^HAVEN'T YOU EVER THOUGHT OF TRAINING YOUR CHARACTERS FIRST BEFORE SENDING THEM OUT ON CHAPTER MISSIONS FIRST? I DO THAT ON MY SACRED STONES GAME.

^^ WOW, JUST 21 OUT OF 65! BUT AT LEAST YOU GOT THROUGH! THAT'S SOMETHING GOOD AT LEAST.

^I MEANT LEVELING THESE GUYS UP TO LV. 20.

AND SECONDLY:

AND WHILE YOU DO THAT, HEAL UP YOUR GUYS, TOO.

THANKS FOR THE TIPS, BUT I ALREADY KNOW THOSE. NO WORRIES, OKAY?

I'M GOING ON A WHIRLWIND DRAGON QUEST...QUEST. I'M PLAYING 8 AT THE MOMENT, AND I REALLY LIKE IT. BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO GET NEXT--4, 5, OR 6. APPARENTLY 7 IS LOOKED DOWN ON FOR BEING LONG EVEN BY JRPG STANDARDS, FROM WHAT I'VE READ. I'M PRAYING AND HOPING THAT 11 GETS LOCALIZED TO THE 3DS. IT WOULD BE NICE IF 3 WAS REMADE AND REUPDATED, TOO, SINCE LOADS OF PEOPLE ARE SINGING ITS PRAISES EVEN TO THIS DAY.
9 IS STILL MY FAVOURITE, BUT I BLAME NOSTALGIA. IT WAS MY FIRST JRPG EVER, NOT COUNTING POKEMON.

PERSONALLY I LIKE 7 AND ITS STORY LINE. I HAVE STILL TO PLAY A DQ GAME I DIDN'T LIKE. I AM SO HOPING TO BE ABLE TO PLAY 11, THOUGH AT THIS POINT I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF IT'LL COME TO NINTENDO AT ALL

I'LL TRY 7 SOME DAY, EVENTUALLY.
I DECIDED TO GET 4 AND 5, AS A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO MYSELF.

WE CAN ALWAYS HOPE.

HOPING INDEED!

4 AND 5 ARE GOOD TOO! I KNOW I'M FAN GIRLING ALMOST AS MUCH AS I DO WITH POKEMON, BUT I JUST THINK DRAGON QUEST IS SUCH AN EXCELLENT SERIES

I GOT TO LV. 40 YESTERDAY IN 8 BY USING A CAMERA TRICK TO MAKE LIQUID METAL SLIMES APPEAR, AND I HADN'T EVEN BEATEN THE FOURTH BOSS. I LOVE GETTING OVERPOWERED IN VIDEO GAMES.

DOES THE SERIES HAVE AN OFFICIAL TIMELINE, BY THE WAY?

METAL SLIMES ARE SO GREAT FOR EXP! (UNLESS THEY FLEE)

I HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH OF ANY OFFICIAL TIMELINE FOR DQ EXCEPT THIS:

THE FIRST 3 GAMES, THE SO-CALLED LOTO TRILOGY, IS IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER 3, THEN 1 AND 2. HAVING NEVER PLAYED THESE 3 I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THEM BUT APPARENTLY THEY ALL TAKE PLACE IN ALEFGARD, SAME AS DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS, DQ'S VERSION OF MINECRAFT.

4, 5, AND 6 (THE ZENITHIA TRILOGY) ARE APPARENTLY NOT MEANT TO BE SO IN A VERY STRICT SENSE, FROM WHAT I'VE READ.

7 AND 8 ARE SUPPOSEDLY NOT SUCH, BUT 4 AND 8 TAKE PLACE IN THE SAME WORLD AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME SEEING AS RAGNAR AND TORNEKO BOTH SHOW UP AT THE MONSTER ARENA.

HUH. THAT'S REALLY NEAT.

I JUST GOT DRAGON QUEST 4 AND 5 IN THE MAIL!

BUT I WANT TO FINISH 8 FIRST BEFORE I PLAY THEM.



ONE OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS ABOUT GETTING NEW GAMES ARE COLLECTING THE CASE AND MANUAL, BUT 3DS GAMES DON'T HAVE PRINTED MANUALS. SO I'M GLAD I GET TO HAVE ONES FOR DQ4 AND 5.

AH, THE FEELING OF RECEIVING A BRAND NEW GAME IN THE MAIL! I GOT MYSELF A CHRISTMAS GIFT BLACK FRIDAY; A NEW 3DS FOR 50% OF ITS NORMAL PRICE!! IT'S THE ONE WITH THE OLD SNES LOOK, THE ONE I WANTED THE MOST! I'M VERY HAPPY WITH IT. I HAVE STARTED MY NEW PLAYTHROUGH OF USUM ON IT, I WANTED TO TRY OUT SOME NEW TEAM IDEAS.

I MISS MANUALS IN 3DS GAMES. SOMETIMES THEY HAD USEFUL INFO, ESPECIALLY THINGS LIKE WHAT THE DIFFERENT BUTTONS DO BEFORE MY CHARACTER DIES OR USES SOMETHING VALUABLE WITHOUT MEANING TO.

ENJOY YOUR NEW GAMES!

WOW, SEVENTY-THREE PAGES ALREADY

JUST TWO TILL 75!! !!
