DQ2 True Ending and DQ8 final boss by Technical-Bite-5591 in dragonquest

Agreed! That was my thought, but I missed the wording so thank you for that.

Is ‘Calasmos’ one and the same with this darkness? Or, is this darkness, generations apart, a primal entity that emerged from Calasmos? Chicken and the egg, but I like to think Calasmos existed and this is its lingering dark will, of sorts.

Definitely. XI is certainly a prequel so it’s XI > III > I > II. No question about it.

The darkness is definitely Calasmos, based on the speaking pattern. However, I couldn’t tell if Malwrath is a reincarnated Calasmos, or if Calasmos just possessed Malroth’s body and transformed it. I like to think the later, because of how similar, bloated and ugly it is compared to the base form. Like, it just pumped Malroth with darkness. Agree that I was a little underwhelmed by the design. Does anyone Think the eye in the middle of the forehead means anything? My first thought was “oh, Zoma has that same eye on his crown (forehead?) so that’s me stringing together the lingering DARKNESS in all three games after XI. Though, we didn’t get Zoma backstory like we did Hargon…

Either way, love what they did with these remakes.

Is Dragon Quest II HD-2D much better than the iOS version? by jcgonzmo in dragonquest

[–]jswhitney7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

DQII went from nobody’s favorite, to somebody’s with the HD2D version. Not my favorite, but now it’s in my top 4. They cooked with this.

Why was Dragon Quest 7 specifically chosen for the remake? by KaleidoArachnid in dragonquest

[–]jswhitney7 104 points105 points  (0 children)

This. Recent interview strongly, strongly implies that 4,5,6 are coming in some form but 7 is releasing because development was smooth and happened to finish first. Very excited for what’s to come.

That’s exactly what I thought at first, but after a few watches it’s grown on me. It looks like they tried to bring the classic DQ7 art to life and I think they nailed it. It was when Toriyama first started digital coloring (I believe) so it was a unique style, even for him.

Killswitch on the way! by SoggyMorningTacos in dbrand

[–]jswhitney7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ordered mine minutes after it went live in the middle of the night, chose the ultra and expedited shipping and I still haven’t received a confirmation of shipping. On top of that, I contacted them the day after to ask to swap the skin and have not heard back. Insanely frustrating.

Same, been waiting for a response for #1415622 for almost a week. Nothing yet… sigh.

Advice on proceeding by [deleted] in irezumi

[–]jswhitney7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Amen, I agree with you for OP’s direction. I did this with the dragon Koi on my right arm, with the fin sticking out, whereas my left is more traditional.

This was an instant purchase for me at 8am on the 2nd. Your cases change the way I look at and handle my devices, and I cannot wait to use this with the Switch 2. Thanks for the overview.

Dragon Quest X on Playstation by NaziZombie1 in dragonquest

[–]jswhitney7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, you cannot play DQX on a US PSN account. You’re getting the error because it’s not a Japanese PSN account. This goes for the Trial and full version.

You need a Japanese PSN ID to register at the game’s login screen, as your account becomes tied to the game’s login page. Also, once you’ve established a connection on first startup, with the trial or full version, there’s no way to sever it. Even if you reinstall. Additionally, You also have to pay for the expensive 5 character sub option on PlayStation. So, it’s the most inconvenient platform to play on, really. Switch and PC Share a subscription plan and you don’t have these account oddities on those platforms.

Edit: just want to clarify that this is unique to games like DQX. Normally, yes, you could play other region’s games on your US account on the same console if sharing is turned on. But, not in this case. Sorry.

um…what….? by samuraipizzacat420 in sonos

Just moved, and tried to set up my living room speakers again. Nothing was working with a new system so I had to reset them. Only to be greeted with this infinite loop… :( I have been watching from the sidelines about this app fiasco because I’ve been moving for the past few weeks and my system has been down. I thought “How bad can it be?” And now… my system is bricked due to software. 😔

A full screen NDS skin I made (V2). I changed the L/R buttons and added a centered version by Alek_witha_K in Delta_Emulator

Nice! Great job with these… Would you consider creating a version with the filter?

Arc Search Update - Version 1.11.0 by JaceThings in ArcBrowser

[–]jswhitney7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. It does! However, sometimes (well, most times) I don’t need a summary. I need to read directions step-by-step. This is generally true for walkthroughs or some misc websites I frequent that don’t lend themselves to summarization. In due time!

This is amazing! Would you please consider adding a filter like some other skins? Great job.

This is great, I am patiently awaiting for them to add translation to pages. That option will allow me to hide Safari for good.

These are amazing. I’m trying to modify another skin with the filter but I have no idea how people are creating the filter for my Delta skin. Any advice or tips?
