How to Unlock More Party Members in Dragon Quest X
One of my favorite parts of Dragon Quest X is that it can be played completely solo, even though it's technically an MMO. This doesn't mean that you have to go on the journey alone, however. Dragon Quest X implements a system which allows you to hire AI party members...
How to Get the Dollar Board Mount in Dragon Quest X
Okay, so you're playing Dragon Quest X. Like me, you're probably growing tired of walking around everywhere. It doesn't help that walking in this game feels SUPER slow, and there's no way to sprint. But fear not! The dollar board is near! To get the dollar board...

Fragments of a Forgotten Past: Why I Was Wrong About Dragon Quest VII
A little over a year ago, I played Dragon Quest VII for the first time. I found the 3DS version to be slow, so I started up the PS1 version (which was supposedly even slower) just to see if it grabbed me more. It didn't. In fact, I struggled with my entire time with...

Every Boss in the Main Story of Dragon Quest X [Weddie Storyline]
I recently beat version 1.0 of Dragon Quest X, commonly called "Awakening of the Five Tribes." It was a fun journey that sometimes took a frustrating amount of effort, but felt mostly worthwhile. I'm working on a review of the game (and still summing stuff up in the...

Now that we've gotten three of our five key emblems, it's time to go get a fourth. This time, let's head to the dwarf town Gakuto Gatara. It looks like a mining town with some Aztec art influences. There's a brief scene about a hoarder named Dustan who might have our...

Adventures in Astoltia (Part Four): Ogres Have Layers
Welcome back! It's now week four of my playthrough of Dragon Quest X, and we've finally arrived in the big ogre city! There are plenty of problems going on in this desert kingdom. Even the king seems to have caught a bad case of the "rage." And by that, I mean he's...

Dragon Quest X Artworks: The Art of Astoltia (Book Review)
Hey, I'm a sucker for art books. The last time I counted, I had something like fifty video game art books on my shelf--a good chunk of them from Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Xeno games. And since I love art books so much, and since Dragon Quest is my favorite...
