Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies
 
So, what did you think of the game? Think somethings could have been changed? Did you like the storyline, the monsters?

Everything I've seen is pretty awesome.
The nearly endless questing, the endless grottos, and all of the annoying level grinding of a game.

But I have yet to try anything online aside from the online shop thingy in Stornway.

インフェルノの津波 November 25th, 2010 12:59 AM

Yeah, I don't have Nintendo Wi-Fi, so I guess I'm missing out.

SacredMiKeY November 25th, 2010 1:02 AM

I am not even sure what you can do online besides kill stuff with friends.

And the only thing you would be missing out on would be the wifi quests that they put out every so often.

インフェルノの津波 November 25th, 2010 1:02 AM

...That's the problem.

You know that tower near Coffinwell? Well as it turns out-related to Wi-Fi.

And I don't know how to get it.

SacredMiKeY November 25th, 2010 1:08 AM

I have yet to do this quest as idk if it's been released yet.

But you probably need to find a wifi access point of somekind so you can at least get the quest updates.

I'm stuck on the last boss, kinda don't like my team but don't want to spend more time grinding. :/

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 12:29 AM

Maybe I can help! Or direct you to Google.

Depends. So what's your team?

TELL ME EVERYTHING, FROM STATS TO SKILL ALLOCATION.

To be honest, I was excited when I first played it, but I started getting bored with it about halfway through the "main" storyline. And I can tell you that the monsters with insta-kill moves didn't help in that matter.

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 3:21 PM

You mean Wight Priests?

Sorry to hear, but this is kinda difficult after the Fygg stuff.

Like the final boss. Took me three times.

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 3:40 PM

Well...DQIX is the hardest Dragon Quest game to date.

It's not that boring...okay maybe it is unless you're a hardcore RPGer, which this game is.

But hey, this will keep you interesting.

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 4:36 PM

In DQIX it's Thwack.

The final boss in this game is brutal. He uses Magic Burst. All of his MP. And he crits. A LOT.

But thankfully I had a Gladiator.

Also, monsters in this game get to be a pain in the ass. And mini-bosses, AKA Grottoes.

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 5:29 PM

Oh yeah you should know that I think Magic Burst in DQIX doesn't warn you.

Whack = Thwack.

Thwack = Kathwack.

Priest learns these moves.

They have the Uber Falcon Blade in this game with Falcon Slash plus Oomph(Mage exclusive spell), so yeah 4x attack + attack boost = Dead Boss.

Still, you should buy it. The storyline is amazing.

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 5:52 PM

Falcon Blade can be bought after the game and found in the game, quite easily. And it can get upgraded via Alchemy very easily. Only need Falcon Blade and Meteorite Bracer.

Also, you get to create your own characters.

Also, DQVIII sounds complicated :x

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 6:16 PM

Pfft I do manual. I never trust the AI.

Fisticuffs in this game have their own missions, which are kinda pointless. they're the weakest weapon in this game.

Also no primary and secondary weapons. Just one.

This may sound weird, but I saw a trailer for DQVIII and my mouth dropped. I thought it looked amazing, but friends proved otherwise. But I'll try it anyway.

Anyway, if you want to know, the deal in DQIX is to simply have fun. After the Storyline, the world is your oyster. You can complete your wardrobe, become and Alchemy master, or become a Grotto explorer. Grottoes are kind of like mini-dungeons with bosses at the end of them.

You'll probably like it, the storyline...I know I've said that many times, it's tearjerking. I've cried so many times...

インフェルノの津波 November 26th, 2010 6:35 PM

Cool for you!

...This is the kind of game where you feel sorry for the villain, but still consider him a douchebag. Also, they're many villains and kind of not villains. In short, some things are not what they appear to be. Though some storylines could have been improved.

Anyway, I hope you buy and play the game.
