Monster raising is pretty central to DQ5. Other than the main character, your party will mostly consist of monsters you personally catch and raise for 3/4s of the game (I can't explain the rest without major spoilers). And better yet, there are solid story-related reasons for why you travel with monsters when no one else in the world does.

That's actually pretty cool. What kind of stuff can you raise? Domesticated enemy monsters like the Slime Knight? Or are there unique breeds that you can raise. I'm trying to think of a DQ9 monster that would be cool to have under player control (that are not Barbarus. Would raise that in a heartbeat if I could), but I can't remember any ones with awesome designs. Maybe this is a sign that we should play DQ9 again.

I wonder if I could raise a Moai Minstrel...

3DS is tight. I spent about 5 minutes messing with 3D stuff, now back to pokemon. This thing is MAD TINY. Super hyped.

I have to say the 3DS plays DS and DSi games in low res, unlike the DSi and DS Lite, which look better (and the DSi has bigger screens height wise and width wise on the bottom).

DQ5 doesn't have as many different monsters as DQ9, but there's still quite a selection. Here's a list of the recruitable monsters (not all the different monster types in the game):
Archdemon: [01] Jailcat: [36]
Bad Apple: [02] Killing Machine: [37]
Barbatos: [03] King Cureslime: [38]
Battle Pip: [04] King Slime: [39]
Beastmaster: [05] Liquid Metal Slime: [40]
Blizzybody: [06] Magic Marionette: [41]
Bomboulder: [07] Man o' War: [42]
Brownie: [08] Mandrake Marshal: [43]
Chimaera: [09] Metal Slime: [44]
Conkerer: [10] Minidemon: [45]
Conkjurer: [11] Moosifer: [46]
Conkuisitor: [12] Mudraker: [47]
Conkuistador: [13] Old Man of the Sea: [48]
Cross Eye: [14] Orc King: [49]
Cureslime: [15] Pip Fighter: [50]
Dracky: [16] Pocus Poppet: [51]
Drag-goof: [17] Powie Yowie: [52]
Epipany: [18] Prestidigitator: [53]
Fandangow: [19] Restless Armour: [54]
Fat Rat: [20] Revaulting Horse: [55]
Flamethrower: [21] Rockbomb: [56]
Funghoul: [22] Rotten Apple: [57]
Ghost: [23] Samigina: [58]
Gigantes: [24] Slime: [59]
Golem: [25] Slime Knight: [60]
Goodybag: [26] Small Fry: [61]
Great Dragon: [27] Snowbird: [62]
Grudgerigar: [28] Ticking Timeburrm: [63]
Hades Helm: [29] Walking Corpse: [64]
Hawk Man: [30] Warhog: [65]
Healslime: [31] Wax Murderer: [66]
Hellion: [32] Wiz Pip: [67]
Hoodlum: [33]
Hulagan: [34]
Hyperanemon: [35]

There are over 200 different monsters in the game, but the rest are mostly just palette swaps of these, so basically you can recruit one type per monster "family" excluding special cases like slimes where you can recruit pretty much all of them except MKS.

They're not all winners but quite a few of them are interesting and useful. <3 Slime Knight, Golem, and Killing Machine. And I think Barbatos is a palette swap of Barbarus.

I know they're just silly little tech demos but I'm loving the AR games.

I just compared Mario Kart DS side by side, and yeah, that is noticeably different. It's not that it's "low res," it's that the 3DS screen is higher res than the DS screen, and the game is being stretched to fill the screen, so the graphics aren't quite as crisp because they aren't in their native resolution. I don't really mind it though. It's actually like ghetto anti-aliasing, making DS games look less pixellated.

Oh also JCz I was looking for pictures of Barbatos. I recognize the monster from DQ9 but he's not a Barbarus palette swap. Barbarus is the evil dragon palette swap of Greygnarl, and Barbatos is...well..



Dragon's Den should be helpful though.

Hey JCaesar, have you heard of this guy?

http://jonnydeath.com/gametal.html

He plays VG metal, all by himself. Everything. And it's phenomenal. If you haven't heard of it, look him up on your phone and download some of it before you go home today and listen to it on the way home. You'll have some new Kirby rock themes in no time

Old news bro. I'm still waiting for him to upload his Yoshi's Island final boss remix (btw, that video shows off a new custom Brawl stage based on the final boss fight, pretty kickass).

As far as random youtube VG remixers go (as in, not regulars on OC Remix or Dwelling of Duels, where the best remixers are), CSGuitar89 is probably my favorite. His Rainbow Road (MK64) remix is amaaaazing.


@Thunderhorse: If you do decide to play DQ5, please please be careful about reading articles and reviews about it if you do that kinda thing. The thing that makes DQ5 my favorite RPG of all time is the unique and well-told story, and spoilers could really hurt the impact of your first playthrough.

Forgot about Bandit's housewarming party thing. Probably because I don't think I've been invited.

This is true.

CMart, you are welcome to come up. It is this weekend starting at 2pm. My family and friends plus a couple guys from college are going to be there so it should be a good time.

I would bring Pokemon but a lot of stuff that I use (Custap Berry, Salac Berry, and all Dream World Pokemon for instance) are unusable, and the fact that I only get access to 1 Leftovers is really annoying.

That and I'm in the process of starting to breed my team, so I really have nothing to use besides my in-game team for Gen V.
