What's the best salt I can get for meat? I don't mind spending some money if it's really good. I've gotten in the habit of cooking ribeyes lately, and every time is better than the previous time because I keep refining my technique. Of course, I don't need any sauce, just salt and sometimes...

I never noticed the DoDH bump, probably because I never played a new character during those eras, just AA'd at 70. I do remember DoDH zones themselves being really good AA exp compared to previous expansions and chalked that up to the zones themselves having higher modifers. Never noticed the...

I stand corrected, maybe Dragon Quest V wouldn't have been as much of a license to print money as I thought. It looks like RPGs didn't start becoming a successful genre in the U.S. until 1994 or 1995, and even then it was mainly Squaresoft that had said successes. Americans gave DW a try, but...

I try to just get them from people I know. Though normally I have way way more than I need, I made the mistake of selling my entire stock, lul. I was going to take a break from the game a few weeks ago and then decided to make a monk instead. Right after the exp bonus ended. A real comedy of...

IIRC GoD and TSS both have huge exp bumps. There are other smaller bumps elsewhere, apparently. However those two are the big ones. I joined Phinny right after GoD came out and the leveling was pretty fast compared to what it is on every server pre-GoD. 1-55 flew by. Then TSS bumps it to live...

The sad thing is, these companies could have absolutely printed money in the mid-1990's by bringing over things like Final Fantasy 5, Dragon Quest 5, Star Ocean, etc.

I'm out of Kronos and need 3 more, and most people are buying them not selling. What's the place to get them these days, still ECTunnel.com?

Those are SNES, but yeah, now that you mention it BoF2 might be the last major SNES RPG that I never played, and I should get on that too. Then there are a bunch of Japan-only games I never played like Rudra no Hihou, Treasure Hunter G, Bahamut Lagoon, Tales of Phantasia, Star Ocean, and...

I'll probably give Ultima 4 on NES a run after I finish with the Dragon Quest crusade I'm on now (doing, at least, the DQ4/5/6 mobile ports). Got a hankering for an NES RPG and I've played all the good ones I knew about like FF, DQ, DoaE. How are the Runes of Virtue duo-gy on Game Boy? I feel...

So you have to get another class to 50 and then you can class-change into RDM? I like what I've heard about how FF14 lets you level up multiple classes on one character. I've always wanted an MMO like that. I'll probably run Black Mage to 50 then switch.

All of this streamer drama is retarded. What's the best class to play as? Had my eye on Red Mage for a while because it got added later so it must be pretty good. Also I love Red Mages in general.

@Stifle This. You can use /melody to twist songs automatically and then you just have to worry about attacking mobs and/or pulling. Not sure if /melody is in from the start, pretty sure it is. Bard can also drop aggro better than any other class and run faster. In the later expansions bards can...

Are the guides in the first post up to date, or are they circa 2012? One part references later expansions, but I want to be sure. The class guide in particular. Never played this, definitely want to later. Maybe when End Walker is out so I can run through the story.

I'm actually playing DQ4 on phone right now. Played 1-3's new phone versions over the last couple years and got into this big DQ mood after 3 so I went right into 4. It's fantastic. About to go to the town full of women, hoo rah. I'll probably keep going and do the rest of the phone versions...

I did play through all of DQ7. It took me six years, as mentioned above, and I found it to be excruciatingly slow, though there were elements I liked (the music, the stories). The thing about a tier list is that the bottom tier doesn't necessarily mean something is bad, it just means it's below...

Did my own personal tier-list which won't be controversial at all. Basing this off of the original versions of the games, not the remakes. @Szlia Timewyrm and a few of the postgame super-bosses in DQ11S were insane. There was one in particular that was like, two bosses at once. I think it was...

Got tickets for the 9/3 Rampage in Chicago too, since why not. So that makes four AEW shows in 2 months that I'll be at. Looks like I'm flying Spirit for the shows in Chicago, NYC, and Boston. Thanks a lot, Priceline. Pray for me.

Yeah, DQXI is its own self-contained story. They might connect XII to it, we'll see. 1-3 is a trilogy (3-1-2), 4 through 6 are supposed to be a trilogy but have a lot less connection to each other than 1-3, and after that they're pretty much all self-contained. YMMV with the older ones, a lot...

Dragon Quest VII - The one game in the series that I actively don't like and have only played through once. There are people who swear by this game, though. By far the longest game in the series, and the slowest as well. Carries over DQ6's class system, though there's a lot of class bloat at...

For some reason there isn't one of these already, so here's a thread for all things Dragon Quest. IMO this is debatably the best series of JRPGs available on consoles, right up there with Final Fantasy. They're #1A and #1B for me. It's hard to say which one is a better series, since FF usually...

I feel like the music volume in AEW is turned down, or something. Like you can't really hear the entrance themes like you can in WWE. They have it set up more like UFC where the entrance music sounds like distant backing rather than being right up against the microphones. I don't know. I haven't...

Thoughts on what the hell this is?

Yeah, Mystic Quest was pretty great for its time. Check out World of Final Fantasy. It sort of strikes me as the Mystic Quest of the modern era. Fairly easy/simple RPG where you control two characters. The landscapes are all based on classic FF areas, now in a "diorama" style similar to the...

Page not reachable This morning I had a bad dream where I was out in some waiting room (possibly an airport) and had my tablet open to BlockFi or Uniswap, not sure. I had a Bitcoin wallet on screen with like $3500 in it. I got called to the counter for something and there was no one around so I...

I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan and I've finished every other FF game...ever, except 11 and 14. Most of the series isn't weeby, though the later entries have flirted with weebness a bit more, mainly 14. Nowadays 11 seems to be defunct, so I need to at least give 14 a start-to-finish kind of run...

Yeah good point. I loved Returnal at first, but after a while I just felt like it was wasting my time, and that was probably the last time I checked out a roguelite for a while. I think they CAN still make games like this, though, if they do it very carefully. Dragon Quest 11 is very much a...

This was my favorite wrestling intro in a long time. Considering this was the opening of the first show after the Punk/Bryan leaks, it felt like the Elite were doing a victory lap and metaphorically dunking on WWE. Yeah, that's going to really bite them in the ass. It's like they aren't even...

Yeah I had the same issue with FXIV. Every time I saw it my brain would register it as people talking about FF14, and it'd remind me that I still haven't played FF14...what am I doing with my LIFE

For anyone who did the Rat Ears quest, here's the macro I used for regaining the guards faction from the guys in Erudin Palace. This macro will lock Slansin in place while you hand him potions. It worked better than any other macro I tried so I'm passing it along. Also featuring a hot wood elf...

Finished FF1 Pixel. It's aight. Easier than the NES version, harder than the PSP version. Has the same stats on bosses / damage tables / etc as PSP, I believe. I thought it'd be more faithful to the original, which I was under the impression was the point? No optional content, nothing to do at...

Did 42-48 this afternoon, big push tomorrow. Had group fall apart halfway through due to LDs and people not snaring, then re-formed the group from scratch while pretending in /ooc to hold the camp until everyone got there, picked up like nothing happened. Was a good time

Wait, seriously? All this time I thought Mischief was truebox. That's cool.

Yeah that'd be interesting. Khan and his genetically-superior minions made their way into positions of power around the world and tried to take over. ...I have zero faith in anything like that being good, or even properly-addressed, now.

There's nothing incriminating to see in this shot, it's just to let people know the names, and that it's a bot group. It was one of the most obvious / egregious examples of botting I've ever seen. I ended up just yoinking their pulls and they never said a thing, just kept pulling mobs in the...

Look at this fuckin' guy. Full group of bots.

What guild is this passive-aggressive guy referring to? Golden Rapists?

As far as my ideas go, as much as I'd like to see an Enterprise-F show that actually moves the story into the future, I think the "Lost Era" is the biggest goldmine for Star Trek that they've, up to now, completely whiffed on. An Enterprise-B show would be perfect right now. George Takei is...

Shoot me a message next time you're down for some mayhem. I'm trying to put aside this weekend to play, maybe some before then.

Yeah, same here. Enterprise-B show with Captain Sulu bridging the gap between TOS and TNG? Enterprise-C show about reaching out to other planets/peoples, called Ambassador? Enterprise-F sequel to TNG/DS9 with Captain Worf and/or Riker? Khan Noonien Singh show set in the alt-1990's?
