DQ12 delayed a lot. Maybe 2027?

I suspect they tried to go the Final Fantasy route with Dragon Quest 12 then realized Japan would burn down SquareEnix HQ if they deviated from the formula.

What is "dark" for a Dragon Quest game?

I don't know if there is a definitive answer anywhere, but I think it had more to do with their wanting to change the formula. They couldn't decide on what they wanted to do and/or what they were trying to do just wasn't working, so they pivoted.

Ive been watching/listening to an uncomfortable amount of Zelda lore and theory channels the last few years. Zeltik on YouTube has some great stuff.

Just finished the bottom of the well. Excited/dreading the Shadow Temple

I am starting the water temple. Very enjoyable and currently stuck. I really liked turning to young link to plant bean seeds. Then adult link. Gotta do them all.

Can someone tell me if my memory is off on this, but I remember in the original game that if you bought the Hylian Shield as young Link and had it equipped when you were going up death mountain, when the volcanic rocks would land, Link would automatically crouch with the shield on his back and block everything, taking no damage. You wouldn't even have to bring the shield up.

It definitely doesn't work that way now.

I went up there early to get to the fairy lady and just ran through it going up with red potions.. the owl will take you down. I didnt spend the $600 as I was jonseing for money. I need to start saving to visit the fairy twice

I play the ocarnia to warp--to forest to get at least one fairy in a bottle having to pass that beast guy jig jagging. I got him from behind with the hook shot then sword, but he keeps spawning.

I am stiil figuring what to do with poes in a bottle. It is all new to me somehow so I cant compare.

You can sell them in ruined Hyrule, that first door to the right as you enter the city.

Google AI for the win:

quote:

Yes, wearing the Hylian Shield as Young Link automatically blocks falling volcanic rocks on Death Mountain Trail.

• How it works for Young Link: Because he is too small to physically wield or hold the Hylian Shield out in front of him like Adult Link, it rests on his back.

• Automatic Protection: As long as you have it equipped, it passively shields him from overhead hazards—specifically the flaming, falling boulders that rain down as you climb toward the summit or Goron City.

• The Guard's Hint: A guard near the gate to Death Mountain explicitly advises you to get the Hylian Shield for this exact reason before heading up the mountain.



So I attempted this a few days ago with the remake and I was still getting hit.

Imagine them releasing Majora's mask... seems like a given.



Now imagine them reusing the engine to make another new entry... would sell like hotcakes
