I keep hearing people say it's the most boring game in the series and that the class system is the only good thing about it. Is that really the majority opinion or is that just a vocal minority?

Hi. I'm Jon. Quite a ways back, I used the forum handle "Jaha". Other interests and, eventually, school/career/marriage kept me off many traditional forum boards. I came back for the Dragon Quest, stayed for the validation, and sticking around for the conversation. So, I've been playing since the series came stateside in '89. I was probably the nerdiest 2nd grader playing DW1. Now I'm an aging millennial, reliving late teens/early 20s playing DQ7 on my PC. Physical discs have been shelved after safely making CD images. Those discs survived a 240+hr save file between the PSX and PS2. They're spent. My hopes are to see DQVIII re-released on the PS4. Anything else is gravy. My first daughter was born about 8 weeks ago, hopefully she likes games when she gets older. I'd love for the series to keep getting more accessible and immersive by the time she's old enough to enjoy them. That's about it. See you around here.

So I've been going through DWVII again, though I really don't have as much time to spend these days. Luckily, it's on a PSP so it's both portable and it's got a sleep mode...but even then, it can get rather grindy. The default exp gain is fine with me, but I wanted to earn more money from my battles. I looked online and found some modifier codes that can multiply your gold/exp/job points after battles, and they offered multipliers between 4, 8, 16, etc all the way up to 128. Thing is, I didn't want to break the game, and even a 4X modifier can be pretty huge. So I decided to test some codes, and discovered you can actually even switch the modifier even lower to 2X setting, so what you earned in battle is two times as much. Significantly less than the previous lowest setting, which was times four. It should be useful to those who want to speed things up, but don't want to break the difficulty of the game. Anyways, except for the '2 times' modifier, this code is pretty much copypasted from here: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/197152-dragon-warrior-vii/66309516 Exp multiplier 8004B618 XXXX 8004B61A 0010 Gold multiplier 8004C634 XXXX 8004C636 0004 Work/Job Exp multiplier 8004B800 XXXX 8004B802 0010 XXXX= 2840 2 times 2880 4 times 28C0 8 times 2900 16 times 2940 32 times 2980 64 times 29C0 128 times Yeah, almost 16 years late, but here's a 2X modifier!

Please excuse me if this has been posted somewhere before, but I'm trying to pinpoint, early, what likely names would be for every weapon and armour. So far I've done all weapons. Any more specific info like where found info would be greatly appreciated. I do not speak or read Japanese, so this is a guess and check between the various DQ translations since VIII, including my FAQ on gamefaqs, and so far FFsky's DQ73DS page. Any other good wiki's for Dragon Quest 7 3DS would be greatly appreciated. This is all for a planned FAQ down the road. I'm not sure how far I'll take it. Might just go for a game mechanics FAQ and leave it there. Weapons for now, Armour I'll do later: & = Unknown English name ^ = Likely English name ? = Unsure Copper Sword 11 Atk 9 Style 220B 110S H K G Me A ^Falcon Blade^ 22 Atk 15 Style MDropped *cannot be sold* H K M A 2 Hits (maybe 75% per?)
