Since I'm done with DQXI, I jumped back into DQX to finish the 3.x story.
Today, I was able to clear 3.1 and wow, people who said that 3.x bosses are much harder than previous ones weren't kidding (and my party has 4 lv 99 characters).
I'm very glad that I finally hit 99 on my 魔戦 and started working on skills. Got my 1HS to 150 and the difference is huge - instead of hitting for ~100-200 when under Kabuff, I can now spam sword skills which do a total of 800-1000 damage. Now I only need to get a few of the other classes a bit higher (already got most of the passives I need) to have my Shield skill at 150 too.

I mentioned the Switch IP block when you asked for it earlier in the thread and to be honest it would be extremely weird if the PS4 version didn't have it. It's still the same servers and all the other versions (3DS version aside, but that's streaming, not running the actual client) have it.
It probably does, but I'm sure you can use a VPN or a proxy server (I did this when I used to play Dragon's Dogma Online) and will probably try doing the same thing once the PS4 of DQX releases.
I used to do this before when I used to play it on the PC but now I have a problem where my PC is causing my PS4 to give me an IP ban when both are turned on.
Phew, finished 3.2 story today. I loved the puzzle dungeon, felt like one from a regular single player RPG, not just big corridors with a bunch of strong enemies like some of the early ones.
Still enjoying the game a lot, but 3.x areas feel really weird. A bit too... extreme, I guess? With each being so different than the others. I guess there's a story explanation for that, but so far I think I've liked the first expansion more. Especially with the big twist.
Bosses are getting harder. Not in a sense that they can easily kill me. Getting both 1HS and shield at 150 was definitely a good idea, although I now have more useful skills than rounds in a battle, which makes it a bit harder to prioritize. The hard part is that the battles are taking so long that my whole party runs out of mana, so I have to throw mp potions at everyone. Sometimes multiple times.
By the way, (I think) my character is no longer useless, so feel free to use him!

If I found one that could actually connect it was reliable, but sometimes it may go down (usually temporary) and you'll have to find another one.
Thanks a lot.
/hug vpn
I can share vpn from router or directly LAN cable from pptp pc, doing this method since wii version, so I'm fine, I guess.
Speaking of PS4, who's getting that version tomorrow?
It's been discussed here before, remember that the subscription is separate between PC+Nintendo consoles and PS4 (this includes paid options) and the PS4 subscription is more expensive - forced 1500 5 character course, versus the default 1000 yen 3 characters course on other platforms.

If anyone grabs the PS4 version can you tell us if the IP restriction applies to it?
Figuring it does but I can always cross my fingers

I got through the final boss battle of 3.4 yesterday and wow, the story really goes places. Which is great, I love it. Guess I have only the 3.5 and the climax left. I'm a bit worried about the boss fights, but if I understand correctly, I should be able to select the lower difficulty level.
One thing that I was curious about, as someone who partied up maybe 2 times total outside of the Pair Metal Dungeon. How do people clear a new chunk of the story when it's first released. Fighting 3.x bosses hasn't been that easy even on the easy difficulty and with 3 level 99 partner NPCs. Do people try to power through those enemies or do they make parties with other people and go through those whole dungeons together?
I want to know this, because I'll probably play 4.0 as soon as it releases and I don't want to hit a wall just because I don't know what I should do.

Because we are hardcore /joke
As hard as they were, it's not that hard compare to another MMO raid bosses, there still a way to defeat it in a few minutes with prepared team or great geared AI.
Check on youtube with bosses name.
3.2 and 3.3 are the versions that actually had very tough bosses. After that it became more mellow.
At the time those versions launched, and before the easy difficulties were unlocked, you basically had to play with other human players because stat advantage alone would not get you through some of the boss fights. The wave multi boss battle (first one in the ice realm) required two warriors using their stagger charge special at the right time and the CPU simply didn't do that (CPU doesn't wait for the right time).
When you reach a boss that you can't beat on your own, you can reach out to other solo players you see dead before the boss room. Or chat up some friends who already beat them. The friend who helped us with the above mentioned ice realm boss actually beat that boss solo though. It can be done with amazing stats and strategy.
Thanks for your input, that definitely sounds fun!
I just realized that I can have set 160/170/180 point skills in multiple categories. For some reason I was sure that you can only set it for one. Now I have to bump some of my other classes a bit more and get those sweet Sword/Shield 180 point skills!
Question about 3.5:

Question about 3.5:
Is there another boss fight where I'll need to have a leveled up princess? I completely ignored that feature and had some problems during the end of 2.x, but if I'll need her again, I really should do something about it.
I don't think she got any experience in that battle, so she's probably at the default level, whatever that is, ha ha (20? 30?).
I finally finished the 3.x story today. What an amazing ride. DQX definitely is near the top of the list of my favorite Dragon Quest games and I couldn't be more excited for the next expansion.
Aside from the engaging story, I really adore the cutscene direction. I think I've mentioned it here before, but it really puts FF14 cutscenes to shame.

So thinking about returning to DQX on the PC and haven't played since PC launch with the all in one version. Does that include just versions 1 and 2? Also how much is the subscription to renew my character and is it worth me getting version 3 not or wait until I reach it in the story.
After finishing the story yesterday, I grabbed the 2 remaining Zoom Stones I could and got my other classes high enough to have 180 skills points in 1HS/Shields/Force. Feels good!
No idea how DQX works with features added as parts of expansions though.

I thought they just made it unplayable offline and made it online, like the rest of the game.
Edit:
I guess they're removing the second part of the offline mode (but you'll be able to watch those cutscenes somewhere in the game) and making the prologue online:
How would you play it online? It's very...solo-oriented
Pretty much this. I haven't watched that stream myself, but I just assumed that they want to hook it up to the rest of the infrastructure. Iirc right now they'd have to patch it separately from the online part (and they haven't) which is the reason it stutters like crazy on PC.
Probably easier to manage on the back end and 2 new console releases, new expansion, and dropping the Wii version are a good time for this move.
I can vouch for that community. Joined them a few months ago when I got back into the game and they've been pretty helpful, both on the board and in game. Not that many people playing in JST prime time though.
Good people for sure. Always friendly and helpful. I used to play before work which was just right for JST. These days I don't get a chance. How's the DQ11 crossover stuff?
I haven't checked the DQ11 collaboration event in the game myself, but from what I remember the first part required you to talk with Sylvia to get the parade outfit and now you need to talk to an NPC and give him the ふっかつのじゅもん from 11.
You can get a framed painting of the cover artwork for your house, one statue of a XI party member of your choice, a gesture which has you read an illustrated magazine, a clingy puppet version of the yocchi you encounter in X and an item for use in battle (isn't consumed but limited to one time per battle). The item will be named after the hero character from the XI save game used to make the resurrection spell, i.e. Heart of (name). It kind of allows your X character to use zone in X.
How many reward items are actually available depends on how far the resurrection spell is into the game in XI.

I used this one, but mainly for maps. Definitely the best ones out there, since they have pop locations for monsters.
I mainly used this wiki, since it has screenshots for most quests, which makes finding things easier. Also guides for bosses and map coordinates for quest givers etc.
I mainly used this general guide for all versions, which also mentions useful quests at the timing they unlock. Definitely can recommend it.
Cheapest way right now is probably to order the last remaining copy of the standalone physical version here.
When version 4 comes out, it'll be cheaper to buy the all-in-one package to get version 3 and 4 together.
I don't think there will be an all-in-one version that includes 4 until sometime after 4 launches on its own. I could be wrong though. IIRC the pattern is, standalone release, all-in-one-package a few months before the next standalone release, repeat.
No, like most (all?) MMO expansions, version 3 doesn't come with any game time.
Damn, looks like my ProxyCap trial is over and I can't seem to find a good one to work. Tried that Proxifier but couldn't get that to work.
