Get the spell as a mage, switch to thief and level up sword until you get the metal slash attack (i forget the exact name). Turn 1, cast ward and defend with everyone else. Turns 2+, use the metal slash and defend with everyone else. My thief was level 10 when I did this. The slimes somehow didn't run easily (I was 2 for 2). Metal slash did 2 damage each time for me.

Haven't tried it yet, but apparently you have to
talk to the cat while wearing Cat Ears?
Yep. I'm using that code as well now. It effectively removes the on-screen avatars for characters 2-4, restoring the game's framerate to optimal levels! Fantastic!Aeana said:
Though I haven't fully tested it, it might also effectively make those characters immune to environmental hazards.

(Not really spoilerish, just a large picture)
My main party that I have been using regularly is Usagi, Hakuna, Michiru and Ami.
Just created Setsuna and Hotaru today, so they are still level 1. Also none of the shops had anything I liked for Hotaru, so I will probably have to alchemize her some clothes. Kinda bummed that you can only create 8 characters, I was going to try to make Chibusa and Tuxedo Mask as well. :/
I'm 40hrs and 7 fyggs down in the story so far. Before I continue on, I have a full slate of quests that I think I will fulfill. Might be obvious to state, but I am loving this game!
:lol That is fantastic

Im definitely going to be checking that more often I kind of forgot about it for a couple days at first.
Im heading into Bad Cave soon, does anyone know what area the metal medleys are in?
They are about halfway through the cave. It is the open area where the enemy spawns change from the ones you fight at the entrance.

Just figured out the Zere Rocks pun. Damn you localizers! :lol
Thanks Instro, I'll head over there and check it out...

Probably already said in the JP import or earlier in the thread. But i think i figured out why the class system isn't like the previous games in that, your learned spells carry over. Because with the way you can switch classes on the fly, you could easily break the game if spells like say heal carried over, that and the added multi-player would make it very easy to break things.:lol
Different strokes for different folks, I guess. Unlocking all that stuff right from the start feels like ruining the game to me...
BTW, odd thing I noticed last night when I was canvassing with myself -- text display is faster in the Japanese version. It's not just because the EN version is more wordy, either (though that's part of it) -- it also just genuinely displays slower. Dunno why they'd do that, but I wish there was an option to speed it up.

Main character should have egg on, which will boost tension. You could use that, and psyche up 2 times each and most likely max out tension. What's hard is getting the slimes not to run, try using low (lvl >4) characters with very little equip.
I'm kinda curious how much variation there is between the various Fources. I've just guessed which one would be best against a certain boss and it's always had a pretty solid impact. Just used Gale against the boss of
, added 100+ damage to my Warrior's attacks (~150 to 250 when Doubled Up).
And then my Priest just got a crit on my first encounter with a liquid metal slime.
I get all excited about the 45k I have in the bank and then I see that to get new weapons for my 4 people I'll have to spend 35k. Guess I won't be getting new armor for a bit.

Where can I get more lava lumps and royal soil? I need it for platinum gear. :|
Also, where do I get the Paladin quest?

Have at least one character with metal slash, or even better have the character with Wizard Ward have metal slash. It's not really that hard, the person who uses wizard ward just has to get the last hit. Metal slimes have 3-4 HP I think.

The green mud dudes in the Gubliani Waterway are the best way to get Lava Lumps. I spent an hour or so stealing from them today and finished off all of the platinum, steel and gigasteel stuff I could do (except platinum armor because I haven't found the gold armor yet).
Paladin quest is given to you by a chick on the top of the Gubliani castle. I think you have to get the Fygg for the area first but I can't recall.

What do I do now? :| I've literally seen no hint, lol.

I did it with the slimes outside of Bloomingdale, they never run, always call for back-up. The trick is having members in your party which can perform crowd control. Either a whip/boomerang/group spell that attacks the whole lot of them.butzopower said:
At the end of each round you'll probably want to get them down to only 3 or 4 left. Any more than that and you risk their population running out of control. The start of the next round they all call for back-up. So 4 will become 8. Once the screen fills with slimes they combine to form a King Slime, which means you can't complete the quest.
Might take a bit of practice, but I think it's easier than the slimes that run away.

I decided to give this game a shot for some bizarre reason (not a JRPG fan, never touched a Dragon Quest prior to this). Picked it up this morning and actually ran my DS battery dry. That's never happened.
I feel like an asian schoolboy, and it feels good man.

Not seeing the desert island. Or at least, seeing a place that looks like a desert.
I somehow missed this myself; ended up sailing straight north at the top of the world circling around some mountains and eventually ended up atAeana said:

Beated the game today and it was such a great 45 hour adventure!! I still have some dragon quest fever in me and I never played Dragon Quest 8 before. I'll stop by EBgames tomorrow to check to see if they have it...not sure if I'll try out 7. I heard 7 was very steep and difficult

Okay, so I just changed my Thief into a Mage because really, having two melee dps seems pointless (Martial Artist and Thief).
And since I've gone out into the sea I notice a lot of shit spawns at one time, so I think I'll need it.
Maybe I should change my priest into mage instead? : /
