So where are these framerate issues happening? Or is it pretty constant?
I remember in DQ 5, everytime you went to this grass hut town (don't remember the name of it), the framerate would drop significantly. And it was just that one town, everything else was fine. At least from what I noticed.

I see framerate drops with four party members in a variety of scenes; heavy grass plus a few monsters in the overworld, city scenes with multiple characters, etc. Interiors and dungeons generally seem to be spared.
Loving this, too, although I didn't realize you could recruit a party for the Wight Knight so I ground until level 14 solo and then went and beat him
. I'm now nicely over-levelled for everything, though, fought the Witch at level 16 with three level 12 party members, hehe.

Yeah I figured it was something like that. I never had a problem charging my DS Lite when I stayed by my mom's during these trips. But they have a bunch of those heavy duty converters. My sister only has one of those smaller ones meant for minor electronics. It must not be strong enough. I'll be spending the next few nights at my parents, so I guess I can live another night without DQ9.PunjabiPlaya said:
Maybe.
Thanks for responding though!

What's the interplay between classes and weapon skills as far as learning abilities, transfering skills etc. goes? Also is it possible to max out all weapon skills or is it like DQVIII where the maximum numbers of points is less than you'd need? Also can you reset your skills if you feel you've gone down a path that isn't going to be beneficial in the long term.

Did you find a solution for charging your DS Mejilan?
Worst case there has to be some store that sells chargers for different parts of the world or converters. You could try and go to some hotel and ask them if they got some and where did they got it. Thats what I did last time I was in UK

Hey, thanks for this, I just ordered a copy. Been trying to find one reasonably priced for a while, never occurred to be to check S-E :lol
I took him down with my hero at level 9 and the rest of my party at 5. The mage died right before the last blow (and immediately prior to landing a heal on him, damn it). It was a close fight, closer than it needed to be considering I forgot about Hot Licks until half way through.kai3345 said:
Kind of. I've decided that my sister's converter is a piece of crap, and that DQ9 will have to wait until tomorrow, at which point I'll have access to their more robust converters. It's what I've been doing for the last couple of years whenever I've flown down to visit the family. This is just the first time I spend a number of sequential days at my sister's instead.Melhisedek said:
So I fought Wight Knight at level 9 with my party at level 7.
I had me (A Minstrel) a Mage, a Priest and a Warrior.
My mage died about 2 turns in, but then I just spammed attack with my MC and Warrior and then Defend or heal when needed with my priest, and he went down pretty fast.
I went back to the Inn and the Wi-Fi shop lady wasnt there, do I have to

Yeah I'm not sure why folks would make a purchasing decision for DQ based on it, it's more a curiosity for those of us who are involved in game dev, wondering what the hell they're doing with so little on screen to get such performancegblues said:
.It's cute when you notice not all the people in the game are polygonal, too. Like when the sprite guards come and escort Princess Mona away after the Witch fight

My Hero is apparently an "alternative" hero. He just needs a better shield so he can be totally ~stylin~
I wish I had made a girl main character, because the female Minstrel armor is so cool looking.
My main was at 8, and the others were at 5 or so I think. I had a main/thief/mage/clerickai3345 said:
I had purchased the best Claws I could afford. Armor was middling. The main had a large defense but the others were eh. Pretty much all my damage came from casting the ice spell.
edit: others must have been 6 because my mage had just gotten crack

Quick question. I've noticed there is an Adventure log and a Quick-Save Log.
Does this technically mean you could have 2 separate characters (one you ONLY save under the adventure log, the other you ONLY save under the Quick-Save log)?
Or do you lose the Quick Save when you turn off the DS

I've been playing it on both my original DS fat and my new DSi XL and I prefer the graphics on the fat's smaller screen. They seem sharper and the smaller screen hides a lot of the imperfections of the graphics. It's like the DSi XL makes you notice how outdated the graphics are in DQ IX. The flat pixelated characters look really odd on the the XL. The 3D characters look pretty good though. I'll probably play through most of the game with my XL, because I just spent a bunch of money on something that I'll rarely touch when the 3DS comes out.

About an hour in after impulse buying it, very favorable so far (first DQ game).
I'm thinking about making my main character look like Crono and making the rest of my crew Chrono Trigger themed. The spiky red hair and green eyes are easy enough, but I wonder if any of the armor looks similar in appearance.
I really had no idea how customizable this game was before I bought it. Are all the members that join your team permanently similarly as customizable as the lead?

The actual problem is that unlike most chargers, the DS charger is not multistage. It only accepts one type of voltage. So standard outlet adapters do not work in other areas of the world. I had to buy a voltage transformer for 40 bucks in order to use my charger in the UK.Mejilan said:
It would be cheaper just to buy a UK DS charger in the UK since the use the same port it works fine. I had to buy a transformer since I could expense it as a business expense.
Gotta ask again if anyone has a class guide that they can link?, it would be a great help. There is just to much to do in this game, what the fuck was Yuji Horii talking about 40 hours for a normal games playthrough??!! :lol I think I can play well over 100 hrs with this sucker.

Is anyone else main character kinda weaksauce? My MC can do shit while my Warrior is wrecking fools and my Mage ( when she isn;t trying to hit people despite having full MP) is making fools explode and shit. I can't wait to change class'
