Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Square Enix’s latest Dragon Quest X update features details about the jobs in the upcoming RPG. Additionally, the company has introduced a couple of characters from Ogleed.
The new details are as follows:
– Jobs aren’t like the ones in Final Fantasy
– Take on an actual job in the world and carry out job-specific things
– This includes making items and taking on certain quests associated with the job
– Use items you make as your own equipment
– Can sell items
– Quests include daily offerings and more complex mini story events
– Register at the Guild House to take on a job
– Need a recipe before you can make items
– Purchase recipes at shops
– Find rarer recipes in treasure boxes and secret areas
– Make items through a mini-game
– Example: As a weapon smith, pound away at the weapon and make sure each of the meters hits the green zone
– Job experience rises as does your level as you gain experience in your field
– Learn job-specific skills
– These skills can help make valuable items more easily
– King Bagudo: ruler of the Glenn kingdom
– Find the weapon smith guild at this area
– Bagudo is known by his people as a kind hero
– Eidos the Wise Man: can sense changes in the world
– He travels in an attempt to find/stop the source of these changes
– Eidos is a guiding force as you progress
You can find screenshots of the job system and the characters mentioned above right here.

Konno on Mario Kart character and track selection, Retro’s support, innovation leading to change
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno was recently asked a series of questions about the franchise in an interview with IGN. Konno discussed how the roster and tracks are considered, making sure its still accessible when adding in new features, how and why Retro was brought in for Mario Kart 7’s development (though this was previously discussed in Iwata Asks), and more.
In terms of specific, interesting content divulged by Mario Kart’s head honcho, Konno stated that the team thought about adding in Wiggler for Mario Kart Wii, expressed uncertainty about the return of character specific abilities from Mario Kart: Double Dash, and how “the need to significantly change the Mario Kart series will arise if an innovation is developed that will enable more people to enjoy Mario Kart.”
All of Konno’s remarks can be found after the break.
