Vsync has nothing to do with monitors, I made a stupid in my last post. But turning it off did solve my hitching issue, my apologies.

I saw someone mention using real fullscreen removed some stuttering, not sure if you tried that.
For crafting gear I think it's just the early items being easy, I almost +3'd everything too, only got like +2 on an armor and +1 on some shield but everything else has been +3 so far even shit I had to give away for a quest.
The 2pep quest is pretty easy imo as they sync up pretty often, but the next quest is where it gets shitty, you need 3 specific character to pep together and then kill a specific monster during that pep buff thing, which sounds annoying as shit. I haven't tried yet though. Another quest involves farming some rare mobs so I'll see if I can do both together.

Tried doing it last night. Got Erik and MC pepped up, tried to keep them like that as long as possible and waiting for Serena to pep up while stalling on the mob. Pepped up state finished on the same turn for the guys....only for Serena to become pepped up the very next turn. I was furious.
Anyone far enough into it to know if the difficulty becomes too easy without adding the option to make it harder?
I remember 8, and even 20+ hours in (never finished it) dungeons were a hassle due to mana and hp issues. That's why I didn't start it with any options turned on, but I also don't want the game to become trivial. Only a few hours in, so can easily restart it.

Yeah I grinded a bit in the area but getting all 3 synced is stupid. I'll just progress the quest until I get Sylvio or whatever his name is, from what I read if someone is pepped and you bench him, he stays pepped until you take him out, so you can bench whoever peps out of sync, get the other 2 idiots synced, then before the fight with the mob you grab the benched guy(or girl) so you have all 3. It's my understanding that for the quest you just need to use the skill, not actually kill the mob with it.

Man the US PS4 version runs so much smoother over the JP release, they have done a ton of optimizations too it.
Yes it does get much harder after a certain point, unless your a DQ vet I wouldn't play with the harder version config(The money one is fine but that's probably it.)

Personal preference ?? lol 1 friend of mine grabbed the PC version so far, and other then some stuttering in towns(which he fixed by playing full screen) doens't have issues any were else though. But I'm sure with the PC version someone will remodel Puff-Puff too her Japanese version hahah

It only killed one of my char but yeah the fight was pretty annoying. That's one thing I don't like about DQ, it takes way too long to get the stuff to deal with deaths. I think I have one yggdrasil leaf so far, the vendors don't have any, so anytime sometimes die they don't get xp and I have to go back to camp it's pretty annoying.That quest to kill the rare "Golden Globe" cactiball is nucking futs. Death Dance in a level 14 area, seriously?

I haven't used my preorder seeds yet, though I've been tempted.
I have, however, been able to consistently get the (PC) game to crash... by trying to initiate a certain cutscene as part of the main story. So I can't finish Gallopolis for the time being, because it loads the area, starts the scene, then 4 seconds later I'm looking at my desktop.

You get more than you should use, assuming you want to grind to 99 eventually. How many skill seeds you need per char to max all skills at 99:
Hero 14
Erik 3
Veronica 12
Sena 12
Sylv 12
Rab 5
Jade 3
Mind you if you don't plan on grinding everything, you can use them however you see fit, but I think it's fair to stop at 14 for the hero, drop 3 on Erik and that leaves like 1 I think?(it's 15 for preorder and 3 for edition of light or whatever iirc) you can use on whatever you feel like. You'll be able to grind them later, and technically, you don't really need to max all skills, since many are weapon specific so they're only relevant when using said weapon.
Assuming you do plan on using Erik for the entire game and you don't care about maxing everyone because you only plan on using one specific weapon type for each(for example not using spear/whip on the caster girls which isn't really much of a loss makes it easy to max everything else just from levels), I'd recommend dumping a bunch on him to unlock dualwielding asap, in the knife category. Since he can't use shields, he's essentially one slot down everyone else and unlocking dualwielding gives him a huge boost in damage output. Also the dagger shit is REALLY good in this game, since you can actually sleep bosses at a fairly decent rate which has great utility and also lets you do huge damage with his wake up follow up skill(does 6x damage on sleeping/confused targets, can use another to set it up too). The skill seeds will more or less be wasted if you do grind to 99 but if you don't need them on other chars, it doesn't really matter much in the end and using them on him early is going to be the best returns.

Yep. Grinding to 99 repeatedly was a thing in DQIX especially with the way that the highest tier grotto generation worked (had to level the same class to 99 ten or eleven times to basically guarantee them). Thanks King Metal Slime and Platinum King Jewel!
I actually raced a friend in 4th grade at seeing how high we could get in (NES) DQIV. He ended up getting 99s across the board and I had stopped in the 60s or so, as I recall. Alena was so overpowered with those Stiletto Earrings, since she was a crit machine by then.

Well don't know if anyone will but it's worth mentionning for people who want to max out everything perfectly, with seeds being rare drops and shit you don't want to spend too much time farming them, but for most people it doesn't matter. I just don't really like the aspect of getting super strong at the start via DLC stuff so I haven't claimed anything or used anything(even the cool looking DQ8 armor set). But that also means I only just unlocked dual wield on Erik at 17(using one skill seed I found in a chest).

This guy death dances? He only hit me with the dance that disables you for a few rounds, still an annoying ass fight.That quest to kill the rare "Golden Globe" cactiball is nucking futs. Death Dance in a level 14 area, seriously?
Also a PSA, if you switched into full screen from windowed make sure you set the resolution back to 1080p. For some reason, at least on my machine, it got set to 720 when I switched.
