The events at Dundrasil and leading up to obtaining the Green Orb.

ba dum bah bah bah, I'm lovin' DQXI~ ..That was supposed to be to the tune of the McDonalds tune but eh

Hope you're enjoying it as much as I am!

Hey! How's Dragon Quest XI?

I've played IX and VII on DS and 3DS. I absolutely loved IX back then, playing it for almost 300 hours total. Those random dungeons were so awesome! Unlocking jobs was fun too, as was leveling them up, learning skills and doing awesome coup-de-graces. I enjoyed VII a lot too but found it to be dragging on for too long. The whole past and present things got quite old for me quickly.

To be honest I'm sure I'll like XI a lot too. It sure looks astounding!

Yeah I'm thinking right before the end of this current generation. Wouldn't be surprised about next year honestly.

Yeah it's a shame because the battle system was pretty fun.

To be honest with you, I'm really surprised Square never gave the XIII trilogy the remastered treatment for PS4/PC. I remember there were rumors a couple of years ago, but clearly none of that panned out lol

Yes DQ11 can't wait.

My pleasure. :3

I recently saw some kind of documentary video on the Mole Playing Rough in EarthBound. You should check it if you're interested in hidden mechanics in this game. [Link]

Honestly I would have liked FF13 more if it didn't purposely cap you so you couldn't go over a certain level with your characters until after certain parts of the story. I like to grind and I'm usually well-overleveled when playing most JRPGs so having the game prevent me from fully enjoying it that way pretty much turned me off of it, especially since the story was very confusing and I didn't really care for most of the characters.

You and your .gif avatars on here

Loving the theme

Hyped for DQ XI? I can't say I'm surprised! I have it pre ordered as well!

Well... I hate to tell you but your presumption about the continued plot of XIII is quite accurate. In my opinion, it gets pretty damn strange and confusing and if you play XIII-2 you kinda need the rest from Lightning Returns as well for anything to make any real sense. With concerns like yours, I'd say you may be better off leaving them and just sticking with how the original ended.

I'm curious to hear what you think about XV, as I haven't felt the need to get to it myself. The Xenoblade games fill the niche of open world exploration JRPGs just fine for me.

Are you planning on playing XIII-2 at some point? If you liked the gameplay of XIII it's a lot of fun! Best one of the trilogy, I'd say.

I see the FF12 fatigue set in already?

I don't think I ever cared less after beating a game in the Final Fantasy franchise besides XIII and II.

Given that you like the rest of the franchise enough to do a marathon of this magnitude for it, not actively disliking XII still puts it in a pretty bad spot relative to the other titles. Even the speed multipliers don't tempt me to play it again myself. Then again, there aren't many FF titles I liked enough to replay to begin with. IX for sure, III DS, the XIII trilogy and maybe VI. That's about it, really.

''Earthbound 14 times'' marathon ­­> FF series marathon

Phew, you had me worried there. For a while I actually thought you legitimately started to like XII!

I finally beat Ophilia's chapter 3 with your advice! Thanks again!

Agreed! It's especially bad for picking up chests during battle. But it was a god sent for the Nelgamur trick!
