This. I got a 30 tokens, built them up a bit with poker, before moving onto the slots at around 100 tokens. Used the green slots until I had around 250, then went to the far right slot. It is easier to use it if you open the menu and hit the examine command. That way you don't accidentally talk to the guy.

Hit my first 777 jackpot. Up to 4749 tokens now. About a third of the way to my goal of 15000.

I returned to the castle and they're off to the 'forbidden' area

Let me guess, the one tucked behind the bed in the back of the Weapon Merchant's house? That one drove me bonkers.
Yeah, it's kind of hard to look at. I wish there was an instant text option instead of the scrolling.
And man, the way to Alltrades is an uphill battle. I thought I could finally test a few costumes before going to bed,
but no... More dungeon
It's weird, I've been playing this game so hard, the job system is starting to feel like the reward for "beating" the game, even though it still goes on for many hours after that point. But it definitely feels like a big halfway point.
To be honest, I actually like that. It feels like a big thing. Especially after
taking all your spells and abilities away for a few hours

So MIDI. I like it overall, but some of the instrumentation kind of bothers me. The trumpet sound kind of reminds me of GBA-era Pokemon games... just sounds a little too HONKy.
Maybe something to do with trademarks?
I've been wondering about that since Dragon Quest IX. It seems to only be with Nintendo published DQs as the SE published Dragon Quest Heroes and Builders both use the sword as a T.

Her spells outside of SAP aren't super useful. Personally I prefer having a bit more for Heal on the hero. But yeah generally it's best to min/max this kind of thing and choose specializations, and then assign seeds accordingly.
Maribel learns heal too.
God damn Alltrades Abbey...
I literally deliberated for 30 mins on what vocation I'd have my characters choose then that turns out to be a trap...
...Then the revelation that you no longer have your skills or abilities makes it a really tough bit of gameplay considering how much you go through before getting them back (also, my first true party wipe in the game). At least now I can sweep hordes with Bang and Ruff's wolf abilities now. Still not finished with it though.

But it's pretty late, level 10 is quite a ways into the game. Not much later at level 12 the Hero gets Midheal... which is way more useful by that point.
I think it's still useful though.
She seems to have an higher action priority, so if you're in a pinch, need to get a heal off and can't just use an item - she's your girl. Just because she's more likely to get it off, where as sometimes the MC ends up taking his turn after the boss so they could die in the process.
Heal is still useful for a long time after learning midheal. Wasting one of the hero's turns to heal in battle is not worth the boost in healing that midheal provides IMO. So far I've only used it outside of battle.
Falrod's story was one of my favorites in the original game and still is today. 
The next story
is another one of my favorites. I can't wait to start that one.
Zebbot's story is so touching. I'm so happy that they kept it intact in the remake.

Yuuuup. I could've sworn I checked everywhere.

By that point I'd rather just load her up with herbs, they're cheap and I won't run out of precious sap MP. Or that rock once you get to Alltrades... just spam that every single turn during boss battles.

Do you need more than one of a single type of monster heart? I have about 7 slime hearts. I assume I can use them for something later?
You have to place the monster heart into the inventory of the party member you wish to change to that monster class. So you need as many hearts as you have party members whom you would like to be that monster at the same time.
Is it worth using a guide to make sure I get all the tiny medals, or would you recommend going through blind? I've played the first couple hours blind so far, but I've heard some of those are hard to find and/or missable. Sorry this is the 2nd time I've asked this kind of question, but I keep going back and forth.

When abouts can you use monster classes? I don't even have normal vocations unlocked yet.

Made it up through Emberdale... so far, so good! It's really nice to just pick the game up a little bit every day and make some progress. I think the vignette style is going to be really well suited for that style of play.

You can use all Vocations you have unlocked including any Monster Hearts you may have at the time as soon as you finish the Alltrades Abbey quest line.

Thanks! I'm still 9 or 10 hours a way going by some posts in here.
Can you permanently screw up vocations by the way? Like do you have to pick and choose what abilities you want or do you just have them as long as that vocation is equipped?

My goal of 15000 tokens has been reached. It is to late to continue onward this evening, so I shall continue to play the slots some more to see if I can win more.

Class levels are linear. It's basically impossible to fuck up. You can pick inefficiebt paths, but everything will always be unlockable.
Why do we not get the Sword T, anybody know why they change that?

If its like the psx version, animations unlock the more of that monster you kill.

While the slots aren't as interesting as before, the lucky panel has been improved, with all the pairs being prizes now.
Sometimes they're invisible, most often in wells or at gravesites so it doesn't hurt to look them up. I wouldn't bother until you actually unlock the medal king though and there's no real need to ever look ahead unless you hate backtracking since I believe there's excess medals so even if some are missable you shouldn't get too screwed over.
I just remembered something. I forgot about the
story (another favorite of mine) so I guess I'm not going to see
just yet.
I love how consistent the quality of the vignettes in this game are. The only one I didn't care too much for in the original game was probably the last one.

Can't stand the non English accents. Having random Italian words and stuff gets annoying.

Would it be worth it to get a 2ds just to play this game?

Yeah, I feel that this game was made to be played like that. I can't think of any game that is more suited for that kind of play style than this one.
Of course this game is also really fun to play in long sessions as well.
I think I heard Nintendo thought it looked too childish.
I think they need to stuff it.
Just hit transfer and hover over the characters name. You don;t need to actually place it into someones inventory unless you want to equip it. It will give you a prompt to equip it as soon as you lace it in their inventory so you don't need to back out and go to a different menu.
There is a level location cap, so for instance at my current location only Ruff is leveling his class at 21 and my others not at all at 23 so somewhere between 22-23 I will stop being able to class level in this area.
this goes on until the last leg of the game
which is still sizable but a small part of this humongous gam

It's uh... really easy to accidentally buy things in shops. As many menus as this game makes me go though it's not going to give me "Are you shure you want to purchase yes/no?"
Loving the game in general but between that and menu slowness I'm like plz god patch this. Was the JP game like this?

Ok, I posted on the logo earlier, but I dug up the source on where the T change was explained:
I guess SE's willing to try any stupid thing to make the series take off in NA, but I really, REALLY doubt the sword was that off putting, and it was part of the charm and a reason returning to the original name was nice, so to turn around and axe it at random beyond the Sword game is kind of frustrating.

When do banks pop up? I just got Ruff and I have 7k in gold, everyone has highest armor, and I know with DQ games I emd up dieing and losing it all.
Finally able to spend some time with this. I made it to the Dharma Temple in the original (played it about a year ago for the first time), and the remake news caused me to wait a bit to play it.
Finished up Balloymalloy (past), and it's as good as I remember. The little improvements are definitely a nice touch. Gonna finally beat this damn game, it's the only main line one that came stateside that I've not finished.

There's been one in Estard castle that's been available to you since pretty much the start of the game.
