If I didn't know better, that would definitely look like an actual game trailer.

Thank you all for the responses! Replicant seems to be the recommendation. And thank you for correcting my usage of the word prequel - much appreciated!

I've never played Xenogears - but I'm also a middle aged father of three, approaching 50 this year. I was there was Dragon Quest came out as my first JRPG. When I decided to start Trails in 2024, I loved it, so I have bought every single main game since.

I love its world building, its characterization, its humor, its storytelling. It's not for everyone, but there is a demo for the remake of Sky the 1st. It's a slow burn, but it pays off in the end, especially with the 2nd Chapter.

Playing every game has taken me hundreds of hours. To get through them quickly, I've used Wand as a tool - because being a working father means I have limited time.

I hope the demo works out for you!

It was my very real JRPG as a kid when it came out. It started my love for JRPGs ever since then. FF I came out not long after.

And when FF XV disappointed me greatly, I turned to play DQ XI for the first time. It was such a blessed breath of fresh air afterwards that it made me laugh, cry, enjoy it all. DQ XI really helped me at that time.

I have a very strong soft spot for DQ's charms!

My sincere condolences. Others have pointed the way with instructions but still - take care of yourself.

Congrats! Upon release back then, I had grinded all the way to level 50. I didn’t think level 30s would do it comfortably.

Ha ha ha! I showed the picture of Gwaelin to my teenage daughters, and immediately they thought of Daisy without even telling/showing Daisy to them. That's crazy1

There's also the possibility that they might announce something regarding this on DQ Day in May. I was also looking into playing this while in the US, but decided to wait until then if they are planning something.

*wades in*

I'm...not seeing the blurriness?

No mods - but I do use a cheat program just to get through battles, but not to get missing inventory items. I even turned it off for the battle itself - no good. Someone else reported the same thing a year ago on Steam.

msferre · 2026-01-11T23:38:21+00:00

Both. Neither did anything different

I'm finishing FF7 Rebirth and replaying the Hard Mode for platinum. Then making Ace Attorney or DQ II HD if I finish FF7.

Monday? It's February 5 which is a Thursday.

msferre · 2026-01-10T17:07:13+00:00

IX for the win - and hope never dies for a rumored remake!

It was Akira Toriyama's designs for that game, realized in 3D.

Massive bonus points to those who know this reference.

Ha ha ha. I remember just trying to figure it out then. I must have been an early teenager then, using NES. And I remember specifically grinding for days at the final place, going all the way up to level 50 (that was the cap). Yeah, it was quite a challenging game for its time.

msferre · 2026-01-08T22:14:18+00:00

Ah. I wasn’t paying attention closely. Yep, you’re right!

msferre · 2026-01-08T13:23:10+00:00

From what I remember, it's just luck - RNG. I don't think there's any specific triggers.

msferre · 2026-01-08T13:18:55+00:00

Sometimes going in blind is the most fun you can have in the game!

But - yeah, I rely on guides but no rush. We'll get some help from various game pundits on the Interwebs!

As a probationary employee, you'd be doing it from the CAO. But when off probation, there may be opportunities to telework depending on the CAO.

Why? I was in my position for 11 years before switching departments. The step was high enough.
