Let loose

Not to be confused with the all-or-nothing skill known as Frenzy

Let Loose is a vocational command in Dragon Quest VII Reimagined, which grants a powerful passive skill to the character who triggers it. Sometimes this mechanic is also known as getting worked up, because characters need to get into that state to be able to let loose.

Originally introduced as the "frenzied state" in The Dark Prince, it allows monsters to temporarily gain incredible power in that title.

Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

Making it's debut in the main series, the Let Loose comand allows characters who are worked up enough to unleash powerful skills.

When a party member is attacked by monsters, they have a chance of getting worked up. When they are worked up, they are surrounded by a blue aura and the Let Loose command appears on the top of the command list. This worked up state difers from the Pep power-up in that the affected character does not gain any stat boost by simply getting worked up.

If a character is moonlighting, they can choose between two let loose skills.

It's worth noting that some monsters and bosses can also get worked up and let loose.

Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince

Frenzied states are powerful explosions of anger that a monster can undergo upon seeing it's allies suffer, gaining incredible power for a brief period.

Frenzied states replace the long-standing tension system to add dramatic flair to battles, much in the same way that pep replaced tension in the mainline games. A monster has a negligibly small chance to become frenzied every turn, but this rate skyrockets once one of it's allies is severely low on HP or defeated. Once enraged, the monster will gain an extra action per turn, all damage types will increase in power by 150%, and all damage received will be cut in half for a limited number of turns. Be warned, as enemy monsters and even bosses can flip their lids when on the ropes. Template:DQMTDP
