I figured it out. You press X when you have a character highlighted but not selected on the item screen.
there's been neon signs in the series since like, DQIV
That is definitely slower than average (not that it matters). I'm not exactly rushing and got them around 21 hours in.
If you're running out of focus while forging, I definitely recommend using sizzle puff first, then mostly the random striking bash. That's an efficient way to do the bulk of the work. Then you use the other kinds of strikes for fine tuning.
Thanks! Just got 100k by playing poker and bought the greatsword. Slot machines weren't as efficient to me.
Man, I played so much poker I got a bunch of those nice random items you unlock by double or nothing. Which makes it more lucrative than slots since as far as I can tell, slots are just tokens. At least it feels like I'm making progress if I start dipping into less tokens than I started with. I'm not sure if talking to that fortune teller that says "you'll have good luck on this thing!" helps. It almost feels like superstition, since the difference between when I randomly tried the slot machines and when she said I'd have luck on slot machines didn't feel different. That's RNG for you I suppose.
English VA, the localization has a ton of amazing writing with alliteration, haikus, and rhyming couplets that would be lost simply reading it while listening to the JP voiceover.
If you turn the voice volume slider all the way down, you even get all the beep boop dialogue noises instead. (At least that's how it was in the western PS4 version.)
Been playing with Japanese VA and I like it. The game does that thing where they changed a bunch of names for the English version, though, which is noticeable and annoying (Jade = Martina, Erik = Kamyu(?), Serena = Senya, Hendrik = Greg/Greig, I think Sylvando's name is different but I don't remember what it is, and several other story important characters but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head). The Japanese voice acting is good, though.
Sylvando is Sylvia/Silvia.
Um... attempts? Dragon Quest games are all dubbed by UK actors.
I thought Rab had an over the top Scottish accent, but it turns out his voice actor is Scottish lol
The accents are very exaggerated. I think they're okay as they're purposely played quite big. They're a bit characatured - it's definitely going to grate some people.
Japanese VA, I didn't like the english voices at the beginning of the demo.
Yeah I beat them both at about 50 and I didn't think the latter was easier
