Adventures in Astoltia (Part 1): Playing the Prologue in Dragon Quest X
Starting now, I'm going to try to chronicle my adventures in Astoltia, the world of Dragon Quest X. I began playing the game a couple of weeks ago. If you're interested in trying out the game for free yourself, then you can read last week's post on getting DQX to run...
How to Play Dragon Quest X in America on Nintendo Switch For Free
I recently started playing Dragon Quest X on the Nintendo Switch...in the United States...for free. Yes, it's still in Japanese and there are some language barriers to overcome, but it's a surprisingly simple and easy task. I've gotten a lot of people asking me how to...
Dragon Quest FM, S2E7: Dragon Quest of the Stars (First Impressions)
This week on Dragon Quest FM, we're geeking out about the new mobile RPG, Dragon Quest of the Stars! The game released on the night of February 24 for us, so we we managed to log in quite a few hours before recording the episode. As usual, our play styles are really...
Dragon Quest of the Stars is Out Now!
Among all the Dragon Quest surprises we've gotten in the West lately, one of the biggest was probably the announcement that we're getting Dragon Quest of the Stars on February 25, 2020. Historically, mobile Dragon Quest games don't make it over here: DQ Walk, DQ...
Dwellin’ on the Past: Fun Times with the Altar of Ages!
Dragon Quest XI S is filled to the brim with content. In previous posts, I've talked about the mini-games and (some) of the Tickington content like Tockles and pastwords. And like I said last week, this time around I want to focus on a special part of the Tickington...
Tockles, Tickington, and Pastwords
This week, I want to talk about one of my favorite new additions to Dragon Quest XI S! For a year, I was hoping we'd get the Yocchi Village content from the Japanese 3DS of XI here in the States. On the blog and on the podcast, I talked about it A TON! So I was super...
How to Beat the Superboss at the End of Dragon Quest XI S
Two disclaimers really quick: First, there are going to be a ton of spoilers ahead, so consider yourself warned. Second, I'm in no way an expert. And I'm not saying this is the best way to do it. This is just how I (as in, me, personally) defeated the Timewyrm...
Back in the Saddle: Horse Racing and Mini-Games in Dragon Quest XI (S)
That's right! My "Dragon Quest" Quest is back, and since (like Dragon Quest) I love puns, I thought this was a perfect way to get back into writing about all my DQ shenanigans. "Back in the Saddle?" Get it? Get it? Get it? Are you still there? Okay, cool. Let's jump...
The End of the Quest?
Once upon a time*, I proclaimed I was going to beat all the mainline games in the Dragon Quest series within a single year. It ended up only taking me nine and a half months. I've enjoyed (almost**) every moment of it. I think I flew through the games simply because...
Dragon Quest IX: The Gortress, the Gittish Empire, and Beyond
This is the final week for me to talk about Dragon Quest IX, which is a game I've thoroughly enjoyed. You can check out my first post on the game here, and my second post here. This week, I wanted to discuss a lot of the endgame story, areas, and characters. For me,...
Dragon Quest IX: Quester’s Rest, Krak Pot, and the Starflight Express
Last week, I mostly talked about the Dragon Quest IX's Vocation system, the story set-up, and how themes and locations remind me so much of Dragon Quest VII. This week, I'd like to talk about some of the mechanics that make IX feel unique and different from other...
Dragon Quest IX: Angels, Alltrades, and the Almighty
Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies is the final game I have to play in my year-long Dragon Quest Quest. I started this game back in July, and I've been having a good time with it so far. I actually beat the main story this past week and am playing through...
Dragon Quest Builders 2: Final Thoughts
A few weeks ago, I posted my early impressions on Dragon Quest Builders 2, which you can find here. I decided to wait about writing up my final thoughts on the game, because there was a lot to consider. So, finally, this week I decided to post all of my last...
Most Memorable Characters in Each Dragon Quest
This week, I just wanted to rank some of the most memorable characters in each mainline Dragon Quest game. That doesn't mean they're necessarily my favorite (although a few of them are). These are also my most memorable characters, the ones who stuck out the most for...
Final Thoughts on Dragon Quest VIII
This is likely going to be my final post on Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. At the time of this writing, I beat it about two days ago. That means I only have to beat DQ IX in order to beat every mainline Dragon Quest game within a single year. Today, I...
Dragon Quest VIII: Side Quests, Mini-Games, and More!
Last week, I talked a lot about the characters in Dragon Quest VIII. This week, I want to focus more on the gameplay mechanics that make this entry unique from the others in the series. DQ VIII has a lot to offer in terms of side quests and mini-games. There's the new...
