Dragon Warrior 2 GBC
« on: September 14, 2008, 06:10:26 AM »
Still had this lying around my HD, so what the hell.  Might as well post it, just to show how Enix de-sucked the Prince of Cannock.

Everyone is taken at about 180,000 experience.  This is definately one game where equal levels doesn't work (the PCs even have different max levels).

Oh, and if some of the names look odd, that's because they were different in the NES version.

Stats-
HP: Blah blah blah
MP: Blah blah blah
Strength: Base stat for attack.
Agility: Determines turn order.  Semi-randomized, like every other DW game.
Grd: Base stat for defense.
Attack: Determines physical attack power.
Defense: How much physical attacks are reduced by.

Prince of Lorasia
Level 28

Sword of Thunder [+95 Attack, itemcast Infernos]
Loto Armor [+75 Defense]
Loto Shield [+30 Defense]
Loto Helmet [+20 Defense]

HP: 161
MP: 0
Strength: 112
Agility: 82
Grd: 38

Attack: 207
Defense: 163

Fight: 90 damage

He can opt for Magic Armor [+35 defense, halve magic damage] or Evade Cloak [+35 defense, +25% evade] instead of Loto Armor.

Comments: Standard physical attacker, with strong attack and defense and low speed.  Doesn't really stand out enough to do better than Middle, though.

Prince of Cannock
Level 27

Light Sword [+70 Attack, itemcast Surround]
Fur Coat [+60 Defense]
Heal Shield [+18 Defense, itemcast Healmore]

HP: 138
MP: 94
Strength: 54
Agility: 93
Grd: 43

Attack: 124
Defense: 121 (96 without Fur Coat)

Fight: 50 damage
Healmore: 93 HP healing (5 MP)
Firebane: 58 Fire-elemental damage to all enemies (4 MP)
Increase: +50% base defense for all allies, can be stacked to +100% (2 MP)
Stopspell: Silence one group (3 MP)
Defeat: Instant death against one group (4 MP)
Sacrifice: Instant death against all enemies, caster dies (1 MP)
Revive: Revive ally with full HP (15 MP)

He can opt for Evade Cloak or Magic Armor, like the Prince of Lorasia.

Comments: The damage is game worst, but Cannock's not too bad in a duel, with defense buffing, some status, and passable healing.  A poor man's version of Christo, roughly; better damage but worse everything else.  Another middle, in all likelihood.

Princess of Moonbrook
Level 22

Bolt Staff [+45 Attack, itemcast Infernos]
Fur Coat [+60 Defense]

HP: 133
MP: 126
Strength: 25
Agility: 110
Grd: 50

Attack: 70
Defense: 110 (85 without Fur Coat)

Fight: 20 damage
Healmore: 93 HP healing (5 MP)
Healall: Full healing (8 MP)
Explodet: 80 Fire-elemental damage to all enemies (8 MP)
Infernos: 26 Wind-elemental damage to one group (4 MP)
Sleep: Put one group to sleep (2 MP)
Surround: Reduce hit rate to 5/8 for one group (2 MP)
Defense: -50% base defense to one group (2 MP)
Revive: Revive ally at full HP (15 MP)
Chance: Random effect (15 MP)
   put all enemies to sleep
   confuse all enemies
   -50% base defense for all enemies
   +50% base defense for all allies
   heal 20-44 HP for all allies
   full healing for all allies
   instant death against all enemies
   remove enemies from battle (ala Black Dragon Grief)

She can also opt for the Evade Cloak as well.

Comments: Hey look, a version of Chance that might be useful in the DL!  Other than that, she's got speed, plenty of full healing, and some status.  She'd probably end up in Middle like the rest of her cast; I guess they did a good job in rebalancing the PCs for the remake.
