Some tricks for Japan style homes :) You can use the shelf style blocks that join together to make the runners the doors run on. (You place the edge blocks under the corner edges of the walls so that the wood runners appear over the door bottoms) You can use the wood slat wall to make rural rustic windows I think you can use the magnet blocks to disguise the bottom of doors to turn the top lattice into windows, I know you can inset those doors into the floor to make sliding floor window screens. Making a floor hearth out of a brick BBQ, same can be done with the hot water bathtub (best to face the oven side out so it looks like you start the fire outside) if you dig down one block to sink it into the floor. A lot of the Japanese tubers got real excited and built a lot of Japan houses once the 1st dlc came out ☺ and many have short how-too's which I watched while waiting for your stuff 😊

[@BenXC]

That are some pretty neat ones. Do you have some links to the videos which gave you that ideas? (I will unblock them later because youtube blocks links in comments)

[@silverbane8065]

[@silverbane8065]

Just thought you might like to see this one. Its a sumer festival build I think it was done yesterday kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJ3OaoCnjM9oj9E There are three main people I watch for DQB2 Japanese building. Pon-p (who often you will see in top votes for build pics) ChiDore and yupon I think the name is. The last user is the one that just did the festival street. So many builds to be inspired by 😀 but I sub to you because you made the game funny when I have only the most basic understanding of what's going on in Japanese lol. Hope their builds have helped inspire you, too.

[@BenXC]

Wow! Thank you! Someone went through great expenses for this :D

[@silverbane8065]

Its a bit like sharing old sims1 stuff. I like how it makes people happy to get new stuff. I can't build right now as I don't have the game yet. But I can share links to stuff so when we CAN build, we have a head start on tricks 😁 Did you know that you can build a fish tank with n wooden edges? If you make your window glass one block bigger than the actual size of the tank, then break off each edge per side, add water it should look like an edgeless all glass tank ☺

[@devilpozz6]

I'm japanese and your house is much better than mine!!

[@BenXC]

Haha thank you very much, that means a lot to me :)

[@Drahmin05]

I tried yesterday to build one of these houses, but I lacked the materials, so I ended up building a very cozy one-man prison. Awesome job, man.

[@BeliasLP]

Hey Ben! your videos keep me hyped for the western release of DQB2 :) and its nice to see you talk more often in your videos nowadays. keep up your great work! cheers, Belias

[@BenXC]

Hey Belias! Thank you, that's good to hear :) I will keep them coming!

[@JustLou08]

Very nice! You can have a small pond on the garden and have some koi swim around! You can also use those deer scare things as well as some bamboo here and there! And of course, the bathroom should be a Japanese themed one! And where else do you look for references than the Japanese players? Keep those videos coming, Ben!

[@BenXC]

I always use google image search as reference and then I slab them together in my head, make a little floorplan and start building. sometimes I need a pause and look at images again :) Yeah I'll also make a video about japanese gardens

[@Zelapher]

As odd as it may sound this is the first I'm really seeing dqb2's mechanics and i gotta say I'm liking how they seem to have improved in every way mechanically compared to dqb1 super excited to play the game in English so I can understand the dialogue and learn if they maintained the quality in that degree as well On a more related note, great video!

[@TheGuitargirl16]

Started to replay the game and found your videos again. I can’t wait till I can make house like yours😊

[@Nevercraven]

Can't wait to get my hands on this game this week. It looks like so much improved over the last one 😊

[@derpdrawz4541]

Great way of using roof corner blocks Ben Also the house is raised to prevent damages caused by flooding

[@BenXC]

I almost thought of everything^^

[@cozzy4447]

Watching this makes me realise I could never do this in a million years and if I followed your video my final version would look absolutely crap I don’t know how you do it but it’s very impressive

[@BenXC]

Dont say that. I'll try to make a few videos where I'll explain everything in detail, so everyone can do it :)

[@cozzy4447]

BenXC I’d definitely give it a go if you do you’d get a good laugh seeing my version though 😂

[@wonder777warrior6]

You're limiting yourself mate. Keep telling yourself that you can do it and with time and practice, you will get it!:)

[@TamorrLW]

And this is the style I sort of build in constantly. Although I look at a lot of Asian architecture from China, Japan, and some of the other nations in the Eastern Culture. Although I usually look at the eras where those buildings were more prominent or are still standing. Of course I add my own creative twist or take on the building style. :) I'd say you did well, and made it quite practical. It is nice seeing how others go about building. Always enjoying for more inspiration.

[@gaiaaoi1005]

Attic is the opposite of basement, just so you know😅 Love your builds. Thank you!!!

[@leopoldkain6815]

I learned from this video how to build roofs. Again thank you for these videos. Keep up the good work.

[@BenXC]

I'm glad I could help :)

[@TamLe-sh2ru]

33:48 "Very simple build" 🤣🤣

[@attacksoon4535]

It's really cool to hear your voice in the vids. I feel like your let's play made you less shy I guess? And now your voice is in every video and now, the old videos feels empty without your voice. Keep up the good work!

[@BenXC]

Someone got a keen eye (or ear) :) Yeah the first videos I was kind of unsure what to talk about but over time it gets better and better^^

[@Rob-uy3gr]

What an incredible creation! What tool allows you to build from a stationary position?

[@wowblazeitm]

I believe its the magic pencil

[@Kyllvan]

The Buildnoculars (He calls it the Builder's Eye in the Japanese Videos), it's the last item you get from completing ALL the Tablet Targets on the Isle of Awakening. (Which requires beating the main storyline.)

[@jessivemovedude2468]

Building the roof is the most dreaded part of building house structures, lol

[@littlemoth4956]

But then if you make a good roof it makes the house 10x better

[@alexh02]

Bathing area and toilet are usually 2 different rooms. The hallway might have been better 1 or 2 blocks wider so you put something like what you did with the veranda to make it look like a shelf so foot wear is out the way of the door

[@BenXC]

Yeah I think I would have also prefered to make it a big bigger but I wanted to also work with the space I have available. Just look at it like a basic japanese house. You can add whatever you want when you build one yourself :)

[@markphillips8605]

Love watching these videos and would love to live in that house:)

[@BenXC]

Thank you very much :)

[@MoiDj22]

I try the demo a couple days ago! I was wondering what can be build in this game, I love Minecraft as well but the graphics in this game are beautiful without any modding! I believe your video and creativity convinced me on getting DQB2! And I subscribe to your channel as well! Cheers!

[@BenXC]

There are around 1400 different items in the game, which should be quite helpful in experimenting with them in a creative way :) and thank you very much!

[@MoiDj22]

@@BenXC that's plenty of Items, I just want to become a good builder as you are! But I'm sure it will take me some time and creativity. Cheers!

Lookin really cool

[@rubenvela44]

I noticed there can be improvement in building faster. When you on a wall just press L. The L button is key for speed

[@crsone2947]

Nicely done!! Can you share your creations online to show other players?

[@pkilljoy5797]

yes, you can even let people visit a copy of your area

[@larkinthesky]

How do you create the tatami mats? I've got the Japanese dlc, but I have no clue how to make these mats.

[@wonder777warrior6]

You're an artist. Can't wait to get my own copy of this game also is this Japanese stuff a DLC and if so how much.

[@BenXC]

Yes it is. It's around 8$ or get 3 DLCs for 20$ :)

[@wonder777warrior6]

BenXC I appreciate it :D!

[@TheGheddon]

Nice video! Your creations are beautiful. Do you get unlimited access to materials in the free mode? Do you get them all unlocked from the beginning? I love building but I didn't like collecting everything again in the free mode from the first game.

[@BenXC]

Thank you very much! Most of the blocks are from the "hotto stuff pack" DLC for the game. Also the banded block.

[@kentzuh86]

Ty for the reply. Just bought all dlc on ps4 2 days ago and pulled an all nighter to fully replicate. Divided the backyard with a small garden and a pool of paradise. Must say it was a chore without the buildnoculars i unlocked 4h ago and house was done before that. Thx for the guide

Hi I cant seem to find an answer for this anywhere. Do you know if we can plant sakura trees on our island? How do we get them from the DLC? Also are the DLC items you can only build after playing the main story lines? I've completed Farrowfeilds but I cant seem to find any of the materials to make the white walls or clothing form the Hotto DLC.

[@BenXC]

You'll find sakura trees on the second material island, there they'll drop some petals which you can cook to make sakura seeds. DLCs are unlocked after a week of release. The reason Switch owners already can do it is because they messed up on Nintendos side.

[@KiaraLupin]
