Now I'm really sad Kiefer's gone for good

Holy crap that's a lot!

daww so sweet of you

Yeah, good luck with that. I never even knew there were optional bosses when I played the game

Oh, it does work. I didn't mean that as a criticism In a simple game like DQ it really isn't glaring.

It's like, the fastest and easiest way to write a disposable love interest. Want the player to not feel guilty about breaking up a girl's relationship? Have the guy be a total jerk!

It had some clever foreshadowing with the "two people who have been marked can't be married!" Now I only heard from the kid that the guy is actually also marked, but I still wonder what will happen with that!

Also, this is the second quest in a row with a crazy possessive jealous guy. Girls, if he does that, RUN THE FRICK AWAY! That's never a good sign!

Yeah, that was that. I loved how in the present the Greenthumb Gardens are gone but instead you have this other village with the convent (they're called the sisters of Regrette-Rien, which made me chuckle). Again, nice and bittersweet but with a more hopeful note since it's heavily implied they got together by the end.

Anyway, got to the bit with the Roamers and their quest to wane the Almighty at the altar with their dancing stuff. And I'm guessing this is where I lose Kiefer. Should have figured it'd happen over a girl... but the chapter itself is really intriguing so far and I can't wait to see where it goes!

Btw, the people of Greenthumb appear to have Texan accents! "I do declare," "fixin' to," etc. I think it's the first explicitly American accent in a DQ game so far (I know DQVIII has Argonia, but this is still not VIII )

Yeah, and I do appreciate it for its idealism, really, since so few games do that, really. I was simply expecting a twist because people seemed to be really affected by this chapter.

The most bittersweet so far was the Regenstein chapter where there was this town of people turned to stone but way too much time has passed for them so they were all weathered and crumbling, so you could not turn them back at all. The only two survivors were a kid and an old man, and the town itself is gone in the present.
