Have we discussed the fact that Hori is obsessed with the star-crossed lovers love child trope? I Mean DQIV, VII, VIII, and I'm sure a bunch of other games all use this story angle for the main characters. I've been playing DQIV on the side for mobile gaming and was just reminded that this was the story angle for the main hero.
Yeah, DQIII is awesome. Great to hear you've been having fun with it.
In DQ news, I've begun collecting the orbs and I've explored most of the world. I'm getting ready to take down Orochi in Zipangu. I actually did beat this boss already but with only one character surviving. This was because I got impatient trying to level my team up to do all my Job Class shenanigans. So shenanigans it now, as I have my whole team up to level 20 now in their new professions. My Warrior turned into a Dealer, and is now a Thief who is way more sturdy and powerful than she has any right to be. My Cleric became a Fighter who has a struggled a little bit due to higher XP needs but I always forget the class is pretty fragile in defense. My Mage turned Warrior on the other hand is doing very well for herself. I'll probably take down Orochi and the Boss Troll with this team before switching classes again. I also have the Punkrock Ring which has given my Hero way better stat growth across the board with the Solitary personality. I always forget that much like FFIII, the stats that are the most important are the ones that affect HP/MP growth. So this new personality is helping to offset my Hero's weak wisdom stat. Overall though, I'm having a blast and really relishing how utterly enjoyable this game is.
I'd probably stick to the original, though I'm sure I'd be using the handheld element more. I just like having the option.
I really want one, though it'll probably be a while before I can, but it definitely looks like a cool little system to have. I'm debating whether I would go for the regular switch or the Lite version, since I'd mostly be getting it for handheld purposes anyway, but then I still think it's better to have the option of docking it, not to mention all those cool Labo things that I think would be great for the kid. Then again, Lite is cheaper.
Yeah, I've been impressed with how much love the Switch gets.
From what I know, message boards and blogs don't really count. It's more of a matter of having them published in a magazine or something. Remember this place or a private blog won't usually get a lot of traffic, so in the end it doesn't make a whole lot of difference. But if you want to be super safe about it and have an alternative, then by all means. Yeah, figured you'd prefer the authentic PC experience, but it's still great to know they did such a good job porting them. Honesly, the Switch person sounds enticing to me, if only because I always prefer it if I can play a game on the go.
Neato, I would probably still pick them up for PC but its nice to know they got ported over. I haven't figured out which story I'm going to do yet. I was going to use the one I was going to submit for publication, but I'm now reconsidering since lots of publishers tend to frown upon using stories that have been seen before.
Oh yeah, by the way, I heard that Baldur's Gate I and II, as well as Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale have released on consoles today and apparently they've done a really good job porting them over. So I thought I'd let you know, in case you'd be more inclined to take a stab at these on PS4 over your PC.
Smaller projects are good. Reminds me I really need to start writing that Halloween story. I'm actually going back and forth between two ideas and really have no idea what I should do. i'll figure something out, though. Also, on that note, NaNoWriMo is coming along, and I was actually thinking of taking this opportunity to take a break from my novel and work on my short story collection. See how that pays off.
