United Statesmomentum is incredibly important in this game and is imperative in making the town square skip (as well as the one in stone hill) much easier. learn to carry the momentum from your charge into a jump (charge, let go of the button then very quickly press and hold x). at the peak of your jump you'll want to glide for just a tiny bit, but making sure you get a glide in right before you charge so you'll gain a tiny bit of height from the charge. holding up while doing this also helps.
in gnorc cove, press and hold x right before the gnorc lifts up the barrel
here, i've calmed down a bit and i understand that things like 'security breach' aren't exactly the best terms to be using in this scenario
but isn't it at least kinda fucked that every other month some leaderboard gets hijacked and people just have to assume that they need to change their passwords again? yes i know reusing passwords is bad and that doesn't stop people from doing it, but telling people to change their passwords isn't a security measure, and there's no excuse to not have any with a site as big as this, especially when there's some major case happening this frequently. it would be nice to know for certain whether or not my account has actually been compromised or at potential risk, rather than just having to assume the worst. people want actual change. they want to see these features implemented. not even more empty promises from a site that has already been the subject of plenty of controversies in the past regarding how it's run. it's really not a secret at this point that speedrunners have been growing more sick and distrusting of this site. shifting the heat onto the user base and using the "you do it yourself" excuse isn't a very good look, and shows absolutely no sign that you're interested in actually fixing the issues with this site.
when your site has had several security breaches in the past year alone and lacks numerous features that are 100% standard on nearly all websites, some of which have been promised for literal years at this point™. when plenty of people within this community are plenty aware of how poorly managed this site is and the people who run it
nah keep blaming your user base while never actually fixing any of the major problems with this site
the late stage capitalism of someone taking away features, bringing them back in some botched form, and people praise you for it
at least some people will always see past it
what if i wanna bombard my leaderboard's viewers with merzbow? :((((((
i for one am an advocate of adding 64 Orb 10 Portal NBS No Fireball Skip No DJ NG+ All Abilities All Skill Points All Enemies Some Signs Cutscene% w/ early Ripto & 100% Dragon Shores NTSC-J Emu to the leaderboards why not that
"Dragon Quest has become a cultural phenomenon in Japan.[141] According to Ryutaro Ichimura and Yuji Horii, Dragon Quest has become popular enough that it is used as a common topic for conversation in Japan,[142] and is considered by the Japanese gaming industry as Japan's national game.[111] William Cassidy of GameSpy claims that "the common wisdom is that if you ask someone from Japan to draw 'Slime,' he'll draw the onion-like shape of the weak enemies from the game."[102][143] With the Japanese release of Dragon Quest IX in January 2009, a new eatery inspired by the series called Luida's Bar was opened in Roppongi, a well-known nightlife hotspot in Minato, Tokyo. This was notable due to the usual center of Tokyo's gaming culture being Akihabara rather than Roppongi. The venue provides a meeting location for fans of the series: styled in the fashion of a Medieval public house like its virtual counterpart, its food is directly inspired by both items and monsters found in the games. It was described by a Western journalist as a cross between a Disneyland resort and a maid café[144][145] Dragon Quest also served as the inspiration for a live-action television drama. Yūsha Yoshihiko initially aired in July 2011, with a sequel series being produced and released the following year.[146] For its 2012 April Fool's Hoax, Google announced a "NES version" of its Google Maps service, which uses graphics and music licensed from Dragon Quest.[147]
There is an urban myth that the release of Dragon Quest III caused a law to be passed in Japan banning the sale of Dragon Quest games or video games in general except on certain days such as weekends or national holidays.[11][148][149] When III was released in Japan, over 300 schoolchildren were arrested for truancy while waiting in stores for the game to be released.[150] The rumor claims there was a measurable dip in productivity when a Dragon Quest game was released and although muggings of Dragon Quest titles became so widespread there were hearings in the Japanese Diet, no law was ever passed. However, the Japanese release of every Dragon Quest title continued to be on a Saturday until the release of Dragon Quest X, which was released on Thursday, August 2, 2012. Nevertheless, each new Dragon Quest launch is widely anticipated.[11][148][149]
Dragon Quest's music has been influential on various sectors of the performing arts. It is the first video game series to receive live-action ballet adaptations,[151] and musical concerts and audio CDs were produced based on the Dragon Quest universe.[96] Since 1987 the series' music is performed annually in concert halls throughout Japan.[11] Early Dragon Quest concerts inspired Nobuo Uematsu's Final Fantasy compositions.[152]"
dragon quest is also mainstream in japan next you'll be saying the same things about shin megami tensei
you underestimate how popular dragon quest is in japan
just because it's not as "popular" (which is highly debatable, really) doesn't mean you shouldn't credit it as being the first (and even then you can argue that even DQ isn't the first)
"Square invented jRPG (1st), "
dragon quest was before final fantasy
if you haven't been convinced that nostalgia is the worst thing ever yet then this will do it for you
if you liked the job system in ff3 you should definitely play ff5, as it expands upon it and opens up a ton of possiblities as far as an rpg with a minimal story or characters, i guess just other early jrpgs like final fantasy 1 and dragon quest 1-4 (ff2 is p story intensive for its time so not so much that one) and bravely default for a more modern take on the job system
