"thus do the voices of the mortals plead, ever hopeful of proof of our existence..."

RIP Toriyama. He may not have influenced it quite as much as Dragon Ball, but his art gave Dragon Quest so much of its charm, and IX in particular means a lot to me.

Headcanon: The companions don't actually know they have a Celestrian in their midst until they get to Wormwood Creek.

DQ9 Remake (hypothetical)

I'm sure a lot of us would like to see a Dragon Quest IX remake, at some point, but what would we actually want from it? Graphical improvements are given, unless they give the job ILCA, but what else? Should stuff be added? What stuff? Should it be faithful in every way to the DS original? Your thoughts please.

Please comment/reblog with your thoughts, and anything else you'd like to see.

cosmic showdown round 1

steven universe & greg universe (steven universe): 1. His name literally has “universe” in it 2. Has a star on his shirt, sometimes his eyes will have stars in it 3.His mom is an alien from space thus making him half alien 4. Lots of stars in show and again, a lot of star images revolve around him

stella (dragon quest 9): her name, + her chamber (https://youtu.be/3hCx1WqluAU?t=289 at the given timecode)

I actually started running this arc as a TTRPG campaign

And they ask me why I'm a lesbian. My nine year old self had a pretty clear answer to that

Name: Sacksquatch

Debut: Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies

Look! It's a burlap sack! I don't know what it is about burlap, but I love when a creature is made of it. It just feels right. I think scarecrows establish that burlap is destined to become a creature, and we all know that scarecrows walk around at night and when no one is looking, stealing crops from rival farms to use for bartering with birds.

So why shouldn't non-scarecrow burlap be able to come to life, too? It just makes sense! The one improvement I have in mind for Sacksquatch is that it does not contain potatoes, my preferred thing for a burlap sack to contain.

Instead, it contains sand, because it is a Sandbag! The kind you use to batten down the hatches (I am not using that phrase correctly), or to lighten your hot air balloon, or a whole bunch of things. I'm sure it can be nice to hug one if there's no one else around, or even if there are people around who you like less than a sack of sand. Sacksquatch in particular is said in one game to be from a factory, and in another to be from a construction site. The implied branching timeline of Sack Of Sand!

Here is the funny sack in its debut on the DS! It debuted as a bonafide Monster, an enemy to get in your way and be fought, and this rough-textured ruffian just loves to blow sand in heroes' eyes to temporarily blind them. That is VERY rude, but I can't be mad at it. What else is a leaking sack of sand to do? Drop a grand piano on you? This is just what they do!

As with most Dragon Quest monsters, Sacksquatch would appear in Dragon Quest Monsters games, where it can be YOUR friend! Will you welcome it? It will probably sprinkle sand in your undergarments for a giggle, but that's probably how it shows affection! And in the recent DQM3, if you fuse it with a killer hymenopteran...

You get the all-new Saccharine Sacksquatch! I know this looks like cheese, but it is honey! Unlike gray sand, honey is a substance which I am actively a fan of. Saccharine Sacksquatch is a strange concept! I would not think to fill a burlap sack with honey (and I would not eat honey from a sack), but it is certainly more striking than if it was full of oats or dirt or something. These sacks love to eat honey and try to raid the nests of killer bees, but I think a perfect solution would be for it to allow some regular bees to nest within its body. A sack full of bees! Don't squeeze it! I like to think it would be able to taste any honey it contains.

Sacksquatch makes a small cameo in Dragon Quest Builders 2, where it is the icon for Faerie Fertilizer. Though made of bones, petals, and dirt, the description calls it "manure", so I will not be including the image. Just in case. Perhaps an unwholesome appearance, but I appreciate it. Compost Is Cool!

What I've Been Playing - October

Darq: psychological platformer horror

Status: Unfinished (3/6 chapters)

Initial Thoughts: I like the mechanics and the dreamlike atmosphere, less sold on the monster designs.

Rating: 3.7/5

Bramble: The Mountain King: Nordic horror adventure

Status: Unfinished (12/16 levels)

Initial Thoughts: I love this game so much. The music, the menace, the pathos. Only complaints are less accessible for D/deaf players and massive difficulty spike at level 12.

Rating: 4.8/5

Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies: Fantasy turn-based JRPG

Status: Finished (x8)

Thoughts: I'm so glad that this game has held up for me since I was eleven. While I miss the aspects of having defined characters in your party, the running theme of coming to peace regarding death and missed opportunities more than make up for it.

Rating: 4.2/5

Avalon Code: fantasy action role play

Status: Unfinished (prev. 6/11 chapters, new 1/11)

Thoughts: This game has way more confusing controls than I remember when I was nine though I find fighting easier. The concept is really cool (you have to collect information to preserve before the world ends) and I had an early crush on some of the romantic interests. However, it's unwieldy and does not seem to make use of its core conceit.

Rating: 2/5.

That wraps up October's game update, I guess. DQ III's remake comes out next month but we'll find out if I have any money, then.

If that's Goresby-Purrvis, one of the taller enemies in the game, how small is everything else in DQ9?

Goresby looks to be like 2ft high, and he is twice the height of the PC.

If Goresby is smol, then you, and every other human sized thing in the game is baby.

small….
