Hello! I like to share my thoughts and progression on visual novels, games, anime, TV/movies and other media. A big FFXIV fan but currently into Star Rail.

Let's be friends! Keep the vibe positive, please!
In the anime, Jadeite gets put into eternal sleep (why not just death?) by Queen Beryl for failing (the scouts made him get hit with an airplane that he was using to attack them for some reason.)

In the manga, Mars straight up murders him

Solved the jumping puzzle but she doesn’t know how to get back down. Call the fire department.

Where’s Jadeite? Is he safe? Is he alright?
November 11, 2025 at 5:16 AM
Jadeite, i’m not going to give you many more chances to collect human energy. Only like 20 or 30 more chances at most.

New mount acquired. It has a button that permanently blinds the user if pressed.

Got a Switch card case. There’s a couple stragglers missing but they’ll turn up. I’ve never traded or sold any even if I didn’t really like them. Maybe one day.

Sailor Moon update: her tiara throw didn’t work tonight so Sailor Mars stepped in and burned the monster to death.

Looking at the Dragonlord’s castle then and now. It certainly does explain why we don’t just cross the water.

You can still carry the princess around for the rest of the game and they even added some things. You can see her standing there on the battle screen behind you. And I hear there’s a lot of extra dialogue if you keep her with you.

This went from a stronger than normal random encounter in the original game to a 15 minute long intense back-and-forth nail biter.

Nobody wants to fight monsters with me.

Big difference from the tiny handful of abilities in the NES version.

I think this is the first DQ1 dungeon that I’ve encountered which didn’t exist in any way shape or form in the original game. South of Rimuldar where there were just some hills originally.

New Dwarven race just dropped.

In Sailor Moon, there must be a ton of ways to collect human energy, but Jadeite mostly prefers messing with teenage girls in one specific city.

I was worried in the first hour or two that the DQ remake would be a really easy affair and even considered setting it to Draconic difficulty.

Fortunately, things have really ramped up and the world feels about as scary as it did in the original.

Is this emergent gameplay? First, that car stopped on the tracks. The train blew the whistle aggressively and came to a stop. Even when I was fully out of the way, it was a standstill.

I violated the law (Oblivion voice) to get by and saw a huge traffic backup on the other side.

Neat how some of the optional caves in Dragon Quest 1 now have a story purpose and are expanded on like everything else.

Other big differences are that there are a ton of new spells and abilities that weren’t in the original game, including some you learn by finding items scrolls.

Just had to stop and vibe
November 3, 2025 at 1:47 AM
I’m still pretty early on, but so far this DQ remake is really good. The world feels so familiar but much more alive.

All the same locations I remember are there, but there are new ones as well. More people to talk to, the characters are more fleshed out.
November 3, 2025 at 1:46 AM
We get more Dragonlord in the remake! He says the king of kings line! He uses a crazy spell. Gwaelin is a character and not just an object to be saved and married. She stands up to the Dragonlord. Loving this.

DQ1 HD: I kind of wish torches were still needed in dungeons, but I’m glad the music gets slower and more ominous the farther down you go, just like in the original.

I’m not really liking the battle voices/grants so I think I might just turn voice acting off.

Sirena learned a new dance.

Endwalker Societies to Allied, it took some time, but we got there.

It's been a hard day, phyiscally and mentally, and this helped a lot. Many great screenshots.

I love seeing Honey B and the rest at the bottom. Mist was a big FF9 thing so the title makes sense.
