Only if you can't roleplay the complex circumstances surrounding his change of heart.
You can actually use whipping boy to block the trip attacks those shark things do, meaning you can get multiple blocks off of the same attack.
Does losing your turn disable whipping boy?
Just remember that when you put 100 points into a weapon skill, you can use the weapon with every class.

It's also worth pointing out that there's no such thing as a "two handed weapon" in the game, so you can use Shields with everything, even bows, claws, and fisticuffs.

Keep in mind that you don't really lose progress unless you shut off the game without saving. When you die, you just lose some money.

Ive noticed bosses dont have a set rotation and can be very nasty. That boss the first time I fought him did the same thing to me that he most likely did to you. His rotation was steal mana from my priest then either woosh or do that lightning aoe. Every single turn.
Nnnnnnnn~not exactly. The "Dragon Quest Team" has been the same 3 guys since the first Dragon Quest, it's one of the reasons why as a series it's remained high quality -- Yuuji Hori writes the story (he also wrote most of Chrono Trigger's story, but not Chrono Cross's), Akira Toriyama does all the art, and Koichi Sugiyama does all the music.
They tend to get pinch hitters to help with the programming of the main engine, however.
In the past this has been Chunsoft (First 5 Dragon Quest games, founded by an ex-Enix programmer), Heartbeat (DQ6 and 7, DQ4r-PSX, reformed as Genius Sonority, aka "the Pokemon spinoff guys"), and Level 5 (Lots!).
Amusingly, Level-5 was all set to make the 360's first MMORPG, "True Fantasy Live Online", when the DQ team approached them to replace the closing down Heartbeat to help make DQ8. Level-5 told Microsoft what the hell they could do with themselves pretty darned quickly. It's a bit like as if the guys at Popcap games were asked to help make Warcraft 4 or something out of the blue.

Maybe it's because it's one of the few stories without

Level 5 "made" the game. But Hori was decided how everything should be, like every other Dragon Quest game.
竜王 (Dragonlord)'s map is available as a 10% drop chance off グレイナル (who I'm not translating as due to it being a cameo from... DQ9). グレイナル is a boss that appears at random in Grottos over level 80, and is thus kinda, er, hard.
Dragonlord over level 16 drops the map for デスピサロ (Pizarro).
Pizarro drops the map for ミルドラース (Nimzo in the US translation, I believe).
Nimzo does not drop any maps, just items.
The link between all 3 of these bosses? They all have 2 forms.
That boss was more annoying then hard.
Highly resistant to debuffs and kept on draining MP, yet didn't do enough damage to be a major threat.

Yeah, unfortunately I read Japanese, so the DQ9 cameo was kinda spoilery.

I just defeated this boss last night, but only barely. My team consisted of a LV 17, two LV 16, and a LV 15. He stole a ton of MP from my mage, and my martial artist took a beating and I did not stay on top of healing her so she turned into a coffin rather quickly. Finally took down the boss with repeated Crackle's thanks to that coup de grace which lets me cast spells for 0 MP. Was a literal lifesaver.
But yeah, you didn't actually lose any game progression. Just half your money. So all your grinding up to the top of the tower was not in vain!

Oh, well that makes sense, then.

Are you just supposed to see how hard the enemies are and explore around?
I just got the boat, and its just like go anywhere! I don't remember anyone hinting at a fruit being in a certain spot.

But yeah, mostly just explore. That's the fun part of getting boats in Dragon Quest.

Golden rule of Dragon Quest: With enough grinding and planning, you can avoid getting wiped out even a single time. Hell, I beat both forms of Dhoulmagus in 1 try back in DQVIII.

I'm loving the character art. It's been a while since I played a game with Toriyama's art. I never gave the DBZ games a chanced (whatever fighting game that was fun. That one. Should have played it.)
Instead I'm playing DQ while watching this:
See my MONKEY!.....form.
They're actually based on your level when you complete them, so if you're having some issues with low level maps, try grinding up a bit.
There's an accolade for storing 10,000,000 in the bank. Ugh.
Oh, then that explains it... I didn't bother grinding for that much Gold, even with the easily accessed Gold Golems...
Really though, after you hit level 30, Dragon Quest VIII got really easy, especially since Monster teams and the Hero's and Jessica's spells made the fights that much easier.
EDIT: BTW, for future reference, which class in DQIX gives you "Whack" and "Thwack"?
