Yeah, I want it more for the novelty factor. But I'll probably use it occasionally if I don't find it too cumbersome.

How do you go to the 2D worlds in DQXIS after having done the first one? I got a few more unlocked but I don't get how you come back to them.
Strange it doesn't show up when entering your name, nor in the options afterwards like 2D/3D, brightness etc...
I'm about 9 hours in so far and loving it. I was getting a bit frustrated with the forge though. I could never find enough materials to actually do much with it so I was struggling for gear upgrades.
Then I notice the buy materials button right in front of my face 🤦
I need to level up my focus a bit but even crafting fails for the newer stuff is better than my enhanced older stuff anyway. Amazing game to be playing on my Switch.

How does one trigger the crossbow quest? I got the crossbow and I talked to Bo but he just talks about his love of crossbows. I triggered the quest on PC but I can't recall how I did it. Any help is appreciated.
it also resets all chests in the world makes farming mini medals and seeds very easy.
No, but you can do it at save statues after a while. I'm not sure when the option unlocked since I don't save very often.
It's specifically once you try to access the skill menu after
Veronica and Serena join. So yeah, end of Hotto
I'm also curious about this: I found the crossbow quests really tedious, but the rewards were a nice extra.
Probably because you wouldn't be able to do it in 2D mode and they need to make the item distribution between the two modes roughly similar. The crossbow quest wasn't in the 3DS version at all.
The Tockington rewards should make up for it.
Ooh.. is there a specifically great time to abuse that lol? I would love to rack up min-medals early on.
Yeah, this game is absolutely delightful in 3D. I'm going to use 2D mode as a second play through mode.
right after you get the magic key as you can just keep reopening the doors by flipping back and forth between 2d and 3d
So is there any trick or anything to Slime Quest?
I just set it to auto bet and made like 500 coins in like 5 minutes or so.

I think its some kind of RNG thats skewed by the character order. At least thats what i heard.
What do you mean by changing the Overworld music? What's the recommended setting for a Dragon Quest first-timer?
It lets you switch from XI's to VIII's overworld theme.
XI's feels like a triumphant march, VIII's is very sweeping and serene. Many people seem to dislike XI's, but it's really up to you.
VIII's is great for sure - I'm using it now - but XI's heroic anthem fits the vibe of XI's story more, IMO.
Is there a way to quickly load a game on the switch version? Trying to get maximum seed attributes but closing the game and restarting each time takes a while.
I like to fight around and I got to maybe level 8 or 9, heading to retrieve the thing Erik lost and I feel so OP, steamrolling everyone, and starting to worry after 6 hours of playtime that I messed up not enabling strong monsters but I didn't wanna cause Tim said to just play it normal... is there a spike in difficulty at any point that is gonna result in enemies actually giving me a run for my money?

I agree with you here. I LOVE VIII's overworld theme, but it really doesn't fit XI that well. I'm only switching between overoworld themes every now and then cause I already spent 90+ hours with the PS4 version and want to spice things up a bit.
you mean doing the 2d-3d trick of getting seeds? you dont need to close the game down for that (if thats what you're doing)
Without it enabled there is a boss here and there in the first arc that is tough but a general increase in difficulty doesn't happen until the 2nd arc.
For the most part though from the beginning of the game until the first dungeon you really don't need to think about fighting monsters or equipment at all. At worst though you just have a bit of a head start.
Nah, I mean like seeds have ranges (ie 1-3), so I want the 3. If I get 1/2, I close the entire game, load and try again, which takes a while. So I was wondering if there was any soft reset option or the like.
That's actually later than when I hit Gondolia and I'm not really rushing through the game
Is most of the new content added on to the end of the game? I got fairly far into Act 2 on PS4. Just wondering if there's anything new for people going through the beginning and midpoint of the game again.
Go to Misc, and select return to title screen. Enjoy :p
Aside from 2D mode, a new set of quests was added just before Gallopolis and
new side stories starring the party members are before Act 2 starts.
No, he's talking about save-scumming to maximize the number of points each seed gives.
Although perhaps using the 2d/3d trick to simply get more seeds is probably faster than save scumming.
I played the demo, loved it. Will purchase the full Switch game. But my question is should I go physical or digital? I thought I remember reading there is additional slow down with the physical version, with how the Switch stores the memory for the physical. Where with the digital you don't run into that.
But I may be thinking of a different game.

It's all integrated pretty nicely. Tickington and the old Dragon Quest world visits open up fairly early on, and
four of the solo stories are set at the beginning of Act 2, each is about an hour long.
