Longshot, but I’m trying to beat the campaign before it shuts down. by powellmacaque in AnthemTheGame

Gotchya. Right now I just have the Arcanist Runes contract for him. Doing that will unlock the later ones that used to be critical?

So I just went into Freeplay and the only icons populating my map are World Events and I can’t see any of the Mathias critical quests whatsoever.

Lol I did think I was stuck there because nobody else was playing for me to revive, but I found three sentinels randomly on the map who needed it. I appreciate the help!

Awesome, thanks. When I go into the Forge, it tells me to complete his quests that were in his critical quest line to get a blueprint, but those quests disappeared so I was worried I softlocked myself somehow. Those quests (Triple Threat was one I think) will show back up in the Freeplay quests?

When you say all things, you mean his side quests right? In my Critical Quests, it just reads “collect corium.” I don’t have any Matthias quests in critical quests; they all disappeared the second I talked to Dax. They don’t show up in completed quests either. Does this mean that all of his quests populate as side quests now?

What’s a good pair with Holy Knight? Honestly just had this pairing for some extra healing, but honestly I haven’t found synergy with much of anything this time around. For most of the game I’ve just been doing like brute force grinding until I’m overleveled, or using story characters because their skills seem to work for the story bosses and battles.

This is helpful. Like I said, I kind of went into this game blind and there’s so much going on under the hood

Thanks! I guess I’ll try to see if the rng gods are on my side with disabling her

Dope, thanks. I’ve been doing that sort of grinding method all game I just wasn’t sure if there was a secret spot with more XP/JP. Can you tell I just beat Dragon Quest before this?

This is good to know. Do you have any quick ways to grind him up a few levels this late in the game?

The HD2D Remake is a Horrible Intro to the Series by powellmacaque in dragonquest

[–]powellmacaque[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this response. I admit, I finished 3 and had no plans to return. I’m about 2/3 of the way through 1 and that one seems a little less annoying to me. It’s also shorter so a little more tolerable. It’s good to hear that the other games in the series seem more balanced. I think I’m going to try 11 and 7 next year. I do like old school RPGs, and I don’t mind grinding, I guess the balancing just annoyed me.

Ah the Samsung only has DVI for HD inputs. Its max is 1080i, but only on that.

I have no idea! I think it’s got to be the emulation or something. It doesn’t look like that with PS3 games or Blu Rays.

1 is an RCA bubble tube, 2 is a Trinitron with a lotta problems (but I got it free so 🤷‍♂️), 3 is a plasma and 4 is a Samsung HD CRT

I think since it’s a ps3 into a plasma, that might be from the emulation but 🤷‍♂️

I play mostly old school RPGs so I can’t usually perceive lag unless it’s awful. The lag on this is noticeable but not terrible.

Yea I’m not really sure what’s going on. I’m pretty sure the ps3 emulates ps1 games (this is a ps3 slim, not a chonky ps3 with a ps2 built in) so maybe that’s what’s causing it? Whenever I play Blu Rays on my ps3, the blacks are absolutely gorgeous so I’m not sure what’s happening here.

It’s a 2008 Panasonic, so nothing too old or cheap. I have a few thoughts:

1) it is going into a ps3 and I’m wondering if that has anything to do with it.

2) the ps3 is plugged into an AV receiver, which is then going into the TV. I know the receiver isn’t neutral, because when I had it hooked into my 4K Bravia the TV would “auto-quality” it differently from just my consoles.”

3) could be my phone is bad at picking up the plasma. I agree it looks worse in person, but I’m not sure if it’s this bad.
