Dragon quest 8 magic mirror
Everything I read online says you need Magic Burst with Jessica, well I didn't have any skill points in bare fists, so what now? Luckily I had a stock of skill seeds I could use and a couple of runs through the final Dragovian boss got me a couple of super skill seeds so I got Magic Burst for Marcello. I'm upto Dhoulmagus, Marcello was really rough.Īt this point I don't feel these bosses are fun because it's more about RNG and having a certain line-up or attributes. These Memories Lane bosses are testing my love for the game, lol. I just wondered if I was going to miss out on anything if I dumped everything into the wrong skill set. That's my fault though, I always over-level and hoarde in RPGs. It's just as quick, if not quicker for me to just mash attack. Maybe because I like to be over-leveled? It just feels like each fight is over before any status effects get going - even buffs/debuffs are more a matter of style over substance. Yang's best skills are in Axes and Humanity, but alas he's just can't compete with what Morrie and Red offer.Ĭlick to expand.Executioner has definately made KMS farming seem a little faster, although I'm not entirely sure if it's psychosomatic since more often than not it just boils down to if the slime flees or not first thing - if it doesn't flee the Executioner skill certainly gives another chance along with Lightning Thrust on hero for a quick kill, but no matter how much agility I stack on my team the order can still vary wildly between encounters so every encounter is still dependent on it not fleeing first thing.Īll the charisma/charm type skills I've never found a use for on any character. Definitely get Executioner, even if you need to waste skill seeds because it makes hunting King Metal Slimes easier. I think I had like 50 unspent points at the end of the game because I just couldn't decide what to get lulz.Īs for Yangus, I noticed he actually levels faster than the Hero (I'm pretty sure he was 1-2 levels over him in my game) but he will stop getting a lot of points after a certain level, Jessica is the same. Charisma is largely useless except for Sarcastic Snigger (Which I never needed cause Morrie). Bows are good to get MP back during the game and they have a nice AOE attack for random encounters, but I doubt you'll notice a difference at this point (Actually, swords may be better for Metal slimes hunting). 90% of the time he should be without weapon healing or using the Timbrel of tension. It feels like something of a natural progression.I used Angelo for all game up to the ultimate boss, and quite honestly it doesn't matter. Even the original KQ games dealt with this in a way, with Graham passing on his hat to his children.

In this scene, Graham is told to leave the castle for the young, which I took it as "Leave the KQ series for his descendents." I rewatched the KQ6 scenes in chpt 5 on youtube, which makes this point clear as the villager tells Graham that legacy isn't what he leaves behind (his stories being retold constantly), but what he leaves in people's hearts (to inspire the thrills of adventuring in the hearts of Garts' and Gwens' ). They are not saying to forget the classic games, but to let go of the fan remakes and the sequel that revolved entirely on Graham and KQ6, and instead, be open for new adventures with a new lead.
I took the old age and letting go as the developers telling the fandom to let go of the old series and embrace the new series with new adventures. I enjoyed the series as a whole a lot and if they make another one, I will buy it just on the strength of this one.Īfter writing the comment on the other thread, I am starting to like chapter 5 more just for the same reason. Originally posted by Mandrake42:I liked chapter 5, I was a little nonplussed by the cliffhanger ending, but I really liked what the devs were going for about old age and letting go.
