Is Dragon Quest 9 Worth Playing Solo?
Переглядів 40 тис.Рік тому
I bought DQ9 on the day of release in 2009. However, without anyone else to play with, I felt I was missing out on this multiplayer-focused game, so I stopped playing after five hours. 15 years later, I give the game another whirl, and my opinions of it transform DQ9 DLC: (www.almarsguides.com/retro/walkthroughs/NDS/Games/DragonQuestIXSentinelsoftheStarrySkies/ActionReplay/) scroll down until y...

    I played this game almost entirely single player (did about four grottos with my friend before he moved schools) and loved it. Nothing in the main story needs any multiplayer elements to be fully enjoyed.

  • @krakelwok

    It really needs a remake. Firstly, because it's the only one in the mainline to never have been remade, secondly because blowing up the old DS graphics to HD on an emulator still leaves them looking crummy - those graphics were made for DS screen resolution and size and nothing else - and thirdly, what with today's internet connectivity in games giving people a shot at the multiplayer shouldn't be any trouble anymore.

    Why does every game have to be played multiplayer or online? What happened to playing a game alone offline and actually achieving something by ones self without the influence of others?

    I personally love DQ9, I played it solo and am now playing it years later with my wife. It's the same experience just made more enjoyable sharing with people you want to spend time with. I honestly wish they would do something similar but with an online function so you can play with friends like BG3.

    If you want to play the game in 2024 aka before any remake comes out: There's an exploit where you can connect your DS to a specific IP to get all mystery gifts in the Pokemon games. It works the same for DQIX and will give you all the wi-fi exclusive missions that aren't available anymore.

    I bought this game back in ~2012 to keep me busy after a surgery that left me unable to walk for about a week. I enjoyed it immensely and wasn't even aware that it was geared towards multi-player. The single-player experience lived up to some of my favorite JRPGs I had played before, like Golden Sun 1&2, Chrono Trigger and Grandia 2. It's a really well-made game.

  • @BenKennedy-t7b
    @BenKennedy-t7b 2 місяці тому

    I never once felt like I needed friends for this game, and it was one of my all time favorite games as a kid. I’m watching a review for the first time, because I’m playing through it again and wanted to see what others thought of the game. (The party system is basically the same as dragon warrior 3, so I never even noticed they were “silent” I just imagined what kind of personality they would have)

    • @Avarith
      @Avarith 2 місяці тому

      Same here, I never got bothered by the "silent team" either and I think it's mostly for this one reason : Yourself Your reason to help people and go save the world, how some fight or enemies treat you, etc... is mainly because YOU are a Celestrian, not the others. (Yes it's not the first time the protagonist is special but I feel like there is a difference between being chosen and being a literal angel.)

  • @christaylor86
    @christaylor86 2 місяці тому

    I've never heard anyone describe DQ9 as even the multiplayer one, let alone "The one that's only good with multiplayer". The idea that a feature of it existing meant it had a disservice done to it is quite silly.

  • @briqhtlightss
    @briqhtlightss 2 місяці тому

    I'm super late to this conversation - I just want to throw my hat in the ring, as most people here haven't experienced multiplayer! I grew up with DQ9 alongside my brothers. I have 3 older brothers, and all 3 had DQ9. So, growing up, we used to play with each other. And, honestly speaking, I enjoy the solo party aspect for the main story game entirely more than playing multiplayer in during the story. I had help from my brothers as a kid because I didn't understand the mechanics fully, and their characters were stronger than mine, so if I was REALLY struggling with a boss, I'd get them to come help me; swap out some party members, they'd come join, help me beat the boss, and I move on with the story. But this severely underhanded my party later on gameplay-wise. All my characters are mismatched levels now because of this despite being FAR postgame (my highest (the hero) being 99, my lowest being 47). Now, I'm playing solo on my second cartridge, and I've also hooked my friend into the game to play solo on her emulator. And the experience of doing it entirely by yourself is just as rewarding. Yes, you lose the story aspect within the party itself, but there's enough outside of it that you don't need it. The hero has the entire story and all the interactions, and if you have a wild imagination you can make stuff up in your head about your party members. The story is beautiful and one of my favourite RPG stories I've ever played; and I've never thought it was better in multiplayer than solo. As for grottoes, though, I think I do enjoy the challenge of grottoes in multiplayer more than I do with my party members. There's a security in planning out everything with your party and knowing all their moves back-to-front because you see them so often, yes, and it's still worth doing grottoes solo. But my absolute favourite thing ever was to fight high-level grottoes with my brothers. Nothing beat that comradery. Otherwise, it's still super, super fun to play it solo, and even 10yrs after I got my first copy, I play it to this day. And now that my friend has now been roped into it, I get the joys of watching her fall in love with my childhood game :)
