I was never good at the casino in DQ and I honestly never, ever got the appeal of gambling in general. But I'll try it here since I want to survive the full Ambrosia run. I heard Code Breaker is good for money?
Poker is your friend. Gambling is easier in P1 than in P2. Course gambling minigames are only super rough in games like Lufia 2 and DQ franchise. I feel Xenosaga 1's casino was rigged in your favor.
So I beat the SEBEC path. Sadly, my hopes regarding the Alaya shrine were dashed and it turned out Nanjo, Mark and Reiji had some significant catching up to do. The entire endgame was a slog. The final dungeon was super long and it took forever to max the ultimate personas. At least it turned out that maxing them was pretty much all you needed to make the final battle cakewalk. This is pretty much the main deal with this game - the boss battles (or any battles with one enemy on the field) aren't hard at all, but the massive numbers of demons in random battles combined with the infuriating dungeon design and random encounter rate, all make for a game that isn't really challenging as much as it is frustrating. A test of endurance, pretty much. But I liked it, overall, and feel much better about it than before, happy that I can finally say that I've beaten it. Don't think I'll be coming back to it, though. So I've started preparations for the Snow Queen Quest. Grinding in Mikage Castle for now and I'll be heading for the Casino soon. I'm a bit worried because I've always sucked in video game gambling (aside from Pokemon Heart Gold's Voltorb Flip, which was awesome) so I need to git gud quick. I just hope I have the patience.
Just saying that it's an option, you could probably even find the PSP version that way.
shhhhhh
I'm sure you could always emulate if you looked around.
I do have a US account so I'll probably do that. But there's two problems. 1) The US PSN account won't accept EU credit cards, so I need to buy an Amazon gift card to an American friend (last time it was Pumpkin) can buy me a PSN card code that I can then enter into my US PSN account. They've made it as cumbersome as possible. Thank God at least changing accounts on the PSP isn't as hard as on the Vita. 2) No hay dinero The move and home furnishing is eating up all my cash. So this'll take a while.
Make a U.S. account and try to get it from there?
Yeah, that's what I'll probably do. Hope I can get my Internet installed at home soon so I can download Innocent Sin to play after SQQ. Then maybe I can figure out a way to finally play EP
Do what you need to do, if worse comes to worse, just save the game and do it later when you beat it.
