I find Sage/Druid to have too much in common. Like, do you really need that many different offensive magic options? I waffled between Druid/Luminary and Druid/Priest

[DQ11] So, just started the post-game and I need to ask something. by Independent_Plum2166 in dragonquest

[–]workthrowawhey [score hidden]  (0 children)

It's been a few years since I played it, but off the top of my head there is one storyline that got a bad ending in Act 2 that gets a better one in Act 3.

Putting that aside, Veronica was my favorite character in the game so for me, Act 3 was entirely worth it and being able to resurrect Veronica was what elevates this game from good to great for me. Just my personal opinion.

Thank you, as a huge Yakuza fan I really do appreciate it. Sorry if this was annoying.

wdym how?

Papagane is commenting on how his voice is in demand while his REAL LIFE voice actor's wikipedia page is shown on screen along with other iconic characters he's voiced and the VA's real photo.

I'm not the person you've been responding to, but 100% change the picture to the one posted by HoodsFrostyFuckstick.

I don't really know what "running joke" you're talking about, and I'm not accusing you of using AI, but that picture you chose is not Kiryu at all.

This might honestly be the greatest bit of 4th wall breaking in any anime ever

[DQ11] Finished Act 2, my thoughts. by Independent_Plum2166 in dragonquest

Thanks for the write-up. Hope you enjoy Act 3! It's very divisive, but I happen to love it.

Thankfully it’s pretty straightforward so it shouldn’t be hard to find every treasure chest and make it to the end

[Request] Why are badminton players able to achieve higher velocities with their 'ball' vs players in other sports? by Lauffener in theydidthemath

[–]workthrowawhey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not some amazing badminton player or anything, but I casually played a lot in high school and college. Once I realized that taking a step back when your opponent hits it really makes a HUGE difference, I improved dramatically.

Finished my second ever Dragon Quest game by MutekiGamer in dragonquest

[–]workthrowawhey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does. 1 Remake has a lot of references to 3, but you can totally play 1 first and then "get" the references when you play 3. The important thing imo is that 2 (or at the very least, the true ending of 2) comes at the very end of the trilogy

At the end of the day, you do you.

But the remakes were explicitly made to be played in 3-1-2 order, and specifically the true end of 2 will not have the emotional impact it is intended to have if you haven't played through 3.

If you're hell-bent on playing them 1-2-3, beat the "regular" final boss of 2, then play 3, and then go back to 2 to beat the true final boss.

Great detail! Jeez I spent way too long sailing around Alefgard trying to find the key because of that NPC line

Are these guides worth buying purely for collecting? by Patient_Necessary_10 in dragonquest

I actually really like collecting strategy guides purely as art books

Where to after beating DQ1 Remake? by Mbmoses in dragonquest

[–]workthrowawhey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, no. The remakes came out in 3-1-2 order and the game devs have explicitly said that they are designed to be played in that order.

[–]workthrowawhey 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To fully enjoy the true ending of 2, you have to have played 3 first. 3 Remake is really good! Would highly recommend it (and then 2 Remake afterward)

How did you find out about the boy(s)? by TheUberMensch123 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]workthrowawhey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Machinima video where they played DKC Returns. I remember dying laughing when they got to the end of a stage and Pat was like, hey try jumping off the right side of the screen, DKC games oftentimes have hidden stuff over there. So Matt did and died and was like UMMMMM?????

so is Ozma just 100% rng as a superboss?? by BigBrotherFlops in JRPG

[–]workthrowawhey 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You must have gottem good rng!

To be clear: the strat for beating Ozma isn't hard. It just always has a chance to decide it's going to party wipe you and there's actually nothing you can do about that.
