Is Dragon Quest 9 a good entry without its online features

No. Like 1/4th of the game is locked behind downloadable content. Just spoof the servers or use a save editor, it's 100% worth it.

The DLC makes up a pretty big chunk of the game, but you can easily unlock it with a save editor.

It's perfectly playable solo, but playing that game with 3 other friends and doing all of the online content is why that game is so heavily lauded.

>>712829617 (OP)
Yes, but huge amount of contents are locked behind it, just download a save with all the online quests unlocked already and you are fine

I know DQ9 was relatively popular on the ds but how did anyone ever find that many people to do online with

If you get the cheat that enables the dlc content it's a 9/10 game , it's insane how much content is in the dlc and how much of the post-game there is

>>712829617 (OP)
if you like the short games

>>712829617 (OP)
Yeah, it's very short for a dq game without it, but the class switching and tension mechanic had me hooked

They didn't give a fuck about the west back then. DQ's popularity in Japan doesn't need to be explained and Japan has always been a handheld first country. Finding 3 other friends with a DS and Dragon Quest wouldn't have been hard in Japan at all.

absolutely, obviously it was made with online in mind so a lot of stuff feels a bit weird, the crafting system is the one thing that really got fucked over
the extra content is really good too of course but doing just the main story is already a pretty complete meal
just make sure you don't have a meme party so you don't have to struggle without the extra farming spots and gear

>>712829617 (OP)
Yes it is, the multiplayer aspect of it is worthless as you need it only for the Inn rankings and nothing else.
Get a save editor for the dlc because cheat codes will fuck your save, for example talking to Jona once you enable the cheats will trigger her quest again and will cause the player to clip through walls.

This.

>early 2010s, commute between Seattle and Redmond every day
>get like 2 or 3 3DS Streetpasses per month despite it being a dense metropolitan area
>take a vacation to Tokyo for two weeks in 2013
>easily get over 50 Streetpasses every time I take a half-hour walk through Akihabara
That was a very clarifying moment on the differences between the enthusiasm Japanese have for technology versus Americans who just think videogames are still some dark secret they have to hide from friends and family.

the streetpass stuff is kinda odd in the west because barely anyone even knew what it was and turned it on

>>712832840
Instructions:
>turn on Streetpass in options
>put 3DS into Sleep Mode
>keep 3DS on your person
>walk around with it in the vicinity of other people who also do the above steps
Americans are braindead if they can't follow these basic instructions. I hope Trump fails at bringing manufacturing and industrial jobs back to the US, because Americans are legitimately too retarded to mine coal or assemble simple parts on a conveyor belt. Burgers are literally stupider and dirtier than even pajeets.

Does anyone have any links or guides as to how to unlock the online content for my next run?

>>712829617 (OP)
yes, it's one of my favorite DQ games.

>>712829617 (OP)
play Inazuma Eleven 2, it's also an RPG by the same guys on the same console and it's kino
