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

Depends, his 'themed exclusive weapon' is a sword and shield, his strongest one handed is axe, and there are times when you really need to use greatsword with him.
No but always save your peps for Hallelujah + Electro. It helped me not grind in the end since you need to level them to 99 each
Ha! The "continue from your last save" option surely is a bit misleading, then.
(Super late) thanks!
No, you're good! I wanna complete this thoroughly, so your percentage is right on the money for me.
Oof. Spent the day cleaning up trophies. Got to max level, cows, casino, puff puff, crossbow challenge, and most tirringly, the fashion one(that took a long while). It was long, but I love getting the best gear for my team especially if I can do it before the end. Can't wait to straight up destroy the final dungeon tomorrow. Excellent game.
I think Opa-Pa's answer got the spirit. The game is vague you don't need to think too much, especially those involved in time-travel.
However there are something you can figure out easily, like whether yggdrasil is the dragon lord in DQ1 (the answer is no, see here #9104).
To explain Erdwin was alive but Calasmos still happened ----- you can use history converging theory to explain, see #8897 . For example, Erdwin was alive because of your effort, however Calasmos revived through another route so the story of DQ11 still exist; the only difference was how Erdwin died. But again, you don't need to think too much about this.
Regarding the sword that DQ1 hero inherited, actually it could be anything; in NES DQ3 end, the equipments on your hero were what would show in the ending scripts.
I notice that in EN ver. they changed a lot of text. In JP ending, it revealed that Roto, this very title(yes, it's a title, not an actual name in DQ3) ,was originated from DQ11.

662 in total, 700 is that of 3DS version.
Available sidequest is also a good indicator. You have 60 side quests in total, they will be unlocked according to your progress.
Recipe are in chests, shelf (you mentioned), as rewards of some sidequest, prizes from casino. A town NPC will give you a recipe as well, but only one in this game.
Those in the chests are generally easy to be missed. Some of them are in some hidden places.

Is new game+ common for Dragon Quest games? Is it a possible addition to Dragon Quest XI in the future?
So, brehs...any tips on where to look for equipment recipes? I've been looking for all bookshelves around but I feel like I am missing a lot of options...
Himemomoko
I read both OG Steins;Gate and 0 some months ago so thankfully I can use worldline convergence theory to explain most discrepancies in the story, haha.
Plenty of them are from treasure chests and Quest rewards too. Some are in the casinos as well.
To my knowledge these cows are new, no reference from previous titles. Coooool?
No. However massive post-game content is common since an SNES title.
I've answered your question on#10150, besides, you might find this IGN guide useful(with screenshots) >> https://ca.ign.com/wikis/dragon-quest-xi/Recipe_Books
Only those in the front are effective. You can easily sense this mechanism by equipping Erik with pirate's pendant. Whether he is in front or not will make a big difference.
I think we should give up the idea of the game receiving any kind of post-launch support. For DQ we're only getting what was already done for the japanese audience (plus additional tweaks, sans passwords and freebies), and anything new would likely be just stuff added to the Switch version, and even then I doubt whatever that content is will be available in other platforms.

Yeah I pretty much ended up abandoning using Illusion and Sleep (since the guest kept fucking that up without fail), and just focused on using Sap, occasional Decelerate, and respec'd Erik entirely to use his Poison skills. Ran into a Metal Slime on the way there and got Serena to learn Midheal (it's a bit help, but merchants at this point start selling Strong Medicine and that's cheap), which was very valuable in the fight.
I ended up beating him with everyone still in decent condition, but I still think that the RNG in that fight is kinda crazy on Hard (the boss can pretty much annihilate Veronica before you have the chance to act if he really wants to), and I'm still mad salty about how I couldn't do jack shit about the AI Guest partner and had to change around my entire strategy because of it.
They are offering the stuff in the Switch/XB1 World of Final Fantasy port as dlc for PS4 I think. So some hope.
You can find them in treasure chests too. Petty soon you will get a new key to search all the red doors, you will find useful recipes in there. At this time you should be able to get great staff and greatswords right now, and daggers for Erik with some decent armor, clothes ect..
ah makes sense about the dragon lord, it's decades since I played DQ1. Regarding the timeline so it's basically 'variable and constant' time nodes trope. It makes sense, it's kinda shitty that MC left his friends in the OG timeline and also explains why they kept saying they're always having a deja vu. I miss the game already, hoping that DQ12 won't be too long.
Ok, I'm about 6 or so hours in and have to know, what are all the little ghosts everywhere? Is that something I'll find out later?
i saw them in Dragon Quest Heroes II for the first time i think.
Greatswords with Cutting Edge / Unbridled Blade and lots of Str/Atk up passives.
Every RPG needs a speed up button. Every one.
That said, still having a lot of fun. Being my first DQ game I feel like they're doing a bunch of things based on tradition? Like all the functions the churches serve.

In front, you mean one of four main active party or in front mean the very leftmost position on the active party?
While I am at it, how can we check Accolades that we haven't accomplished yet?
What equipments should I buy on casino to get the trophie? lol
Also, reached level 99 with all of the characters but for some of them I couldn't get enough points to pick all the abilities. Is that normal?

The cows tell you about weather because it changes some monster spawns.
If you go greatsword with him he can absolutely be the strongest physical attacker in the game. Dual sword offers good dps with screen-clearing utility, very useful in many situations. Sword and shield...... hmmm well I don't personally use it, since I use him as a good/great physical attacker that can also heal.
The swimsuits? But that wasn't a blue so I thought you can get them somewhere else... apparently not? Weird......
That whip is a requirement for the strongest whip in the game tho.
ah, sorry my words were confusing. I meant active party.
No way to check unaccomplished accolades in-game though. You need a guide.(like that spreadsheet)
Only the swimsuit and some recipes(costumes related) in casino are required for trophies.
Normal. It is intended.
What? That's stupid as hell. How can a completionist knows which to pursue then? That's a strange decision.
How's the harder enemies hard mode? Thinking of restarting and giving it a go since I'm only like 5 hours in and the game has been really easy. But then I see many saying it's extremely hard. So would you say that the hard mode needs lots of grinding or can you get by with just some grinding and good use of strategy?
Really? I thought dual weilding Erik was the best attacker in the game? Give him 2 of those earring knives, divide and he can hit an enemy 12 times in one move. It usually garuntees I kill a metal enemy if it doesn't run after the first turn.
Earlier in the thread it was suggested to have greatsword till you have everyone back again, then switch to axe, I think? With Unbridled Blade being his best GS skill.
I also stopped yesterday right after getting him as a proper party member, though, so I haven't put points anywhere yes.

Erik can be the highest physical attacker yes, but he requires setup: First he must use divide, for example, and divide disappears on every other turn, etc etc, requiring constant upkeep. The Hero, and Jade, is much more consistent in terms of delivering constant damage.
I actually haven't even seen his divide/falcon slash/oomphle outdamage Hero's unbridled's Oomphle, although yes if some of the hits deal critical he can sometimes outdamage the hero. But the Hero (and Jade) brings so much to the table during boss/hard battles, IMO, especially during the ones where you are timed.

haha, this game was designed for everyone, not specifically for completionist. Without those tremendous accolades' lists, people might feel much more accessible and less pressure. (OK just my guess :P)
In terms of enemies' status, HP and MP are increased by 50% while str, def and agi increased by 30%. Some bosses will have extra move in hard mode.
Regarding the grinding, you can barely beat bosses at low level or you can beat them at proper level with some tension. You can always grind to cap level (if you turn on the exp reduction) and beat them without much strategy. There are videos on youtube that beat every boss in hard mode(6 modifers) at capped level. I can see the uploader is completely new to this game yet beat every boss without relying on specific strategy(his skill usage is not optimized. his damage dealing is not maximized either.) or referring to equipment guide (his weapons are not optimal nearly all the time). That means the game is very flexible, how much RNG/difficulty you feel is really depending on your playing style.

This Crossbow challenges are so tedious -______________________________________________________-
Once this is done, all that's left is level 99 trophies and the final final boss trophy... I intend to make the latter my last one and platinum trophy---the screenshot during the trophy popping out isn't blocked, right? Lol.

Looool I just remember something now.
Even though I've beaten quite a huge amount of post-game content and min-maxing everyone before beating the final boss, I've never actually used any of the seeds. I keep thinking "I'll save them for later" and yet I completely forgot to use them.
Also, since the spoiler is kinda dead already, I'm cross-posting this here.

Anyone have the gif version of this puff puff?
I think it's time to put an end to that DQVIII imagery for what puff puff really is.
