DQIX was the first game I ever picked up as a 9 year old girl. Whilst my friends were playing Nintendogs, I was off battling in Coffinwell (it took me ages to get past Ragin’ Contagion I swear). It will always have a special place in my heart. To see it still being played makes me unbelievably happy. Mega congratulations on completing the whole game! Also love the “come at me you bastard!” Peak Britain.
Congrats on being him!! DQIX is my favourite RPG of all time and I can't wait for an official HD remake with full coop support. This was a great journey!
@@roach5606 well on TGS on 2022 they mentioned, it would be easy to do with adding even more content (because they still have all the code for it) and decided that it will be switch not mobile if they do it, so after DQ12 and the 2D HD remake it could be a possibility with the only problem being that Nintendo is kind of letting the switch die preparing for the next console
The ending got me all emotional, I've been a huge fan of Dragon Quest from a very young age and I love watching other people enjoying the games as much as I do, congrats on 100%!!!
This is one of my favorite games of all time so it was so cool to see people still playing it. What a great series that shows everything this game has to offer with awesome commentary
You popped out of nowhere in my recommendation but for once that's a fantastic thing Good job dude, I haven't watched the playthrough but I still got emotional at the end, what a journey you've accomplished Keep rocking in the free world 🔥
dang the ending to this series is slightly more emotional than i thought thanks for making this lets play this game is underrated, i have been playing since childhood, what will be next Zak?
Great stuff, love watching these. If you compare the first few to the later episodes you have improved as a TH-camr so much, hope to see you go some places big!
congratz on the nokturnus kill so amazing and loved this playtrough of DQ9 will defenitly rewatch it all when I start my grinding again to do a similar feat as you do inspire me to go after the legacy bosses lv99 as well also will you do other Dragon quest game playtrough's
Really enjoyed this play through! I’ve never made it to the legacy bosses but this made me go back to do so, if i actually beat 99 nokturnus 12 year old me would be screaming 😭
seeing 900hp on a character is crazy with you hitting over 200 hp, i just started a new game on an emulator cause i played this when i was younger. back then i barely hit for 70 to 99 per attack on a crit if i got lucky. growing up makes understanding this game an entirely different level as now i actually care about buying stat boost items for my party and am not focused saving up my gold for the strongest sword. though im stuck on a quest 002, it wants me to use 4 emotes in a row which i recall you could press a button to do on the nintendo DS but for the emulator i am at a loss. ive tried changing the order of them and still doing them sequentially but still no change.
Oh my heavens this is gorgeous, I’ve played through this game at least twelve times by now and it’s BY FAR my favorite of all time. But SHEESH, the legacy bosses hit reeeeal different. Shame I can’t fight any of the super wicked ones myself anymore😅 But I grew up on this game, and needless to say, nothing has recaptured this entry since. Hoping 12 will let us at least customize our party. Could be cool if each of them has a “story” of sorts, and while we can’t change their voices we can at least change their appearance! Or just have no voices for cutscenes and let us change voices as we please! After all 99 percent of the time there’s no reason a character looks the way they do beyond “design”.
You can still fight them - just need the save editor to download the extra DLC quests (easily done if you're playing on PC emulator, bit more complicated on DS). I cover it here: th-cam.com/video/LtVAAINBS_c/w-d-xo.html Would be great if 12 did a Hogwarts Legacy style-voice for the other characters where the character is customisable appearance-wise but there's just one or two selectable audio voices (where you can just change the pitch). Would love them to have a story as well. Basically, if they combine the customisation from DQ9 with the characters and back stories from DQ8 or DQ11, then it'd be perfect
Cool video! I'm glad to see a play through in 2023. I need to watch the other videos (been watching them out of order). But why do people use falcon slash over fandango. No need to change weapons, 3-5 hits with fandango vs 2 or 4 hits depending on if you use falcon blade or not.
Cheers for watching 🙂 I think it's more because of the sword than the slash as the falcon sword effectively doubles your base attack. I've not tested fandango but I might now!
I can shed some light with my perspective at least. Fandango is actually 3-4 hits (unlike rain of pain *bows* and falcon slash which are guaranteed 4 hits excluding misses). Many people tend to use gladiator in post-game/legacy boss territory, thus stacking flacon slashes with ur gladiators/warriors/armamentalist/etc proves to be much more effective. I think fan (if you’re only gonna have one fan user) is best off for a tank like having a paladin with a maxed out fan stat specifically for reverse cycle (only ability that made fan worth it to me tbh). Oh and then there’s the critical fan like you’ll see here, but that’s a whole other situation for coup de grace…
Gonna take a break for a little while 🙂 Got a RuneScape video from ages ago that I still need to edit, then maybe a DQ11 playthrough sometime in the future
@@douglaslundin4506 he doesn't have time nokturnus is a natural disaster you leave him alone he leaves you alone it would be out of place for him to be a final boss tbh
@@arfanchowdhury3639 Fair enough, that makes sense! XD Though, here's another matter that has nothing to do with the current subject:Why the heck haven't they released DQ Monsters 2 in US and Europe yet? I'm fairly certain you can play as Nokturnus in the 2nd one, anyway!
Ayeee the king of dragon quest has returned~ for the future series can you please try dragon quest XI definitive edition for the pc? I recently got it and would love to see you try it!
One day 😉 Will have a good break first. Will probably need a new graphics card as well because I have a shitload of mods installed and it runs at about 10 fps 😂
Not sure how legit this is for all systems/emulators but I can save file at each turn and what ever he does or kills I can restart and use them to defend while others attack. Helped me to beat the campaign boss and leviathan at lvl 35 party and a few grottos. Idk if that's cheating but it works.
can't believe im watching a dragon quest 9 video that says "1 day ago"
Thanks for watching peeps ❤ May the remake come soon!
praying to every god for a dq9 remake lmaooo
Omg I love this game! Subbed mate! Can I play with you? 🎉

plus 9000 style points for the Blind Man Biff finishing blow ending :)
Gotta love one of the best skills in the game being "AND HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST(PATRICK NO-)". Also max-tension Double-Edge is hilarious.

The soundtrack just fits so perfectly with the situation at the end ! That is actually wild.
Might have fudged that, not gonna lie 😂 Played without the soundtrack on and then edited it in in post. Had to be done to get that perfect ending
This thumbnail was so dope! Never thought I’d see this game again after all these years thanks for the vid
That this game is still played ... It impresses me.
Always.
@@ZakGoble I tried it online but it didnt work ...
i just found this play thru and the time and effort put into this is just incredible. Much respect
thank you for reminding me how intense and enjoyable bossing was in this game omg
This is one of my favorite games of all time so it was so cool to see people still playing it. What a great series that shows everything this game has to offer with awesome commentary
GG and in only ten turns too, well done man. The recap at the end was great too!

Runescape AND DQ9 in the same place? This channel is where it's at.
dang the ending to this series is slightly more emotional than i thought thanks for making this lets play this game is underrated, i have been playing since childhood, what will be next Zak?
Will have a good long break, but maybe a DQ11 playthrough in the future 🙂
@@ZakGoble yes pls
Yoooo...why I didn't find this channel earlier 😭. DQ IX was one of the best game on NDS
Also, I think never been into this level. Just beaten Corvus and didn't do other sidequest. Now this side quest reminds me a lot to Golden Sun series
Huge congratulations for this! You deserved it!
(What a luck for the final fight though haha)

I just restarted a new party on my 3DS, this game is dope.
seeing 900hp on a character is crazy with you hitting over 200 hp, i just started a new game on an emulator cause i played this when i was younger. back then i barely hit for 70 to 99 per attack on a crit if i got lucky.

I felt so bad for corvus. It's kind of a shame that he was even the final boss to begin with.
That's what makes him one of the best DQ villians imo. He's one of the few with a great back story that isn't just evil for the sake of evil
Loved the series!
This magnificent game that I lost along with my wallet a few years back 😭

Blind mans biff kill seals it 🔥
do you mind telling me the emulator you used for your playthrough of the game? if so thanks (sorry if that sounded weird)
It was Desmume X432R in the earlier episodes, and MelonDS in this one and the more recent ones (MelonDS is much better imo!)
@@ZakGoble ok thanks
@@ZakGoble what did you use to make the gams look so good?
@@mrchill6571 Internal resolution enhancements on MelonDS (Config > Video settings > Internal resolution). Mine was set to 6x native.
@@ZakGoble ok thanks
Awesome work.
And this is why you don't mess with Nokturnus. Why he hasn't been the main villain of a DQ game yet, I dunno! XD
Because he destroys the final boss for you
@@arfanchowdhury3639 I mean, he could do that once again one day, but then subsequently take it's place, too! XD

Why do you use a staff for the priest specifically? Isn't it usual to go with a wand? Didn't think staff was suggested for any class
Staff gives +3% evasion chance. Wands give a bit of bonus mp, but I've found the additional evasion chance to be more useful 🙂
It looks so damn crisp
What a legend

@Zak Goble oo I'd reccomend a 1650 ti! 6gb vram ver
I need a lot more than that - my 3060 isn't up to the task! Running in 4K with a load of HD texture mods doesn't come cheap
And now DQ9 100% in Coop Mode
A DQ9 video?!! Thats not shot on a old Camera??
Nice video! I just wanted to know with emulator you use to have so smooth graphics on this game?
Cheers! This was on MelonDS with internal resolution set to x6
@@ZakGoble thanks!
How do you make the game not look so pixelated? Is it a specific emulator?
Yep, through MelonDS 3D resolution scaling
@@ZakGoble very nice wish I had asked sooner haha, just replayed the entire game
can you do a dragon quest hero 2 legacy bosses?
Not sure how legit this is for all systems/emulators but I can save file at each turn and what ever he does or kills I can restart and use them to defend while others attack. Helped me to beat the campaign boss and leviathan at lvl 35 party and a few grottos. Idk if that's cheating but it works.
That's a mod?
How many hours took it for you to finish everything?
Recorded a total play time of 151 hours in this playthrough (but that probably includes a lot of AFK time + time with speed-up/turbo enabled)
Hey I wanted ask how you were able to make the game a lot better? Is it a visual mod for the game or?
Playing on PC using the MelonDS emulator (3D graphics were upscaled by x6)
@@ZakGoble Thanks! 👍

Using the save editor (assuming you're playing on emulator). I cover it here: th-cam.com/video/LtVAAINBS_c/w-d-xo.html
