Yeah, I wondered that myself...but I won quite a few times just going back & forth between that & the church...Looks like I'm going to be playing the slots in Baccarat though since there's one that puts out lots of wins (I got about 20,000 in under 10 min, I think)...

Captain Crow was WEAK. I was dissapointed to find that this legendary pirate didn't do much else besides Psyche up (thank you Angelo, you charismatic fool!).

Bloody hell. I hate how Dragon Quest gives you these amazing things suddenly, and you're placed with this huge burden to explore. Like the Monster Arena, the Keys, the Ship.

Plus, how can you beat Jessica in a dancers or bunny outfit :)

I guess you haven't gotten it yet, but two words: Magic Bikini. :shock:

Yeah, but I knew about it. Hadn't seen it though. Is Dangerous/Divine Bustier any good?

I actually really enjoyed final fantasy X, I wasn't expecting a very good game, but IMO it was very good.

I prereserved dragon quest VIII in and in dec. 05 picked it up.  I played 20 hours in by january, and then just quit playing it until in dec. of 06 I picked it up again and started playing.  I played another 20 hours probably, and I rarely play it anymore.  I think that game is a giant chore really.  It's just really boring to me for some reason.  I have played all the dragon quest games, and beaten all of them except 3 and 4 for nes (also includes dragon quest V and VI for snes, beat those).  I really liked dragon quest VII a lot for the playstation.. I don't know there's something about this one that I just don't like, it's just a big chore.

Yeah, I hadn't gotten those when I wrote that...Although the Dangerous Bustier is byfar the best looking (to me at least-very, how shall I say, S&M? it goes great with her equipped with a whip, let's say)...it's DEF is only 1! V_V But you need it to make the Divine, which is one of her best armors.

I don't know what to tell ya, realworksuks...I found FFX to be far more of a chore because the characters weren't nearly as fun as those in DQVIII...Then again, I pretty much talk to all of my characters every five minutes (every lil bit extra!). It's just a nice, classic romp. It's good to see the roots shine through every now & then...

Oh, and the truth behind Munchie isn't 'revealed' until you get to the Dragovian Trials (after you beat the game, really, and unlock the town & horrific maze caves that surround it)...and the truth...well, it's just a hair CREEPY. I've only done one of the Trials and MAN was it a bitch...I also beat the Monster Arena (lame prize from Morrie) with the help of one monster: Mazin! That Liquid Metal Slime of Morrie's didn't stand a chance. :lol: I suggest that team for anyone struggling with the Arena.
