Okay yeah, has anyone managed to beat the Wheel of Harma Secret Trial?
(If the name is a spoiler let me know and I'll edit it out but I don't really see how it could be)
I managed to get to the second round and then Jade promptly got demolished. Everyone is near max level, this trial is utterly overwhelming.

Oo wait metal slime farming is one of my favorite parts of DQ games so definitely going to leave it off, thanks for that reminder
In the spanish version the people in Gondolia speak almost in full italian. It gets hard to read at first, but man... that must've been hell for the spanish localization team... (unless the italian team helped them out on this)
Luckily I play the italian version but yeah I can imagine that was difficult for the localization team.
Nobody ever claimed there was straight up gay marriage. They added every party member as people you can "live forever with" which includes men. And you get unique dialogue for each choice.
I just rewatched the stuff that happens before the beginning of Act 3 and I can understand why people may feel they don't like the premise storywise at least.
I bet they want the player to feel uneasy on purpose. So the Luminary severs the Time Sphere, separating the memories from what happened before and after going to the World Tree, then maybe shrinking himself into the remaining portion of the record of memories/glass to continue doing stuff in there, not actually changing anything in actual reality except perhaps causing crystals to form differently on shattered glass. The original party is effectively seeing him disappear in a flash of light as he's living out the rest of his life and shaping events in that "crystallization of memories", maybe shrunken down or imprinted into crystal fragments, albeit at least Calasmos is being completely taken care of in the bargain too to the relief of the actual reality.
I'm wondering if I've found the spot at which I want to remove the no xp for weaker monsters draconian modifier. I spent the entire Act 2 final boss fight on the defensive until he decided to mist/a cut above 3 full HP party members at level 55 to death in one turn. I like having harder monsters, but grinding hardy hands is a pain without getting xp for the fights I DO participate in. I think I'm turning it off in a bit. I'd imagine it's served it's purpose up until this point.
I think the only useful draconian is the one that makes the enemies more powerful. It really makes the game better and more tactical.
The other draconian are just needless self-flagellation for masochists.
It's by far the best Tickington quest due to your party's reactions, made me laughI made Erik my blushing bride-to-be and he was elated by it!
If you google search site:resetera.com or site:reddit.com about DQXI gay marriage there were a lot of people talking about it. So yeah a lot of people I saw claimed that.
Yeah people didn't really pay attention to what was actually said. It was always "live with" and not "marriage".
That said, in practice it's still really close.
Rab's voice acting is pretty good.
How does everyone know the hero is a prince of Dundrasil? Erik, Rab, and Jade I get, but everyone else seems to take it in stride. It seems like everyone already knew without it being mentioned
Nooooo, my marriage prospects were ruined at the reveal. I wanted to marry Jade :(. It's still real to me dammit. Technically it's not incest since they're not related /s. Now that Jade is out, there's no one else I want to marry. I'm not really vibing with Serena or Veronica. Can I marry Erik instead?
I'm about 25 hours in and about to get Rab and Jade.
You'll have the full squad assembled when you reach Arboria, but you can't get there right now.
I got them at maybe the 20 hour mark? Hey, you're getting your money's worth.
lol I figured I was way behind most people. I talk to people in the towns like 600 times and shit
This honestly may creep into my favorite games ever. I haven't felt this sense of adventure in a RPG in a while. Not really an RPG but it reminds me of Ocarina of Time in a lot of ways.
I'm past a certain point where the sea became explorable, and I just sat there and let the music play...I feel as though I haven't been actually moved by a video game track in a while. This is really wonderful. And a true standout in a game that is overall weirdly conservative with its music.

Haha everyone is pretty down for it. I saved beforehand so I could see other responses but that was unnecessary, you can just talk to the rehearsal guy again.I made Erik my blushing bride-to-be and he was elated by it!
Act 2 spoilers;
It's still queer baiting though. 😕
I am almost at the final boss, I just defeated Jasper...he was a lot easier than the boss fight when I arrived at the place. I didn't go and fight the final boss as I plan to do that tomorrow but yeah I am almost at the end of the game.
I also have a question in regards to the post game, do I have to do the time travel nonsense to marry a character? As I rather not do that and undo all the character development, it just seems like a cop out on the writers and developers part.

I am still going with Jade as my marriage choice.
True, but I'm going to give it a slight pass because...
The girls' (sans Gemma) "marriage" events are ambiguous as well. Enough elbow room is given so that you can interpret everyones' event as romantic or not. 'Cept Rab.
The fact that the luminary was the prince of Dundrasil was common knowledge at the time of his birth.
How far are you, it might not have shown up in the story for you yet.
Same as you, looked up a team strat but couldn't finish off Round 2 with Jade at level 99 and very good gear. I only tried it once, but It seems besides being level 99 you'll also need the best crafted gear with +3 in every slot for every character to stand a chance and complete it in 50 turns for all the rewards.
Luckily, the rewards weren't good enough to really grind it out, just a bunch of stat seeds. I'm sure you get an achievement for it, too. It's one of the few things I did not complete in my playthrough.
Well, Sylvando joined the party and
we are just on a god danged adventure here.
we are on a boat, and I didn't even know this game had a boat
I'm more interested in seeing the rest of the fights than the rewards themselves.
I think it's less a question of gear and more a question of the correct party member for each fight. Which is why I'm trying to find some sort of guide for it but it seems like it's new to this version so there aren't any yet.
This was the only "guide" I found by someone who completed it on GameFAQs:
The stat seeds are actually pretty nice, the supers give you +20 for each use which is actually pretty OP. lol
For some reason I hadn't considered giving Jade healing items for her fight. That would definitely make it easier!
It's weird because it seems to differ from one game world to another. Getting through dungeon from VII is fine, but the one from IV is torture.
I kind of feel bad that I unlocked Holy Protection in 11's skill tree when it only has purpose for those quests.
That's some nice loot you have there. It'd be a shame if someone stole it.
These NPCs must be shocked to find there items stolen. Some have life savings in there.
Just curious, what real-life places are the in-game ones based off of?

Heliodor - no idea
Hotto - Japan obviously
Gallopolis - Middle East/Turkey
Gondolia - Italy (Venice)
Octagonia - France
Puerto Valor - Spain
Lonalulu - Hawaii

Sniflheim would be either Antarctica or Russia territory, their snowy city's name escapes me right now
The ruins area is based on The Netherlands, with all the windmills and double a's
Gosh the point in story im in right now is too much talking way less action. So I'm just constantly taking breaks from being bored with all the tastless chit chats
There are more areas too, like an area based off of Potala Palace, Ancient Greece, Angkor Wat.
Octagonia, Heliodor, Dundrasil, etc just seem like more generic medieval or original style.

Everyone in Dundrasil speaks with a Scottish accent, so it's likely meant to be some kind of old Scottish castle or something like that.
I haven't made it to those sections yet in the English version so the different dialects and styles were probably lost on me playing the Japanese version, but that makes sense.

Managed to beat it in 88 turns with that lineup. It actually wasn't too hard once I got past round 2. That was the tricky one, and it requires a fair bit of luck.
