#DragonQuestIII

[@michaelreifsnider3182]

This was my favorite game as a kid. I saved up all summer to buy this game when I was young. I had saved up previously all summer mowing my grandfathers lawn to buy Dragon Warrior II and had loved the first one. I sent in the trick to Nintendo Power in classified Information section about the Soldiers armor trick in the very beginning when you sell it off for extra money. It came out in the issue with Mickey Mouse on the cover and I was beside myself as a kid when I seen it printed. Favorite NES game and this is a great video. It's awesome seeing how much love you gave the first three games in the series. Love the videos.

[@rangoononline]

That's lit about you being in Nintendo Power bro

What do you do to stop your mp from not leveling up right? When I hit level 23 in my characters, at level ups, suddenly 2 levels in a row my wizards are NOT getting mp each level up. And I hoped to ask how to avoid this, or if there's some trick to make it so your mp doesn't stop going up? I'd like feedback on this because if I keep leveling up blindly if I don't get it fixed it would suck and mess up future stats. Is there an MP cap at some point to not go over some number?

[@chasonlapointe]

Allllll Right, the rest of my workday entertainment is covered! Time to relive this masterpiece.

[@geovaughan8261]

I remember my grandmother playing this game when I was a kid, and I saw my name on the screen. When I asked her why the wizard had my name, she told me she made him that way. I was blown away. I was in a video game, casting spells and fighting monsters, not as a renamed character but as someone uniquely made. Ever since then, RPGs were my favorite games.

Love this. I have great memories of playing Tetris and Dr. Mario with my grandma.

I wish representation stayed that simple but people want so much more these days. Thanks for the story by the way; helps me see why people have nice memories of this though I feel it’s primitive compared to ff3 and ff5 pixel remasters.

4th one is way better once you know how to exploit torneko’s hustle. (Buy all steel broadswords or convert all his lost money to casino tokens, and of course sell his statue as it idles if you don’t). More characters and easier to get expensive stuff, and metal king slime is intuitively by the final dungeon. Do recommend buying heavy armor last, and for dq3 starting with a thief, merchant and cleric to class change into a sage, martial artist (merchant’s dig for more money with high luck, I got 10k once by low chance) and soldier/fighter (who can afford stuff now, mage to this once you learn oomph helps too). Gadabout is a luck exploit too (martial artist claws taper off but you can go for speed/criticals), though they’re too weak and slow to really bother being a sage (who has the slowest level ups and combine the mage and cleric spells, which is kinda redundant if you use one or the other, let alone dq3 and dq4 force that sage’s stone to multiheal all day vs oppressive final boss, which 4 has 7 forms and forces insulatle to reduce those breath attacks. Vid seems to be more about general progression though. 1:55 sexy/vamp personality for females only has the best stat growth (similar to final fantasy tactics war of the lions’ tynar rouge lipstick which is the most overpowered accessory in the game) when leveling. It is funny how these old games trick you about replay value when they mean research for optimal builds (late game thief and merchant are too weak and you already got money/good items dropped). I feel snes version of 3 is definitive as switch lacks treasures ‘n trapdoors.

We had an entire 200 page spiral notebook full of notes, maps and clues by the time we were done. Some SERIOUS work to beat this game as a couple 12-13 year old kids. It’s still one of my favorite achievements in gaming. Thanks for these videos! I’m flooded with memories from way back when.

Wizards get Upper and Increase, their defense isn't why they get killed often, it's their hit points, the absence of Parry-Fight since you're doing that, and enemies that ignore formation that will completely catch you off guard.

[@xenxander]

might be interseting to put a higher HP character in last place so wizard can take advantage of parry/attack.

[@valleykid6577]

You just earned a sub, I realized that I've watched several of your (these) videos over the last few days, I've been off of work due to mental health reasons, which is less important than the fact that these, in some small part, have been helping me get through the days. It's refreshing to see games I've played explained in ways that, maybe I already understood, or explaining the parts I didn't. To laugh some aspects of the challenges that would be faced, such as in FF1, because I know them well, and just see feats accomplished in ways I didn't. So for what it's worth, I'm glad KZbin decided too put your videos into my feed. Thank you! =)

I also found this channel while off work from a similar issue! I felt so much faith restored for KZbin when I discovered UCBVG 😊

[@jasonmiller3543]

So glad to see this one! It was my favorite video game growing up. Could never find it to buy so I rented it weekend after weekend. I was so disheartened to find that someone rented the game and removed my save file after renting it nearly every weekend throughout the summer.

I was one of those who bought the game in the early 90s. Dragon Warrior 1 introduced me to rpgs. Oddly, I never have beaten this game, but it is fun to play. I do like using a pilgrim and goof-off at the beginning so I can have 2 sages late game. I've never considered the merchant before, so it's neat to see how they could be used outside of when it's required to have one.

I think I finally went back and beat it about ten years after I started. All those four-letter-named heroes were like old friends by then.

Fun Fact: When you visit the castle of Isis at night, the leftmost cat near the entryway will actually tell you that it is the archfiend's familiar. One of the sleeping guards will also make a comment about a monster cat in the palace. I don't think you can fight it though. It's just a fun easter egg.

[@DoinThatRag]

It's funny... I received Dragon Warrior 3 & 4 at the same time for Christmas one year. I started playing both basically, but 4 really, really hooked me. And 3 started to feel a lot more grindy at the time. After beating 4, it took me a while to get through 3. I'm thinking having these both in my possession at once may have skewed my perception a little. I love them all, and still have 1-4 in boxes w/manuals and maps (along with Crystalis). I just never wanted to let them go, and I haven't. 4 is still my all-time favorite, I've played through it about a dozen times through the years. Looking forward to the inevitable video for 4 now as well.

I’m excited to be “Like 334”. I’ve never played this as we typically stayed away from Dragon Warrior as game renters in the 80’s. Too much time and not enough money to complete. As a result, kids in my neighborhood missed out on these classics, but all of us now love to play these games.

[@brianvigue3907]

I'm playing this right now-- more or less. It's a mash-up of the four 8-bit NES games. Imagine DW4's Rosa being the kidnapped elfin princess and her mother crying the Dream Ruby... and Orochi working for Hargon. I had actually forgotten the storylines in the original. Thanks for reviewing this one today!

[@Brayniac]

Where can this be found? It sounds interesting.

[@MrVariant]

Dragon quest 4 is kinda a mashup of the first 3 games. Choose hero’s gender, play a boring sole Ragnar McRyan chapter 1 and have 3 playable characters with Alena chapter 2, which Alena and Ragnar don’t have magic. Torneko is far superior than the dq3 merchant (flip armors and use your wife’s store for profits then store as casino tokens or steel broadswords to sell for less as you can make infinite money, which helps the bs equipment prices in the series), which is just throwaway for a town or get money with digging by high luck. Congrats on finding a nice mashup fan game or hack though.

[@brianvigue3907]

@@Brayniac I built it from the ground up based on the idea of making the archfiends more involved rather than sitting in their castles and waiting to be defeated. Thus, all those mini-quests that exist just to take you from point A to point B-- which practically defines DW3-- are used to move the archfiends' story along too. Eventually Baramos, Hargon, and the Dragonlord all start one-upping each other. I also combined the chapter system of DW4 with a hiring system similar to DW3. All the classic assets are used, so I made a hobby out of it. Aside from streaming a play-through myself-- bleh-- I haven't really thought about what kind of avenues exist for a homage like this.

@Ozymandias was right 4 was nearly impossible to find when it was released. We had one video store that had one copy. The first person who checked it out "moved to a different town" and never brought it back. The next time I saw a copy was 20 years later in a used game store for $150 and that was a reasonable price compared to what it was going for online. Dragon Warrior 4 was closer to the end of the NES life cycle but still. When it was out you couldn't find a copy in most stores.

@@elishariedlinger559 the games have had remakes over the years on more modern hardwaren and for remakes they are very faithful with some extra additional content, some of which maybe easier to get heck the 6 games are on the app store. since 8 they have changed the title to Quest as that was the name for JP but had to be warrior in the west due to some copyright issue, few character names were changed like mara and nara becoming meena and maya with the late Akira Toriyama's art much more visible in it's presentation

@@nightwish1453 True. But I still own the originals and still like playing them. So far I think I prefer the originals to any remakes.

@@elishariedlinger559 yeah that's fine but i will say unlike the hits and misses on modern remakes stuff the dq ones are actually pretty good, some of the games are basically the only version available in the west is the remakes such as 5 and 5 and if your European 1-4 and 7

Wait, so not only do we NOT get a car, we're forced to travel the world ON FOOT to stomp a mudhole in a guy very few people even know?? And no one's manning up to give us a ride?? Man, this birthday SUCKS. This video, however, is excellent. I don't know why, but my mind instantly gravitated to THIS game when you said the biggest episode yet, and I'm glad I was right. This was... well, quite the experience for me. I think this is the first NES game I ever actively threw across a room because i got so angry (I evolved into ACTUALLY caring for my games since then, granted). Also, while DW4 will always be my favorite NES game (AND favorite game in the entire series), this is a very close second. The size of this adventure was RIDICULOUS for its day.

OMG I have been waiting for this, my favorite game of all time! Thank you so much!

I remember buying this game from Blockbuster Video back in the day when they were paring down their classic NES stock to bring in more SNES stuff....one of the luckiest finds I ever had. Such a great game.

Only got to play the beginning as a kid. Did not finish it till switch came out. So, for nostalgia, I'm hoping you do DW IV. It was my favorite and last Nes game as a kid.
