Finally beat Joker

November 17, 2007

I just finally finished the game. My winning team:
Night Clubber S+8
Black Dragon S+6
Zoma X+11

It was quite an enjoyable ride, although the game wasn’t without flaws. What annoyed me the most were the long traveling times between islands. If I had to go from Fern Isle to the city and back, one could go mad. Other games have teleport spells for this sort of stuff, I wished the developers had thought about that too. Well, otherwise it was quite good. The monster synthesizing was cool and the graphics were impressive for a DS game.

I’ll pass on post-endgame content, I just don’t have time for that. I guess I should get back to hacking Caravan Heart instead. Although currently there are still Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, Gears of War (PC), … this is surely the coolest time of the year for a game addict like me.

Joker addiction

November 11, 2007

Ok, I admit it. I was wrong not to be excited about Joker.

I’m totally addicted now x_X I’m currently on the zombie island, and spend the whole day leveling my various monsters to level 10, synth them and repeat. I want to see how far I can go without continuing with the game. Somehow it sometimes feels as if there is a limit to what monsters I can create, then I suddenly have the next monster stage open. I guess I just had the wrong monsters when I started.

My current party for those interested:

Gryphon C+5
Dragon Slime C+2
Green Dragon D+4

All freshly hatched at Lv1. Let’s see if I can create a B grade monster now.

Anyone else playing like crazy already?

Last but not least, thanks for the wonderful feedback on my last post. I’m glad there is still so much love for Caravan Heart.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker out next week

November 03, 2007

Time flies by so fast, a year ago I’d bet that I had Caravan Heart finished before Joker was released in English. Now the release is just a few days away and I’m months behind schedule, damn ^_^

I must admit though I’m not too excited about Joker myself. I heard from trustable sources that Caravan Heart is the much better game of the two. I’ll play Joker of course, at least to compare how they translated some things.

I’d like to ask you, dear fans of Dragon Quest, if the release of Joker will affect your looking forward to the Caravan Heart translation. I wanted to release Caravan Heart first because I was afraid many people wouldn’t be interested anymore in it if there was a new English DQM game. Is that so?

Please let me know your opinion about this, I’m very curious.
