Agreed. I love how towns aren't just passage ways to your goal. It makes visiting one so exciting because you're likely to find very captivating scenarios. It's just a treatKishgal said:

Well, my Saturn battery died, so I had someone call out between two games on a coin, so I'm gonna play the SFC one again, hopefully the battery won't crap out again at the end of the game like during my marathon.

Sweet. I've been friends with one of the guys who used to work at Atlus and now works at Konami. Glad to see you've gotten into this side of the biz. Have you worked on any of the voiceover recordings? I will say that that's been one of my big interests.
Back on the main topic here, I just read that DQ6 is just 1 Gb, which isn't as much as they could have used. But then I guess they weren't interested in significantly upping the cart size from the 4 and 5 remakes.
Thanks, Kish!
cart -- yeah, we do voices on occasion. The last one we did was Nier (very NSFW sample: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/60143.html). We did BKO, too!
Getting back on topic, I had my first three surechigai exchanges tonight! Seven more and I can unlock the basement! The dreams were as follows:
- One person wants to open their own shop to sell their treasured shochu
- One person wants to "get rich quick" (lol)
- One person wants to go to the premier tour, whatever that means (he loves soccer, so maybe it's soccer-related)
So silly but so addictive. Haha.

Hmm, well, I'm
As a first time player, I'm not exactly sure how I would rank this so far. Let you guys know when I finish in the next week or so.
I got my first Surechigai as well. Someone who wanted to be a dancer I guess? I think I'll go to Akiba this weekend and wrap this whole surechigai business up.
gathering up legendary equipment, so I must be in the back end of the game.

I can get jobs now, so I figured I'd bump with a question about something someone mentioned earlier, some critical hit trick? How's that done?
And on the DS version did they fix the 'equip defense' trick/bug from DQ6/3 on SFC? I discovered it on 3 (I doubt I was the first) and it looks like it works on 6, but I imagine they fixed that on the DS one. What that trick/bug is, whenever you equip something in a battle, your defense stat gets defaulted, so it can be handy on badguys that reduce your defense if you never upped yours, but annoying if you buffed someone up then change what they are attacking with in a battle.

In reference to the thread title what ever happened with Wada and his "simultaneous releases"? Does he just love to talk but has nothing to say?

They need to hurry up with an English version of DQ6 and DQ9.
john tv said:Yah I've heard of the Premier League, but is Premier Tour related? Sounds like golf to me. Or a honeymoon package plan or something.
I just assumed he actually meant Premier League, since I'm actually not that into sports and don't know anything else called "Premier" something :lol

The level 2 soldier abil?
Climbing that mountain outside Clairbell was EPIC. Was tough! I actually had to spend all that money I'd been banking the whole game and get my team up to snuff with equipment. Really felt like climbing a mountain. So long and tough and fights every 3 seconds, but when you get to the top it's a great feeling.
beeddddddddddddd
I explored the whole dream world as much as I could. Seems like there was only 1 optional thing to do (well cave on the east side; enemies seemed a bit tough for my level so left to do it later in the game). If I go down the stairs on the east side of the world the town (gedeon or something?) doesn't let me in. Is this the part that depends on your kakkoyosa factor?
Ended up just going to Fon castle and gonna try the tower later tonight. Everyone is about halfway through their 2nd job except for the main who is getting close to finishing his 2nd job. I've been using Lead (almost up to Magic Warrior), Hassan (still a wayss to go for Battlemaster), Asmos (still a waays to go for Paladin), Chamoro (getting close to Kenja) exclusively since about when the game opened up and I got Asmos. Kind of a sexist party, but I'm having Mirelu learn superstar and she's kinda useless until then and barbara learn kenja and she's good but Chamoro has more HP and is better. Looking forward to getting mahou senshi soon for my lead because as a mahou tsukai right now his HP sucks and he can die real easy.
Why is the medal king still unknown to meeeeeee I have like 30 medals already wtf! I
but I haven't found him in the real world
I'm kind of hesitant to play this game quickly because I don't want it to end since it feels like it's the last time I will ever play a great DQ like this (IV/V/VI) again. Maybe VII is like those too? I'm thinking of playing it next on psp since I like playing DQ while relaxing on my bed and losing myself in exploring cool worlds. I don't really like Level 5 DQ, so I'm figuring after I play DQVII and maybe the classics I-III, I'll be all out of the DQ I like. Kinda sad ;_; Wish Level 5 DQs were more like DQIV-VI.

DQVII is very much the evolution of DQVI, so if you're having a good time here, you should definitely dive into DQVII next.Bebpo said:Climbing that mountain outside Clairbell was EPIC. Was tough!

Any tips for this magic guy on top of the tower? I'm fine until he starts spamming Begiragon every turn midway through the fight. I can't heal fast enough and after a few rounds people are dead. I even tried turning all 4 chars into senshi so they'd have higher HP & higher DEF but begiragon still did 60-70 damage to all 4 characters every turn and I just can't heal that. I'm around lvl.24-28 party.

Well there's different armor that may help, like Magic Shields and stuff, maybe some armor. How far along is your Sage? They learn a "magic barrier" spell. Superstars get a similar ability too.
Red Scarlet said:
I don't have a sage yet.
I don't have ANY of the 2nd rank jobs yet
Will be another 2-3 hours before I do probably. Kishgal said:You can confuse his minions (メダパニ
Thanks. That should help since I spend most of my turns healing and not attacking. Now they can attack for me!
confuse worked really well, thanks again. It seems like he wouldn't do begiragon unless there were two genies out and with the first one confused it kept killing itself before he'd summon another one. At worst he'd summon another one, cast begiragon the next round, but then one of the genies would die and he wouldn't cast it again for a bit.
One thing that's kind of wierd is buffing didn't seem to help against it. I was casting sukurto over and over and the genies were doing like no damage (5-10 damage per hit) but begiragon would still do about 60-70 damage and mirami about 50. Does DEF buffing only work against physical attacks?

sukuruto only helps against physical attacks, yes. You need fubaha/magic barrier to reduce breath/magic attacks or armor that reduces damage from them.

What's the deal with that move? It misses a lot and sometimes does a ton more damage..is it supposed to be used on undead enemies mainly?
It's kind of random who it works on. I guess it's just a really slow move, and only works on slower enemies. When you come across a boss that it works on, it's usually the best strategy (バイキルト＋きあいため＋せいけんづき omg), but there are several it just plain misses 100% of the time on.Red Scarlet said:
john tv said:Is this the first DQ you've played?
Hassan's せいけんづき works well on him too. If you have anyone with バイキルト yet, use that + せいけんづき to whoop his ass.
I play a lot of rpgs! I can't keep track of what each spell does in every game
I'm pretty sure the description for that spell is just "DEF BUFF" or something.Didn't have biokilt yet. Seikentsuki seems to be an awful move like scarlet is saying. It misses or does no damage about 3/4th the time. I basically just use sutemi for my main power attack.

That kind of info (what monsters it works on or what agility stat Hassan needs for it to hit enemy X or Y) should be in a faq, but the guides at gamefaqs are so barebones (at least Ian Kelley's is).

I'd imagine so. Never read his SMT3 one.

Dragon Quest VI superbly concludes the trilogy of remakes on the Nintendo DS, with an episode quite as captivating as the precedents. Built on the same framework as its predecessors, this episode is nevertheless characterized by its evanescent dream-like atmosphere, where illusion and reality merge. It can also count on an old but very polished school game system, the return of classes coming this time to reward the player to fight, more and always. Resolutely austere but always well maded (graphics, musics, balanced game system), Dragon Quest VI will proudly join your game shelf, even if the absence of true innovations and the incoherent rhythm of the story makes it a little less memorable than the Hand of the Heavenly Bride.
+ perfect realization
+ hypnotic combats
+ the class system
+ a good lifespan
+ musics which remain in memory
- austere
- level up or die
- some useless classes
8/10

Anyone know where the medal is on the dumb wall place? I hate dungeons like that. I've already 'beaten' the dungeon but I'm just looking for the medal that's supposed to be there.
This stealth section with rob is terrible. The fact that everytime he sees you, you have to go all the way back and watch him walk incredibly slow all over again is almost game breakingly bad. First time I've ever been annoyed in a DQ game. Usually they only have good game design decisions!
