Desde que ví este fanart, no he dejado de pensar en como me encantaría una especie de reboot animado de Hibiki rediseñado con este estilo y animado por el estudio Kamikaze Douga (quienes animaron los primeros opening de Jojo's y las películas de Batman Ninja), se que no son los mejores antecedentes, pero creo que son un estudio con una de las más interesantes propuestas visuales, sin mencionar que creo que Hibiki es una serie igualmente peculiar que se prestaría para algo así (la amo tanto, ojalá fuese buena).

¿Qué deseo extraño tienes con la franquicia?

A huge thank you to Ceris White, Gerb, Ilario, Reflex, and many others for making and releasing the English translation patch for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 Professional for the NDS.

Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2 was already released in English officially, but we never got the enhanced version (Joker 2 Professional), which adds more than a hundred monsters, new locations, extends the story beyond the normal ending, adds a lot of quality of life enhancements, and much more.

~ Description ~

Joker 2's gameplay follows closely to its predecessor. Players explore areas and tame wild monsters into their party. Monsters fight in turn-based combat and grow stronger. The battle system itself is very similar to previous Dragon Quest Monsters games. The player controls up to three monsters that make up the party, and can issue them direct orders or set them to one of 4 AI settings. This game features two new monster sizes: large monsters, which use up two spaces on one of the player's two benches, and gargantuan monsters, who take up an entire bench on their own. The main character, who is henceforth referred to as the Hero, does not directly participate in battles except for when the player uses items. He can, however, use any item in his possession and not just the ones 'in hand'. 311 monsters from the Dragon Quest games appear in Joker 2, with a few new species, many from the original Dragon Warrior Monsters games This is the second game in the series to feature Wi-Fi support, after the first Joker game, and the first to support direct battling between players.

Square Enix released Joker 2 Professional, an expanded version of the game, on March 31, 2011. Professional features over 100 new monsters, as well as new regions and abilities, but the same story. Players are able to import their old monsters from the original game.

Finally as always please drop a thank you to people who worked on this patch, it takes years of hard work doing hacking, programming, translating, editing, and testing to bring these patches to the JRPG community, and all of it is done for free, so if you're going to use it or hell even if you won't, it always nice to show that we appreciate the great work these translators are doing.

I'm not sure whether to post this in this sub. Honestly, I don't know if I've changed enough or if it would actually count as a 'glow-up'. When I was a child, my parents always told me I was overweight; for most of my childhood, I hated looking at myself and thinking I was an obese child. When I finished secondary school, I lost weight without really doing anything, but even so, I didn't like the way I looked. Nowadays, when I look at my photos from that time, I struggle to recognise myself; I don't feel like that skinny version of me, and I always felt ugly. I've put on a bit of weight now, and on that particular day my hair looked great (I love having long hair). So yes, I do think I've improved a bit.

I don’t know if I’ve changed that much, but sometimes, seeing how thin I was before the pandemic makes me realise that I don’t recognise myself in that image – I even found it hard to look at myself in the mirror. These days, I might be a bit overweight (I’ve got a dad’s tummy without actually being a dad), but I no longer feel so out of shape.
