Bahamut Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 Oh and Final Guard sucks ass, I hate collecting its items Two words: Thousand Blade Hmm? Clarify. Also: I beat the bonus dungeon. The prize for beating it is a cool dual attack that summons the Belmonts of old to come and pulverize all the enemies on the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeFu Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Anybody that can read japanese wanna translate this? http://gemaga.sbcr.jp/ it seems DQ9 is headed for the DS?? It's pretty much confirmed now. Seems like it will be 4 player online too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mDuo13 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Man, Dawn of Sorrow had me pretty ticked off about that "ending". I kind of thought it meant there was a sequel that would finish the story or something. Glad someone filled me in on that one, because I probably wouldn't have figured it out on my own. It sort of disappoints me that they pulled the same trick in Portrait of Ruin. At least I know about it this time. Anyway, DQ9 should be interesting. Disappointed to hear that Phantom Hourglass has been delayed. There sure are a lot of good DS games I still wanna play, though: FF3DS, Trauma Center (might just play the Wii version if I can), Hotel Dusk Room 212, Phoenix Wright 2, etc. I've just been playing the first Phoenix Wright, lately, and loving it. Just started the final case. I've been laughing so hard at this game, also occasionally getting really excited over it. It's so satisfying when you prove that someone is lying. Occasionally I feel like which evidence you're supposed to use is kind of a stretch, though. Most glaringly, the thing with the plates in Case 3.

UnforgivingEdges Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Phoenix Wright 2, etc. By the way, if you pre-order this game at Gamestop, it comes with this. (Yes, that's a stylus) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warmech Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 ^Ha nice! I threw down a pre-order at EB just because, didn't know it was coming with anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Oh and Final Guard sucks ass, I hate collecting its items Two words: Thousand Blade Hmm? Clarify. There's an up+X move called 1000 Blades. Basically you throw 50 knives straight forward very rapidly. It's a very cheap move, and can deplete a Final Guard's 50 hits in one shot in the rare case that none of the knives are blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually figured out what you meant sometime later when looking at the special moves. I use Greatest Heroes so all the other moves are kinda meh to me.

Drack Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Oh, and how do you get the unlockables in PoR? I've beaten the game (real ending) but have gotten nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzureZeal Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Question: When is it a good time to have both characters out? Is it just at certain times or is it better to have them both out at all times. I just got PoR today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drack Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 When your partner gets hit, instead of losing health you lose MP, which is no big deal. Even so, I usually had one characte out at a time and switched when I needed it. However, using your partner's special with R is quite handy, I used that all the time.

Dexie Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The Belmont spirit is so annoying. What Up+Y move do you use on him? What I've done is equip the flame whip (longest range of all my weapons) and use offensive stance as my Up+Y. The only effective attack strategy I've found is to jump at him, whip in the air, such that the very tip hits him when you land, and immediately use L to backdash when you land. But I'm only hitting for 60 some damage wach hit and when he catches me it's 100-200 a hit of my 473 hp. Even so, I have lasted quite a while into the fight, well beyond when he starts throwing holy water. You see, my Charlotte has all the cool offensive stuff but you can only use Jonathan for this fight... so if there's anything I can do to bring him down faster, I'm already lasting pretty damn long myself. Use Jet Black Whip (Gained after beating Medusa), and the mastered Cream Pie. Cream Pie does a ton of dark damage to him, for only one MP. If you don't have Cream Pie, use Shuriken instead.Grind again Personaphe and Harpies if you need lots of healing items to use against him.

I beat him 2 pages ago, just using basic stuff (none of that stuff you recommended), and have beaten the game since I'll go edit my original post.

atmuh Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 So there's been a lot of yelling going on at some sites (joystiq) about who the heck at Square-Enix decided to put DQIX to the DS. This was a good read as to why. I for one, was delighted to know it'd be on the DS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drack Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Start the fight with Jonathan active, equipped with Taunt, and Charlotte equipped with Sancuary. Wait till they do icicle drop, move off to the side and start the casting with R, and use taunt to bring them away from her. Just take the ice like a man, use potions if needed.

Bigfoot Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 So I finally opened my game. Even the first boss was pretty tough(that shit does a lot of dmg). Looks like I'm going to enjoy this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
