I thought those quests meant that the main character had to be a Mage? I could be wrong though, I only did one and it required a Priest which my main character already was.

Need you or the other hero to be a mage. When they say a class, they mean either you or the other hero in that class.
About 25 hours in, misc notes:
1. That difficulty spike I talked about doesn't last the whole game. So I'd definitely say it was a spike. It gets easier after a few hours post-spike.
2. They buffed Maya up the ying yang and now she's amazing. I main her now. They nerfed Terry and now he sucks.
3. Party is now Teresa, Maya, Jessica, Torneko. Jessica is a good healer and good crowd control- before her, I used Gabo. Torneko's healing is great when you beef it up and the MP cost is very low. My husband says he's also good at evasion with tough bosses but I haven't had to use him in that capacity yet.
4. Story is a joke and I can see why my husband skipped the cutscenes in the Japanese version. ~20 hours in:
Male hero literally says that we still need to worry about that seer in a black robe, but lol not our problem right now so let's party!!!
MP is deaaaaaad on PC
It's dead everywhere I think.

Bought this game yesterday with a friend on impulse.
This shit is really fun. I did not expect it to be this solid.
Problem though, it crashes 100% of the time on startup on my desktop (Windows 7). Anyone else having this issue?

This game is way more fun then the previous game by a long shot. I can't wait for post-game content, thing will get brutal if the difficulty spike is like the first game. Wanted monster + some of the mini bosses creature are no joke.
Got 1 little question here:
I got my Thief to level 20, but the quest that suppose to appear to get that key don't seem to appear Story spoiler here :
. This is normal ? or i'm missing another pre-requirement ?

Take back

It is, one of the best Omega Force games.
The advertising campaign for this game has consisted entirely of the DQ Twitter account sending 1, 2 at the most tweets out per day about the game. Should be no surprise the game is dead.
I'm about 10 hours in and enjoying it quite a bit, although I'm not a fan of the halfbaked class system. I haven't played it in a few days thanks to Mario Kart but I'll be getting back into it soon enough.

Square Enix NA doesn't care about Dragon Quest.
Wait, you have to be level 20 in Thief to get the fucking key to unlock locked chests? WHAT THE FUCK. I was wondering why my husband said he beat the whole game without figuring out how to unlock the chests.

Story progress question.
About to go do the thing with the twin kings after freeing the city, please tell me this is no where near the end. This feels so short compared to part 1 if thats the case
You're nowhere near the end.
Edit: Just checked my husband's file, took him nearly 50 hours to complete the game and wasn't anywhere near platting it or anything. As I said, he didn't even get the key to unlock locked chests.

At 10 hours I'm still really digging this. Been switching between Teresa as monk and Desdemona.
It's got me thinking, why don't we have Final Fantasy Musou? Dissidia, but that's really not the same. I think I'd really dig mowing through mooks in a lite action battle system with Edgar's tools or Fang's spear or Cloud's blade.

Wew I'm glad, also you get that from having a level 20 thief and talking to a specific person lol
Yeah someone posted it upthread. My husband had no idea about the bonuses you get from being level 20+ with certain classes and he beat the game. lmao
lolno
I still like it though.
Goodness, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Yeah same, I'm right before the city part you mentioned and I felt strangely close to the end even though
Alena and Kyril just joined

Right? If could be the ultimate FF spinoff (not counting tactics).
Pair it with a XV-like juke box, and boom.

Personally, yes. I have never really liked Persona though, however I have liked 5 a bit more than the past ones, but at dungeon 4, and I am already pretty bored with it.

The preorder DLC? You just register the code and download it then right on the startup menu you can choose to receive it, though you don't actually get it until you reach the hub city.

Its longer but the game design is a fuckton better than the first. If you were able slog through the first, this is magnitudes better in every way
No the stuff they just announced on Twitter. The first of them is supposed to be available today.

Oh, I don't think it's DLC. Just given as an update to the game!

I just hit the mission where the three armies are working together on a map with three branches and I have to defend the king.
Died. Horribly.
Is this the difficulty spike?

Rented this on a whim and I'm surprised to find out it's pretty decent and has coop.
Normally not a fan of Omega force games but this and attack on Titan are alright.

What makes it better than the first game?
No, I didn't have trouble with that one tbh.
A lot of those protection missions are luck-based. Whether or not you succeed is probably 95% based on whether or not you get good sentry monster minion drops and whether or not the AI decides to try to kill itself. One of the other missions, can't remember if it's before or after this one, you gotta protect some general. First time I played it, he was constantly going up into monsters' faces and I was getting shitty sentry drops. Failed that pretty badly. Second time I played it, he stayed back the whole time and didn't engage the enemy, and I got some nice drops, and the mission was a joke.
Just hope you get some good sentry drops and place them next to the king, and hope that the AI doesn't try to kill itself. Also, the sabrecat coins are fantastic for getting across the map quickly. Make sure that if you leave the king to assist the others/fight mawkeepers that he has some good sentries for protection. Then when you're done with that, go back to him to check on him and cleanup. Then repeat.
The difficulty spike for me was them throwing many high-level enemies at you constantly while exploring a couple of the field maps.

Ah, okay. I tried to keep cycling and sabercatting but I'll just have to move faster next time!
The field map right before the mission is challenging. It's just groups of hackasauruses everywhere. One or two is fine, maybe even three, but two the three then another two the three more in a short space while fighting regular mobs is a bit much.

Anyone else up for co-op this weekend? If so, shoot me a message
Yeah, that's the first area that I'd consider part of the spike. There's another area coming up with a bunch of killing machines and marauders doing the same thing. After that though, it calms down.
Yup, no way I'm platting this one.
Last night, I finally found out why my husband considers Torneko a boss-killer. Basically, his dodge move has invincibility frames. If you do it constantly, you're nearly invincible. Plus if you ram at the enemy while doing it, it slightly damages the enemy, filling up your tension meter. Probably the most foolproof way to beat some of the more bullshit boss fights.

You free today? I'd love to give it a go, and I should be getting more maps beyond the intro one shortly.Anyone else up for co-op this weekend? If so, shoot me a message
Beat it. About 38.5 hours on the clock after credits. Some of that was idling, so I'd wager most people will beat it in 35-45. My husband had 48 as I said, but I bet a lot of that was actually idling now that I've beat it myself. Of course, there's plenty of postgame to do after plus New Game+.
