The random dungeons are another feature that I feel were really half-baked. It's just waves of randomly generated monsters and as I said, the combat isn't compelling. I feel like the random dungeons generated in #DragonQuestMonstersTheDarkPrince are closer to what they should have had which are closer to the procedurally generated dungeons going back to #DragonQuestMonsters Gameboy days.

Overall, it's frustrating because there is quite a bit to the game that I have enjoyed.

But also, it's interesting that among the Treasures you can collect is references to Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 which never left Japan. I still wish they'd go back, translate, and release some of those games over here the next time they're due for a remake.

(3/3)

I figured out where I'm actually going in this game, I think. My team is a Halo Slime, Andreal, and Dark Master. I found a metal hunter human guy that I broke out of jail, but he's an idiot. If given a choice between attacking a Snaily or a Metal Slime, it's 50:50 if he'll actually pick the metal slime. The metals I'm finding are giving a whooping 300 exp, which is still pretty underwhelming given an Armorpion needs like 7,000+ to go from level 10 to 11.

This is such a werid/cool game though. I wish it had been iterated on; I can't think of any other games quite like it.

I played some more of #DragonQuestMonsters Caravan Heart last night. I offer these thoughts:

+ Playing it immediately after DW2 was a fortuitous accident as there a lot of callbacks to that game.
+ I am happy the translation patch uses the old localization for monsters and spells
+ This game is hard, largely due to painfully slow grinding. I around 14 hrs and the low exp prevents reforming to better monsters or getting useful skills.
+ Battles are very slow, largely due to having 6 party members.
+ While food isn't a big problem, it's a constant drain on money up to the point I am at. I can go out and grind, make 200 gold, then turn around and just buy food to replace what I used.
+ I like having the Caravan with me and being able to move it around. It's a pretty neat concept. I am hoping the game opens up a bit soon so I can more fully use it.

The overall slow battles and grind make it a hard game to fully recommend, but it is one of the most interesting and bold #DragonWarrior games.

I thought I'd give the #DragonQuestMonsters DQM2 remake on #3ds a try. I tend to not like 3D Dragon Quest games as much, but this one has a dedicated button to make your character dance, so it is off to a promising start! #dragonquest

After 128 hours, I now have a Grand Slime in #DWM2 with max stats. His agility at level 99 was around 750, but it turns out once you hit max experience points, you start running into bards like crazy.

Finally found another dream egg in #DragonWarriorMonsters2. That only took 103 hours. Not really sure what to do with it as information online is fairly speculative. Last time, I just got a stupid crab out of it.

Pour one out for my level 60 Baramos in Dragon Warrior Monsters 2. While transferring him between games, the Everdrive failed to reboot/save properly and he was lost forever. Guess I'll rage quit for a year now.

Dragon Quest Monsters Caravan Heart: Play as monsters collecting humans! After 5 hours, it's a bit weird, but also a bit awesome. I just got a 3rd wagon, so I think I've been introduced to all the major systems now.
