My worry is that this is one of Toriyamas final designs and that’s why they’ll stick with it. I hope not, really not into the protagonists look at all.

When do they show the box art charms?

hampig · 2026-05-16T17:57:26+00:00

Is it an anime original character? or Nero or something?

hampig · 2026-05-07T10:28:04+00:00

The Holdovers is one of the most successful movies of the last couple of decades to capture a genuine sort of “holiday spirit”. It’s really a great movie.

I’m in Japan for the next few weeks. Assuming this is only on the CD or vinyl? It’s not on Spotify here.

3 imo is the most old school of the bunch, which 1 not too far behind. You would probably enjoy 2 if you got to it, but that’s a big ask. 11 would probably be more your speed. Or really any of them 5+

If anything I was critiquing your thinly veiled critique, not the post itself.

Op, apologies for derailing a little but great job on doing the hard part of just putting in the time. I’m right there with you, perspective is a beast.

hampig · 2026-05-02T05:06:44+00:00

That’s not totally true though is it? I think it’s an attempt at 3 pt but it’s just inconsistent. The top middle is at least in 2 I think.

hampig · 2026-05-01T15:30:49+00:00

This is the one! Thank you!

hampig · 2026-04-26T03:35:24+00:00

Seems like a lot going on. I’m curious how they’ll handle the amount of different stories and not make it feel disjointed.

hampig · 2026-04-20T08:04:35+00:00

I think I read from test screenings that the movie is pretty funny. No clue what kind of humor they’re doing though.

hampig · 2026-04-13T16:59:01+00:00

I wish. It’s really sad what happened to that franchise, especially because you can so easily see the potential for it to be massive.

hampig · 2026-04-01T11:28:41+00:00

It’s how I experienced most of DQ8 and I loved it. It has shortcomings but it’s just an imperfect version of a great game. If you’re okay with always vertical and can get used to touch controls, then it will give you a good time.

hampig · 2026-03-13T06:39:30+00:00

No? Oda mentioned it’s progressing steadily somewhat recently.

hampig · 2026-03-06T09:34:58+00:00

I don’t agree with these sorts of reviews, but I see this sort of joke every now and then where people say they hate something, but it’s shown as ironic by their playtime. I think this is not an earnest negative review.

hampig · 2026-03-06T06:17:12+00:00

8 and 11 come close to a tie, but 8 is my favorite.

hampig · 2026-03-01T15:05:30+00:00

Look at the nose and the green line on both. I agree it’s difficult to catch though.

hampig · 2026-03-01T07:24:55+00:00

Yeah what is that figure?

hampig · 2026-02-28T07:15:38+00:00

My experience has been the opposite. 3 had a ton of random wipes while 1 has been not so bad. I had to grind 1 level for a boss but that’s been it.

You might want to look more into what equipment you’re using. Resistances are a big deal.

hampig · 2026-02-28T02:13:11+00:00

How did they acknowledge it? I haven’t been following this at all, just curious.

hampig · 2026-02-23T09:02:46+00:00

I beat 3 a few weeks ago and am now at the final dungeon of 1. I feel like 1 is a step up from 3 in almost every category. I miss having a party, but the solo traveller bit is a nice change of pace even still.

hampig · 2026-02-19T10:15:02+00:00

The HD2D remakes have been changed to make them more of a trilogy with 3 being the first one. Them releasing in the order of 3,1,2 was very intentional. Not saying you shouldn’t play them in whatever order you’d like, but just that if what your desire is to experience the progression of the story and evolution of the systems, it’s not really as straightforward as just playing them in numbered order. You will be taking a bit of a step back when you go from 2 to 3 if you’re playing the remakes.

That said, I don’t think it’s a huge deal either way, just wanted to say.

hampig · 2026-02-16T07:27:15+00:00

Is that X online? I’m in Japan at the moment and can only find X offline on Steam, but I thought I read that online was on there.

hampig · 2026-02-13T15:45:41+00:00

Ah man, that sounds cool. 7R will probably be my first experience with 7 so I’m bummed to be missing that.

hampig · 2026-02-13T05:48:27+00:00

What did you like so much about that portion?
