Yes

@Naztalgic_Memories is the hardest difficulty worth playing? I already have max archetypes, i am going into new game plus with over 400k mag and 9 million gold. What does it actually do.

@@Biggles_mets If you want to say you beat it on Regicide. It's purely for a challenge. The bosses do more damage and take less damage. You get less experience from them but they drop items more often

@Naztalgic_Memories ok, so it sounds like it's not really worth it

@@Biggles_mets Glad the information helped make the decision easier for you. Good luck with your New Game+ 🙏

Yes, they crit. So does roundhouse kick

@mageslime Lol wow, they really did make this game easy then for vets didn't they? 😅 Is there anything that great about Sword Dance compared to Multifist? I mean I know Sword Dance is supposed to be slightly more powerful, but I'm not sure I see how it's worth going thru the Warrior class for it when Martial Artists already get Multifist. Or am I missing something?

@@skins4thewin I don't see it how it's much better. Critical claim also seems great. Metal slash is after multi slash and it's mostly worse. I wouldn't say the game isn't super easy. Monsters get a lot of extra attacks, and thwack seems to work quite often. Some bosses were a huge pain as well. I wasn't able to fizzle or sleep Baramos. Multiple bosses threw someone out of my party. I'm not sure how effective a solo play through would be because the hero isn't that great compared to other options.

@mageslime All of those things you mentioned are pretty normal, even for previous versions. Those were pretty much the biggest annoyances in the previous iterations, aka instant death attacks & being kicked back to the Tavern. Not being able to Fizzle or Sleep Baramos might be new though. I do know that it's always been very difficult to get Fizzle to land, even in previous versions. I think Sleeo was a bit easier to land but still difficult.

They can which is what makes it stronger than Monster Pile-on. It can but since all Vocations besides the Martial Artist only has a 1/64 chance to Critically hit; not including their Luck Stat, you'll hardly see them

My channel focuses on min-maxing so the slightly more damage from Sword Dance makes it better. If you don't want it then Multifist will suffice

Mist me? This guide was meant for people playing the game for the first time. I used a suboptimal team composition like this since I was learning the game mechanics and I cleared everything on Draconian Difficulty including post game content. This is the optimal version I would use from the start if I would do it all over again. Warrior is used to make the early game up to Alltrades Abbey easier. Monster Wrangler doesn't get good until Midgame.

Tactics

Yes. Adjust your Agility to be +1 the main DPS

Yes. Whatever the DPS's Agility is, make everyone else one higher

Really? It's in the pinned comment my dude

Ah I see it now >.> sorry

I did a few days after I learned where to go. I couldn't find it with the description Xenlon gave to put in this video.

I'll see what I can do when I'm done making the videos in my pipeline

@ no pressure

Thank you for sharing Daniel!

To make THAT faster enter the cave area SW of the Slime island the ship will pretty much appear nearest that island if you warp BACK to that Cave if you warp to Galen's house I still had to WALK closer to the castle town just to BOARD the boat itself that takes LONGER.

@veghesther3204 if you zoom to Galen's House, the ship is literally 3 steps away directly north of his home. Just gotta zoom there.

Not for me I zoomed to that house and still had the Ship itself parked closer to Tantagel Castle instead by entering that cave dungeon I could easily walk to the ship and take less then 10 seconds to reach that island.

Thank you Freight!

That must be some really bad RNG Xyro. Around 620 I remember going first most of the time and using Critical Claim to kill one Liquid Slime minimum with the Meteorite Bracer

@@Naztalgic_MemoriesCritical claim definitely kills in one hit for me. I was wondering about the agility stat. Mine is at 488 with the bracer right now. Maybe I just need to get it to 600. Thank you for the video btw.

You can start with Wit then change to Genius later.

You can still get Vamp on a Male Hero in a scene w the Pirate leader late in the game, but of course that will take a while.

@@skins4thewin Right and I'm sure by then most people would have gain a good chunk of levels ruining the stat gains they wanted

I'm glad you liked the video Guy! Warrior would probably be better since it gets some Equipment only it can use.

The games over a month old and no one has reported any findings to confirm this speculation.

from a book that's a recurring reward from a boss (xenlon)

By using this guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWnadqufaNCcn80 It's positive in every parameter so you can never go wrong with it. It's not the best Personality for each Vocation however

@@barpoe That's one way to get it but that's way later in the game. There's earlier methods.

Maybe? I didn't test this so I'm not sure. I believe so. I opened every chest and stole from every enemy and didn't discover any Elemental Boost besides the Weapons Yes

I'm glad you enjoy the commentary Drust and thank you for watching 💗

That is true Caroline. We only found out thanks to dataminers

Did you check the pinned comment? My data says it's 47-50 so get a Level Up

Final Story Dungeon

@@Naztalgic_Memories ah i see, im looking for it for dragon trials, i guess i can't get it now

@@efemji The Final Story Dungeon is two parts. You get it in the first part so you can use it for Dragon Trials

@@Naztalgic_Memories you can come back to gran trad after the first dungeon??

@@Naztalgic_Memories actually nevermind, i just beat the dragon, i might need it for elegy though

I'm glad you found one that did Weeb! Enjoy your playthrough 👍

According to the pinned comments you need to be Level 44 minimum to learn it Michael

@Naztalgic_Memories thanks, tring to learn every ability before turning into a martial artist then back to warrior

@@michaelclifton9498 You're welcome and I understand Michael!

Thank you for your engagement!

You can't farm Strength Incense. That's okay because Royal Sword scales with the highest stat of Strength or Magic so you'll be fine!

Glad the guide was useful Weir!

That was my intention with the video! Glad you're using it as intended Mohamed! Best of luck in your journey 🙏

I'm glad you kept an open mind even with the amount of experience you have Mohamed! That's a great mindset to have in life! Thank you for watching and I'm glad you learned some tips through the video 👍

Thank you for your engagement!

Sounds like two good reasons to be happy Dorsey! Glad the guide was useful and thank you for using my video 💗

Sounds like you need to level up

What level are you?

@@mildsriracha9630 That's what I was thinking Mild

Broken? No but it's good. Strength users are still top for damage dealing. Not entirely true. All healing has a base amount it Heals for so anyone can heal. Now when it comes to Magical damage that is heavily affected by Wisdom as it doesn't have a flat damage output.

@Naztalgic_Memories I actually looked into it and it's actually only a small range of damage that ends up varying based on the Wisdom stat, so it's not too bad. The damage can end up just being a bit lower than average for low Wisdom characters, or a bit higher for high Wisdom. Still a nice change to make high Wisdom characters be able to do a bit more damage with Magic.

@@skins4thewin Really? That's interesting they did that. Thank you for sharing your findings Skin 👍

You're absolutely right Thomas. You don't need to stun them to farm. If you do have a Thief Lineage on the protagonist then you have a high chance to steal an additional Incense before getting into combat essentially doubling the pace of your Incense farming. This is why I do it because who wants to spend two hours farming when you can cut that down to one?

Of course it doesn't matter Eba. This video is for people who have fun min-maxing. I stated that at the start of the video.

@Naztalgic_Memories I love min-maxing. Kinda bums me out that it doesn't change much

@@eba8938 That is true and while it may not be needed now I rather have this file prepared for the DLC to come! I'm so excited for more content!

@@Naztalgic_Memories Yes, I also hope we get more content. Endgame/postgame is lacking. The ending did leave it open to many more things.

@@eba8938 It really did! I'm hoping they make this another main staple like how Shin Megami Tensei and Persona are their own series.

Nothing bad if that's what you're concerned with World. Both are joke replies!

I can only imagine how broken that must have been back then Ahmed!

and yet even with 255 speed you stil could NOT outrun the Metal/Liquid metal slimes they would still run away before Be Dragon takes the 2 full turns TO kill them with it but in those versions its gained 4 levels earlier at lv 34 to level 35 in this remake Lv 38. Theirs a 2nd one of those double AGL boosting acccessories but it requires to win 1 of the 2 Rank 10 or 11 arena battles for it but still only do so on Dracky Mode else I won't even LAST 1 turn with the best POST game monsters chose for those battles just for the 1st set of battles.

@@veghesther3204 That's good to know Veg! I love the Meteorite Bracers!

You're playing too? What team composition did you end up going with Lother?

@@Naztalgic_Memories I'm following Optinoob: Thief, Merchant, Monster Wrangler

I'm not sure I understand the question. If you're wondering what Seed Allocation, I have it time stamped for you.

​@@Naztalgic_Memoriesyou put 1 item in tifa to chamge personality to vamp.....what is the item?

@@davidalagarda The Garter. I show how to get it during the easy method

​@@Naztalgic_Memoriesyes but dont change to vamp in my party....but its okey dont worry, thanks!

@@davidalagarda Did you equip it in your Main Accessory Slot?

I'm glad you found it helpful Mike! I thought so too but if I was looking for this information, I wouldn't want to watch a video everytime. That's why I have it pinned in the comments!

Because most people care about the Abilities and Skills for Vocations that can change. The Hero is always with you so it didn't feel that important to include. You learn all their skills by Level 45

@Naztalgic_Memories I think it's safe to assume most ppl want to know about ALL the classes, including Hero. I'm not sure what changing classes has to do with it. The Hero is every bit as important as the other classes. This is still the best list I've seen anyone make, so Bravo on that! It's just missing the Hero info is all.

@@skins4thewin I see. I'll make sure to add that in future videos. Thank you for your feedback Skins!

Yes Luck does affect Critical Hit Chance.

@@Naztalgic_Memories I thought so. I read somewhere that luck only affects items gained after battle. Still, this build may be better, due to not relying on lucky hits time after time.

@@SaiyanGamer95 Not sure where you read that but that information is wrong.

Yes and those can't be learned so I didn't mention them

According to data it's 1/255 so it's not something that'll happen often unless you have a lot of patience. Gold was useless to me. I played on Draconian Difficulty and I only bought like six items. The game gives you one of each item as long as you explore.

@Naztalgic_Memories OH wow really? Where did you get all of your equipment then? Were you not regularly upgrading your characters gear? Usually in these games you want to outfit all your characters w the best equipment you can as you reach each new town, that's sort of always been the gameplay loop of DQ games, but if equipment can be found a lot more now then that is VERY interesting! Or perhaps the game is just much easier now so it's no longer required? I've never played a DQ game where Gold wasn't vastly important, so this should be very interesting! As for the 1/255 thing, it doesn't take long at all to spam the ability, so you will end up triggering it in no time. Yes, it does take a bit of patience but the reward is just insane. Seriously tho, you are most definitely the first person I've ever heard say that Gold wasn't important in a DQ game. I cannot imagine it... It's an absolute imperative resource in previous installments!

@@skins4thewin The game has new things on the world map that sparkle. They give decent equipment. On top of this there are also areas you can enter on the world map that don't have a landmark after doing so. These have exclusive items which are usually better than anything a shop sells! I'm not sure considering this is my first time ever playing a Dragon Quest game. I did play on the hardest difficulty and I only recall three bosses that gave me a little work. By that I mean I had to basically use every point of MP to get my win. I walked away with nothing left so perhaps if I had bought the best equipment in the shops this wouldn't have happened? Besides that I beat every boss on my first try which I have in a video on the channel. Interesting. Perhaps other veterans can comment on how good the free stuff they gave may have obsolete the need to grind gold. I'm not sure how the Dig mechanic works. You only get five usage before it doesn't get anything. I don't think you can spam it but maybe you know something I don't. I have my whole playthrough on the channel in the Live tab. You can check for yourself.

@Naztalgic_Memories Oh!! That does sound pretty good actually. If that's true about finding good equipment in the wild then that would definitely reduce the gold you need for sure. I haven't started this game quite yet so I can't comment, but once I do I'll be able to get a better idea of how it works. In the Remakes for SFC & GBC, it was the Pachisi tracks that had the truly good stuff! But even then you needed lots of Gold, cus the best stuff was found at the secret shops within each Pachisi track. In previous titles you did not find free equipment very often at all, you had to buy the vast majority of it. Sounds like that has changed now! Nice to hear it.

@Naztalgic_Memories As for Dig, you are right about the 5 uses. It's been a while so I forgot lol. However, you can circumvent this by simply doing your digging right by the entrance to an area. Exit after 5 digs, dig 5 more times, then enter the new area, dig 5 more times, leave, etc etc til you hit paydirt. It just limits you to 5 digs per area, so if you leave the area you're in it will reset. In previous installments you could also find items with it that were taken from the drops of the enemies in said area. Thus this could also be a way to get multiples of rare monster drops!! Not sure if it still does that or not, but man that'd be cool if it did!

Maybe? I used both in the premade PALS they give but I did drop Mage before Priest cause the nature of the game

I may have misinterpret that. I only was cursed twice so I didn't use this ability.

@Naztalgic_Memories All good, it happens!

@@skins4thewin Thank you for understanding Skins 👍

Yeah Warrior is very good. Was it bad in the old versions?

@Naztalgic_Memories Yeah, Warrior was most definitely the worst class in previous versions. Strong and with good equipment choices but VERY slow, expensive to outfit & didn't earn any MP at all. It's Defense would often lag behind much faster, more useful classes due to the very low Agility, despite having better equipment. In the old games Defense was based on the Agility stat. Thus classes like Thief were ultimately much, much better. Thief was pretty broken in the SFC and GBC versions. They also had the highest MP growth of any class in the game which is just crazy, making them easily the best class to transition a Mage, Priest or even Sage into. The Thief's stats & equipment choices were overall better than the Sage, and they didn't have the crazy EXP level requirements. So ya, you can see how utterly broken they were lol. As for Offense, any class that can equip Whips or Boomerangs have a HUGE advantage, and I hear they're even better in this version lol. In previous games Thieves could equip the biggest variety of these weapons. For those who can equip them, it makes little sense to ever have anything else equipped in their weapon slots, even if the power is a lot less. That is unless you're fighting a single target boss of course. Merchant has always been rather meh as well, but sounds like even it is useful now! All the newly added abilities have likely balanced things more.

@@skins4thewin Ahhh I see. Kinda weird the devs released something so broken haha Yeah I learned that soon in my playthrough and I abused it I see. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the older versions Skins 👍

@Naztalgic_Memories Lol well lots of games or RPG's have broken abilities & classes that are way better than other options. It's not that uncommon really. But for those who like to have the best of the best, Thieves were definitely it. Sounds like things may have been changed up though with the all the new abilities added to most classes. Also sounds like Stats work differently in this game... I really need to look into that. THAT would be a great video to make by the way! Thieves are not present in the OG NES version tho, only the Remakes that came after. The NES version was the most balanced (and easily the toughest). They added a LOT of things that made the game significantly easier in the Remakes.

@Naztalgic_Memories SO I looked into it a bit & Stats do indeed work differently now. Defense used to be based off of your Agility stat, so Classes with super high Agility like the Thief got HUGE Defensive boosts! Not so anymore... Now the Resilience stat determines it. Before the Resilience stat only affected your HP growth. This certainly changes the mechanics of this version of the game DRASTICALLY! This SHOULD mean that Warriors will be much better now & Thieves no longer brokenly good like they were before. Am very anxious to try this game out & see how everything has changed! I played the previous versions of this game religiously, so the change will be interesting. I'll have to change all my previous strats as far as class changing goes! On another note, I bet the Vamp/Sexy personality will no longer be considered the best, considering the Agility stat doesn't matter near as much anymore. For Warriors specifically I bet other Personalities will be better. For Magic classes tho I bet Vamp is still the best.

Most of them

Thank God for content creators like this one then eh? The Rpgsite & Game8 sites also have a lot of good info on the game already. Great resources even this early on!

I tried using a JP site on day three of my playthrough because I really wanted to know when I learn what so I can Vocation swap. I got a pop up that said I had a virus and I left so fast. I am not tech savvy so I didn't want to risk getting a virus on my pc. Do you have any recommendations that are safe?
