NES.
Next question.
NESt question hehe
I'm glad I played the nes one because I got the full dw2 experience right up my ass. But it was a pretty annoying game compared to the first one. Probably less annoying on gbc and still soulful graphics from what I've seen
Somebody knows if you can get a second Magic Hat if you already have one in the Famicom version?
Japanese wiki says you can't but there's the story about Satoshi Tajiri being envious of Ken Sugimori having two.
At the very least I know for sure that you can but that it's a bug and you need to do it when you first get it or youre fricked
So you're saying there is a bug in the JP version and that it was fixed for the US version? Do you have a source of that?
I know for sure there are bugs which were fixed between the 2 versions, the extent of which never was documented.
I went and check and the item drop routine which checks if you already have a copy of an item that is dropping is identical in the JPN version. So I don't see how anyone could get 2 Hats without hacking/cheating.
But of course there is always the possibility another routine interferes with the one I was looking at somewhere under some circumstances so if you have some evidence of that bug I'd like to see it, I don't speak Japanese so I can't check on their site of the internet
I was just stoned and thinking about the rain coat thing
NES for sure for a first play, low FOV in the GBC version is a nightmare for exploration for a first play. GBC version is a also easier, although not as stupidly easy as the SNES version but still easier than NES
In the NES US version it is impossible to get an item drop of an item you already have (unless it's a shitty consumable like herbs, holy water etc); instead if you do get a drop it will be Gold. This is confirmed by the dissessambly of the game.
I can check if it's identical in the JP version later , I never thought there'd be any reason why it'd be different.
Anyway the likelyhood of having just ONE Hat is so low that getting 2 would take many days of grinding. Don't forget that for the JP version people could hack the password system to get what they wanted.
Whichever one you fricking want, tuna breath. You're not here to get approval. Skip both if you don't care. Play both. Eat a goat.
GBC.
Next question.
neither. bad game
Yesterday night in bed when I couldn't sleep I was thinking of how unwarranted this game's reputation is.
Everything people complain about in this game, DQ3 has it too but worse: the instant kill enemy attacks in the late game are NOTHING compared to how many dungeons in DQ3 filled with chest enemies that will spam those insta death attacks, they're everywhere in the game. Plus, unlike 2, DQ3 starts doing that long before you even get Vivify or even a pitiful World Tree Leaf. Backtracking to town because someone got killed by a chest mimic, only to come back to the dungeon and instantly encounter ANOTHER mimic is extremely likely, in several dungeons.
Then, as soon as you're likely to have Vivify the next dungeon starts throwing ghost enemies with insta kill attacks too.
Another thing is that once you get the boat, in 2 if you listen to the npcs and logically got the closest next destination, the progression is natural without huge difficulty spikes. In 3 if you listen to the NPCs when you get the boat, they send you straight to fricking Jipang, and the boss there, Orochi, is way above the player's level at that point, this despite having several other easier locations to go through.
Finally when being brought to the west, the balance changes between DQ2 and DW2 were so minimal they're barely noticeable. Meanwhile for DW3 they upped all Exp/Gold yield by 25% compared to DQ3. Yet people repeat it's only 2 which supposedly has balance issues (and before you try to pretend "they made it easier for americans", both DW1 and DW4 remained unchanged compared to the JP versions; so why would they do it for 3 and not for 4)
Also this is more of a nitpick so I shouldn't bring it up, but I think it really speaks of how well designed 2's world is compared to 3, but speaking of the World Leaf, acquiring it is so much worse in 3 than it was in 2. In 2 you're likely to use Beran as a base for the entire second half of the game, and from there you can easily and quickly get to the World Tree, using repel having a grand total of 0-1 encounters. In 3 you first have to purposely warp to either Noaniels or Jipang, and then, even with repel, you're likely to get 3-4 fights in the forest. Then, in 2 once you have the leaf, from that point in the world it's easy to be on your way to your destination, whatever it may be. In 3 most of the times you're better off warping back to somewhere else.
But here is the thing, 2's difficulty was memed in the west, meanwhile 3 is "the game that shut down Japan" so you're to praise it.
As always, original first, remake for replays
NES, of course. You want to experience the classic in its original state that made everyone fall in love with it right?
SNES and ignore the morons who say if you didn't grind 25% more metal slimes you didn't beat the game.
The amount of balance changes done to the SFC version is a lot more than "25% metal slime exp". (In fact, Metal Slime exp got increased by 90%, not 25); but about everything got changed, there is auto targetting past enemy groups, power of spells, character/enemy stats, the spells they learn, Revive spell working during combat AND reviving to full rather than to 1 hp + a second character learning said spell, you can now get more than 1 copy of important items, you get a free magic hat, magic resistance of enemies was lessened, spells enemy use including nerfing bosses etc etc etc Literally every single parameter was changed to make the game easier, they went so overboard with that one and they went back on a lot of changes in the GBC version. SNES version basically plays itself.
Neither
Play 1 and 3, skip 2
>SNES version of co-
You have to have max gold to that shit to happen.
I didn't have max Gold, I had 3k on me and 50k in the bank
However, I just empty the bank, wasted most of the money by buying 2 Strength Shields (43k) and now the glitch seems gone. Interesting. Looks like it depends on the money you have in the bank.
Any idea if this was a glitch in the OG game or only in the translation? I guess I can find out quickly by transferring the save file
DQ2 is the worst DQ of all DQ
FF2 is the worst FF of all FF
COINCIDENCE???
They're both the best ones
