To quote Quina from the wedding scene in FFIX... "I... I so happy..." I wonder which SCC I'll do for old time's sake. In other news, I've been playing the Etrian Odyssey V demo as a snack between games. My daughter's birthday is this weekend (1!) so I don't have time to dig into anything big. If the demo is any indication, they've cranked up the difficulty a bit; my party was nearly wiped after two battles, and two of them - physical classes, mind.- keep getting OHKOd. Maybe it'll get easier when I hit level 2 and can pick up another skill. I have also learned that Etrian Odyssey games do not need voice acting. Sorry, VA folks, I'm glad you have work and it's nothing against you, but I really don't mind reading. Plus, we're talking dungeon crawling here; this isn't a story heavy game like a Zero Escape title where greater nuance and emotion in dialogue can enhance the experience.
Started Dragon Quest. I’m actually excited to play it as I’ve heard nice things about the remakes. I’m not looking forward to DQII, but Shaun’s excellent RPG reload on it has settled some of my nerves. I recall battling through it during its NES release, but finding it very very frustrating at parts. My goal is DQ I and II by the end of the month. May not be realistic.
Level 7! The exp and gold gains in the remake are really helping. Ive got an iron axe and some leather armor. Grinding grinding grinding.
Terra Battle II is out now Says thanks for downloading and you cant play it until September 20 11 PM PST Basically its not playable until tomorrow night when the games hit the store which is 9 PM my time so that makes sense to that time
I really want to pick up FFIX on PS4 today in celebration of its release! I mean I've got the crystal tattooed on my arm. But when buying/selling houses and working on pregnancy, even $17 looks like a lot! Hahaha. But man, it's really a great price. I'll fire up the iOS version tonight, though! I'd rather pay full price in a few weeks instead I think. I just hope that theme is a permanent bonus with the game. And since it's the digital version, I wonder if there will be a physical release as well.
Another reason I want a PS4 that and DQ games I need to get one I so regret getting Xbox instead a few years ago
I've been wondering about that too. I'm jealous others have had so many more FF games than the West. I would have enjoyed streaming the FFXIII like others have, playing the Type-0 like game, and would definitely give XI a try.
Pretty much done with the Etrian Odyssey V demo. There's one quest item that I just couldn't track down - I wonder if it was hidden behind the locked door I ran across. Regardless, my characters were solidly between levels 9 and 10 and the max level in the demo is 10 anyway, so it's not like completing the quest would have made much difference. TL;DR it's Etrian Odyssey and it seems good. I will definitely pick it up when it releases in the US, as I did the previous four. Haven't touched the remakes; while I appreciate the quality of life improvements that I heard about in the transition from EO1 -> Untold 1, I didn't feel like it was worth rebuying the game when I liked it just fine the way it was. Similarly, I don't plan to pick up Radiant Historia's remake either. Not sure what I'll play next. The list of games above still applies, and I think I'm going to go ahead and pick up Dragon Quest VII on 3DS because there still hasn't been word 1 about it leaving Japan on iOS. At this point, I'm guessing that even if they did localize the 3DS version, it would have an iOS requirement over and above what my iPod would be able to run anyway, which kind of defeats my purpose of "DQ 1 - 8 all on one system". Oh well.
I gave up on DQVII coming west around a year ago and just bought the Japan ios version and it's such a great game! Took me a minute to adjust to the language barrier but it was also a catalyst for helping me learn the language better if you haven't played VII yet get it any way you can! To me it's the best DQ game on ios... of course some like V and VIII best and i get that too but in my opinion it's VII FFXI and Type O Online still slated for this year but i agree I don't see it and if something has changed they haven't announced it... I am just so happy about XV Pocket I will be fine either way if we get XI, Xv Pocket and Type O then I will be worthless hahaha
Followup on DQ7 - Shaun's main page article about the iOS version in Japan is two years old almost to the day. (I promise I'm done talking about that for now.)
Its ok. Ive never played it but I find myself checking on an iOS FFVIII simply because it drives me nuts you can get 1-7 and 9. Im working through the DQ games and I guarantee VII not being available will drive me nuts too.
Same here! I've got the original version of FFVIII on my Vita because of it lacking an iOS port. And I'm waiting for DQVII since I don't have a DS. But since it's got a Japanese iOS app, I'm sure we'll see it eventually. I was hoping we'd get a 512GB iPhone first though.
256 will be quite enough for me. I currently have a 64g phone and its getting tight but manageable. I was gaming out 256 gigabytes as I may get an eight at some point and realized all of my wish list would more than fit at that size for a while to come
Still working on Dragon Quest. It's taking time only because I'm not giving it time. But a question for the group: I've been thinking of trying to find a social rpg to waste time with, but I don't' know what's a good one available in the US App store. Looking for an action RPG or something with straightforward mechanics. I was thinking the Kingdom Hearts game, but wasn't sure. Thoughts?
I still play that omce i a while. It's the only one I play. I find it enjoyable! It's easy to pick up, play through a couple of quests and put down
