Yeah yeah, just wait for the later areas, and see if combat remains "§unchallenging"; even with min/maxing. You'll be suprised.
No I won’t.
Also, I hate Flight Simulators. That’s why I don't feel I could give a valuable opinion on them. Maybe you should do the same in some instances?
Well, seeing as I only like crpgs and I have impeccable taste in them, no. But let’s explore your statement. Let’s say you love flight simulators only and have played them for 20+ odd years. (I don’t know anything about flight simulators or flying so I am going to make up terms that sound like they apply). All the flight simulators in the 80’s and early 90’s had everything, and “pitch”, “throttle” and “[something(I can’t think of another flying word)]” were a staple in every flight simulator game. But in the mid to late 90’s flight simulators started to get dumbed-down to appeal to a broader market.
Today, flight simulators have taken two different paths: the top down shooter like the mini game in Jade Empire, whatever those types of flying games are called, and the stripped down flight simulator which is 99% auto-pilot with some discourse with the flight attendants and passengers.
And a new flight simulator is coming out were you know it won’t have [flying word I can’t think of] and throttle, but there is no reason to think it won’t, and every reason to think it has, the pitch element. So you think the game isn’t completely dumbed-down. But you get it and find it doesn’t have pitch, for no reason at all. All the devs had to do was not be retarded and not purposefully stop the pitch function, which would’ve made you happy. So you complain on a flight simulator forum and some freshman tells you that you don’t actually like flight simulators. That analogy has just sealed my fate as an extreme dork, hasn’t it?
Anyway, I found a work around to this game’s problem. I found a save game editor that has been converted to English.

I made a party with a little synergy and sensible distribution. I also made them way under powered so this game can provide a little challenge hopefully.
I knew this game didn’t have TB combat. I played the demo. But what the demo didn’t explain is character creation was going to be so weak, the devs purposefully screwed min-maxers, and combat wasn’t going to be more challenging outside of the start/tutorial area. All my complaints were valid.
p.s.
Nice review Unregistered! Should be on the main page.
It was a rant, not really a review. I'm on the second dragon quest now and its much better with a party I created.
So you got this game and were disappointed it was not turned based, did you happen to read any press on it.
Where did you get this idea? You no read good? I always knew this game was RTwP. I always knew I wouldn't be able to create my own party. I didn't know they were going to stick it right in the rear-end of min-maxers for no good reason.
