you will regret your words and deedsI can't stand Veronica. I put her in the piglet outfit so I can laugh at her until I can remove her from my party.

Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age – Definitive Edition |OT| 2D, or not 2D, that is the question (now available on PS4/XB1/PC)
- Thread starter Deleted member 10737
- Start date
I started playing from where the demo left off and I haven't stopped smiling. This is just incredible. The Switch has become one of the best systems I've ever owned.
Thanks! I didn't really bother to ever go into the settings. Changed the music volume settings since it over powers character dialogue at times.
Second question.
What in the hell is a Puff-puff? Is it something you smoke? Is it ever explained?
I thought this girl in Gallopolis was a prostitute at first.
Puff puff was first introduced in Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama.

Indeed. Even though I had already played about 30 hours on PC, the Switch version blows it away. Such a great game.
I think 2D and 3D are treated like different save paths, so you have to be careful.
This is rad.
I haven't really messed with the 2D mode too much yet, intend to give it a try after making a bit more story progress. Bells and whistles DQ11 on the go is a dream.
Yea I just found that out. Luckily, I still had a decent autosave in 3D mode that I can revert back to.
Put a bit of time in. Rule I'm following this time is to not really try to get into any battles until the first dungeon, I wasted so much time doing that before and it really isn't necessary.
One new (?) thing I love is that not only is it just as addictive filling in all the shiny spots lists, but now we have monster lists per region to fill out too. Yay.
If they are going to do a warning when selecting JP VA, they might as well do find/replace and give us the proper names depending on which language track we pick. Or make everyone editable.
Lastly, when collecting some resources that used to drop multiple things (trees, tall grass, minerals) did it used to pick up all of them automatically for you? Seems new.

Lol I went to 2 walmarts and they dont have the game in stock. Did they shipped few copies or something?
Btw, the PS4 version is still $42. Barely got a discount.

Parental Question:
My 7 year old daughter loves Pokemon, and is playing through the demo right now.
I haven't played ahead of her to know what this game's story is about: Is this game appropriate for a 7 year old?

Nothing so explicit that a 7 year old would catch onto. Most i can think of is some of Jade's special moves, and some death/slavery related things, but nothing extreme.
The Monster List was already present in both the PS4 and Steam release. It's not a new addition for the Switch version.
I'm going into this blind and it's my first DQ game. Is there anything I should know before I start playing?
Not sure why people hate Veronica, she's actually competent, I only find people annoying if they can't back up their attitudes or they are useless.
Unless you pick any of the Draconian settings like harder monsters or such, the game is balanced around you doing a bare minimum of fights, like, maybe fight each new enemy you encounter 2-3 times and leave it at that. Otherwise you'll overlevel fast. Helps with the game's pacing too.
Also, skip the opening video that plays right after you start up the game, before the title screen. The very same video plays again, early on during the game and is much better placed there.
Tell me about it. This game is just incredibly charming the more I progress.
I'm at the desert kingdom, en route to the Slayer of the Sands. I'm most impressed by how well-paced this game is:
- It's usually clear where to go next, but you are still free to explore each area, so adventuring is a joy and not a burden
- Most areas are bounded by thoughtful invisible walls to prevent you from going astray (i.e. you won't fall off cliffs)
- Even the largest areas don't take long to run around, so it's easy to find treasure chests and sparkly items
I find the difficulty on point too, especially once battles starting getting more complex with four people in your party.
Basically, each time I enter a new area, I fight each new enemy type once or twice. So far, I'm not over-leveled this way. And I'd say it's worth checking out each new enemy type, since their designs and animations are top-notch.

Yes because the outfit is tied to wearing the piece of equipment.
Considering you can upgrade equipment and later on the high end upgrades can and will use old equipment as part of the recipe, I recommend not selling anything.
Some of the DLC gear can for example be upgraded to high level end-game variants with greatly increased stats.
Hmm, I sold the starting gear for Erik, Veronica and Serena, plus that Soldier's Sword from the prison. Hopefully they're not really needed for anything.
The bolded isnt right for the Switch version, Outfits are usable independent from the equipped Gear.
For example, i can freely switch between these outfits, without wearing any of the Gear for them equipped.
Money really isn't a huge concern in DQXI, especially once you get to the Casino, which you can mass convert Chips into highly sellable Mercury's Bandana.
Also the Bag has almost infinite storage. Outside of organizational purposes (Beyond the auto-sorting option) there really isn't a necessity to sell old equipment.

By the way, I decided to turn Draconian off. I think harder monsters are actually manageable with enough know-how and prep-time, but my backlog is about to burst and I don't have neither time nor the nerves to commit to that right now. I think what I'm going to do is what Schlauchkopf said above: Doing the bare minimum when it comes to fighting mobs. This way, I won't become overleveled and I progress much faster.
inb4 the game is now a joke difficulty-wise and I regret my decision
Oh my god.
The altars in Tickington are all named after their resoective games' English titles (or relevant theme for the ones without them) except Dragon Quest X which is "the Undeciphered".
Any tips on where to put ability points for each of the four starting party members? I'm just beyond the demo area and haven't applied any.
There's also a monster bestiary in the options menu that fills out as you fight new enemies and even shows how many enemies you're missing in the area, so it's fun to fight everything to fill that out
