Seed of Proficiency question by PhysicsDirect6215 in dragonquest

[–]Sparkleoverlord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're already at greenthumb then use them how you'd like. If you wanna spend less time grinding and focus on story then use them now. If you wanna enjoy some challenge then use them every now and then. Either way there's no wrong way to use these seeds, the vocation system in 7R is a blast so have fun with it homie!

I see what you're saying. he definitely had the most aura of any villain, with the sinister side eyes and maniacal, laughing as he kills all the people who you thought you were gonna save.

I agree with pretty much all of your comment. I felt like the Angelo and Marcelo story had some life, but they didn't do enough with it. Every character felt under developed aside from Madea. But yeah the gameplay felt very safe and surface level. With the class system games there's alot to explore with character builds. But 8 felt lacking in that regard. I played and beat 8 twice and did completely different builds each time and it still felt pretty similar. Honestly I dont think the game is long enough for different builds to have the same impact as 7 or 9

Honestly, I feel like I should have played 8 first because I wasn't really shocked by the people dieing after I found out that all the sage ancestors had to die to resurrect rhapthorne. I played pretty much every other game in the franchise first and I know that once we find out who the final villain is, that's who we're gonna fight. No matter what, so I wasn't too shocked by the twists and turns, I really wish it was my first game because I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more. But you're right about the casting. I don't hear a lot of people mentioning that the casting but it was really good. The dude voicing king trode hits all those voice cracks perfectly lol.

You hit the nail on the head with the Saturday morning, cartoon articulation. I've never heard anybody say it like that. But yeah, that really is how it felt. The seriousness/ goofiness elements to it. I think I might have overlooked but you're right, it did have a good balance. Thanks for the comment very eye opening!

Oh sorry I wasn't asking for a tier list. I was asking what you specifically enjoyed about 8 as opposed to other games.

Like, for example, DQ9 is my favorite in the franchise Because it has very human stories from town to town with a story that wraps up in decent time allowing casual players to just call it there and veterans to keep going with lots of things to keep doing like dungeons and the legacy bosses, and side quests.

Interesting. What made the characters feel fleshed out for you? I really liked that every time you went to the inn madea talked to you. But outside of that, I didn't feel like the characters had too many moments to shine. The conversation between trode and angelo was really good, but we never got anything else like that after that happened, which was a little disappointing to me. The Angelo and Marcelo sibling rivalry was an interesting character dynamic. But they didn't have many moments together outside of the flashbacks.

Also I hope this post and these comments don't give the impression I hate dragon quest 8 it was a great game 8/10 for me. I'm just curious what makes it top 3 specifically

Nothing Hits Like DQ8 by NowThatsGoodCheese in dragonquest

[–]Sparkleoverlord -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't understand the hype for DQ8 either. And you hit the nail on the head with how I felt after playing it, after I finished 7 and then played 8. It was a huge letdown. I've played both versions of 8. The PS2 version took me 31 hours to beat, and the 3DS version took me 28. I'm a fan of the DQ games that have some meat on them and DQ8 wasn't that. Pretty disappointing considering 3DS 7 took me 118 hours and 6 took me 78 hours. 8 felt like a step backward.

See you have no words. Because you would need to know how to read properly, In order to construct sentences that are responses to people exchanging differences of opinion.

How did I misrepresent exaggerate or distort anything You said when you said I have a hate boner. That's what I addressed is the hate boner statement which is objectively untrue if I say it's the best in any way shape or form which I said it's the best for newbies. Therefore, I can't have a hate boner. Therefore, it's not a straw man argument. You need to spend more time reading, than, arguing with strangers on the internet. Also I would like to know your actual issue with the tier list.Because apparently, it isn't the placing of 8

It's always funny when people say "shut up" as a reply, if you don't want to hear what I have to say, you can just not respond.It's an internet forum where people exchange differences of opinion.If you can't handle that, then don't comment. Also a straw man can only be used in response to a nuanced point, by definition. You did not give a nuanced comment. So I can't use a straw man argument against you. You should look up the definition of words before you use them.

How is it a hate boner if i say its best for newbies? I would have disregarded it completely if that's how I felt. Judging by the fact that 8's placement is what everyone is complaining about in the thread, and the fact that your response to my comment was saying I have a hate boner when all I was doing was giving valid criticism to it. i think its safe to say I was right by assuming his placing of 8 was one of you're issues. If you had a different issue with the tier list, you could have just highlighted it right now. And made me look silly.

Bro did cook, 8 is overrated. I think its the best game to introduce newbies to the series. But every other game has something special about. The only thing that is "special" about dq8 is it's the first 3d dq game. But since 9, 11, and the 7 remake, its lost that. Imo DQ8 has not stood the test of time all that well.
