I am sad that my soul character, Solomon didn't get into deadlock, but I am not sad that urban city witch granny with pigeons got in ahead of him

I am not interested in the slop rollback version of Project M. Project M is one of the most important games to me, but I can wait. When you see something like this, the efforts of many people out of passion, how can you disregard it all to center things on you? On AI? youtu.be/vIxskj3UFV0

It's weird that the best official way to play DQ4 is a mobile version right, I don't think that's too common in games ha

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

as someone that only casually knows about Chess, learning about chess stuff because of Solomon in Deadlock has been fun, even moreso because it's summoning people really passionate about Chess to argue about the board state Solomon has (which is apparently from The Immortal Game)

Solomon Deadlock is such a me character... I wonder if the designer was a fan a of shikamaru as a kid too

And you might think "Meteor is strange, are they not all dinosaurs?" and I have wonderful news.

the yugioh card, Jurrac Meteor. It features a large meteor shaped Dinosaur descending into the Earth's atmosphere from space. It is a level 10 Dinosaur Synchro monster. Its effect reads: When this card is synchro summoned, destroy all cards on the field. Then you can special summon 1 tuner monster from your graveyard."

Nothing like a Yugioh archetype...

A list of Jurrac members, the dinosaur archetype from Yugioh. It includes their name in yugioh, like Herra, and their real life counterpart, Herrarasaurus. Among this list however is a Jurrac member named Meteor, whose origin is Dinosaur Extinction.

Okay, so DQ7 has double tricked me. Deathpal taught me that sometimes there isn't a gimmick, you just fight I thought dang, this robot boss is tough, but there are no gimmicks. And then I found out you can beat the NPC robots, "Ohhh, there is a trick" There was no trick. Boss still killed me.

Customizing things is fun. Even back as a wee lad to me making a forum signature, even with my limited skill was fun to do These days you can get stuff and truly fiddle with it forever and the cool part is it's what YOU would make

I don't know if it's because the Hargon brainrot has seeped deep into my subconscious but I've always found Malroth's design to be visceral? Like a very primal, instinctual kind of power and evil that is very compelling I think it's a design that maybe tricks at first glance, hiding its true depth

Ah, Dragon Quest IV is so good man.

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Every time someone makes a video about Dragon Quest IV I get reminded that I played the Mobile version because the DS version didn't translate the Party Chat, it's always something with DQ in English

this Torneko is so cute, ha

and he gets Chunsoft founder Koichi Nakamura to play Rogue as well and now they want to make this game and luckily for them, since Chunsoft already worked with Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii To MAKE DQ games the connection allowed them to create the very first Mystery Dungeon game, starring Torneko

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It really is the perfect storm. Dragon Quest IV features a merchant who travels to find treasures and sell them (and is a fan favorite character at that!) and designer Seiichiro Nagahata who was fancying some Rogue (The 1980 computer game and first half of the word Roguelike)

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

This is crazy to see. Torneko Mystery Dungeon Classic HD will have Stream Integration to allow viewers to watch and interact with the game This is crazy to see on an official Dragon Quest Website...

Some of the lighting as a result gives some locales (Forest temple, Twinrova arena) color and lighting that evokes the original art direction and others (Kokiri Forest, Goron Village) just do not look visually appealing

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

As an unc that loves Ocarina of Time, I think the new game looks pretty good in some places and really bad in quite a few and personally almost entirely due to egregious post processing (that you could most likely disable if anyone besides Nintendo made this game)

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm still pretty early on, I've just been surprised that the bosses so far haven't had something I was missing or a trick to it, they're just fights you have to complete the no magic for Hackrobat and three back to back robot fights have been pretty funny, felt psarro-esque

Look at these sprites!

a page of the Monster Book from Dragon Quest Monsters 2 featuring the classic Imp monster using its previous localized name, Demonite. It can be bred with any demon monster and any bird monster. It learns Blaze, FireAir, and FrigidAir. Its description reads: Intelligent, but far too frail.

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

The ultimate Dragon Quest monster. A little guy that looks totally silly and even has a gag in gameplay, where it will attempt to cast a strong Frizz spell but it fails because it doesn't have enough MP

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

this is how you know DQ3 is really when DQ perfects the formula

a wiki screenshot of the iconic Imp from Dragon Quest. It is a little guy in a purple demon suit that has demon wings and a tail, with matching brown gloves and boots. Instead of a pitch fork it has a large fork and it is constantly sticking its tongue out at you. It first appeared in Dragon Quest 3

I love the chemistry of these characters and getting text like this really makes you want to miss zero talks

The party from Dragon Quest 7 in a house, Maribel says to the hero "Even if you died today Fyusha I would always remember you"

Dude this poor kid how will he ever want to go on more adventures

A soldier next to another soldier on a bed. He says We promised each other we were both going for the captains spot!

That's no fun! Right? Come on, talk to me! Hey!

after examining the soldier in the bed the hero concludes There's no response. He appears to be dead.

I'm sure many people will bring up Toonami and probably even this clip but you have to give it up, Peter Cullen made anything sound hard as hell Rest in peace

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I'm sure the longer worlds with big stories and story beats make it but going back to see the robot with a dead character's name on it and going back to see that the inventor ended up erasing the name which is totally optional to see I think I would be sad about missing anything like that

010

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I originally got the 3ds version of dq7 when it came out and knew back then there was cut content but I didn't play the whole game to really experience that Playing the original I can already see why someone wouldn't want anything cut, there is so much text and it makes the world feel alive

I died a couple times to Deathpal (Hackrobat) and was wondering "am I doing something wrong" but the game is pretty good about laying out all possible options He was in fact just Like That and I won

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

There's something about the menus and UI in this game It feels... Like it was done begrudgingly but in a way you can empathize with? I don't envy the localizers this game has SO MUCH text

A screenshot of a shop with a chicken running it. It says Cluck Cluck? And the options are Buy Sell and End

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

DQ7 has what I have to assume are a bunch of exclusive monster designs because I keep encountering monsters I've never seen in my life And I was like "maybe I'm mistaken" and the first one I look up is exclusive to DQVII

031

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

I'll just make a thread for Dragon Quest 7 screenshots lol I'm glad Maribel gets to be a snot nosed kid but sometimes she's pretty funny

A town in DQ7, Maribel is speaking to the Hero and saying: These people are nothing more than soulless shells.

The next dialogue reads: Funny, they don't look rich

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

The other thing is that you can really tell this is the last localization before modern DQ in English. The monster names, spells, and most observable of all, the dialogue

A screenshot of Dragon Quest 7 for the PS1 being emulated. Inside a volcano, Elma is speaking to the player "You scared the slime out of me! Don't sneak up on me like that"

031

Y4RS @y4rs.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

It's probably just because I've been playing so much Golden Sun but I was surprised by how many puzzles in DQ7 have already involved pushing stuff around and carrying it It immediately feels quite different compared to DQ6 in that regard, probably to take advantage of being a 3D game
