This is my first mainline game, but according to the wiki, they've had them as costumes since DQVI. I do know in Dragon Quest Builders 2, the bunny outfit plays a role on one of the islands (an island full of horny bros), and is one of my least favorite aspects of the game. I did get the black bunny suit for the side quest in Puerto Valor, but only put it on so I could show the dude. I hate it so much.
Not just you. It does look a bit cleaner. Less blurry even? I'm no expert, so I'll gladly be wrong, but it does seem to have done something.
Jade's character development basically amounts to the developers putting her in a bunny suit and then having her stand in the background of every scene. All the character get significant development except her. It sucks.
As far as I can tell it's a Toriyama thing. Like the puff-puff jokes and other things. It's distasteful (or at the very least of questionable taste) but it's "tradition".
Its a shame, she has a cool design to me and is one of my fave characters so far. Its the only major flaw i have with the game so far i think (oh yea and how easily they forgave that guy in Octogonia,that was dumb as hell)
She has a great design and I guess that's all they thought they needed from her.
She had potential but her base visual design has a ton of issues to begin with. I mean it's technically great but it has a belly window, boob enhancing clothing, some variant of zettai ryouiki, high heels, open shoulders and, well, just skin showing everywhere.
Oddly enough, Toriyama toned down the sexy from the base sketch he was given.
Interesting anecdote. Toriyama never was one of the most pervy ones if I'm not mistaken. But if the request is to make a sexy design 🤷♀️
To be honest, I've found this chapter absolutely gross. Maybe I am overreacting, but the game asks you THREE times whether you're going to put it on or not and it just forces you into knowing full well how messed up it is. This is not world building, but a game developer forcing you to choose an uncomfortable option without ANY meaningful contribution to the narrative (and deliberately robbing the player of any agency, which I thought was particularly damning).
Yea i tried refusing it too and it still froced it on me. I even tried taking it off after but nope "itsss cuurrrssseddd"
Dragon Quest is pretty coy about their "but thou must!" Yes/No dialogue choices and it's usually pretty cute but yeah, offering a choice there was depressing.
I did this yesterday. What level are you? I just spammed multithrust with Jade. Was level 36.
Are you reloading from an autosave when you die? If I remember correctly you only have to do the second fight if you reload from your last regular save, which makes things quite a bit easier.
Even if that were true, I still wind up getting schooled by him. He attacks 3 times in a row with the dance, showing the third eye, and then Drain Magic. In 3 turns I wind up playing catch up, trying to heal and still do enough damage with MP attacks before it's all drained. I can't manage to get the upper hand in this fight.
What's the hard way? I just fought the boss. I didn't know there was something else I could do.
But the problem is everyone else has those layers too and the game continues to build on them. She has a great introduction, like you mentioned, but I don't think "she realizes she has friends now" cuts it when you look at the rest of the cast. She starts out so promising and they just let it all slip away. It's pretty disappointing.
