This game has been sitting on my shelf for years, so I finally decided to play through it.

I just started exploring and I found a T-Rex with an axe right next to the starting town that kills me in one hit.  Other than that, it seems to be pretty cool.

Oh, it's one cool game that's for sure!

That T-rex could become your pet monster if you defeat it btw.

Is it that way for all the monsters running around the map area?

So far I've found a bat and a guy riding on a slime.

Right now I'm dumping all my skill points into Spears and Axes, because apparently that's what I need to kill Metal Slimes.

They're sure are! that Axesaurus is one of main monster member for good half of game.

I recommend collecting rock golems family if you want an overpowered monster team.

Oh and... *snatch gif*

I'll have to check that Pokemon stuff out.  I'm going for a 100% game, like always, so I don't want to miss any monster buddies.

iirc, you can't collect all of the monsters, I think you could only choose 12 or something.

Oh and do dumps all the points into those two weapons, I regretted balancing my weapon points.
(leveling up is sucks in this game, very. I finished the game lvl mid 40)

Yeah, that's why I stopped playing after I bought it.  I forget how far I got, but I screwed all my skills up big time.  I punished my game by making it sit in the corner of my shelf so it could think about what it had done.

Good thing I looked at the Skills before I kept leveling up in DQ8 8D.

I still have to finish the Dragovian Trials though...I think I got to the Metal Dragon...
