    Dragon Quest X Offline is... odd

    Posted: 15 Jul 2021 08:13 AM PDT

    Dragon Quest X. The holy grail of this franchise for us Westerners. The game we can't play. Or so I thought until I found a guide on how to easily get the game installed on Switch. I already have a JP eShop account (Famicom Online), so I figured why not give it a small little peak, even though I can't read Japanese. I ended up getting really into it nonetheless. DQX is remarkably user-friendly to the point where I was able to get through the options menu and make my camera control non-inverted without even bringing up Google Translate. And so far, I'm enjoying it (Even though I've only played like 2 hours and I spent an hour of that fiddling around in character creation because I always do that).

    But it got me thinking. Dragon Quest X Offline was something announced in May. And it might get an actual localization. Something that a month ago would've made me ecstatic. But playing Dragon Quest X now, I think even if Offline got a translation? I'd just keep playing OG DQX, Japanese and all. Offline's general style just really doesn't gel with me, it's way too cutesy and almost reminds me of FFXV Pocket Edition. It doesn't have that same crisp style as DQX. And I think that also might affect the storytelling. Just from synopsis' I've read combined with the general atmosphere, I can already tell DQX has a bit of a harder edge to it than some other games. And I don't know how that can be preserved with the chibi-esque style of Offline.

    Now for Japan, that's entirely fine. They have both versions of the game, one that's the full experience, and a cheaper Offline version with a more cutesy art style to reflect the more budget nature. Completely understandable. But if DQX Offline is gonna be the only way that DQX ever gets officially supported in the West? Idk, that just feels like sloppy seconds to me. I don't care that it's offline, I usually end up playing MMOs as either a solo journey or small group co-op journey anyways. But it just feels weird to me that the only version of DQX we might get is one that doesn't look or feel like DQX does. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it'll still be a fantastic game (This series is remarkably consistent in quality after all). It's just a bit weird knowing that even if we get the coveted English localization through DQX Offline, I might end up ignoring it and just continue playing un-localized regular DQX.

    Another concern I have is how much of DQX will be in DQX Offline at all. Will it just be the base game (Which is entirely free-to-play in DQX for the record)? Or will it include all 5 expansions as well? And if it does, does that mean DQX won't get anymore expansions? It's just a little confusing for me.

    Finally, question to Squeenix, but why did they never localize DQX itself? They had said as far back as 2016 that they would if fans demanded it. Fans have demanded it. Plus Square has a rock-solid U.S. base for the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV, now with a free trial including the award-winning Heavensword expansion that lets you play up to level 60 (Not sponsored. But also, I totally would sponsor FFXIV hit me up Squeenix). I'm not sure why they never tried to expand DQX's success here, especially given how much they were emphasizing DQXI in the west. It's all just... odd.

    Can King metal slimes really be found in Battleground during act 2 ?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2021 10:17 AM PDT

    There are a few sites mentioning them giving 70k xp in the Battleground yet I didn't find any metal slime (at all) over there. I know they can spawn in postgame but can you farm them over there in act 2 ? If yes which monster allow them to spawn ?

    What items cannot carry over from 3d mode to 2d mode? (possible item spoilers)

    Posted: 15 Jul 2021 08:49 AM PDT

    I know that most story items won't carry over like sword of light though I'm specifically asking about items like Jade's blue bunny suit . Will it carry over? Will it not? and what about crimson cat suit? If anyone knows ever piece of equipment / item / key item that won't carry over, can you please tell me?

    (Solo Hero Challenge DQ7) You don’t have to fight anything on the Sir Mervyn only part! Avoid and flee everything.

    Saw someone post their DQ9 Battle Records so here’s mine! I did a solo run on this save file and just went with it.

    Is Dq6 that bad?

    Posted: 15 Jul 2021 09:13 AM PDT

    I see a lot of people on youtube saying that dragon quest VI is the worst game in the franchise. I haven't played it yet, but I was thinking about it, as the class system looks pretty cool. Is it worth playing or is it better to skip to Dragon Quest VII?

    For series veterans, what are the biggest twists that blew your mind?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 10:13 PM PDT

    Newbie here and at the start of DQ XI Act 3. I don't mind spoilers. Fell in love with the game because of all its unexpected turns. Does DQ XI have the best twist of all games or are there crazier ones?

    Which games have monster recruitment?

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:18 PM PDT

    My 5 y.o. daughter loves DW4, in particular the part where you get Healie. I told her there are other DQ games where you recruit monsters to fight for you, but I am wondering which ones actually have that. Can somebody help me out?

    Thanks!

    Dragon Quest 11 Post-Game

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 03:40 PM PDT

    Hey so I have played DQ9 for a thousand hours when I was a kid. I recently decided to pick up a Nintendo Switch and was wondering if DQXI is somewhat relatable post-game wise, such as grotto hunting and more?

    DQ2 question:

    Posted: 14 Jul 2021 06:14 PM PDT

    I am just wondering which versions of the game have balance improvements, and/or what other changes have been made from one version to the next.

    Also, which versions of the game have the best / worst sounding music?

    Sorry if this has been covered a million times already. Thx!
