Kikan Yumi Ichirou vol.7, by A-Office

This is a very nice doujinshi for lovers of huge breasts. Jessica is raped by a group of men as the Godbird Staff (with Rhapthorne in) lies nearby. At the end she kills the men and thus her transformation to "Evil Jessica" is complete - this is meant to be right before you fight her at Arcadia.

It's followed by a pretty similar set of hentai scenes, this time featuring a character I'm not familiar with. She looks kind of like a Queen's Blade or Mai-Otome character, though I'm not really familiar with them too much.

There's then a really bizarre non-H story about an incredibly manly Evil Jessica (we're talking "bodybuilder in Jessica's dress" here) visiting some Marimite characters. Again, left in for the sake of completion.

Keywords: huge breasts, forced, gangbang, tit fuck

More DQIX screens - some female characters revealed

Three female characters that will be featuring in DQIX can be seen here and, below, you'll see pictures of the various classes. They are soldier, mage, priest, thief and martial artist aka fighter. It's quite exciting to finally see some actual characters rather than just generic NPCs - after all, it's the specific characters that come to mind when you think of an RPG and up until now there were no known characters in the game.

It also lets us know what sort of hentai we'll be getting when Japan starts cranking it out - this is the first thing I thought of when I saw the image on the left, perhaps not surprisingly.


The things you can change for your characters are: sex, body type, hair shape, hair color, face, skin color, eye color and name.

New DQIX screens at RPGamer

15 new screens over at RPGamer.com, though I seem to recognise quite a few of them. Maybe they're just in areas we've already seen previews of?

The main thing that strikes me about them is that the town areas look quite atmospheric - something I was really hoping for after DQVIII did such a nice job with its towns and how they looked so great at every time of day.

There's more info, translated by tummai from the Famitsu article in which the screens appeared:

1. There are towns and villages, plural

2. There are pots to smash just like DQV and later

3. You can apparently change your formation when exploring the world map. By formation, I mean change your party from walking all in a straight line to walking in a box, and possibly others. This is based on screen shots where the party is seen walking in a box formation.

4. The exclamation mark above the monster's head (on page 2) indicates that the monster has seen you. Maybe he'll run and engage you in a battle? Notice the snail whose back is turned does not have this exclamation mark.

5. Monsters will be easier to identify in the daytime.

6. Nocturnal monsters will come out at night (that you normally can't fight in the daytime).

7. One good observation that I missed before. In the screenshots for the Item Store, Church and Inn, the inn sticks out. Not only does it have 2 new options not in previous games ("View guestlist" and "Try to sell stuff"), but the innkeeper has a name above her textbox "Rikka". The church priest and the item shop merchant don't have names, so they are guessing that this inn is a special place, like Luida's Tavern or the Dharma Shrine.

Just started Dragon Quest VII & a huge wall of text about taking your time in RPGs

(If you really can't be bothered to tackle this immense wall of text, just skip to the bottom for some images of Maribel and a link to the 15 chapters of the Dragon Quest VII official manga!)

A very late night post just to say that after playing a bit more Tales of Eternia I felt in the mood to play another RPG rather than just ploughing through ToE and decided to eventually start playing Dragon Quest VII.

Just to explain that, I have a horrible tendency to just play RPGs for way too long in each session and then forget most of the plot points. It also takes things out of perspective; when I first played FFVII it took me several play sessions to get out of Midgar - I must have been playing for less than an hour each time. When I finally got onto the world map it felt like some epic acheivement since my journey through Midgar had taken almost a week in real time at one hour a day. It also fitted in with the characters' experience since the events leading up to their arrival at Kalm are obviously meant to take several days, not just six hours.

Recently I'll do things like play Persona 3 in 14 hour sessions which really takes away that slow but steady sense of discovery and progression that can really add weight and scope to an RPG's story. It's horrible to think that had I had this tendency back when I played FFVII, I would have not only got through Midgar in one go, I would also have got through Barret's hometown at least. I'd have gone from being totally new to the game and being introduced to Barret to pretty much completing his sub-plot in one go, via all the events of Midgar, Kalm, Fort Condor, Junon, Costa del Sol, Corel Town and the Gold Saucer all in one long session.

I decided to pretty much force myself to play in smaller sessions. I've sort of managed to do it with ToE so far, splitting my 12 hours of progress into 3 different sessions and one of the ways I've done it is to switch to playing another game rather than playing the same one until I can't keep my eyes open any more.

In this case I turned to DQVII and - bearing in mind that I haven't properly played V or VI yet and that I've only now played VII for a couple of hours - found it to be a really nice mix between the things I found so great about VIII with the old school things that I to IV had but VIII didn't seem to. Even slightly negative things that you still get attached to, like the bits when you think "What the fuck am I meant to do now?" and just wander around helplessly are in DQVII but didn't occur in VIII (for me, anyway). My only complaint is that it looks pretty ugly - I'd definitely say they jumped the gun when it came to making the switch to 3D (never mind moveable-camera-3D).

Anyway, now for some related goodies. First of all there's the official manga which has been translated by fans... Arbiter of Time, a member of Dragon's Den, posted a link to the official manga of the game. You can get every chapter released so far from here, direct downloads.

And here are some pics of Maribel. It seems that fan art (particularly hentai) of DQVII is pretty rare, especially compared to DQIII, IV and VIII.

Dragon Quest III (SNES) English fan translation

As some of you will know, there's a fan translation of DQIII nearing completion. Like all such fan projects there's a "ready when it's finished" attitude going on but it does sound as if it should be released near Christmas. I believe they're in the testing phases right now. There are updates posted in the DQIII (SNES) board on GameFAQs if you want to keep an eye on it yourself.

For now, here's the intro in English - with at least one grammatical error but that should be the sort of thing they're fixing up as we speak.

Zenryoku Bianca, by Machwing

Another Bianca doujinshi here. This one is more like a black and white image collection than a doujinshi. I don't think there's a single line of dialogue in it and all the artwork is full page.

It simply consists of Bianca having sex with various DQ creatures and characters, in various stage of willingness and sometimes even hypnotised/asleep. As with the disturbing fat guy from the last doujinshi, I don't know who a lot of these characters are so I'll just put descriptions in rather than the names you may well know them by.

Characters: (in order of appearance) Bianca with - hero, alone (just posing), some chancellor-looking guy, the weird fat guy from before, her son, glasses wearing guy, Marquis Regent/King Leo from DQIV, Heal Slimes, King Slime, hypnotising mages, Slime Knight and his slime, bearded devil monsters, weird sludge monster, the horse boss that's often pictures with her, decrepit mage, hovering Chinese dragon man... and that's it!

Keywords: (in order of appearance) breast squeezing, handjob, fingering, nipple tweaking, oral, pregnant, forced, lactation, sleeping, voyeur, straight shota, incest, drugged, trapped inside King Slime, hypnotised, anal, tentacle (well, "tail" to be more precise).

Artwork: Full page images, very clearly drawn with very sharp lines and no sketchiness.

Biakue, by Momoiro Rip

This shows Bianca teaching the very naive hero about sex. It moves from her being embarrassed about his ignorance (or so it seems to me) to them having anal sex against a tree, to Borongo joining into one of their sex sessions and finally to her being pregnant and having sex with him again.

There's then a pretty disturbing short story featuring the hero and some fat guy from DQV. Since I only got to the first dungeon after getting Bianca on the SNES DQV I won't know who this guy is until the DS remake comes out in February. I, er, I think I can wait. I left this story in because I know a lot of people like to actually collect doujinshi rather than just fap at the good bits. Maybe some of you also have a fat guy yaoi fetish too.

Characters: Just the DQV hero and Bianca with a cameo from Borongo... And then a brief appearance of that guy in a separate story.

Keywords: big tits, nipple sucking, lactation, pregnancy, anal, oral, beastiality, double penetration. And then yaoi, anal.

Artwork: Clear and well-drawn throughout. Can get a little cluttered with sound effects and panel layout but remains easy to follow.
