Dragon Quest

[Anonymous No.9672569]

I just replayed DW4 (NES), going with a different playstyle as on my first playthrough

First play
>base game
>female hero
>main Nara, Mara and Ragnar

Second play
>gameshark code to disable AI in chapter 5
>sea monster fix
>male hero
>main Cristo, Alena and Brey
It's sad that nobody's made an uncensor patch though

It's crazy how much easier the game was when controlling the party yourself. In a way the AI can often be better than the player because they decide what they do when they do it, rather than before a turn, but at the same time being able to buff/debuff and heal whenever you want largely makes up for it.
Casting Bikill at will on Alenna using the Stiletto Earrings lead to a fast mean killing machine.
I was lvl 37 for the final boss (42 in my first playthrough), and I completely forgot to change Alena's Dress of Radiance before the battle starts meaning I was unable to buff her or to cast Heal Us, and I still had the easiest time.

On the downside Cristo kinda sucks, his main pro being he gets his best sword as soon as you can get to the Medal King, so mid game he hits almost as hard as the Hero, but he sucked before that and he sucked after that. His lack of offensive spells meant I used physical attacks more in this playthrough. His other main pro was Revive but considering how little I died, it wasn't very relevant.

Anyway I also made 100k coins at the casino on a single double up game

>On the downside Cristo kinda sucks

Forgot to say he can wear all the Metal Babble equipment though, but his HP is still really low. I used half of my Lifeforce Nuts on him (the other half on Brey).

I either didnt get 4 or got filtered by it. I played the DS version. It was fine, though very standard. But then after you start with all those characters, you finally assemble your party, and only THEN the real adventure begins? This pissed me off, and I just quit. All that time spent to just get the story started. Didn't help that the DS version was kinda ugly.
I don't know, maybe it's not my cup of tea. I liked 1 and 3. I got filtered by 5 though, though the plot is interesting, it still felt like a huge slog.

Since nobody's ever done it, I just restored Cristo (damn his constant blinking sucked ass, dunno what they were thinking there) and the casino bunny girl.

The rest should be just as easy to restore... except for Vivian. Enemy graphics are compressed + if they changed the metadata it'll be a headache.

If i am not mistaken, outside of an early puff puff the game is not "censored".
For me Kiryl was the main healer as Meena had worse stats and worse equipment, best DQ game on the console imo.

Where is that puff puff?

Interestingly this site mentions Brey doing some sexual harassment

As for censoring there are the bunny girls and all the crosses

The puff puff is changed for a frying pan, as for Brey being a perv i think is a mistranslation from Google or the dude on that page is fucking around, i never played the Japanese version but i also never saw Brey being a pervert on fan circles and the play boy girls are still on the in international versions.

You are right, they removed the bunnies ears on pic related and on the field sprites.

I hadn't seen that. His motivation is a lot different; I think he's a better villain.

Sephiroth is a bitch, Pzaro wants to kill people because humans used to torture his girlfriend, then when the humans kill her he went bonkers and with reason.
Sephiroth is mad because he is a test tube baby.
