I've FINALLY given feedback to all the stuff in writing prompts and will soon be posting a new story, so I hope we can get this thing going again!

Oh yeah, also, depending on how I feel after VI, I think I'll jump into IX straight after it and leave VII and VIII for later when they actually come out on the 3DS. I'm gonna need your guidance there too, as I remember royally screwing my characters up in VIII with the weapon proficiency system Yeah. Ever since Diablo II I kind of hate point-based systems.

I really don't mind that, honestly. This is kind of the benefit of playing them in succession - I don't have the heightened expectations from later titles (except having played VIII, but that's kind of a different story). There was practically NO characterization in DQ I-III, so I'm not too bothered by them being quiet. The game's still really charming and I am really enjoying myself and can't wait to take control of my hero because I think he might be the only DQ protagonist so far that doesn't look like Son Gokuu XD

I've checked on the Internet - the English version of DQ IV DS does not have party chat.

Meena and Maya seem quite interesting as well, though. And they actually speak! All the protagonists so far have been silent, so that's a plus!

Will Ragnar, Alena, and Torneko speak when they join my Hero? (I named him Solo, by the way, as I heard that's the name used for the male protagonist in the code)

I started Meena and Maya's chapter today. Torneko's was really cool, though I did have to walk around aimlessly a bit later on to get all those iron armours.

Better or worse, though?

It's kinda funny when you think about it XD One day, after work, he just decides "You know, I'mma grab that safe those people were talking about" so he goes, escapes the boulder and puts a rock in place of the treasure like he's staring in Raiders of the Smurfing Ark, and when he's out of there, he's like "Okay, let's see what else there is" and stumbles upon a freaking mirage village and decides to sleep there. Then he frees a convict from a nearby kingdom, all the while his wife probably thinks he's dead or something XD

I actually did go out though and got that safe thing. And there was a fox village. And I freed that Old Man Finn's (why is everyone a Finn nowadays? I swear to God) son from the jail cell. So that was quite the adventure! I wonder how people will react once I come back XD

Started Torneko's chapter. So... Do I just keep going to work everyday and wait for something to happen, or go out?
