Should you weren’t paying consideration, Nintendo shut down the web providers for 3DS and Wii U, as a result of the longer term is ahead, child. Sadly, which means avid gamers with rules needed to step in to protect what Nintendo was burying with its digital retailer closures, and a type of issues was the Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Previous DLC maps.

Twitter consumer Sackchief had a plan to protect these 56 DLC maps for anybody who needs to expertise them after the shutdown in one of the simplest ways potential, too. There gave the impression to be no takers on the endeavour till Gronya, caught in mattress and recovering from bowel ulcers, determined to tackle the tough process of grinding for the cleanest save file.

Gronya lays out your complete agonizing course of in the embedded video. It entails protecting the 2 foremost protagonists useless whereas non permanent get together member Kiefer grinds his approach to invulnerability to get to the purpose the place the DLC Tablets may very well be obtained.

I’m going to be actual with you: I don’t know sufficient about Dragon Quest VII and its DLC to know why this was needed. I didn’t get into the collection till about 2014 or 2015 after I was unhappy and lonely and my solely escape was sprawling myself throughout the sofa watching GameCenter CX and taking part in Japanese video games.

It appears as if this was performed not as a result of it was the solely approach to protect the content material however the finest method. Gronya even says that this might have been performed in 10 hours with out Tremendous-Kiefer. Clearly, this was performed for a cause, in any other case Gronya (and one other consumer named DaniPhoFani) wouldn’t have gone to such lengths.

Nonetheless, I like the trouble. It in all probability would have been higher if Nintendo had simply saved the infrastructure or designed it with extra perpetuity in thoughts. Possibly Sq. Enix will at some point port Dragon Quest VII once more with the DLC both intact or simply recreated. We are able to’t depend on that. So, for now, we’ve got the hard-fought save file accessible on the Web Archive.
