Topic: Dragon Quest XI + I, II, III & Beyond

Just played through the bit with the mermaid.

Oh gosh more feels, it reminded me of some of the better parts of DQ9, the ones that made that game memorable.

I do love my underwater sections though.

@King-X adding dirge of dundrasil is a great idea to that combo! That would stop them from running!

@King-X My guys are already level 99, so doesn't matter now, but if I replay it would be good.
Working on equipment now and then I have to finish the wheel. Then sometime you know, finish the game.

Got to the mural town.... How am I doing?

I might be alone on this, but Sylvando is my favorite character so far. 😅

He’s pretty entertaining.

He's my least favourite.... Defeated the boss!

@BruceCM which one haha

I don't want to spoil anything for those who haven't got that far, @komodo182 .... D-in-G?

@BruceCM The endgame boss?

The one after going to the mural, @komodo182 .... Still got at least 1 orb left! Will go after that tomorrow & report progress

@BruceCM you got a ways to go, don't worry

Bug problem?

I just bought Dragon Quest 11 after playing the demo. When I began playing the full game and installed an update, the hero’s sword disappears after battle and doesn’t show at all on his back. It did show during the demo version.

Is anybody else experiencing this, or is there a toggle to show/hide the weapon?

Just out of curiosity, now that the full game is out can anyone confirm if the target shooting sidequest is still in?

You should be able to get a crossbow in Gallopolis that can be used to get the attention of far away enemies & shoot targets littered throughout the overworld environments (at this point there should be a Bodkin Archer at every camp that'll update your progress with that area's targets).

It's a small thing in the grand scheme of things, but I noticed that there weren't any targets in the demo (I only got to Hotto in the demo, but I believe the targets should still be visible even before you get the crossbow) and was wondering if they removed them for some reason.

Just finished the part of the game with the mermaid... even knowing where it was probably going, it was still a little too depressing for my liking.

Maybe I should have lied to her.

Beautiful, beautiful game. I love everything about it. If it stays this good, it'll easily be one of my favorite games this gen.

@RR529 I haven't seen any targets in this game. There IS a crossbow that you can use to get the attention of distant enemies, though. And there's no aiming.

Apparently the first-person view mode that was in the PS4 version was also removed.

Defeated Krystalindra .... Not too difficult

@Ralizah, I guess maybe the target thing may have been too difficult to implement in the 2D mode so maybe they axed it altogether (for example, there's supposed to be one hanging off the corner of the roof of that little seaside shack near the Kingsburrow). FYI, there was no aiming in the PS4 version either (if you were close enough to a target, you would just get a prompt to use the crossbow).

Never bothered with it much in the PS4 version anyway, so it's not a big loss (especially compared to all the gains), just curious.

I knew about them removing the first person view, but I think the added photo mode more than makes up for it (taking screenshots of something is really the only time I used the first person view).

Well I finally finished the game last night.
May pick up dragon quest 1 on switch soon to give it a go.

@BruceCM Sign note, how do I make spoiler tags?
