Can happen. I own the game and enjoy it. Building the team, exploring, synthesizing, doing the battles in the arena.
I'm glad you published this but really disappointed you didn't do your research before the last review. I almost was not going to get this game because I thought they didn't include the breeding mechanic which was my FAVORITE thing in the previous games. If the game doesn't have that you are right, it's not worth it. But it does so glad you corrected so that I don't miss this game which was a favorite franchise of mine when little.
I don't really get the people, who compliment him for backpedaling. Apparently DQM had breeding for decades now, so that information would likely show up on a basic Google search. People make mistakes, but this is like not doing your proper research. How can you tell people the game isn't worth retail price, when you haven't even gotten in-depth with its mechanics, spouting utter lies like it not having competitive play?
@@NuiYabuko even in this video you can tell he is just saying what people want to hear. listen to what he says on each topic and how it really doesn't go anywhere. he talked about pokemon last vid and now it's the opposite on praising DQM for everything even if he wouldn't have gotten far enough to gain the knowledge to praise it.
couldn't you have just got that info infinitely faster by just literally anywhere. you couldn't take this game in anywhere without finding out it existed. even in the suggestion bar.
I played dragon warrior monsters on the gameboy when i was a kid and it was all about creating stronger monsters by combining them and passing on parents talents. It gets very very in depth to create the perfect S rank monster, but thats the fun of it, seeing what you can create with different combos!
We stan a king who will go back and admit he didnt research as much as he could possibly and go back and relook at a review. Thanks for giving the game another chance! This franchize and the dragon warriors monsters has been my favorite games of the series! Other then sentinels of the starry skies (still praying for a remake! PLEASE Sqaure Enix and Lvl 5!!!!)
Also you never know they may patch the game and fix some of the frame rate issues
Huge respect for interacting with his fans, taking their opinions into account and using their knowledge to see what he was missing
@@SlimeBlueMS Honestly, why? How does that earn respect? It's not like he was at a preview event, he had the full game available to him, likely didn't play all too much, yet claimed it's not worth the full retail price and now he just backpedals and gets all these compliments?
@@NuiYabuko It was a first impressions and I didn't feel it was worth it based on what I saw at first compared to other Switch games. I made a big mistake and I'm willing to admit it after taking in feedback. You don't have to respect me for it, I'm just trying to right the issue here.
@lucette55 no, listen to everything said. he may have said he's sorry, but every topic is nothing more than a rehash from someone else. this is more of someone grumbling because he's forced to say it.
@@Playeressence that wasn't a first impression, no matter how you cut it. people hating and playing the demo has more of a first impression. it's clear you don't know what pride or respect is. This doesn't right the issue. you made it clear throughout this entire video that you're running away. luckily most people don't know what context is so you'll be in the clear. it's pathetic how little effort you put into 2 videos and people will still believe you tried.
The Monster Arena works a lot like it did in DQ8 but more fleshed out it’s all about building your ultimate monster Team
Yeah, but in the monster arena on DQ8 the monsters have more animations and they are more smoother.
I like how you stand by some of your criticisms and concede in other areas. Gives more of a feel of a honest come back than how a lot of people just toss out an apology to appease the mass. I agree the graphics could be better. It kind of felt like they didn't put a lot into it. I'm still early on story wise but i am enjoying it. I think on a personal level people put too much into graphics and like super deep and expansive worlds in games these days. I kind of find this game a nice throw back and simple game. Pokémon has gone way too deep and expanded far too much and got too complex (especially competitive) I think this game is more for people who want something they can get into but don't have a lot of time to play games because well they have jobs and other responsibilities that don't let them spend 4 5 or 6 hours a day. We need more games like this for people that don't have that kind of time but still have a love of games.
Mistakes happen, reconsidering AND apologizing is more unlikely, respect for that and thanks for giving a new advice :D
Imo good game but sadlt low resolution
Really enjoy your videos man and It took a while for the combat to click for me.
Can you recommend any games for Switch/PS5 that hold your attention personally. I have been having trouble finding something I enjoy and have been playing a lot of older games.
Wouldn't it be helpful to at least say what genres you like? Just naming random games seems counterproductive.
I really appreciate a 2nd look at the game. You don't need to enjoy the game man it's all good, I'm glad you did take in criticism though
Your first impressions weren't wrong, you did exactly what you were supposed to. Take a look, let us know how you feel, and then interact with your audience to see their side too
Really appreciate the 2nd in depth look man. Hopefully you can enjoy it, and again, don't feel like you *need* to enjoy the game haha. DQM has a pretty die-hard fan base so they're kinda passionate and it isn't your fault for not seeing the deeper aspects of the game
Huge respect to you
I said it; handheld mode was the best mode, and still is. The game story gets better after the big tutorial. Don't forget to grind, and synthesis the monsters over and over. Great video man.
Thank you for being a humble guy and coming out with a follow up. It takes a strong person to use feedback in a positive and constructive way. Good job :)
Massive respect for taking a 2nd look while listening to fans opinions, not many reviewers would go through the effort. I just subbed
it'd take a stronger person to want to do it right.
I mean, he's only doing this because of the small backlash. Otherwise, this video wouldn't have existed
I agree a lot more with this review, the last one made me feel like we were playing two different games.
Props to you for acknowledging that you didn't get into the game quite like you should have.
I do hope you leave the other video up as well though. I was one of the people commenting on the other video but I as well acknowledge how important first impressions are. Admittedly the game does start pretty slow and it takes a lot of time before you can really dive deep into the mechanics that make the DQM games so great. Also I wish it would do a little better introducing the mechanics that are present in the game.
First time watching you randomly from the algorithm. I subscribed at 01:30~ and as of writing this comment, have no idea how this video would end but here I am. Liked your honestly, lets see where this takes us.
JRPG, nice.. I like them too.
I played the game since watching your last video, and have liked it a lot. I like this genre in general, though, such as Pokemon, Monster Rancher, Megaten (if you count it), etc.
Being a long time subscriber, I know you really don't like Pokemon, so I predicted you wouldn't like it. I don't know if I'm just lucky, but performance issues in Switch games in general never seem as bad for me as they do for you?
I'm happy that you understood what this game was actually made for, it wasn't made for everyone especially the people who like eye candy... It's an upgraded retro rpg game with a wholesome story and addictive gameplay... It's a niche game for just a few who like these kinds of qualities
It's ok to be human bro, keep up the good work!
Thanks man!
good thing that you went back and grinded the game to talk about the issues, I agree that performance was not there on my V1 Switch Docked. But on my OLED portable i had no issues. Maybe the problem is on docked. I run the game with sys modules tha can show framerate, during hitching on docked v1 it could go down to 25 fps at worst. But there were many areas even at the start where it would go 25 for a while.
Your a legend man for seeing the mixed comments on the first video. Then revisite the game with the comments in mind then give a 2nd opinion. You dint do a full 180 to consolidate the fans. Good constructive video. Most would have doubled down instead. I really thought it was gonna be like that elden ring drama 😂.
he kinda did a full 180.
I was still buying and playing Dragon Quest Monsters from your last video, because you said it was still a good time despite the issues you had with it. Appreciate the clarification on the issues you got wrong and that is why I always take your advice on games, you always give good information and are not above correcting yourself, great video and hopefully Best Buy delivers my copy of the game sometime this week so I can play it 😂
Crap happens, good on you for making the corrections. I do think the good qualities of this game are a little bit buried and it takes some time to learn the systems, but once you get a feel for the flow of the game I think it has a lot to offer. I will vouch for the issues running the game though, I've crashed a few times already.
I really appreciate your apology and your transparency. I've been playing the dragon quest monsters games since they were originally called dragon warrior monsters back in the days of the Gameboy and Gameboy color systems. I definitely plan on picking up the latest entry once I've saved up some money. Keep up the good work 👏
Pokémon can get very in depth especially when you start getting into it competitively it requires a whole bunch of math and statistics also the lore too
I think they are trying to do a very specific thing for a very specific audience. Focusing on the monsters and battles. There are a ton of Japanese people that are loving it right now. Even quite a few DQ Monsters fans in the US that are happy. While outsiders see a game that could have been made on the PS2.
It's not a major budget game.... But they charge full budget price.
This is why OJ is the Goat when he’s wrong he’s not afraid to admit that you are entitled to your own opinion but comparing this to SMT V was a bit over kill
Play your way bud. I'm enjoying it so far personally but I'm not going to go defending it to anyone who isn't lol. But it's nice that you were able to self correct and enjoy it
Really appreciate this video! I totally understand as I initially was feeling almost the same way. I was kind of disappointed with the game at first, and now I just can't stop playing it! Yes, the graphics are rough, there's some frame drops (especially when entering another zone) but almost everything else is great. The "Toriyama" chara design, the music, Japanese voices, the humor, the combats, the possibilities offered with the monsters, etc... One thing as well I would like to mention is the "feel good" atmosphere that this game is providing, along with some very nice quality of life designs that make a great experience. I have played/finished Pokémon Scarlet, and I can already say that I am having a better time with this game. The "designed for little kids"' aspect is removed and the humor is simply way better. It also doesn't take itself too seriously scenario wise like Pokémon would sometimes do, leading sometimes to non-sense of a lack of credibility. Only one thing, I regret that we don't have much possibilities while exploring the different zones. Also playing DQ Treasures ATM and it is night and day regarding this. Not asking for a Zelda BOTW like experience, but a bit more freedom would have been great.
I love the transparency. Been subscribed to this channel for years now and I would say you’re one of the best out there for jrpg reviews. You and happy console gamer are my favorites for the jrpg genre 100%
Are the graphics better or worse than the switch Pokemon games? Like the Pokemon games aren't great either. At least in the footage the aesthetic looks a little better than Open World Pokemon. The graphics look ok to me in the video even on my tv but it's always hard to tell that way cuz an internet video is like not the same quality usually. One of these days someone is gonna make a Monsters/Pokemon type game with a AAA budget and make gangbusters lol.
good man that can admit his mistakes
Great video on revisiting the material. I was not an audience for the first one but this looks like it was handled well.
Good on you, OJ to admitting your mistakes 👍🏾! Admittedly I didn't catch a lot of them because I'm not big into this particular franchise but I appreciate you still getting the right information out.
disagree. he shoulda stood by his work.
he didn't get the right information out. since you're not into this franchise you wouldn't know.
Can you please cover Xuan Yuan Sword: Mists beyond the Mountains, it‘s a HD2D game and very affordable!!🎉🎉
I'll take a look.
@@Playeressence Thanks man 😃
I first fell in love with the franchise on gameboy colour, dragon warrior monsters, i preferred that over pokemon in the early days. But my friends all thought the series wasnt as good as pokemon in many ways from art work to combat etc ... But for me im a fan, no matter what, but each have our own thoughts. Keep it up bro
thank you for apologizing, the initial review was very much "this isn't pokemon" and "but the graphics!" (which is a direct complaint that's been had about pokemon itself)
I'm so glad you mentioned Pokémon. I remembered thinking the original Dragon Warrior Monsters on the GB was like Pokémon, but better. And its a fair comparison, although different. In Japan they even have Dragon Quest Go, like Pokémon Go.
I've never played a DQM game before this one, but I played all the way through the demo and really loved it! Going to try to pickup the full game!
I didn’t comment on your first video, but I was upset about it, especially the Pokémon comparisons. Your apology was very sincere though, and I like that you put in a lot of hours to get a better perspective. I’m also glad that you stuck with some of your issues, because it highlighted your sincerity and honesty. I love DQ Monsters games, warts and all. ❤
Respect for actually taking the time to play it instead of pushing a half-baked review after the only playing the intro. Now that you've actually played it, valid criticisms, and solid review pointing out the good and the bad.
He should've done that to begin with.
I prefer this game than pokemon, at least here am not a kid, this main character seems older and i can feel more identified. Good video bro!
Glad you're enjoying it!
"Because I selfinsert as a dark prince elf" Ok kid.
Yo, glade to see your enjoying yourself a little more with the Dragon Quest Monsters game franchise.
And that taking the time to go from a knee jerk type reaction to a more review like reaction changed the out look on the game for ya in a more positive then negative way.
Love your channel for your opinions OJ. Don't sweat it dude. 😎
I love this game it’s super addictive.
Constantly gonna be chasing new monsters to make the best team to compete in multiplayer. It’s gonna be a grind fest but I love it haha
Appreciate you being so honest about this!
I think, even comparing to Pokemon SV:
-Art style/graphics: I feel that the graphics match the art style. It definitely isn't a Xenoblade, but I also don't feel that it's much better or worse than Pokemon. And many of these are classic DQ monsters that fans of DQ/DQM love to see, with iconic looks. Trees still look bad in DQM/Pkmn. :D
-The performance is nowhere near as terrible as SV was at launch (have they even fixed it?).
-I personally don't mind the English dub; but Pokemon doesn't have voice acting at all, and they've had two games where a character does a silent song/rap. So..........
-And when it comes to the battle system... with Talent trees and Synthesis, there is so much more customization you have over your monsters in DQM, than what you would get in Pokemon. Even with EV/IV training and egg moves, Pokemon only lets you have 4 moves per monster. With DQM, the sky is the limit.
-Online: DQM is new to this space, especially in the west, so we have to wait and see. But the Raids in Pkmn SV were horrible, laggy, you couldn't even join half the time... At least DQM is trying something.
Glad you chose to give this another chance; I think DQM has so much to offer, especially to those who are new to it, or getting tired of Gamefreak/Pokemon phoning it in.
More of a meh, nothing new type of thing.
Phoning it in? Why do Gamers constantly have to imply nefarious attitudes towards devs they know nothing about?
Okay now I'd consider getting the game, but I foresee it'll go on discount sometime next year so I'll buy it then.
I respect what you're doing here although you had some very valid criticisms. There's some great gameplay mechanics in the game, but that doesn't excuse the poor graphics and performance, and doesn't excuse the day 1 DLC either. From the standards of any outsider, the game has a decidedly weak presentation early on. It just happens to be one of those games that gets better over time, as you get more involved in the synthesis mechanics, and reach the more interesting story beats. For fans of the DQM series, I'd even say this game would be a 9/10 despite its' flaws.
I think the only thing that was an issue from your previous video on this game was not calling it a first impression. There wasn't anything that you really needed to apologize for.
it was basically a lets me complain about nothing video.
@@zeosummers3984 I wouldn't go that far.
There were some points that I think were legitimate criticisms like in the frame rate and the graphics being kind of off.
@@ozloner8777 he should have left it at that. he went on a rant about it not being another game and many other unnecessary things. do you have anything else to say about that or will you just pick the 1 legit thing and forget everything else.
@@zeosummers3984 I think the use of comparisons with another game were kind of unavoidable and a sort of a rookie mistake but like I said in the beginning comment, the only fault that I see him do is not calling his previous video on it as first impressions but even it wasn't worth apologizing for.
Also, what's with the hostilities on the last part there? I wasn't antagonizing you, I just have an indifferent take on what he put out.
@@ozloner8777 you're making excuses. it wasn't just a simple comparison, it was full complaining it wasn't pokemon, it wasn't xenoblade, i wasn't zelda. he apologize because he wasn't being unprofessional . i can tell you'll be okay if someone costly lies to you as long as there is 1 truth insignificant thing in there. i'm antagonistic because you can't see just how bad that last video was. i guess it's just pretty hard for people like you to see the whole picture i bet you can't even guess the problems i have with this video.
Thanks, I was confused when I heard the comments on this one. Long time fan of this series. Played them since 1st gameboy game.
Why apologize? Because you didn't play it in a very specific manner (down to installation location)? Bruh first impressions are first impressions. Maybe you should have play a few more hour but its fine.
Was gonna comment the same thing. It's kinda hard to trust reviewers when they can just go back on their word.
@@RapboYGTreviewing a game wrong can turn people away from a game and damage game sales and cause any devs to abandon future projects he is doing the right thing the game has its flaws but it didn’t deserve a bad take.
@@germainetaylor1757 it was his take though. Why even review games if a different take is just considered wrong
Because his "first impressions" were garbage. You don't review a game after barely an hour of playtime. Dude didn't even get out of the first area and it shows. He didn't even test things, if he'd done any experimentation whatsoever he'd have known you can give orders to your monsters. It's literally called "orders". And yet he tells his viewerbase that your monsters are completely automated and you can't control what they do, which is absolutely not the truth. It's NOT fine. These games are masterpieces and deserve a lot more recognition than they currently have, and reviews like the one he made do nothing but hurt these games' chances of getting more popular so us fans don't have to go 10+ years without another entry.
OJ has said many times he can tell a game’s quality just from pre-release footage. Not a surprise he’d think he can review after a few hours.
Indeed you were wrong i having a fantastic time with this game since day of launch
Don’t see SMT or pokemon. I see monster hunter stories. Looks like fun. Didn’t see the first vid but there’s no need to apologize for a first impressions video. But good job on holding yourself accountable. Always enjoyed your vids 👍🏼
First impressions likely shouldn't include telling people it's not worth full retail price.
@@NuiYabuko maybe. But I did say I didn’t see the first video. To be fair.. a creator can come up with whatever opinion they want after playing for 5 minutes lol. It’s ultimately up to us to do something with that information.
@@bobmcbobg1696 So you'll just excuse not doing proper research?
@@bobmcbobg1696 so you have no idea what he did and is saying it's ok. wow. i need a friend like you who will hide the body and take the blame.
I really respect this video and the ownership. While I don’t think it’s wrong to have your own take, going back revising your opinions upon further reflection takes guts too.
It’s all good bro. First impressions are first impressions but I can understand if you were incorrect and factually wrong on gameplay aspects it’s important to give the right information when it comes to that. Appreciate the honesty, and main thing is u want people to know they can trust what you say.
I like that game!
I think the mechanics are so awesome and I love that it's connected to DQ4 and you play pisaro. They do this kind of stuff often like you play as/with malroth/sidoh in DQB2. The only downpart is the horrific performance and the grahics. People talked about N64 graphics for pokemon games as a joke but this here has so bad texture quality it could REALLY be out of an N64 game plus the bad performance...how could thst happen? I don't understand it. DQ games on switch look and run so good, look at DQ11S, DQB2 or even DQ treasures..
I’ll give this a shot. I’d also really like some updates on DQ 12
Im glad you apologized. I thought about getting it with my nintendo voucher. But it wasent on there even still the oast dragon quest games on there. I might just wait till it comes to steam or ps5 seeing how bad the performance. Hopefully in a year or so. Waiting on more reviews
I have never seen so many people defend this game. I love your opinions, OJ. Don't worry, dude!
My boy OJ came out with the public apology camera angle 😭😂
I really disliked it when I started. The long cutscenes, graphical downgrade compared to other DQ titles on the switch, and the frame drops just weren't it for me. The difference in gameplay was also pretty surprising. After I started playing it a bit more, I got used to it, and started having fun. Its not as good as 11 or Builders, but it aint bad.
I wonder, if the cel shaded graphics are by design - maybe it's not the star attraction - the main focus. Breath of The Wild has that cel shaded look
I do agree, that graphics are dated, liminal, could do with more details, etc
Understandable
Reviews come with the content
It's one thing to like or not like a game, it's another thing, if the game doesn't work, is unplayable, etc
If a game is either bad, or is not
Enjoyable; it will definitely reflect on a Review
I completely get it, when you want your content, videos, reviews, etc - to be positive
I've played lot of games; with a horrible 1st impression - like NO.
DIS SUX. NO MORE
At times, it's when you haven't had the time to get accustomed
Only to come back to that game, feeling more focused, taking time to understand the game - & it ends up being better than I initially thought
It is very undercooked. I played the demo and lot of frame dropa and bad quality. Tge gamrplay looks solid but no kore than that. I hooed for a mix between smt 5 and pokemon and is not neither.
I think i would buy it if 60%discount or more
Xenoblade dragon quest. Why player essence. U is one of the best UA-camrs. This game is just monster Hunter dragon quest. Grindy and fun.
If all due respect if you're saying that it wasn't a great video and then it was filled with errors and issues and that you're not proud of it then why is it still up?
Like I'm not saying that you should have to apologize or even make this video but it just seems like you're only doing it to get more clicks and revenue
It's still up because he doesn't want to cover up his mistakes before he released this video he said at the end he might private the video later
@@isaiahnova1912 I mean there's nothing to really cover up LOL it's a video game. It's honestly not that big of a deal and based off of what I seen with this guy's content I'm not really surprised this happened.
@@yohinotyoshi5378 wait so this happens a lot. i only seen this and the last DQM video. figures.
@@isaiahnova1912 if he didn't want to cover up his mistake he wouldn't make this video.
@@zeosummers3984 I just meant that I only recently discovered his channel and in a lot of his videos he basically just talks in circles and doesn't really say anything about anything and when he does talk about stuff it's very surface level, almost as if you'd only played the game for like 20 minutes. That's what seems to have happened here where he didn't play the game properly and got a lot of things wrong, I'm getting major Dreamcastguy vibes haha
Great review 💯
Meant to be portable - that's part
Of the DQM charm, since Game Boy
I love the game but you are allowed to have your own opinions. Don't worry.
Great video, OJ! I appreciate the updated info.
The backpaddle is too real, lmao
I grew up playing DQMJ 1 and 2, and honestly, I couldn't care at all on the graphics of these games
Good on you admitting when you are wrong i respect that.
Own it and am loving it!
Long time DQM fan here. The game is a ton of fun, a ton of depth, as is usual for dragon quest monsters games.
That said, it's far from perfect. The frame rate issues are extremely noticeable, even if they dont ruin the overall experience for me, they might bother others more.
The music is dragon quest. DQ music has always been pretty similar from entry to entry and that's part of what makes it so iconic. That being said most of the music is straight up recycled from previous DQM games, with little to no improvement in quality, or even changes in the arrangements.
The story is novel in concept, playing as the villain from dq4. But in my opinion far too much of it is told in long strings of cutscenes. That, combined with the fact that every location is traveled to via portal, really makes the world seem less cohesive than even older games in the series.
Speaking of older games in the series, theres a ton of features from battle, synthesis, and in general that are straight up missing from this game compared to earlier titles, things like plus ranks in synthesis, monster synthesis quizzes, giant and massive size monsters, etc. In general there was always something new being introduced every few hours of gameplay in previous titles. Something new you could do or some new way to synthesize. But in this game I've been playing about 40 hours, roughly half way through the story, and nothing new has been added after gaining the ability to synthesize. Some of these things might be available in post game but so far they are MIA
I still love the game, but it's missing a lot of features which is odd seeing as it's the first non-handheld entry in the series. So it should be bigger, not smaller than previous titles.
You shouldn't have apologized, if you ask me. Besides, if folks are in their feelings about a first impression video, that's their problem🤷🏿♂️
Dragon Quest Monsters3は日本では殆ど売り切れて無くなってますね
みんなモンスターが大好きなんですよ
W take
I think your first video is still fine from a first impressions viewpoint, people might get upset but if a game makes a poor first impression to new players, then it does. It's good to hear that it gets better as you go and that you can set it up to make that first impression better, but that video still has value, imo. But I'm glad it's a pretty good game afterall, I'm excited to play it.
It doesn't get better as it goes if you don't play on docked... He was talking about his expectations being different and the game not being that... That's why people have different preferences
@@shahriarmohammadsoukhin6467 I wasn't talking about docked visuals, I was talking about the game picking up once you get past the slow start.
@@jqwright28 maybe I don't even notice these things cause it doesn't matter that much
Audio makes a huge difference for me. I’m patient, but if I am annoyed by a voice for a period of time I will quit a game. Funny is that’s not always the character who is purposefully annoying that bugs me.
That was definitely a bad take 👎! It was a great game
Herad about Dragon warrior monster?
great video
Why they wasting budget on spin off. They should just release dq8 in pc or maybe remaster it.
hi OJ
It’s like a IGN review lol. All good don’t stress out.
how can your 1st impressions be wrong?
By spouting misinformation.
I think part of why you had such a bad first impression is because separate instruction manuals are all but a thing of the past. From what you're demonstrating, the game definitely seems like it was made for those already familiar with DQ in general and DQM in specific… which is damned near all of Japan given how much they'd always worshipped the franchise. Foreigners? Eh, eff 'em. Except for the English translation/localization for a better medieval Euro-esque feel. So newcomers are not going to get an easy grip on the game at first, especially when giving separate orders is a separate option from the usual "Fight" option contrary to not just what you get in other RPGs, including mainline DQ, but sheer intuitiveness. And using "Orders" in English as opposed to "Commands" kind of makes it sound like it would just have you change party member or turn order. I'm sure the Japanese is a bit clearer on that front at least.
Speaking of languages-pun entirely accidental-Japanese is typically spoken more softly than English, so even if you can't understand the former, it'll generally sound less annoying, but also at times "underacted", even if the acting quality for both English and Japanese is technically the same. Part of that is to put emphasis on Japanese's pitch accenting, but it also has to do with how the language was traditionally used in a secretive way to make it hard for foreigners to interpret considering how distrusting the Japanese were (and a good deal of older Japanese still are) of "gaijin", literally meaning "outsiders", back then. So pick what you like, but understand that English will likely be the "canon" language even if the canon _meanings_ are generally more likely to be in the original Japanese writing.
Agreed on the frame rate problems, though. Did they hire programmers from Game Freak?! Choppiness AND overcranked LODing for modeling AND animation when the detail level is already low?! DQ may be deliberately retro-styled, but that shouldn't mean it should be running like an old man. Nor should the TV experience be treated like a mere bonus.
I'd like to see the world in which Japanese VO is "underacted".
@@NuiYabukoI meant "underacted" as in it _sounds underemoted_ to a native English speaker not accustomed to Japanese, not that Japanese voicework is literally bad in general. Basically, English tends to use pitch and stress a lot for emphasis while Japanese depends far more on grammar for that and especially sounds largely monotone because it uses pitch accent to distinguish between what would otherwise by homonyms-the "three hashi" is an infamous example as that word can mean "chopsticks", "bridge" or "edge" depending on whether the first, second or neither syllable is accented. This may have come about because the Japanese had historically been about hiding or suppressing their true feelings to avoid dire consequences of pissing off someone, especially a superior which could've meant death in the feudal days, and also to keep foreigners from knowing too much and thus potentially "corrupting" and dismantling Japanese society as I mentioned last time, and it's become ingrained into the language since. The point is if you assume all vocal emoting is pretty much like in English, Japanese may leave you a bit underwhelmed, and vice versa even though the speech from the native perspectives is perfectly fine. It's an issue that marred the English dub of Metroid: Other M as Yoshio Sakamoto wanted the English VAs to copy the delivery of the Japanese lines-for example, having Samus in English sound just as monotone as she does in Japanese to communicate coolheadedness, not understanding that native English speakers typically regard vocal monotony as utterly emotionless and stereotypically robotic.
TL;DR native Japanese speech inherently emotes less intensely than native English speech and that's not any sort of knock against either language or their typical acting.
Yeah bro that video was bunk. Game is pretty good.
Please watch this full video if you can
does the demo build the same as the launch build? demo game is horrible
Atleast your a man about it.
The silly thing is that the graphics are fine its not the developers fault its the switchs outdated weak graphics card if it had better graphics it would run like scarlet and violet
OJ you can make mistakes and not like something it’s okay

A man who can't admit when he is wrong isn't a man
@lucette55why would the door do that? is the door possessed?
Respect man!
For me the problem with graphics is not the graphics itself..but the colours placement on the environment..it's just feels wrong for some reason..i don't know why.. overall is just fun game for dragon quest fan like me...good video oj 👍
The duality brother, I thought it looked how it should for a dragon quest game
It’s the use of purple and pink with green it looks way too pastel dark colors seem almost absent the primary colors need to be re worked the sharpness is way to high but it doesn’t ruin the game it just takes getting used to also the the default camera angle should be changed it’s zoomed in a little to close
I think the colours might be a little oversaturated, like they pop out too much in areas.
Aww man 👀🍿
