OC fact game: Draconia wanted to learn how to play instruments due to her synesthesia. Her favourite instrument is flute but she can't play it because she doesn't breathe. (That's 2 facts...)

My most musically talented character is Theo. He had a divine voice and plays a few different string instruments, but unfortunately he has become a mute. At least he can still play the guitar however.

I finally caught up and I am extremely unsurprised that you gave up on Caravan Heart. You got a lot farther than I did though, so kudos to you for that. (BTW, have you played DQ 7?)

I’m surprised I made it further than you, but I completely understand why if so because holy cow the combat and exploration systems are NOT fun.I haven’t played DQ7 yet :D I’ve only beaten 1/2/3/M/M2/8 and have tried Caravan Heart obviously, and have played some of Heroes (need to beat that) but I haven’t tried or beaten any others yet

I was tagged by @demonsparrow​ to answer some questions !

1) What is your favourite song, and why? 

My favorite song is probably Tsukema Tsukeru by Kyary Pamyu Pamyu even though there are many more songs I really enjoy. The general message of the song, that is about self-confidence, mixed with the general style of Kyary and the music itself are why I picked this one !

2) Has anything made an impact on you to become a better person?

I don’t really know how to answer this question - but being told by several people that I would not manage to do anything on my own and live like an actual adult convinced me to do the exact opposite. In fact, I’m moving out in two weeks.

3) If you could be an animal for one day what would you choose?

A house cat, to have nothing to worry about.

4) What’s the best place you’ve traveled? 

Tokyo of course ! My favorite place in Tokyo is probably the Asakusabashi district, where the place my dad and I rented was located. We explored it very much and knew it like the back of our hand at the end of our trip. The atmosphere here is quite unique, there was even some sort of river with a boat ! 

5) What’s your favourite story? (This can be a book, a video game, a folk tale, anything really…)

Hm... The storyline of a game called Klonoa : Door to Phantomile really stuck with me, because it’s a tale with a breathtaking end within a video game. I cried for almost an hour upon finishing it.

6) How many pets do you have? Bonus points if you talk about their personalities!

I have one cat who has a lot of names and who responds to many of them. He has black fur and always liked to talk and meow his opinion about everything. He’s clingy and pouts if you pay attention to another cat ! He also loves to cuddle and will use his paw and claws to move your hand to whatever he wants you to grab for him, such as food.

7) Is there any fictional character you relate to?

Blaze the cat from Sonic the Hedgehog was my childhood idol because I related and looked up to her...! Now I don’t relate to her as much, but she really was important to me back then.

8) What is a genre that you absolutely can’t stand?

I have no idea if that’s a genre in itself but the French school systems love to make their students read books in which the action is extremely slow and descriptions are plentiful and totally useless. A real snorefest. I also am not fond of poetry in general.

9) Somebody offers you 1 billion dollars to murder a stranger. Would you do it?

Asking me that kind of question when the issue of student loans start to become relevant for me might not be the best idea. In all seriousness, I wouldn’t do it !

10) Do you have a favourite mythological creature?

are sylveons a suitable answer. 

11) What came first - the chicken or the egg?

I would assume the chicken did ?

How do you feel about people who ask a lot of questions? I.e. questions about what certain tests are for, what certain medications do specifically, precisely how a certain condition was diagnosed? I'm like that when I take my pets to the vet, and I dread coming across as annoying, but I really want to learn as much as I can. I like to think I don't come across as questioning my vet's judgment. I want to learn but I also want to have a good relationship with the vets!

If these hypothetical question askers actually listen to the answers, then I have no problems with them at all.

It does get a bit challenging if they’re asking specific phamacodynamic questions about plasma half-life and rates of intestinal absorption, or what country and state pharmaceuticals were manufactured in, but general questions as you’d listed are perfectly fine. It’s actually part of our role to be able to explain what we do, and why.

It’s not questioning our judgement. It’s trying to understand what the heck is going on, and it’s better coming from us than from Dr Google.

The only time it is a bit annoying is when I’m called to the phone or front desk between consults for a “quick, ten second question” that turns out to be a ten minute conversation, and then I’m running late for whatever I was supposed to be doing.

Perhaps they're a minority I just happen to encounter a lot. Seems like everywhere I go on the internet, when people talk about Mario 64 DS, they complain about the controls. I know @shylax especially dislikes them too. I understand the complaint; going from an analogue stick to a D-pad seems more constricting. I suppose I just got used to it easily.

demonsparrow replied to your video “That’s a bit more story than DQ1 gave us, which is to be expected. But...”

OH BOY THIS IS YOUR FIRST DW II RUN? AMAZING. I WILL BE FOLLOWING THIS.

Yep! It’s about time and I’ve been having a Dragon Quest itch lately.

“Dragon Warrior Monsters”

I like this but I don't think it does justice to the story and characters sadly. However it's accurate in that the story isn't the selling point.

If I recall I think you said the same thing a few years back when I posted it :P

We talked about how the game has a few lore hints or tones that are heavy if you think of them, but my stance remained that it’s not really a “story” game.

The impact it’s made on either of us goes to show that the combination of what it has to offer has made an impact for certain! So if the story held heavier weight to you than it did for me then that is part of why it’s stuck with you as long as it has for me :)

“Dragon Warrior Monsters”

Also it's Warubou, not Warabou :P

I’m not about to defend any typos from back then, but I’d assume I took the name from a source of some sort that held a different spelling.

I’d ASSUME, lol.

@imperial-scrolls-of-honor

This is the game that got me into the series, and I still hold it dear to my heart. I’m replaying it and need to write out a breeding chart to course, I maxed out my farm slots and can’t take in any new monsters.

Same here! I wasn’t an RPG player as a kid beyond maybe Paper Mario and Pokemon so I tried this at a cousin’s when they said it was like pokemon.

It was my first time hearing the wonderful DQ themes or seeing any of the monsters and I’ll always love it for that.
