Disappointed that the Zenithian sword is so weak

So it's kind of like II in that regard.

Still, II is an interesting case as it really is logically bigger and better than I, but is less simple and is pretty much the least revolutionary of the first three.

Hm. Well, that would either mean my Kiryl was somehow behind on stats, or they really changed stuff for the DS remake. And yeah, Borya just learned Oomph, so for a second I considered maining him instead of Maya, but then Maya wrecked Baalzack with Frizzle, so I think I'm going to stick to those offensive spells this time. In III, I mostly relied on my sages to boost my fighters, but it looks like there might be fewer monsters resistant to Frizz this time around.

Although I'm still a bit miffed at how unreliable offensive magic is in this series as opposed to, say, FF, or even SMT. In those two, the only ones that would have a consistent chance of missing were instant-death spells, whereas here it's really common for enemies that I know are affected by Sizzle, to bu unaffected by it, which sucks balls.

So anyway, I think I may be approaching end-game and I may be starting DQ V this week. I got the magma staff so I should be able to obtain the remaining two pieces of the Zenithian Armour either today or tomorrow, and then I still need that sword. How long would you say Chapter 6 is, compared to Chapter 5?

As for my thoughts so far, it does seem a bit weaker than DQ III, but that game was pretty revolutionary, so I can see how that was hard to live up to. While the chapter idea is pretty interesting, I'd rather have been able to explore the whole world map from the beginning, and not half the world uncovered once the journey proper starts.

But yeah, anyway, I got everyone and I now have the Zenithian helm and looking for all the others now. I love exploring the world.

Wasn't it Borya? I kind of noticed the spells my mages learn is not exactly the same as what I found on the Internet. Like, Kiryl learned Midheal on level 17 instead of 16.

Oh, that's cool.

I just had Torneko and Borya join me. While Torneko is still on my main party, Borya's benched for now. So far Maya has AoE spells, which so far are really the only advantage mages have over physical fighters.

I don't believe so but it's been a while since I played so I could be wrong. I think everyone got XP as long as you had the wagon but if you were in a dungeon, only the main party got XP. I do know that if you are killed on the map, your unused characters will take over.

So do the unused characters get any exp?

Started chapter 5 by the way and already got the sisters to join me. They sure make things a whole lot easier

I will get on it soon, I promise you that. I might actually have some time tomorrow, we'll see
