Together on a Quest

Courtesy of this art piece goes to Your Femboy Shapeshifter!

When the world is thrust into great peril, there needs to be a hero to deliver it to peace once again. When you think of what makes a hero, one would assume a young man clad in armor, bearing a sword brimming with light and and a shield sturdy (and yet lightweight) enough to deflect all manner of monster strikes and sinister incantations. And how far would a hero get through his long journey but without a valiant steed to share that same spirited will for justice in a world overcome by sin and despair? Most importantly, a hero must be courageous, steadfast in seeing his goals met, and above all else, be a faithful example of mankind's love for all life that lives!

I am cosplayed as the Hero, Alef, from the very first Dragon Quest, and with me is my ever loyal companion Arthur the Keldeo!

steam library challenge: dragon quest 1

rating: 7/10 quick review: frustratingly simple and fun to play finished 3/17/23

WOW I had fun with this game. it’s so simple and sometimes insanely frustrating due to its limitations- not being able to save except at the castle, no such thing as fast travel- but I felt great being able to finally beat it.

gotta say, the dragon lord really gave me a run for my money at the end. I think I was underleved, even while following a guide. I did end up using save states just for peace of mind, or this game would have driven me insane I think. I played what I think is the mobile remake of the game? with an interesting translation.

it’s cool to see where this series originated as well as the influence from toriyama’s art direction. I know almost nothing about the dragon quest games and I intend to play through all of them, maybe one every time I’ve beaten 3-5 steam games.

this game has its flaws of course, especially looking at it from a modern lens. but it’s a great game regardless and easy to get through. I’m excited to see how the series develops with each title!

I drew an Alef!

I wonder what he's so angry about.

I also made an animation under the cut!

Warning: It's kinda flashy.

i am still thinking about rook choking emmrich and buying them jewelry for that purpose. but i am now ALSO thinking about an emmrich x rook x lucanis polycule. getting up to the same shenanigans.

lucanis has a line about spending four hours in the market because his cousin wanted to buy gloves to impress a woman. imagine these two spending hours wandering various markets looking for the perfect rings and bracelets to adorn rook's hands. the two of them bickering about style before realizing rook has two hands so they can each decorate one as they please. spite being very, very insistent that he gets to pick one. and since lucanis is annoyed about it, emmrich lets him pick a ring on his behalf for rook, too.

and while perhaps it started for rook, the two of them start buying jewelry for each other, too.

and while it starts with hands, i'm sure it evolves into necklaces and earrings and all sorts of accoutrement. lucanis buying emmrich an earring set stylized to like a wisp from the necropolis. rook buying the ugliest, chunkiest emerald ring because it reminded them of manfred's eyes. emmrich finds a piece that resembles all the bones in a person's hand and rook and lucanis get into a fight about who gets to wear it first. spite's picks in jewelry being surprisingly deep and meaningful. rook picking out jewelry with little pockets for poisons or stylized to look like wyvern's for lucanis. emmrich commissioning a skull pin similar to his but in the shape of a crow's for when lucanis has to do more formal work.

i am just. having many thoughts about jewelry as a love language.

emmrich has rook and lucanis' left hands, lucanis has the right for emmrich and rook, and rook gets one of each :)
