Dragon Warrior/Quest Themed Crawl

Post by HaunterV »

If we ever get the chance to reskin/recolor the monsters, I want to do a couple floors themed after DragonWarrior/DragonQuest.

Primarily I need to change the slimes, add a dracky analogue, Unarmed Ogres if its possible to do such a thing can fill in for the Golems.

Maybe get a set of Edricks armor and spread it around the dungeon.

Well, we already have Slimes ready. Just gotta recolor 'em blue and stick a smiley face on them. :)

Or you're seeing the DBZ in the character design. :P

Yeah I think I played it, then forget it existed or that I'd even played it?! :shock: Guess I found it kind of average if I'd hated it I would definitely recall. :?

It's definately a great game but it's very japanese in design. Lotta Grinding as a main staple of progression.

I remember only having to actively grind twice in DQ8. It really wasn't that bad!

I played DQ9 for a while and tried really really hard to like it. However, the game didn't deliver. It was a disappointing, shallow experience. I want RPGs to be as awesome as Final Fantasy III / VI and Chrono Trigger again.

Also, what good is the option to exit the game after saving? In most cases, that doesn't even return you to the main menu, but gives you a "you may now shut down the game" screen that is entirely pointless.
Consoles/handhelds have power/reset buttons these days....

Those days are all but behind us now my friend.

The shutdown screen is a hold over from days gone by for DQ/DW. When it was a simpler time and a power fluctuation through the cart could flash erase your save.
