Are the drops in framerates normal? It is really noticable...

Yes, they're normal. You can hack it with an Action Replay or go down to a 3-man party if it's bothering you excessively.Melhisedek said:

What does action replay do? I mean what cheat should I use?
Melhisedek said:
There's a bunch of really useful "cheats" that help overcome some problems. Mejilan recommended:
- Instant text speed. This applies to pretty much everything-- towns, battles, chests, books/barrels. It drastically improves the overall game speed.
- Only lead character is shown. Members 2~4 will still be in your party, it just won't display them on the map screen, which keeps the framerate stable.
- Manipulating the # of tags the game thinks you've received.
There's also some that basically unlock all of the things you'd have to wait for overtime through the DQVC services, like the quests and cameos that unlock every other week. Some people might like that sort of code, but I think the DQVC update system is pretty cool as is. Just not the tag requirements in a country with about ~10% of the population density of Japan in a game that will sell about 10% as many copies (or less, in all likelihood).
Whatever site or program you'd use with an Action Replay has the codes, which are slightly different between versions of the game. Some of them (like the party member one) are 10+ lines.

I kind of quit playing for a while because I got Dragon... Age, but I turned on the DS yesterday and ended up playing from about 4pm to 2am.

Anyone going to the Best Buy events in Manassas or Fairlakes Virginia? I'm conflicted about going since I promised my family that I'd drive up to PA to see them (2.5-3 hour drive). I planned on leaving at 11:00 but I see the best buy event starts at 12:00. I kind of want to go if by chance there was a way to get the masayuki or kawasaki maps. Of course getting my 30 tags requirement would be also nice. I don't know if I just want to buy a flashcart to load saves onto to get the maps....
Slime Shield and Slime Crown are supposed to be possible store items this week. Check back each day to see if you can get em.Melhisedek said:
Also, I can't believe I only just realized that skill points transfer over when changing classes. I would have spent points on getting more 100's on my hero instead of spending on weapons I wouldn't use for a while.

Damn, I missed the summer shades then? ;___;
Oh well.
Oh well.
I know with my game my warrior would go after the KHS already went. So yeah I could kill it, but it would still heal the boss for ~1,000HP before my kill. Little frustrating.botticus said:
I'm going to the best buy event in Roanoke, Va., mentioning even though I doubt anyone here is in the area. Unless I find a better map between now and then I will be sharing my treasure map with the moai minstrels in it. Took me forever to find them, so hopefully it will help out people who are into the post game.

Damn 2% drop rates. I've been trying to get the
legacy boss map to drop, but have not been met with any luck. Trekking 16 floors through the grotto to only get a Yggdrasil leaf sucks

So you actually can do that? I asked a couple people on another site that before and they said it wasn't possible and that you had to start a whole new game for each tag.Segata Sanshiro said:
This will make things so much quicker since my friend just bought his copy yesterday. (With a healthy amount of peer pressure from myself.
)Time to break out the Hoimi table perhaps? I don't really want to have to rely on that, but for a completionist as myself I can't really afford to fight the same grotto/legacy bosses a dozen+ of times for just one item since there are so many.Easystride said:Damn 2% drop rates.

So in the off-chance that nobody shows up the same time as me at the best buy thing tomorrow - the map they hand out is considered a tag right? Could I just delete the best buy tag and then get retagged by them over and over?
If that was an option I could definitely see myself standing there for however long it takes just to unlock all the inn, I'm such a completionist sometimes. :lol

Yeah, the maps at the events count as tags from what I gather.Koomaster said:

to go back into the Starlight Express. In the back of the train there is a door that can't be opened. It says there is no keyhole or something to that effect and it can't be unlocked/opened. What opens it? I sat around one day actually performing party tricks in front of it thinking that would work and no dice. Has anyone opened it yet?

Sorry to quote this again, but I just tried this out and it doesn't seem to be working. I tagged and deleted my friends character a total of 8 times and my inn still hasn't been upgraded. The first upgrade is supposed to be after 7 tags I believe.Segata Sanshiro said:
I tried leaving the inn and returning and nothing. I even saved and shut off my game and went back and still no upgrade. Are you sure you can get the upgrades by retagging the same person, or does it have to be 30 unique tags?

This is the list of the upgrades for the inn that I've found circulating on the web:zigg said:
7 tags - Second floor
13 tags - Second floor expansion
19 tags - Third floor
25 tags - Third floor expansion
30 tags - Basement
So what you got would be the first upgrade for seven tags. Are all your tags unique?

I re-tagged up to 10 times now with my friends character and still no upgrades. From personal experience, has anyone got the tag/delete/re-tag method to work for them to get the inn upgrades?
I have a feeling that you may in fact need 30 unique tags to get a fully upgraded inn. If so, I would like to get started as soon as possible, starting 29 more new games is something I'd like to get over with. :/ (Thanks for screwing Canada over with the tag events Nintendo!)

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Here is my party
level 52 Minstrel (Main)
level 49 Priest
level 45 Gladiator
level 48 Warrior
Is that good enough to beat the final boss? I keep of hearing too many horror stories about the final boss from my friends.

I punished the last boss playing only with a friend, me: lvl50 Martial artist with claws + shield mastered, he: lvl 52 Priest, cant remember what was it that he had mastered.
He practically protected me until i reached 100 percent tension, then used the Claws ultimate attack. Repeat.
After two or tree hits he was gone, he did had some attacks that would reset tension back to 0 though, so he was kind of a dick.
Still, we didnt die, so you should be more than fine.
