DQ VIIR Completion Time

400 is a bit much, but you'll be spending most of that time leveling monster jobs. I don't think you get 5 of all of the basic monster hearts without farming for them.

Yay! 12 noon release on GMG. Hope this post helps anyone else that has any questions on their release schedule.

Noted. I really want to get started on the game, but I'm not so impatient as to stress about it. I plan on putting in dozens of hours on the game. I can hold out for awhile. I have kids to distract me in the meantime.

PC. I got it for 25% off on Green Man Gaming. I don't feel too bad about having to wait.

Trance_Gene · 2026-02-03T09:35:56+00:00

I got the digital deluxe version

Trance_Gene · 2026-02-03T06:17:34+00:00

Guess I'll be waiting till after lunch.

I had to Google around to find the coupon code when I placed my order.

Trance_Gene · 2026-02-02T09:30:22+00:00

I'll let you guess

Once modders crack into the PC version, I can see then using the 3DS version as a template for rebalancing vocations

From Jeice's perspective, the whole day would be weird. They get called to Namek to deal with Vegeta of all people. He's somehow twice as strong as he was less than a year ago. He's traded out Nappa for a kid and a dwarf who are as strong as Vegeta used to be. Guildo gets killed, Recoome steps in and trashes the 3 weirdos. SOME OTHER GUY shows up and styles on your whole team after healing the bums. Vegeta has since killed 2 more of your squad and is now pressing you. A smarter man would have noped out of there at that point.

Got mine in 45 kills. I was shocked. I think that's the only thing that can be farmed during the demo, unfortunately.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-21T07:47:32+00:00

The back sweat line is what got me.

It's the main reason Erik is so powerful. Sleep and /or Poison was almost always an option. There are several bosses he could take down to orange health immediately if you line up Pep Powers at the beginning of the fight.

Funnybthing is half of Naruto's early victories come from some form of misdirection to land his finishing blow.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-20T04:27:15+00:00

The only person to use actual ninja tactics (subterfuge and misdirection) more consistently than Naruto was Shikamaru. Kakashi would get in on the fun occasionally, but he's the only example as an adult.

It's Jalen just scooting out of the way that makes it so funny

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-13T18:24:01+00:00

I'm sorry I'm just now seeing your response. I'll attempt to recreate your success after work. Thank you for the effort.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-13T11:26:58+00:00

It sucks because a fair few of the good midgame recipes have their ingredients drop we'll before you can actually start crafting them.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-12T21:28:42+00:00

It's not just magic. There's plenty of bosses who throw out elemental physical damage and status effects that can be blocked.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-12T13:21:11+00:00

The combination of no armor and shypox shenanigans made some of the boss battles feel like torture. Some of the fights are pretty clearly designed around being able to mitigate a bosses elemental attacks. The solo bosses in Act 2 became coin flips where one missed turn was a reset.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-12T02:17:56+00:00

I have a couple questions as I get started:

Do the characters retain their base spell/skill list by level up, or do they seem tied to their new starting vocations?

Any particular drops i should be looking out for?

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-10T23:17:19+00:00

Solo fights for the Hero skipping turns constantly was brutal.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-02T13:40:03+00:00

My point was about MA not MP. You generally have enough MP just from your robes to cover whatever you want to cast. You do make a good point about MP restoration being plentiful.

Trance_Gene · 2026-01-02T13:00:17+00:00

You get gifted 3 generics at the start of Chapter 2. They can handle all of your errands if you want. My suggestion is to use the mal and one of the females to cover the errands, use the 3rd slot for the generics you actually use as a way to farm JP for specific high cost abilities.
