Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age |OT| Classic Combat Camera is Crucial

It's absolutely a coincidence. Jacobbles is from Jacob, my name, and Cobbles is just a shortened version of that. Also I like slimes, so there's the avatar connection.
The DQ11 Cobblestone thing is purely coincidental.
Would recommend Trails of Cold Steel if you're really into flashy, Limit Break style moves.
Who knows. I had never thought anything special about the original name "ishi" (means "stone" in English), until I saw a thread said that change "ishi" into kanji character 石, then break it into ロ and ト, which means "Roto" (Erdrick).
I like your interpretation.
English version of DQ often translates the intent nicely. Let's see if I can find some more about this in later narratives.

As a composer myself the last thing i want to be doing is turning down the music but alas, i went down 3 notches but it needs to come down a bit more. The choice to go down the midi route is a baffling one. It doesn't work for me. There's also to much music, most of the time i really just want to wander, take in the sights, let the FX do their work, but even the FX are a real mixed bag.
Im still waiting for them to bring it to the west on ps4.
its literally the only release left for it lol.
According to DF it was 1800c, unless that's changed from the Japanese release
btw, the music much like I thought it's fine in MIDI. It don't really bother me in anyway.
As in the compositions, I already liked what I heard before the game was released in the initial ones are good. Now I want to hear the great ones that probably will only appear more in the future.

So is the general recommendation for JRPG veterans to go for higher enemy stats in Draconian mode?
Can't upgrade the Trodian gear. :( Wish these games entertained the glamour/vanity side of things more.
Hm, interesting! Here's what mine looks like, logged out of Steam and with my cookies cleared.It's sixth on mine:
Maybe it's regional. Do you mind telling me what region you're in?
You can you just won't get the materials needed for it until a lot later in the game.
Argh I don't know which version to get!
I have a PS4 PRO and a 4k TV.
I have a PC with a 1080ti and a 4k Montior.
PC is upstairs on my desk and my PS4 pro is down in my sitting room.
I could do steam in home streaming down to my Samsung TV for Comfy Couch but I'm limited to 1080p then and possible input lag.
Ugh....

Ah, right! I'm in the US. If I set my VPN elsewhere the list changes. #1 top selling Steam game in the US is pretty impressive! I hope this game can be the breakthrough the series deserves outside of Japan.
Would be really cool to see the series succeed on PC. Anything that gets these games into the hands of more players.
Well maybe it doesn't matter when in battle, but during the exploration 60fps could be and added value :)
It is impressive that it's selling this much considering they haven't shown anything about the port at all. At least MHW had PC previews sent to various streamers and press people and while they didn't really cover the reality of the port that well due to testing on mostly powerful machines or not testing all the areas(Kushala/Teostra shit for example, or the whole online which wasn't available prelaunch) at least there was something.
I really want to grab this early for the preorder bonus+reduced price but the absolute lack of info is kinda worrying. It is square so it's not their first port but who knows which team they put on the port, and if they'll bother fixing anything more than the minimum.

There's a chance we get a DQ3 remake as the next big title, since they built a portion of it in Unreal 4 to settle on how this game would look.
I really need to finish DQ V, VI, VII and VIII before jumping into XI. I know they stand on their own, but I like playing these types of series in progression. The same goes for FF...
Sure, I'm not saying it doesn't matter at all. I just don't know know that it matters that much for a turn-based game. So, convenience might be more compelling. For me the combination of convenience and having a physical copy for my shelf was enough to outweigh 60fps and the possibility of an eventual orchestral mod and make me go for PS4, but that's different for everyone.
All 11 DQ game have featured a silent protagonist who is always male right?
I wonder if they'll ever venture into the realm of having a non-silent protagonist or *gasp* even worse, a FEMALE PROTAGONIST!
All kidding aside I'm just sitting here waiting impatiently for (hopefully) my copy arriving sometime today.

IRL your eves see books at thousands of FPS.
It's a turn based RPG, but it also has a huge 3D world to explore and camera controls. 60fps (or more) will be a big difference in smoothness overall compared to the PS4 versions.
If the PC port is decent it will be far and away better than the Pro version.
It's very unlikely TBH. There are more chance to get 8 since there's already a mobile (and 3ds) port.
I don't know. It may be a big difference for some people, but I'm perfectly fine with playing a 3D turn-based RPG at 30fps.
Plus 10. wow you edited it :/
I think the designer considered about the gender balance in 11. The character design of protagonist has some feminine elements (especially the hair). And quite some NPCs say the hero looks like a girl.
Didn't know about 3 and 4!
9 and 10 dont really count now do they? I should've specified I was talking only about the single player mainline games (1-8, 11 basically).
Still hoping they'll one day fully commit to a female protagonist and not have her being a player choice.
9 is single player too you know. I mean it has a multiplayer option but it's still mainly single-player
Erdrick is the English name of the legendary hero the Dragon Quest 1 protagonist is descended from / the protagonist of DQIII. It's a famous enough detail to be referenced in Zelda 2 and the original Final Fantasy:
EDIT: Blah, major brain fart.

Whats the deal with some games getting the DQ logo with the sword as the "T" and some don't get the sword? They're really inconsistent even with VIII on PS2 vs VIII on 3DS!Guys, I think I have a problem...
All the DS games are NIB. :D
I fucking love this series. It's amazing how much support the series got on the original DS.
Regarding the stories. They aren't meant to be War and Peace and that's exactly what I love about them. They're so charming and absolutely lovely. These games are a comfortable pillow. A full body pillow I just want to cuddle.
This looks interesting but I don't know if I should get it. I tried playing the 3DS DQ games and always stopped after a couple of hours. The battle systems were so basic and simple that I got no enjoyment out of the games. Is this game still like that?
I remember that FF1 reference, but Zelda 2? News to me!Erdrick is the English name of the Dragon Quest 1 protagonist. It's a famous enough detail to be referenced in Zelda 2 and the original Final Fantasy:
