Tip: Each character has an inventory.. if they dont have healing items in their inventory, they cant use them. Found this out the hard way, distribute your consumables!
This is a great tip!
Chris Nelson 😂😂 found that out years ago on dragon quest 8
Beginners to the series would not know this, though.
It's not displayed in 'press button form' but,
Say your selecting a characters items. Before clicking X to select individual items you can press TRIANGLE to transfer anything not equipped into your backpack.
Really helpful when they keep adding random crap to their inv. But you just want meds.
Another useful thing for when you hoard/farm stat seeds is that like in most of the old games, you can alchemize weapons/armor/accessories with them. Also, make certain that if you’ve already found a better piece of equipment to add on to your characters, then make sure you don’t sell older pieces if they can be used later to create new items that don’t have recipes yet.
Also try and talk 2 every NPC possible. Some of them just up and gives u helpful items totally out of the blue such as recipes for weapons, armour & accessories. They give u good info too. Also have some fun and use ur spells & abilities, use all ur mana, go crazy and then just refresh at camp site's. It's free of charge 💸🛎😆
If you save people from monsters (such as soldiers), you might get items by talking to the soldiers afterwards
Also, starting weapons (not to be sold) reworked to +3 are generally better then the next 1-3 weapons available.
omfg i didnt know about the sparkly spot feature on the map. i've been wasting time checking every pixel in my screen
Hope it saves you a bunch of time!
I still remember finding items that way from Dragon Quest 9 and it was sparkle central all the time in that game.
I feel like I probably spent too much time collecting early on when you can just buy a missing ingredient when crafting.
@@fuegobay i didn't know , it will save me so much time as i love the forging part of the game
I didn’t even know you could sprint until 15 hours in
You can't in the japanese version
@@JM-vl3cy What's the sprint button?
@@GameoftheYear-fx4mq one of the triggers (right one I think but I don't remember)
Same here man😂
Im big on final fantasy, will be buying this game(1st dragon quest game since the original Gameboy) when it comes out on the switch in Sept.
Thanks for this! Been playing it and really enjoying it so far. I didn't get into earlier DQ games but I did love VIII on PS2. So far its amazing. The cafting is fun too
Also wanted to say that as soon as I started playing it my first thought was 'I bet anamana loves this haha'
It's been so much fun so far! Struggling to balance time between this and the new Destiny 2 expansion haha!
@@AnamanaCh Have the same problem with a few games and DLC that have been released recently haha
Running over enemies does give xp, I checked by looking at my xp before I ran over something and after, it increased by a small amount, depending on how far strong the enemy is
(This is only in the definitive edition I believe)
Another good beginner tip to to know how to use the respec option that the statue gives. This also means you can respec at will, for a very small fee to try out different builds and weapon types.
I did not know, that your map can actually show those sparkly spots.
Thats so easy xD
Im really glad they took out random battles. Only thing I couldn't stand about 8
When you get water travel, there’s random battles there! But they’re very well paced.
They got rid of the random encounters on the 3DS remake of 8. Still is a great game.
@@AnamanaCh I like the random sea battles. They make the game more dynamic.
I subbed to your channel. Love the game so far. I subbed mainly because you referenced lufia! Love lufia and lufia 2. Best rpg games ever haha. Great video man. VERY informative.
Great stuff! Thanks!
Yo, Pep mode is amazing. Very shortly after you get the forge you fight a, I feel like mini boss is the right term, called Tricky Devil (I wouldn’t call it a spoiler, you learn about him then fight him all in like 5 minutes) and because I had my Pep ability up I used it to see what it did. Real Decoy got 2 crits and one shot him. So that was amazing.
I’ve been researching and playing this game for a good while, yet I didn’t know what the bank was for. Thanks for the tip :)
I usually skip over banks in RPGs, but this is a good use of them.
@@AnamanaCh my rule is never trust a bank
Thank you! Very helpful!
+1 for the Lufia reference.
Banking tip was very useful, thanks mate.
Finally get to play this game for free
Good it’s fun
Xbox game pass? Right
@@nagitokomaeda4316 yea
@@mander097 I knew it was on it so I didn't buy it because it was on xbox game pass
we cheap ass players
You should have mentioned with Pep/Pep Powers that waiting until one of the characters you wanna use the Pep Power with is blinking before using the Power, that way you don't waste the extra stat boosts from being in Pep
That’s what comment tips from people like you are for. 😅 my guides are the most basic tips to get people into the game.
Can you stop/control a character from going pep?
No you cant control but if you swap them out they wont go into Pep though thats kinda counter productive. Once they go into Pep and if you have enough party member unlocked you can swap them out while they are in Pep and they will never lose it as long as they arent in the battle.
dude thx for the sprakly spots... missed this option on the menus, like the hard mode .. lol
No worries! Found this early on and it's been very useful.
magic beast hides, use them for making fur poncho, uses 2, cost is 500g for each magic beast hide, if you do perfection on the forge it sells for 1440 gold and gives you 4 pearls each time you make one poncho
Been a long term Final Fantasy fan. Taking my first step in the Dragon Quest world. Definitely enjoying it so far
Thanks. I will try this myself. I played rebirth, then 12 again and wasn’t sure what to play next since I played all the recent final fantasy titles.
@@MK-fm3ln yea its definitely a must play in my opinion especially if u enjoy a good turn base game. Story is solid, and the characters are great. The voice actors do a more than decent job. It's got all that you'd really look for in a jrpg
Thanks mate 🤙
That last one I learned the hard way lol
OH!!! That's how you use the bank! I was wondering what it was for. That's so awesome!
Avarice Shadow In Dragon Quest 7 3ds, I mostly used the banks to stockpile gold I’d need to guy recipe items that cost more later down the line. This especially helped when I needed to buy the same items in bulk, because a lot of characters in these games can use matching weapons and armor.
Great tips
Thanks 🙏
Cam someone give me a tip around having items on your character (medicine etc) or in the item bag? Where is best for world travel / in battles? Thanks.
Wow been playing for 20 hours never knew about the bank rip thousands of gold 😂
Get the switch game
Portability
Technical time travel by switching 2d & 3d so you can spam bosses for big xp and gold
Buy needed materials at the forge yo make good gear often at tidy profits
Truly portable forge
Theres your tips :)
Or just get it on PS4 where it looks better (I've owned both) for those that don't require portability...
Tyler B bought the game on pc recently for the better graphics. Instant refund, no amount of graphics can make up for all the content that’s in the switch version over the others :( made me sad sitting there playing it at 4k only to start again
@@aweigh1010 oh did the pc finally get the rest of the content they were missing?!
Wait whats that about technical time travel for bosses?
On my second play-through immediately after completing the post game.
This is my favorite game of all time.
There's just something wonderful about it... like a ray of sunshine hitting you in the bitter, cynical heart.
It's definitely a nice and breezy game. Something to play after a long day to unwind to.
I had that feeling with DQ 8 :) This one's nearly as good though :D
It reminds me of dragonball, the original one. Has that lighthearted, whimsical feeling.
@@randomcompdude Same artist as Dragonball which is awesome
I'm replaying it now and watching the opening cinematic just fills me with joy. Even though hero gets tossed down a river and it's sad, the art and colors just make me happy. Akira Toriyama does amazing things.
Do you advice turning on draconian quests for a new player? It's my first dragon quest game but I've played tons of others rpg
I understand you will earn some stats point while leveling up. Specific stats should I add for each characters ?
It really depends on what you want to do with the characters and who your main party is going to be. I don’t really do build guides, sorry.
I’m finally just downloading this game haven’t played a Dragon Quest since 8 on ps2
I always contemplate coming back to this game since I put it down after unlocking sailing and spending hours in the casino/never coming back to the game after. Idk what happened, but i feel like I'd have to restart if i came back since i have no clue where i was going/what i was doing, build and everything xD
I think it's normal for us gamers to sometimes get distracted by other games or life. But yeah same here kinda, I'll have to start over lol
I'm sorry but how does the MP=mana function work?
Check the items you pick up to see if they are usable (if not, probably meant for forging or selling). It's not just seeds that permanently improve stats. For instance, the "Pretty Betsy" increases your Charm attribute permanently
"Like Warp from Lufia" lmao, like how many people ehre even played that. It's a decent game and all, I just replayed Lufia 2 was random you describing it that way.
You'd be surprised. It's iconic.
the map is on the switch opend with y ,but i never realised that there is a mapmenu
lol first time in the game that i was maxed lvl99 and then checked tips hehe
The mount shiny stuff was actually explained in the game when trying to get Erik's orb.
So if someone doesn't know, they probably need to stop skipping the tutorial everytime 😂
Hello there I have the Dragon Quest XI La Nintendo game I have a few questions how do I get the bandana and clothes from game two on the menu to the name of the main character there is another menu if the letter X down on the bottom right down what exactly it is and what it gives waiting for an answer 😊
Never played a dragon quest game before. Is this a good game to start?
Its the best one by far
ok thanks
im still confused do you attack every mob on the world to level or what you do
Have Erik learn dual wield and steal.
I just started the game and that's exactly what I'm going for with him. Steal is always a good thing to have
Dual wield two knives???
i want to see you sream this game again :(
I might stream bits and pieces on my twitch. But, I won't be streaming it from start to finish.
Im new to RPG’s i’m playing this in ‘auto battle’ where it picks its own attacks and spells for the group. Question is this: will this make it hard to fight hard bosses later where the AI might not take i to account the weakness of the boss. Second question, how to know what a monster is weak to/ vulnerable to?
so can you enter a pep mode every battle if you try for it? or is it like final fantasy 9 trances, the thing everyone hated, where it happens basically when it wants to, even on trash mobs, and then you'll never have it available when you need it
It's different for every character, usually based on relationships between friends taking damage and their role in the party. I'm not very well versed in FF9 as it's my least liked game in the series. 😅
Yeah some how I can wear the DQ8 outfit and it doesn't show up on the character, like I turned it off but I can't remember how I did it.
This is my first Dragon Quest game. And I'm not used to play turn based games (it annoys me getting hit, or in the screen appears one and then in battle is a bunch). But aside of the Mario & Luigi games (which I never finished because I didn't know what an RPG was and how to level up), I have never played games with that system. And I have being playing the demo, and it feels since the beginning that this game is for people that know what they are playing, just like Elden Ring for Dark Souls (or Demon's Souls).
Because I don't remember every single item I take all the time.
Idk, I'm just hyped for the HD-2D Remake of Dragon Quest III, I and II. And I want to play the prequel.
Running over an enemy does provide xp, it will not give you a level up tho
Thank you im kinda intimidated by this game the only rpgs ive ever played are pokemon and earthbound and im not very good at videogames period
Question about gold: can I spend gold thats in the bank or do i have to withdraw it to use it. I was hoping to just keep my money in bank. I just dl this game other day and enjoying it alot
Where do you find these outfits 🤔🤔🤔
I'm late but I can help tho. When in an open area open up your menu.
Then select Misc.
After that go to system settings
Next go to "claim special rewards"
Then go to claim rewards
I have the switch version so I don't know if it's different
Are those the char from dqviii ?
I just got the Deluxe Edition for the switch I’m trying to figure out how to get the DLC outfits that supposed to come with it can someone help me?
Jeremiah Johnsen just go into the online switch shop it’s a free download
I'm so so so new to rpg games and I've only played final fantasy 7 , final fantasy 7 remake and octopath traveler.....the art design grabbed me and I decided to have a cheeky flutter on ebay!!! Bagged it for £8 new so here I am 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Hunt for iron slimes.
Emma Karch why? 🤔
@@daleowen46 The Metal Slime family, despite being rather annoying to kill (Huge defense, agility and flee rate), give HUMONGOUS EXP. Basic Metal Slimes give over 4000 each, and King Metal Slimes give about 100k.
Should’ve made it. 11 tips 😅😂
Can change. The turn base In combat play it like Monster Hunter Games
In the switch definitive addition you get up to 5 xp when running over monsters with your horse.
I have dragon quest ix for ds. I have replayed the game 3 times over many years, never finished bc it gets so terribly hard. Is it a mistake to have a minstrel a knight and two martial artists? I basically invest heavily in attack. Is it worth it to use other skills and types in this game?
You have no magic damage really. Or a dedicated healer/buffer. As long as you have a cleric and a mage . Any other comp is fine . A mage is always needed for the ridiculous damage output . And a dedicated healer for damage mitigation and the bad ass heals .
4 gladiators equals enemy dead in one turn
Did you ever get far enough to get the combo classes?
Quite the important tip you missed there, regarding the forge: when you get a new piece of equipment from a shop, you can also reforge it into a +3 item. This also goes for the supremely strong items that you can get from the Casino early game. Yes, i'm talking about that Greatsword that costs 100k tokens. You can also reforge it as a +3 weapon.
I can't choose skill in fight but auto attack
Horse kills *DO* get you xp, but its very little and even if you get enough to level up it wont happen untill the end of your next battle.
only in switch ver tho
@@lum1lad775 why would you buy it for anything else in 2019?
Because you don’t own a switch, obviously.
@@AnamanaCh if you dont own a switch why are you buying games? You have more inportent things to buy
Because people like to have choice and some prefer other platforms.
Im going to buy the switch version, they say its a lot better than the Ps4 versioj
Any tips on Puff Puff?
Yes XD to make sure do it's effect just raise the charm stat of the character (Jade) and have a good day!
you should have name him Harry the boy who lived
I didn’t know about zoom until 20 hours in the game..
You didn't pay attention to Veronica when she's guidin you how to zoom
I'm progressing through the game I've noticed that all the UA-camrs screen is different than mine when it comes to battles. For example it seems like everybody can pick the attack, mine just automatically does it for me how do I change that?
Go to the "Tactics" option during a battle and set everyone to "Follow Orders"
Yo I have the switch version and I don't/can't have the free dlc costumes. I go to the eshop and it says it's not available
Me neither. Probably it is because we did not buy the DELUXE version upon the release?
@@elenac7082 but like I thought only the deluxe version was on switch
@@jethiliusavalar6449 I bought digital version, during the sales. It was a normal Definitive edition, not Deluxe
@@elenac7082 oh. I honestly didn't think there was a deluxe edition and u made a typo lol
@@jethiliusavalar6449 Ah, pardon. English is not my mother tongue, u know, I am from Switzerland. Can you indicate where is the typo?
Is it online
I just started this game a day ago and I'm really enjoying it. I was really in the mood for a classic turn based JRPG and this is delivering. So far I like all the characters and designs. I'm just not sure I totally enjoy the music. It's pretty generic symphony stuff. And it's a bit too big and bombastic at times where there's nothing going on. I wish it had a calmer soundtrack I guess. It's just silly to be hearing a massive ensemble of brass and string instruments just walking down the road. So far that's my only gripe. The music.
I can't beat the 1st dragon !@
Do the harvest materials respawn over time??
Yes.
yes anytime you go to campfire rest or go in to town it resets good harvest gringing that way
Ok nice
Good to know. Going to pick it back up after i finish shadow of the tomb raider.
Definitely gonna grind this time
@@richardrabe7940 not exactly, some nodes like mining spots, tall grass, and trees take a little longer to respawn. usually warping 2 zones away and resting does the trick for those.
@@davidbowser3181
How far should you zone to in the start area
Grind is the only tip you need
i played zelda: breath of the wild, after some time, i lost interest and stopped playing. the same with xenoblade 2. looks like the only game series i always finished playing are the final fantasy sagas. is this game as good as final fantasy? will i lost interest in it after some times? do give me a few tips and heads up before i buy this game.
It’s just fun and laid back. While it’s very cliche and very standard as a JRPG, it’s not as extra and over the top as Final Fantasy can be. You’re getting a good, safe JRPG out of this game.
Learn to use Erik skills. He is the strongest character in the game by far
Can you change hairstyles
Algorithm has sent me here today
I think turning on draconic harder enemies gives the game meaning. Every new skill and hitpoint matters.
I did it on draconian and just got so stuck on a very late game boss. It so satisfying to beat something you've been stuck on but it gets brutal late game
@@joshjenkins6232 Definitly. Dora is one of my most hated bosses ever and she's not even late game, but still the one boss that made me consider turning down difficulty (for a weak short moment).
Dude
DUDEEEEEEEEEE
I NEED help with magic. I understand Fire is frizz but It the buff and debuff with HOW TO GET RID OF THEM THAT I NEED HELP
@@hanthemaa I'm talk about HOW TO GET RID OF DEBUFF
"if your talking about debuff hitting your party via an enemy casting it I think you can only just wait until it wears off :("
Your serious WAIT IT OFF. Will I guess there armor with resist now are more valuable
Every review so far has said “be sure to check everywhere” but tbh 8 hrs in and, yea there are the occasional box and or pot to brake but the reward has never justified the time spent looking. 99% of the scenery is just that. Scenery. Most homes/buildings turn out to have absolutely nothing in them other than beautiful plate setting.
You are barely into this game. You don't have to look around but you are missing out on a lot by not doing so. There are rare and exclusive rewards to be gained from turning in the mini medals you find exclusively in those pots and barrels you claim aren't worth the time, chests that are hidden just out of sight, and from quests. The mini medals are not farmable and there are a limited number of them. There are also bookshelves with recipes for crafting gear that is often better than what you can buy, and later on there are recipes for exclusive things that you cannot ever get elsewhere.
Well said, also, those random items add up and will make life easier in the long run.
@@jaycobsorrell1930 Actually not to take away from your comment but you CAN farm mini-medals by using Eric's steal ability on one of the slot-machine type monsters. There are some in the basement of the first post-game trial.
This game any good
@@jasondp3546 yes.
Everyone is raving about this game and I’m on the dragon quest hype as I’m playing builders and think this looks great.. the only thing that’s stopping me from getting it is the combat. Turn based has never been my thing, I like fast paced , real time action combat best and I’m just unsure whether I’d enjoy the combat here or find it a chore. Anyone with experience in this game have any help or opinions for me or did anyone feel the same going into it?
Maybe check out Dragon Quest Heroes 1 & 2, they’re based on the Musou series and are action based. But, if you don’t like turn based combat, why force it?
@@AnamanaCh Thanks I'll check them out and idk I quite want to try this game and maybe it could sway me to like the combat when I get it in my hands
It’s very simple compared to other turn based games, so that may be in your favor! Maybe cut your teeth on some older games with turn based to build up that taste in it?
Go into your settings and turn up battle speed! I’ve got mine on ultra fast lol
@@michaelmiller3365 I love how your response is 2 years later when back then I was considering these games and now I have DQ 11, DQ Heroes 1+2 and DQ Builders 1+2 lol, love the series!
Bought this game today on a whim and have put 4 hours into it so far. It's the game Zelda BOTW wished it was.
Can't really compare the two at all. One's an Action RPG series and the others Turn Based. Both are great games for different unrelated reasons.
@@AnamanaCh They share plenty in common.
@@tylerb2438 A fantasy world? An inventory? That's really it.
Animal Crossing is the game Total War : Three Kingdoms wished it was
Loosing half your money isn't funny. Why you nervous laughing old chap?
The only thing that I hate about dragon quest 11 is you don’t fight with your sword the game does it itself the story is good if there were no trophies I wouldn’t play it twice in other dragon quest games you can fight and control the characters
i know it's been awhile but you can change the ai behavior in the misc. menu to allow you full control of the characters
But you do fight with your sword. And you can control the characters.
Only thing that bothers me is that party members don't appear when your exploring but suddenly show up in combat. Ruins the immersion
that's in the switch version
Hitting enemies with your horse DOES get you experience, just not very much. You get like 1-4 XP per enemy run over
In the grand scheme of things, basically nothing.
First tip, play on the hardest difficulty
The hat is important. His hair annoys the hell out of me. If only I can do something about the fact that he’s a silent character tho.
The game is too easy.
I finished octogonia tournament and except a few attacks that removed 3/4 of my hp, I never died.
i think theres something you should cover that you didnt. i quit the game and threw it in the trash because dungeons are terrible. it feels like you cant finish dungeons in 1 run and that feels absolutely awful.
Uh, this isn’t a tip, nor would it be helpful to anyone.
You are just bad then, not being able to complete dungeons in 1 run, I am able to clear it, no problem at all, and this is why you always go in prepared LUL
Lmfao 😂 😂
Chiiikane!🌹
I’m sorry you are bad at video games
This game so easy you need none of that.
