Nimzo

GastonRabbit — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 02:38:21 GMT

GastonRabbit: /* Dragon Quest IX */

'''Nimzo''' ('''Mirudraas''' in old translations; '''Mildrath''' in fan translations) is the source of conflict and final boss of [[Dragon Quest V]]. As is the case with most of the series' villains, Nimzo is mostly referred to and not actually encountered until the end of the game, though his pawns and powerful influence do well to wreak havoc in his place.

==Characteristics==
Nimzo initially appears to be an elderly, green-skinned demon, though this is merely a ruse to hide his true, grotesque form: a bloated, red demon with massive, wrinkled wings, four arms, and a spike-ended tail. He is capable of performing devastating spells and breath attacks in either form and can also call upon Wrecktors and Killing Machines to assist him while in his initial form.

Nimzo's speech in the English DS remake is composed of a font that replaces the English letters used in the rest of the game with Cyrillic letters that resemble them, such as replacing N with И. The overall effect makes Nimzo sound incredibly distinct and alien when compared to other characters and even the narration, hinting towards his position as an ancient and powerful entity.

==Name==
The title Nimzo goes by, Grandmaster Nimzo, is a stark contrast to the original interpretations of his name. The name was likely derived from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Nimzowitsch Aron '''Nimzo'''witsch], a renowned chess writer and (unofficial) grandmaster by chess standards. The majority of Nimzo's underlings are named after chess pieces, and Nimzo himself refers to his overall plan as a game with his underlings being the pawns, so the name was likely given to tie in with these characteristics.

With this in mind, it is highly likely that the localization team had already planned out the majority of what they intended to do with Dragon Quest V, since Nimzo appears with his current name in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker, a game that preceded the release of the DS remake of Dragon Quest V.

==Appearances==
Outside his role in Dragon Quest V, Nimzo has also appeared in...

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]===
First official appearance in the states. Called Mirudraas at the time.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters 2]]===

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker]]===
Appears as an S-rank member of the Beast family and has his current name; he appears as his monstrous, true form. One combination for obtaining one is by synthesizing a Drakulard with a Malroth.

===[[Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2]]===

===[[Dragon Quest IX]]===
Nimzo appears as a Legacy Boss. His speech is written normally in this game, presumably because the Cyrillic alphabet is absent from this game's character set.

Game description: Likes to kick in with Kaboom after taking the edge off his enemies by casting Bounce and Kasap.

Guide description: Some thought he could only command from afar, but he has more than enough mental and physical ability to rule the world.

Ra's Mirror

GastonRabbit — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 14:45:56 GMT

GastonRabbit: /* Dragon Quest IV */

The ''Lar Mirror'' (Mirror of Ra) is a recurring item in the Dragon Quest series. It is typically used to reveal a character's true form.

=== Dragon Quest II ===
In [[Dragon Quest II]], the mirror is hidden in a swamp west of [[Moonbrooke]]. Its location is hinted by the ghost of the king of Moonbrooke. It can be found by searching the swamp tile where 4 bridges are visible on the screen. It is one of only 3 items to be found by searching on the world map ([[Leaf of the World Tree]], [[Sunken Treasure]]).

The mirror is used to reveal the true form of the [[Princess of Moonbrooke]]. At the beginning of the game, she is transformed into a dog by a curse from [[Hargon]]. Using the mirror in front of the dog in [[Hamlin]] breaks the curse on her and she then joins the party.

=== Dragon Quest III ===
In [[Dragon Quest III]], the mirror can found in the [[Cave South of Samanao]]. Using the mirror at night on the sleeping king of Samanao reveals him to be a [[Boss Troll]]. By defeating him, the hero's party receives the [[Change Staff]].

=== Dragon Quest IV ===
In [[Dragon Quest IV]], the mirror is simply randomly dropped by monsters and has no relevance to the plot as with the previous two games. Indeed, players can finish the game without ever obtaining it, let alone using it. In this game can be used to return [[Float-o-copier]]s to their true forms after they mimic a party member, though this is not required to defeat them.

=== Dragon Quest V ===
The mirror is found in Abotivall tower to the south of the aboreas teleportal, which is itself south of Heaven's Above Abbey. The mirror is used to reveal the true form of the [[Faux Dowager]].

=== Dragon Quest VI ===

=== Dragon Quest VII ===
The Lar Mirror can be found in the Dark Palace near the end of the game. It is used in battle to change back creatures who use transform to turn into party members.

As far as I can rememer, they are useful only when fighting [[float-o-copier]]. You can transform them back into their original form using the mirror. Those enemies only appear near the end of the game though. I can'r recall any other usage in IV. --[[User:Pagoda|Pagoda]] 00:58, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

'''Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker''' is the first game in the Dragon Quest Monsters series to be in 3D. It uses the [[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]] game engine out of battle, uses cel-shaded animation, and the battles are of the same type: commands are issued in a turn based style, then are executed in full 3D.

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 5 AI settings. The main character does not directly participate in battles except for when the player uses items.

Joker does not have random battles. The only way to encounter enemies is to run into one on the overworld. The monsters can be seen, avoided, and attacked from their back to get a free attack round. Later on, the player gets the Whistle ability. This can be used at any time, other than in the city and where monsters don't appear, and in a way does count as a random battle as the enemies are randomly chosen.

The game takes place in the region known as Green Bays, consisting of seven islands. A jet-ski is used to travel from one island to another, with specific paths defined for every couple of piers. However, the main character may notice uncharted islands beyond some of the main islands. The chances for this are completely random and are not located on the main map

==Wi-Fi==
The game also has a Nintendo Wi-Fi element. The player connects to the server, and their monster team is ranked. The DS then downloads a set of opponents to battle. The battles are against the monster teams of higher and higher ranked other players. For each battle you win, you get a reward, either an item or a monster. These rewards change daily and can range from unexciting items to rare monsters such as liquid metal slimes. This feature is designed to be used once per day. The player can only fight one set of opponents, and get a reward once each day.

==Monsters==
The player gets more monsters by scouting them. Unlike previous games in the series, this is a battle command, and not the result of using items in battle. You can make as many scouting attempts as you want during a battle, until the monster decides to join, or takes offense. Success depends on the relative strengths of the monsters making the attempt versus the relative defense of the monster that is being scouted.

The monster families have been rearranged into a different categorization, so some monsters are in different families than they were on previous Dragon Quest Monsters games:

*Slime (スライム, suraimu).
*Dragon (ドラゴン, doragon).
*Nature (しぜん, shizen).
*Beast (まじゅう, majuu).
*Material (ぶっしつ, busshitsu).
*Demon (あくま, akuma).
*Undead (ゾンビ, zonbi).
*Incarni (しんじゅう, Shinjuu).

Unlike previous games in the series, there is not a Boss family. The Boss monsters (end game, or powerful bosses from Dragon Quest games) have been merged with the other families. For example, Zoma is now in the Demon family.

Monsters now all have a rank associated with them: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, and X. The ranks give an idea of how quickly the monster's stats will grow, and how hard they are to get/synthesize. There are 210 different monsters, though some are just color swaps of others, with different stats.

There are three monsters, Trode (トロデ, Torode), Leopold (レオパルド, Reoparudo), and Empyrea (レティス, Retisu) that can not be scouted or bred in the normal game. The only way to get these monsters is to visit a DS Station in Japan or to cheat.[6] There, one can use the games' Wireless mode to fight against these monsters and attempt to scout them. Leopard and Empyrea are required in order to synthesize the main monster into its final forms. An alternate means is to obtain all other monsters and all of the possible skills.
