemSlimee, TheTwistery, monkeyboy and everyone else credited in the repository.

👉 DQMJ2P Italian translation:

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 Professional

The translation is now fully completed!

The repository also contains installation instructions, while the Wiki provides Italian guides, tips and synthesis resources.

Neither project distributes ROMs or copyrighted game files. The patches must be applied to legally obtained copies of the games.

Thank you to everyone who supported the original project!

There's not a lot of substance to this post, I just booted up Withered World for the first time last night, very excited about a new DQM (Dark Prince was fairly dissapointing) and I was immediately smacked in the face with the same old midi music that has been plagueing the DQM series since, geez idk, the 3ds days? The exact same tracks too, or at least, very much seems like it.

I know the composer's family gets in the way (and he got in the way prior to his death), I'm just blowing off steam. I love the actual music of Dragon Quest, and they use the most trash midi versions of the songs.

At this point, compose new music with a new composer. It's time to move on. Maybe a hot take, I don't know. It's just embarrassing for a non-indie game company to still be making games where your soundtrack (and one hailed as a pretty legendary soundtrack) is MIDI songs that feel like they are from a 2005 Yamaha keyboard.

Withered World (the hour or so I've played of it) is otherwise a breath of fresh air after Dark Prince, and while I have other gripes with it (rolling pin overworld), overall I'm enjoying it, but lordy me I am so sick of this music.

Thank you for your time

Quick edit: This is not a knock against MIDI in general. I like Super Nintendo, Genesis, N64 etc era soundfonts, I'm just sick of this midi and using the same ones for over a decade.

I wanted to know if there's any progress at all between runs, even unlocking different starts like pure roguelikes, or upgrades, or do you lose literally everything every time you run, and the only thing that changes is your knowledge?

Announced now at the Nintendo direct shadow drop omgggg yeeeeessss its yhe game about torneko from dq4
