Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past

I've reached the island with the war between Rucker and Providence. The Hero is still a Gladiator, and Ruff has mastered Monster Master and Warrior. I want him to master Mage as well so I can make him an Armamentalist class (so I have all base classes and intermediate classes mastered by at least one of my current party members), but since Maribel still hasn't mastered that class. I don't care much for two characters having the same vocation at the same time, I decided to use one of my Monster Hearts on him to change him to the Drake slime class. By the way, in a major improvement over Dragon Warrior VII, monster vocations no longer have prerequisites. He doesn't seem to have made much progress since his experience levels may be a bit high, but I'm still getting class experience for Sir Mervyn, who is now a Luminary, after which I'll make him a Priest to set him en route towards the Sage class before I ultimately unlock the Druid class (which I'm doing for Maribel as well).

Grandia HD Remaster

I'm hoofing it through the Luzet Mountains, and now have the fourth and final permanent party member, who already comes with all elements. Maybe I should have waited to conquer the extra dungeons after I got her so maybe she would have been more on par with the rest of my characters. On another note, the dialogue has a chronic habit of overemphasizing certain words (in some cases dozens of times within the same sentences, like in this screen, which makes an already lousy translation even worse:

Pretty much 99% of the dialogue would have sounded way better with no emphasis at all. I wish they had retranslated the game (and rerecorded the horrible English voice acting, but thank Heaven for the Japanese voices) since it was a remaster, but it was sadly a wasted opportunity.
