I like how the DS remake of DQV added more screentime to the guy who kills your dad.

It felt kind of anticlimactic when you suddenly kill him off in a boss fight later on that's almost at the mid-point of the game

Also, everytime you adventure around with your dad you have no control over your character in the overworld. Why? It's because despite you being the player character, it's your dad that's the leader of the 'party'.

But Flint becomes so horrible after that. Abandons his household and his son to go searching up in the mountains every day.

And he's balding.

This is mainly due Itoi's evident trauma about growing up without a dad.
See how in both M1 and 2 the father is never home, and in M3 happens the same ultimately.

And what's wrong with balding? Testosterone.

I laughed so fucking hard when dad accidentally went down a set of stairs and had to backtrack. Quintessential Dragon Quest right there.

Sadly the joke only works in the original, because of the differed size in elements, so in the remakes the stairway doesn't take up the whole damn corridor anymore.
Everything else about the remake is just fantastic, though.

I think saving his game for him and giving him money and stupid advice over the phone makes up for that.

in the third generation, the main charcter would literally ride in the back of a fucking u-haul before he/she got to its version of pallet town.
Was weird as fuck seeing that as a kid, I could never understand why they would do that in a game.

Well, that wasn't my point anyway, the point is that there's nothing wrong with being bald. Hair is primitive, unhygienic and ultimately only serves as an aesthetic tool, a real man shouldn't need it.

I'm half-joking, people can do what they want with their hair, I myself have been shaving since years though, much more comfortable

>> No.485398

>>483738
But it's true. Hair follicle damage is a side effect of testosterone spikes.

Or has this been disproved?
