 Welcome back everyone to another episode of Let's Play, Dragon Quest XI-S that goes up in the Lucid Vage Definitive Edition on Nintendo Switch, not a very long title at all. Last episode was kind of a bonus episode where we were just spending lots of time in a casino getting lots and lots of tokens and luck is very much on my side. As you can see, we have over 11,000, not 11,000, 60,000. So we have a ton of tokens, we have enough for this really awesome sword they have in there. Hello? Maybe you'll go home a millionaire. I'm not going to go home a millionaire because you guys only do tokens, you don't do money. They don't actually do real gold coins that you can use in stores. If they did that, I'd be rich right now, I'd be spending that money right now crazy, but they do useless gold slot tokens that you can only exchange them for prizes here. And we're going to do that, we're going to exchange them for prizes. So here it is, the casino after hours. That guy's still asleep and I'm going to knock over his cards. Senor, why would you do such a thing? Because I'm evil. The evil luminary. Hello there. Whoa, is she nice? Yeah, everybody able to house cards and everybody someone comes and knocks it over. Well that someone is me, as you can see I'm bad to the bone that don't look like it. So anyway, we should probably cash in these tokens because we'll just cash them in. Alright, 66,638, the platinum sword. This will make me so strong, it'll make me a lot stronger, it'll be a sword I won't trade for a while. Alright, 50,000 tokens and I'll be holding onto that and I'll equip it. Alright, holy crap, look at it, look at it on his back. Look at that sword, whoa, that is so cool. My new sword. Let's check it out even closer. Wait no, that thing is pretty sick. It's got like the red on it and the gold. Probably really tough too. I completely forgot why I was in this town. Oh yeah, I was supposed to see Don Rodrigo, I forgot about that. He's supposed to let us through. Also the inn in this town is really expensive. It's like, it's too expensive. Let's check out the rest of the town though, let's explore a little bit. It can't be 300 gold. I was gonna check out the stores though. Maybe it'll become a millionaire. If that casino gave out real money, I'd be so rich right now. It would not even be funny, but it doesn't give real money. So what am I gonna do? There was a girl here who was reclining on the chair, I was gonna talk to her. She's gone, I missed my opportunity. You know what's funny is every character in Dragon Quest, they don't like disappear at night, they actually go to bed and you can find them somewhere in the town. We're being really creepy now looking for that girl who was reclining. She was a dancer girl. And this girl was walking around outside a second ago. Oh, some gentleman said nice things about your clothes. Who's that guy? Wait, you met a gentleman on the way into town. Interesting. What does this guy have to say? Without proper pepper, the flavor is all wrong. Oh, pepper from Gandolia? Sure, I'll get it from him. Okay, okay, okay, I don't care. Alright, I'll get your pepper bud. Shiver me timbers, the quest. What are you cooking? Oh, seafood. That sounds very delicious. If only I was a guest here and not loitering around. Maybe I could have some of that seafood. Let's go upstairs. See, this guy's talking to his girlfriend. Let's check out what they're saying. They didn't know that you can get out into the open sea via sail through sea gates. Sea gates aren't open because Don Roger goes in close. They just got married and they're here for their honeymoon. These people are getting married and I'm too busy running around the world fighting evil, the forces of evil. I remember these people. They're talking about their kids and stuff and that one guy said he wanted to send his daughter to camp. These are our kids. This is not weird at all. Let's just go back outside. I remember they were sitting outside before. Anything in here? Nope, it doesn't look like it. It's so fun exploring random people's houses in this game. Alright, let's head back down and explore more houses before we talk to Don Rodrigo. Don Rodrigo, right? He is the man who trains all the knights in Erdrea. They all go to him, to his academy. They train and he teaches them about chivalry. He teaches them about honor. It's pretty badass and he also looks badass mustache. Wait, wait, wait. Six brightly colored orbs. Each kingdom had their own. Oh, interesting. Those must be the orbs we're looking for. Also, the guy who took the rainbow, this is his house. The guy who bought the rainbow from Sultan. And he used the money that he spent to build this place. This must be an item shop. Let's view their wares. They even have an upstairs floor. A souvenir. What kind of souvenirs do they have? Admittance, huh? Wow. The deafness will be higher. Fairy fluff. Well, I don't think I care about any stuff. Let's just go. Oh, I didn't even check the armor and weapon shop yet. Who's this? Your sister? Oh, I remember her from outside. Yeah, Don Rodrigo teaches them swordsmanship, chivalry, and all that capillary stuff. And the ones who make the gray, they get to join the Heliodorian army. So Hendrik must have come here when he was younger, right? Because he is a Heliodorian knight, so Don Rodrigo taught all of them. Who knows, maybe if things would be different, I would have been taught by Don Rodrigo also. If my kingdom had a gun shot. Oh, hello there. I like her outfit. Many Don Rodrigo students buy their weapons from our shop. All right, let's see what good stuff you got. A blue broad sword to make us all weaker. A lolly stick to make her a bit stronger. Hypno whip. A battle fork. To be honest, there's nothing here that's that good. But we do need armor. Armor is a higher priority, if I'm being honest. Okay, so let's see. 107, 140 for the headband. Is it defense? A bronze helmet. It's not going to do much, to be honest. Full plate. This is not like, it doesn't make a huge difference. There's no point. Maybe getting a gold platter for Serena would be good. Or a steel shield for myself. I thought I had one already. There's too much money though. Like seven more. Fine, I'll get it for myself. All right, I got that. And I should sell my iron shield. I'm the only person who can use heavy armor anyway. Okay, and I'll buy some bronze helmet. Or a feather headband or a steel shield. And I'll buy the bronze helmet. And that'll be it. And let's burn upstairs and rummage through their things. Oh, they have a kid. They must be like, dear brother come back safe. Is her brother off somewhere? Oh, they got a book here too. A diary of Tattoo de Smith. Black Disappointment, the metal school for Bidsmen. It's a girl's school. Interesting. What are they talking about? They come from a snowy country far north. The girl dancing on the beach over there. She understands. Oh, that must be the girl who's reclining their date. Maybe she could see her. There's a girl dancing on the beach. Ah, yes, I see her now. She was hanging out earlier. I gotta go talk to her, obviously. Oh, they're hell-y adoring soldiers. Wow. He has a quest for me. You like bunny girls, see? Chico. I like bunny girls very much. No one would urge her to like bunny girls as much as me. Well, I might want to argue with that. After all, I do like them quite a bit. I've loved them ever since I was a little boy. I saw bunny girls so beautiful I just obsessed with them. He's never seen another one. Oh, he likes Jade. Yeah, sure. I can put one on for her. Ah, yes. I'm sure you know the beautiful bunny costume is made up of three essential elements. Bunny ears, bunny suit, and a pair of fish, and a ton of stockings. Okay, cool. This guy's a man of culture. He wants to see Jade dressed up, and I will fill his wish as he is my elder. Ah, yes, I do want to dance with her. Yes, let's get dancing now. Okay, let's go... Wait, wait. Hey, out of my way, Jade. Nobody likes you. I'm trying to dance here. Oh, yeah. All right, that's enough of that. There's no response. He's lost in the music. You know, it's funny I can't even hear the music. Maybe they should, like, next time in the next Dragon Quest, they should make actual music come out of the guy. But yeah, where's the heck is Don Rodrigo? Let's stop wasting time. Let's go talk to him. It's been like 10 minutes of me just running around and remembering my mouth, talking about stupid stuff. Most famous honored umbrella in Porto Valor. We might enter. I shall enter. Don Rodrigo's rich. That's what happens when you're a knight. Must be his butler. He has a mullet. This guy looks kind of like Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4, doesn't he? Like with the mullet and the moustache. It's an observation. Good to see you looking so wet. Ah, so Don Rodrigo's not here. You can't see his awesome moustache. That's a shame. And fighting. So Rob, Rob and Don Rodrigo are good friends. Even though he knows he's not a king. You couldn't open the sea gate. Right. That's what we needed. Rob really has a connection. He knows everyone, you know. He's been around the world. He is so worldly that he knows Don Rodrigo. Even though Don Rodrigo doesn't know that Rob's a king. Alright, so we can head onwards. Of course we can't explore the place because we can't go in there. Don Rodrigo's not in there. Alright bud, that's fine. Alright, here we go. This is the stuff we need. Thomas Diary. Signorito Norberto defeated Signor Hendrik, where it can scarcely express how thrilled I was to see such a display. Norberto. Norberto left today. There's passants in Norberto left and we still hear nothing. Signor Norberto. Chivalric Ideal. This is good. Chivalry. All who dare to call themselves knights cherish this above all else. It is a criterion by which our worth is weighed. You're not sure if your duties or your training strive to exceed your limitations, be they physical or mental in all times, whoever you encounter be well-mannered and gentle. This is what it means to be a knight. Never go back on your word. These are important lessons to learn. Who's Norberto? Who do you think that is? Don Rodrigo had a son, but he ran away from home long ago before I started working here. Interesting, so Don Rodrigo had a son who left. That's interesting. That must be Norberto. All right, onwards now. I'm nasty looking monsters around here. So let's just rush through. If I only brought the horse actually, that would be nice. There's a rideable slime knight. Okay, so the ship should be down there. It's nighttime right now after all. Okay, I'm gonna have to cut through this cave right here. And there's a little sailboat that we took from the ship. Okay, so... You should be here. Oh, there it is. There's Dave or Daav or whatever his name is. What's your boss back on board? It's Daav and then is it onwards now? Wait, I don't know where I'm going. Oh, I'm going the exact wrong way. Okay, so... And of course, we waste a lot of time. Well, this is as good an opportunity as any to test on my new sword. All right, Eric. I don't know what you got. My speed is so low, like... Eric's really fast compared to everyone else, but I gotta get faster. Wow, 42? Surrender your soul! All right, not too bad. Not too shabby. That's a good sword. Oh, Eric, oh no. Here we go. All right, open the gates, Cervantes. His name is Cervantes and he's a servant. That's so funny. That's a good pun. Lowering the gates. Thank you, Cervantes. Waves. What the heck? Why is self-hiding behind Eric? So, I don't know about you, but judging by what that girl said in the manner, why don't you just think about that and piece that together? You must know, Cervantes... At first, I had no idea what the deal was and I'm sure some of you don't, some of you do. I'll just leave it at that. We don't need to talk about it more. Let the story unfold by itself. Now, there's a docking point up ahead. This is going to be tough because the enemies in this little canal are stronger and you can't avoid them. I hate these mist guys. They're so fast. Everyone's dazzled. Oh my goodness. Mist, of course. Get it? Because they're mist. What if I flee? I won't. It won't work, right? Yeah, I won't. I think DQ11 is the one game that has the hardest chance of fleeing. Like, you really can't flee in this game. Oh, wow. My new shield is pretty badass. I've spoken to mine in the eye. Who else wants some? Oh, level 19, mid-heel. I'll use the skill points later. Oh, 300 monsters I've killed already. Wow. That's impressive. Gotta say. What was that? There's a beam of light going upwards. Alright, what is this right here? Getting misty out. Or foggy, as they would say. Alright, we're finally getting out of the mist. Oh my, look at that. It's a shipwreck. What do you think, Dove? Sorry, Dove. They just called me Doleface. Wish I would grow up free. Sorry, you have no clue where we are. The island doesn't appear in many of my maps. Oh no. What's stuck here? What's he looking at? I wouldn't be surprised if this boat was built long before I was born. I can't help wondering if we've strayed into the Valorian Triangle. The Valorian Triangle. Like the the Bermuda Triangle, except the Dragon Quest version of that. Ah, here we go. That's the good stuff. Ah, a mini-metal. Completely worthless. Completely and utterly worthless until you get 200 of them. Eric, what do you think? Something is not right about this place. No wind, no waves. It's almost, feels like time's stopped all together. Serena. Pretty little island this is. And some prints. The little island from the picture book you read. Wonder what picture book she's talking about. Oh. Can I grab that? It's mine? What the hell do I want a seashell? What do you use that? Veronica and her little cute little outfit. Absolutely nothing here. Let's not waste any more time than we have to. Jaden, what do you think? Whoa. Oh my goodness, this girl. Rhymes. Oh well then. She's a fish person. It looks like that. She always rhymes. That's the thing about these mermaids in the Dragon Quest universe. They speak in rhymes all the time. Okay, that's kind of cheating. Fright it. She just threw that in there. The mermaid's burden. She's gonna live down there with you. How's he gonna do that? He's a human. Mind pearl. Is she perhaps talking about the next orb that we need? Good thinking, Veronica. Listen. This is not a good idea. I played this game last year and this is gonna be a waste of time. So I'm gonna say no. Whoa. I'm gonna say no because I just kind of want her to do that to me again. She doesn't realize that I actually like it. Okay, I'll say yes now. Jeez. That's very shallow water she disappeared in. Alright, team. Let's move out. Where's Veronica? Oh yeah, forgot. She's in my pocket. Hello, Michelle. This is gonna be really, really annoying. Sailors hate her kind. This is gonna be really annoying because it's a really far away. Oh, I don't even know where we are actually. Yeah, we're in the middle of nowhere. Where the heck is... Okay, there is. I had a word with that Michelle, lovely girl, and you ain't gonna believe what it is. She's only gonna use her mermaid powers to get the stallion back and move it again. She used her mermaid powers. What's your boss back about a stallion then? Is it? Yeah, I think so. Alright, let's check out the map. Alright, you see that corner, right? The bottom right corner. That's Lana Lulu, so that's a really, really long way there. It's annoying, but we gotta do it. How about that island on the way? We should check out that island. Yeah, that island right there. Let's do a pit stop there. Might be good. Might be some good loot here. I think there's nothing here actually, than I think about it. Oh, damn. These guys are annoying. They're fast. Oh crap. Leave Eric alone. I wish I could just kick all their asses at the same time. Alright, uh, Spinchilla. Oh, that didn't do anything. If Veronica was here, she'd be able to bang all of them. Oh, you dazzle. Oh, so much for dazzling me. Harvest Moon. Like the video game. Okay. We're all really tough. Come on. Hopefully there's somewhere we're here to rest. Okay. Handy heal all. If you're in the middle of the field and you need a quick fix up, open the menu and press the Y button to perform handy heal all. Yes, I'm aware of that. Insula Incognita. Remember when we were running for the garden case on our Helidor? One in the world alone had its plus points. We're going on a proper adventure over the gang of true blue buddies. Eric's enjoying himself. Whoa. He's asking me. Typical grandpa asking me if I had a girlfriend yet. When I was your age I had to beat the girls away with a stick. Literally. Oh man, he's great. He's asking me about a girlfriend. I mean, across the ocean. He had to beat the girls away with a stick. Well, he was the king after all. I mean, I imagine women will be very attracted to him. Well then, there's a lot of hammerheads. There's some trolls here. There's some blue sparkly things around here too. There's brownies all over the place here. Whoa. This is a crop circle, isn't it? This is weird. What's the deal with the markings on the floor? I wish I could see them from a higher vantage point. Really interesting. This is really weird. I can't really see from here, but that's weird. Is there a higher vantage point around here? I've never seen anybody talk about this before. Is there like a place I can stand and look? It's all nonsensical from here. I can't tell anything. That's weird. You know, let's go around and then we can look at it from the top. I hope I don't have to hack the game and try to do like a camera mod. Oh crap, these have got giant cyclopses. I'm not really strong enough to beat them yet. And we probably don't have a key for this door. No. I don't have the jail key. The thieves key. In Dragon Quest 8, you get the thieves key relatively early. You get like a couple hours into the game. Alright, what the heck is this? What is this? I never even noticed this before. There's like... I don't know what this is. What the heck? Insula Incognita. It's like some sort of drawing? Is it like a monster or something? I don't know what I'm looking at. Very weird. I'm just like looking at this thinking, what am I looking at? Maybe it's like a dragon or something? I have no clue. The NPCs on this island either, is there? There's a bunch of trolls. Not of the internet quality... variety. Alright, this is a waste of time. Let's head back to the boat and go back. Yeah, I don't remember this at all. I gotta talk to my friends about this, because this is really strange. If you know any theories or anything, let me know. I really like the overall theme of Dragon Quest XI. It's really great. Alright, where's DaV? There it is. Alright, now we are going... that way. This is behind all the kingdoms and everything. This is behind Hato. Hato is right over there. Okay, okay, come on. That's raining too. Can we flee? You know who I'm gonna choose? Veronica, you're gonna listen to me. She's following orders, of course. You are going to follow orders. And we're gonna have a good time. Hey, leave her alone. Alright, bang. Mang. Hip drop. That's a good one. It's very suggestive. What can he use? Rackle. Good job. Veronica cannot catch a break. And some crab, that's what it's called. Oh, Eric leveled up. Alright, heading onwards. Close, I think. Ah, jeez. I would run, but it's not... You're not gonna be able to run. I hate that guy. But my attack is actually stronger when I don't use lame slash now. Silvando leveled up. Oh, cool. I'll show you a cool exploit with the pet powers later on. What is this? Secret area? Or not? You can't dock here. There's some boats over there. These guys are really annoying. Hey, comments on it. I missed. Okay, that didn't do anything. There's some boats. Nice. Oh. They can talk to me from all over there. There's Lonlulu right there. That wasn't too bad. Okay, nice. Nice job. Alright, where's the team at? There's a dove over there. Oh, hello there. So, you know that traveler from Octagonia who was getting scammed by the dude? I think he's from here. He's from Lonlulu because he was a bit darker scammed and he had the outfit that they wear here. I mean, makes sense. So, he was like a traveler. I wonder if his mom's in here in the village actually. His impersonation is really good. Oh, and Lonlulu. Hello there. What did she have to say? Kai's mom is up at the church. Oh, so Kai is here then. Hello, cat. There's a lot of people here. She only got married last month and he went off to fight the tankitacular. Oh, hopefully he's okay. Crazy woman who lives in our village. She's totally purple. Oh, she's pupil. She goes up to the top of the cliff and fires a cannon. Oh, that cannon up there? I don't see it actually. Interesting, so she has a cannon. Oh. There's an enormous tentacular up here in the sea nearby. Who knows this village? I wish I could go sail with them, but it's too old and frail. So he's like the leader. Wonder where there are religious places up to the very end. We'll make our way there. What the heck? These are kids. What are they doing here? Where's their parents? Ain't nobody here? Hello? Oh, she's sick. Oh, no. Well, they're good kids, I think, because they're taking care of the business while she's sick. Where am I going to sleep? I guess I should get some rest. I'm feeling too good. Oh, wait. 100? I did not want to spend 100. Okay, a little bit buff artists. We'll move on. I got a bar here. Not very lively. You know, let's go save and then we'll explore afterwards. Could be through here. Yeah, this way maybe. Yeah, this is where it is. This has to be it. Oh. Camel's way here to find some famous pearls, but a giant squid is the other ideas. Oh, no. So there's a giant squid attacking the area. And the church is still up ahead. It's really far back behind the town. Wow, it's behind this gate. They have a gate for their church for once. Here we go. A show. Although Veronica's kind of blending in with them, I didn't realize she was there at first. ​​​ ​The big kahuna was very fond of this Face ​​​ ​and offered him the hand of his beloved daughter. ​​​ ​The Fisherman and the kahuna's daughter agreed to be married. ​​​ ​And the future of the village looked bright ​​​ ​until the day of the storm. The fisherman was caught up in a terrible tempest, and he and his catch were thrown into the ocean. As he sank through the water, he saw the pearls he had gathered shining like stars all around him. The light faded, and he prepared to meet his maker. But instead, he met her, a mermaid more beautiful than any creature he had seen before. She held him in her arms and whispered in his ear, I will give you your life if you give me your soul. That's pretty scary. I got pretty freaked out when I first heard that. And the fisherman did not return. The people of the village thought him dead and held a funeral for him on the beach. But just as they were beginning to sing his soul into the next world, he appeared exhausted but alive. The kahuna's daughter was overjoyed to have her beloved home and stayed by his bedside night and day, nursing him back to health. But the fisherman was no longer the man she knew. All day he would stare out to sea, muttering over and over, I must marry that mermaid. Then one day he threw his fiance aside and ran to the harbor screaming, I must go back to her. The kahuna was furious. He banished the fisherman from the village and burned his boat so he could never set sail again. And so the man who was once the pride of Lonalulu spent the rest of his days alone on Saikiki Beach, haunted by the mermaid who stole his soul. By a story. All for today, children. I'll tell you the rest of the story tomorrow, our friends. Is there anything I can do for you? I'm looking for a fisherman called Kai. Kai, what a coincidence. You must be looking for my son. I'm afraid he's not here at the moment. All the men have sailed west to fight the giant squid that's been attacking our ship. This is Kai's mom. If you want to hurry things along, maybe you could go lend a hand. Once that monster's dealt with, they'll all come back to the village, sure enough. That looks like another boss fight. That's the only danger out on the seas. Don't let a crafty mermaid make you all pupule. I'd hate to see you go crazy. Doesn't that have an old lady voice? She's like a young lady voice. Let's see what the team thinks. Where's the gang at? Oh. Veronica's really pissed. Had to see and find the fishing fleet. The fishermen are not fighters. They don't understand a chance. Okay, so Tentacle is really tough. So obviously when you're fighting a tough enemy, you must save. Don't save, you're gonna die. All right. Seafarer, save. It's almost 20 hours. It's not too bad at all. All right, you know what? I think that's been a lot of exploring for today. We'll end today's episode here. Next episode, we'll go off to sea and fight that Tentacular. And we'll, you know, talk to Kai. So yeah, thanks for watching. See you next time.
