I have updated the forums to the latest version and had to purchase a new theme to go with it. If you have any suggestions for the "background" images for the forums let me know (I just left the ones that came with the theme for now).

In my quest to import Japanese DQ games and scan their manuals, I discovered that there are two different versions of the original DQ Monsters in Japan! One is for the original Game Boy, and the other is for the Game Boy Color. Apparently, the game had released before the GBC system was actually available for purchase, and there was a second printing to emphasize GBC compatibility. I recently got both versions together to compare (each cost me $1 before shipping, lol), and here's a breakdown of my findings: Fronts of the boxes: Backs of the boxes: The other four faces of the

I have two more tournaments coming up. Definitely expanding and making a name for myself

I wrote a HUGE something for RPGamer. Had a lot of help with the formatting, but did 90% of the copy. I feel like every day for a month I kept adding another game and another game and another game... https://rpgamer.com/2020/10/the-dragon-quest-series-where-to-start/

Hey, just a quick update, since it's been a hot minute. Progress has been slow, but steady. A number of basic mechanics have been implemented so far, including: - The basic JRPG setup (such as movement and saving to multiple files) - Monster Recruiting, and the ability to have more than 1 copy of a monster - Difficulty of recruiting a monster goes up corresponding to how many of that monster you currently own - A main team, sub team, and a "Ranch" for storing extra monsters - Small, Medium, and Large monster sizes (although I'm not entirely sure if I'm going to use sizes) -

Thanks to @YangustheLegendaryBandit & @eal for talking with me forever about the PS Vita last night!

What do people take Metamucil for? To make us [emoji90]. Final Fantasy 16 confirmed!

Hold that thought. I've gotta head to a Final Fantasy fan forum, to crap on Final Fantasy.

Good news, guys. Dragon Quest Tact is officially coming to the west! https://mobile.twitter.com/SquareEnix/status/1310753921820844032

Just make sure you don't use 'em when you're farming Monster Medals. The item drops actually override the Medal drops!

Yep! Basically, when you reclass, your stats are all halved*, and you keep any spells you learned. You then start gaining stats and spells as the new class. *I think this is the right number, I could be wrong though

I should add that I don't think I got very far before getting sidetracked by DQXI-S.... but I'll see if I can't put in some time later this week to close that gap a little bit. I've been looking for an excuse to pick it up again!

Hello, I'm new to the Dragon Quest community and figured it wouldn't hurt to make a post. What are some of your favorite games and did it take anyone some time to get hooked? My first game was swords that I bought for the Wii and honestly I didn't like it and I thought all dragon quest games were like that because I had never played one before. When 11 came out I was very excited by what I saw and I got 11s for my switch and beat it, I then ordered the 1,2,3 switch release from play asia and as of now I've beaten 11, 1 and 2 , I'm currently playing 3 . I have already bought a copy of 4 fo

I’ll tell you this: when I got into the main series back in 2010 (after having only played the Monsters spinoffs on Gameboy Color as a kid years before) I just went with the first ones that interested me most. Those ended up being Dragon Quest III for the Gameboy Color and Dragon Quest IV for the DS. From my experiences with games of all kinds, go with entries in a series that interest you the most. Don’t worry about whatever the most popular ones are, or the fan favorites: you go with your gut and get the game(s) that interest you. Those are the ones you’ll enjoy the most and remembe

Depends on what you're looking for... https://rpgamer.com/2020/10/the-dragon-quest-series-where-to-start/

All the main games are great in their own way. My favourites are DQ4 because of the cast of characters. DQ7 for the exploration and slow burn, hangout good times. DQ10 because it's like DQ x Infinity.

Thanks everyone for welcoming me and I look forward to more discussions!

Welcome to the Dragon's Den, our own little slice of the Internet! It's the happiest place on Earth, for those that love DQ. Enjoyed reading your stuff! Gotten back into Pokémon myself with little ones now. Hope you stick around and share in all our adventures!

I'm so much of a sucker that I've actually managed to beat the Champion's Time for the Dark Cup on Easy today! I know I've only beat the Champion's Time by 1 second, but I don't care. F**k horse race accolades and horse races.

I got into DQ when DWM came out for the GBC. We were all playing Pokemon Red, and Blue at that time (middle school), and one of my friends got a copy of DWM. Two of us played it like crazy. I still remember being at the park, having a 2v2 battle, GoldGolem+Zoma vs GoldGolem+Baramos. He beat me because of EvilSlash. I also have a vague memory from when I was around 8. I rented some NES game, and I remember the Traveler's Gate. Pretty sure I was playing the NES version of DW2, but I didn't give it much thought at the time. Anyway, DW/DQ is probably my second favorite RPG series of all

Yeah, me too

Fair enough. Maybe you need to pull a Schwarzenegger and go Kindergarten Cop on the kids.

The cast of RPGamer's weekly news podcast spent some time talking about the article today: https://rpgamer.com/2020/10/rpg-cast-episode-560-kmart-breath-of-the-wild/ Skip ahead to 56:20 to hear about the article. They called me the Dragon Quest Master. HAHA, far from it. I've just used all the information that @Woodus has had y'alls help in compiling for decades! Thanks a bunch to all Denizens past and present for helping get information together & talking DQ with me for the past 16+ years!

https://anchor.fm/dqslimetime/episodes/Sidequest-006---A-Gaggle-of-Ghostly--Gruesome-Games-el5sr5 Thanks to@YangustheLegendaryBandit for reminding me I actually played a couple! "Thanks" to@eal for mentioning a YouTube video I should not have watched. [emoji1785] Thanks to@Pendy for reaching way back to the early 80s. Another fun podcast!

Thank you! I'm currently building the project in RPG Maker MV, with quite a bit of external plugin magic at play to recreate mechanics not natively possible in the engine. EDIT: I just saw that you too are working on a DQM project, in the same engine even! Best of luck on your project, I look forward to seeing how we each end up building on the DQM formula.

As Dai is broadcast I expect there will be a number of interviews and articles. I will attempt to translate them for the English speaking community. Generally I will aim to keep character and place names as shown in the official translation (I might have to go back an fix some of them after the show airs to know these though). Spells and monster names I am not bothering to look up the English equivalent at this time. Newtype November 2020

So I took the non pro version translation & inject it to the pro version because I wanted to play it. The result is partial translation of dqmj3pro. Still need testing, I couldnt modify the font, so it's taken directly from the non pro patch which has less glyph than the pro version. So I dont know if it'll break somewhere. dqmj3p patch: https://mega.nz/folder/8tkG1Tgb#WzEFO-JmytVXPkPGW0dnOA It would be great if anyone who knew japanese can help translating the rest of new monsters/skills.

Finally, finally, finally completed Stick of Truth. Every quest and collectible. I feel like I played 40 hours of content but my playtime says just 12. Combined with my other two attempts it’s closer to 20.

Funny, I found that article just before clicking on this page.

I used to be all about those marathon sessions, and I still absolutely am when I can be. However, it created a bit of an issue when I only wanted to play marathon sessions since I usually get my free time in smaller chunks (30 to 90 minutes). I found that when I allowed myself to play in smaller chunks, instead of limiting myself to long sessions, I actually got a LOT more gaming in and was able to finish games quicker. This also affects the type of games I play. Usually I look for games with a save anywhere feature, and if that isn't present then I try to at least fi

These are props, no actual usable weapons, though. For now... :V

Thank you, DQM was my childhood game and one of my favs in the dragonquest series. Update: Trying to get a tech demo out there. I'm currently experiementing with the art style(chosing between retro gameboy color style or more defined 2D art). There will be an update soon.

Hello everybody, as a fan of RPG games, especially the series "Dragonquest", I would like to introduce my ideas of "Monster Builders". The basic idea is a game in which you can create monster and experience various adventures with them. With equipment in the form of wings, body shape, skin texture, you can assemble and individualize your monsters similar to the game "Spore". The focus should be on inventing your own monsters and collecting them. Monster catching games are very difficult and tedious to develop, but I believe it is possible with a good plan behind. RPG Maker MV will be the

Yes. It’s definitely old school, but if you like the NES versions of the early DQ games you’ll like Mother 1.

You’re kids taught him too well apparently! Now they need to level grind in order to beat him.

That sounds complicated, pricey, and illegal. Also, I'm not 100% how paying for someone else to have sex is revenge. You don't pay for a hooker in advance like that. So it works out because then you are potentially publicly embarrassing someone by having an irate hooker at their door pissed off their time is wasted and that they aren't getting paid. Don't ask me how I know.

FYI my vote is for Dragon Quest IV mobile, since that was the actual topic lol.

Everyone deals with Trolls in different ways. Mine is over-the-top rediculousness with maybe a splash of truth.

Welcome to the Dragon's Den, a site for Dragon Quest fans. May I ask what brought you here today? Maybe you should introduce yourself in the Introductions area. I’ve been gone for a few weeks and a little stressed with work. This Platty rant brought a huge smile to face!! Thank you! And further, I enjoy playing most of the remakes these days. Especially due to the portability. DS, 3DS, and Switch

Too bad he's gone, but I hope he sticks around to see how I fixed his quotes:

Nah, you sound like an old pro. You should talk about things more. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

I'm going to [emoji2772] raise my hand and comment on this. First, Final Fantasy is basically the [emoji83]. It's ushered in everything that's wrong with the gaming world and world in general. Let's take a look, shall we? Final Fantasy 1-6 were fine to good to OK. Final Fantasy 7 is where things went really wrong. The world had to see polygons. Bad polygons. Horrible polygons. Think of all the peoples in there late 30s and 40s right now that wear glasses. A lot of them played FF7 when they were younger. That direct correlation is enough to condem the series as demon spawn. Glasses and contac

Ah, I remember when I used to use purple font and Comic Sans all the time until enough people complained. Good times.

It's in the mobile remakes.

Is it against forum rules if I post the translated rom? No other place on the internet seems to have it so I had to go through the dumb process of patching the game on my own.

Found his official art. How much do you want to bet his official dub name, if he gets one, will be something really goofy like "Nokturnus Maximus?"
