Back in the day i played rocketslime, Can't look at the monsters the same way after that game. I found a copy of V which i plan on playing soon, currently i'm playing IX and it's so fucking good. I personally thought i was blinded by nostalga, the only downsides i can feel are partymembers that you pretty much create with no personality and then some minor grinding but other then that it was smooth sailing to me. The writing still lives up after the 4 boss battles and several major locations i traveled to again, i forgot that the doctors wife in coffingwell died at the end of the boss battle and it felt like a gut punch.
I adapted to the game quite well all of my party members all are made to complement eachother, a priest for healing and recovering teammates from status effects, a warrior for heavy attacks and defence, a mage for all the magical bullshit and stats buffs, and me the all around guy. I plan on becoming a ranger this time around because i was foolish and passed on the oppertunity the last time.
On my last playthrough i wasn't even thinking and got stuck on damn near the last boss battle because i wasn't really playing the game like i was supposed to, i was underleveled, i button mashed and all my armor and weapons was wrong. this time in the four hours i was playing i knocked out several bosses on one try, dont get me wrong though, it took skill on some. (the hexigoon was terrible because it was too easy and it boiled down with a back and fourth of "i hit you and you hit me" four times untill he died)
I like the whole "angels" thing and the mixing of religions for a very dramatic story, and i like how both screens are used for dramatic cutscenes like two dragons fighting.

I am currently in the second act of Dragon Quest 11, and going back and forth throughout the world map to relocate party members has been a pain in the neck. Since the bad guy of the game has shown himself, some areas are blocked off, and I simply have to find ways around these barriers. This seems to be the more difficult part of the game. The game is fun still, but I am in the current part of the game where it is more tedious.

something i don't understand about dragon quest 9 is the price of goods, like holy shit why is everything overpriced? there's no way in hell i can catch up unless i grind for an hour to generate the cash to buy my crew the latest gear.

how is the story of dragon quest 11? 9 so far is actually working out well, all of the little stories pack an emotional punch for me, recently there was one about a living doll amd a giant spider and it was pretty tragic of a story.

I don't understand why i'm so stupid. So there's this place called swinedimples and i got my ass kicked by the boss and i was wondering why the game is so fucking hard, because i thougt it was an easier boss in my memory, so i looked at a guide and he's supposed to be like level 36 meanwhile i'm level 25 and to make matters worse i missed the area i was supposed to find before swinedimples with an easier boss, Batsureg. I don't even know how to reach that place? I feel like zoro from one piece i'm so fucking lost lol.

After going through the proper order the swinedimple boss was actually a cakewalk, even though i didn'g level up too much in the prosess. Batsureg also worked out because the ranger class is a glass cannon so you you are stuck with basic bitch gear till late game, and that place also had real ranger gear. Early on the only place that had gear you can use was at port laffian and by that time your level 10 so basically your stuck with level 10 gear untill you reach level 30. The vanish ability is nice during a boss battle because i basically can snipe, and i have the bonus of all the cool ranger spells and buffs to use in battle, and it made time fly faster then the previous time i played dragon quest as a martial artist.

The cockney slang in dragon quest nine is starting to piss me off. I think it's the localization, but it's just grating to read because sometimes it becomes gibberish like some parts of dark souls, like when you meet the talking cat.
Also it's weird that at first a boss battle is fucking hard but after the second try it ends up being a cakewalk? The hog guy whos name i forgot wiped out my team one by one on the first try and after painfully griding for an hour to reach level 32 i go back and the battle was fine? I think i used the same strategy of vanishing then buffing the shit out of my team mates, so i don't understand what changed at all.
Also i like the fake out where you get power ranger armor and you think your gonna do a cool boss battle and watch a killer animation sequence only to get arrested seconds later.
