I find myself replaying this game over and over again even though there are tons of newer DQ games out, cool to see a speedrun just to know what I could do more optimally
Spent a couple of days watching through this entire speedrun, and it was totally worth the time! That said, 2020 certainly had it rough throughout the run 😂
I mean when i played this game i never felt the need to take crack but now that you mention it , not a bad way to play this game , thanks fot the advice !
There is just something about watching speedruns that makes watching normal walkthroughs feel slow. Its like watching the same game you played back then finished under half the time of how long you played.
27:20 I am like 99% sure if you run in a tight circle you can run out of the range of following enemies and not have to encounter them. Haven't seen the rest though, maybe he actually does it
This game is such an amazing throwback to my childhood. I even bought a 2nd copy a few years ago just to be able to start a new game and still keep all of the online content. Edit: Just bought a used DS lite yesterday to play it again. Unfortunately my DS isn't in a good condition anymore and I couldn't find a charger :D
Does anyone have a reliable source to check on how to do the manipulation to spawn the metal slime and the metal medley? I can't seem to find it anywhere online :/
He starts talking about it in 5:57:00 and stops talking about it about 6:03:00 But do not go into enough detail for the information to be useful or factual.
probably works best with map manipulation on slime hill if you're already through the main storyline. found this post that has most of the details gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/937281-dragon-quest-ix-sentinels-of-the-starry-skies/56916246 essentially the bottom-most map in your inventory can manipulate spawn seeds
I used the liquid metal slime farm spot a ton, got it down so that I was getting it almost every time. But then I finished the game and tried to go back and now it's spawning another statue second instead of the liquid metal slime. Do I need to do something different in the end game? Very frustrated because I didn't finish in the regular game, losing desire to keep playing if I can't figure this out.
A remake would be nice, but I would love a port to mobile at the very least. Dragon Quest 9 already has the touch controls from being on the DS. It just needs that to be adapted for use on mobile.
I'm only here for the first boss fight against Hexagoon (around 35 minutes into the video) just to see what level the Hero is. I've beaten the 'Goon at level 2 which required a lot of RNG and was probably too slow for a speedrun but my thought process was, maybe, the speedrun might've beaten it at level 1, avoiding the slower random battles. I'm convinced a level 1 Hero beating 'Goon is possible but I have yet to accomplish this (I'm also not a hardcore player, so I could be wasting my time on this). I'm only curious because my OCD of the Hero being a higher level than the rest of my party drives me insane; I want all four party members to level up equally because I'm weird and very specific.
Someone, or some group, is maintaining the DQVC servers. There's guides on youtube but all you do is add a custom DNS on your DS WiFi settings to an unsecured connection (I find it easier to use my phone hotspot than disable my router security). You can use that to get daily DQVC updates, the DLC quests, and the inn residents.
This has one of the best stories in the series, I'm so glad to see his as a speed run! :D
8,9, and 11 have all been masterpieces in my opinion. It's hard for me to say which one i like better.

Oh cool, he's got 2020 vision.

I could grind vocations and treasure maps in this game all day! I still play it after all these years
i haven't seen this game since i played it 10years ago, thank you for being awesome at it and the nostalgia!!

Run starts at 4:22
until today I didn't know that egg on had 2 different animations
dependant on what I can only assume is the gender of the hero

"Under half" is an understatement lol I spent at least ten times as long completing this awesome game!

Yeah you can. I’m amazed how well this guy has the whole run planned out yet doesn’t know that

I still play it and it is still a great game

This game looks amazing on the DSi XL
2 similarily timed runs from 2 channels in 1 month of each other? This game is like 10 years old, right?
Yep

it was nice to watch, but i was sleeping so many times.

Does playing as the heroine save time due to gender specific armour, or do you just prefer her?
So wait, when you talk to the assistant priest at Alltrades Abbey, is it faster to just say "No" to his question or to talk to him twice?
how to record nds?
peepeepoo poo pee poo
1:52:30 BRUH
This would work as an online offline game that has both options
Wow cool gameplay man! I just came back to this game after playing Octopath Traveler.
Btw what emulator did you use for this?
Google 3DS capture and follow the link for DS capture. He uses original hardware with video capture card installed.
Its a shame ds internet is down because the legacy armour it gives you looks like it would save a lot of time in this run

Dragon Quest 9 is better when it comes to legacy boss ask will for getting 5 star equipment early game by doing grotto
58:09 🤔
gg
1:38:30 xDD if he would have died
These graphics do not hold up. Jesus is that ever compressed.
considering the 192p resolution it’s actually pretty good although a remake on newer hardware would be amazing
This game is so bad. Has 0% of DQ essence.
wtf
