Ideas for what these two look like under the hood and helmet, this game has taken over my brain.
The doomed yuri got me alright?
Anyway everyone needs to go check out The Dark Queen of Mortholme, @qwertyprophecy 's anti-game! Love the way this approaches the genre it's evoking, and it had some very poignant lines!!! The embrace lives in my head rent free currently.
Gave the hero a ponytail because they have one in some of the dev concept art, and credit for the idea of the Queen being blind goes to Critique_Masochist, who has a lovely fic for this game already! It's Maybe One Day We'll Both Still Be Breathing over on ao3, go check it out!

Hopefully this reaches the like 5 people who might have played both of these games, but I'm currently thinking very hard about a slay the princess au for dark queen of mortholme.
Stp being my favorite doomed/fated lovers of all time, and dqm being even more doomed honestly lol.
But yeah, hero as the hero obviously, and a dark queen instead of a princess! We'll see if I go anywhere with this lol.

2024 Game Clear #26 Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince
Tumblr media
Ya'll I'm so happy that Square Enix is finally localizing DQM games again after we missed out on 3 whole Monsters games in the 3DS era, The first DQMJoker is one of my favorite childhood games so when this was announced during a Nintendo direct last year I was hooting and hollering. (slight spoilers below)
And while the game does make some choices that I'm not sure that I really love, I still had a good time with it! I've uh actually haven't played Dragon Quest 4 which this is a prequel too (I'm gonna play it next I just kinda wanted to see how well this game could function as a prologue of sort) but I adore the idea of trying to become king of monster-kind as a premise for a Monster game, it's a neat premise but I do kinda feel like the game gives away some of it's power near the end in favor of a happier ending, I suppose that I wanted to slowly continually decay into a tragic villain but I guess the idea that friendship can save anyone from a tragic fate is pretty powerful tooo i guess...
speaking on that, Psaro talks in DQ4 right? they make the choice to keep him silence, and i'm not sure if I really like it, I don't really have a problem with silence protagonists but Psaro has more active motivations and machinations within the plot than the average silence hero, I can see the argument that keeping him silence helps keep the player at a distance from Psaro just like how he keeps everyone else around him at a distance but I still don't know if it personally works all that well for me.
There's also a lot of pointless "yes or no" dialog trees where if you say the opposite of what Psaro wants the game will just ignore you. i'm not sure why they even really exist at all... though it is funny that you can keep looping the bad ending after Tolien travels back in time to stop you.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But all that aside, i still really did enjoy the story despite my minor grips, and gameplay wise once synthesis gets unlocked, it gets really addictive, constantly scouting and fusion monster together to make your collection more powerful is such a fun gameplay loop, it's easy to constantly compare these type of games to Pokémon and criticizing them for not doing certain things as well as Pokémon, but they're different games, with different goals then what Pokémon sets out to do.
Pokémon gameplay loop tends to be about getting attached to your the Pokémon you catch, watching them evolve and grow more powerful throughout the course of the game, most people will still have their starter on the team for the entire game and you get a real attachment to your creatures by the endgame.
On the flipside in a DQM game you'll probably won't have any of the specific monsters that you used in the early game by the time you reach the end. Power comes at cost and if you want good monster to beat the bosses with your gonna have to sacrifice some monster to synthesis if you want to progress, apposed to Pokémon where at least for the main story stuff you can pretty much just win with favorites, neither style is necessarily better or worst their just different flavors that'll appeal differently to different people
Still if you want a monster catcher game that's not Pokémon, highly recommend you check this out, there so much room in this genre for more than just Pokémon

Dragon Quest VI - The Beginning
On September 25, I started playing the Android version of DQVI. It's definitely the mainline game I've heard the least about. Yep, it's time to finish the Zenithian trilogy! I can't wait to meet Terry and play DQM after that.
Let's get something out of the way first... I hate the Hero's design.
Tumblr media
I hate his hairstyle. I hate his clothes. I especially hate his purple shorts. However, I like his earrings. I named him Rek.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I must say, the scenery looks quite nice both in towns and the overworld (no pun intended). The phantom realm is intriguing! It's interesting to think about the progression of graphics and gameplay from DQV, both between the games on the original SNES and on Android.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Fortune Festival reminded me of the celebration of Santa Lucia, a Christian holiday in Scandinavian countries. A girl is selected to represent Lucia, and she wears a wreath on her head adorned with glowing candles.
Tumblr media
All three, next question. I wish the Hero and Carver got to wear the uniforms!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Speaking of Carver, I like the friendship between him and the Hero. I can't wait to meet the others, especially Terry.

And thats it. Wonder how much all thats worth approximately now. Some of it, not very much I'd guess lol.
Anyway I'll have to think on it
Much as I've always loved games I'm starting to wonder as things collect dust; do I really need a copy of cubivore? Surely someone else would be happier with it and I'd be happier with some cash.
I'm mostly on this line of thought cause I'm dead broke and want to get into photography but its SO expensive. Maybe I can at least get a decent camera if I sell most of my games? I dont really know how to go about doing that though... Yard sale? Ebay? Fb marketplace? Do people still use kijiji? Idk.
Maybe I'll just start by going through and making a list of everything I'm willing to part with

Relateable taglines from Dragon Quest Monsters that prove that square enix knows exactly what the fans want
Every monster game should just be marketed with "they are cute and they will cherish you"!!!!

I like finding license plates with a familiar group of letters like DKC or GBA. I also like to make meanings for ones that almost could represent something but don't. Some are easy peasy like FFH (Fire Femblem Heroes). I've seen them twice in different locations this week! #blessed

DQM original monster. The ghost of a slime who never forgets the resentment killed by a hero

Hope this helps with the confusion surrounding The Hero. Some of the listed names here are the ones the publisher used in promotional material -like Auster or Eleven-, but they’re widely considered the character’s name in the (western) fanbase. The novels and CD Drama are Japan-only btw, and a such the listed names from those are fantranslated. Basically, the most used name for each of them is:
DQ1 = Alef
DQ2 = Allen
DQ3 = Erdrick
DQ4 = Solo (Sofia for the girl, but this is irrelevant as she isnt in Smash)
DQ5 = Madason
DQ6 = Botsu 
DQ7 = Auster
DQ8 = Eight
DQ9 = Nine
DQ10 = X
DQ11 = Eleven or Luminary
All this info can be found in the DQ wikis.  (Note: I added a citation for Emblem of Roto and for Dragon Quest Monsters + because they are not retellings/adaptations of the games like the DQ6 or DQ7 manga, but expansions of the games’ lores! Emblem of Roto is set decades after DQ3, and in DQM+ the party travels through worlds)

Captured a mummy which was nice- I grinded on them for a bit because I want to get a stock of monsters at level 10 and just dive in and breed a full new team (potentially including 3 newly bred substitutes too).
Also this is minorly dumb.
Don't get me wrong, it works for the plot, it's an okay excuse I guess, whatever.
I just have a pet-peeve about games giving you overpowered options and then saying "Oh shit, those are overpowered! You can't use it here where you'd most like the option!"
Like just balance the game better, dolt. Or let me break it because that's half the fun in most games- learning the systems and breaking it.
But in truth, this is alright for two reasons.
1) I was already moderately annoyed that he even exists as he does. I don't want to be given a mega OP unit with god tier growth rates and moves 2 seconds in, what's the point? This is a DQM game, why would I want a unit that puts the entire team on his back from the word go and starts carrying?
2) This helped convince me to finally do what I was already debating on- throwing him in the farm and forgetting him because he's overtuned lol
So before I toss him in the box and ignore him outside of story moments I'll say some quick stuff on the little guy.
I really dig how he has lightning magic- it's a mainstay of DQ that the "Hero" character can use lightning spells- so that's a really fun bit of consistency that made me smile.
I think his second form is ugly, but I like the concept of him being some monster that's utilizing ancient power which physically transforms him- it's a BIT too pokemon for me? (Evolution, obviously) but it's certainly an interesting change to the series- I AM stoked to see his future forms from those pedestals.
As I implied earlier- I really REALLY disagree with how he's been tossed at the player. Who plays DQM or Pokemon or any other monster RPG and thinks "You know what this needs? A single monster that becomes the only part of my team that matters and has 10x potential both in the future and right now than any of the monsters I could ever get for the next 10 hours of gameplay".
And like, I know people play pokemon and end up with like a level 60 Charizard and level 30 teammates, that's not what I mean specifically- what I mean is imagine that charizard was given to you AS a charizard and that his stats were 3-4x higher than they currently can be in the game.
Like why?
Anyways, heading to the scout base to drop this weird chicken off.
/minor hyperbole throughout/

Yknow, if there was one thing I could change about Dragon Quest 8, it would be the skill point system. I mean, I loathe finding better weapons of other types (most recently, a Holy Lance when I’m running a Sword build) because switching comes at the expense of all the skill points you’ve already allocated and unless things have drastically changed from the PS2 version, there’s just not enough points to master everything.
I also dislike that DQ9 and DQM Joker followed this same path. It was better done in Dragon Quest Heroes, I’ll admit, since you get enough points to get everything anyways (and nothing ever gets blocked off for choosing to use a different weapon).
Honorable mention: the Alchemy Pot. I just wish I could sell my trash items rather than keep them in case they /might/ be useful later.

DQIX has some deep lore, huh? 
After finishing my replay of IX, i decided to see how my main savefile was. At some point, i went to a grotto where the boss was Greygnarl. When you talk to him, he mentions how him (light), Barbarus (darkness) and another dragon called Styrmling (holy power) were once one.  He also says that holy power guided the protagonist and also revived both light and darkness. His dialog seems to imply the hero somehow possesses some of Styrmling’s power.
His name reminds me of someone else’s name, doesn’t it? That of a guy who can interact with both celestrians (and other holy beings like fairies or goddesses) and humans: Sterling. The Japanese names for Sterling and Styrmling are アギロ (Agiro) and アギロゴス (Agirogos), respectively. The Spanish names are Astracán and Astraco. These two seem to have similar names in all languages, at least in the ones i checked. But that’s not all: if Styrmling IS a dragon, he should be able to also interact with celestrians (and other holy beings like fairies or goddesses) and humans, like Greygnarl and Barbarus did. 
Tumblr media
The funny thing is this Styrmling dude DOES NOT appear in DQ9 besides the dialog in which Greygnarl mentions him. BUT, for some reason, they added a Styrmling (aka a アギロゴス) into the 3DS remakes of the original DQM. Here’s how he looks like:
Tumblr media
The designs are overall pretty different but looks at this:
Tumblr media
The armor have some similarities, in particular the central part. 
Am i reaching too far? Maybe. Am i saying these two are the same, or related in some way? Absolutely.
