Dragon Quest VIII OST - Overture ~ Title Theme (Symphonic Version)

[SparkJavelin]

i miss this game... i wish i didn't sell it now, but i've got to look forward.

[DKen2021]

Brace yourself. I don't know when it will happen, but there is a upcoming episode of my little pony called "Dragon Quest". Be prepared for the most idiotic, thoughtless comments that will come flooding in as soon as it airs

[wolffster25]

@DKen2021 Mach 17, 2012

[DKen2021]

@wolffster25 still, be prepared though....

[LjinkBoy]

BEST RPG EVER! I've played alot of rpgs including FF and everything else. Nothing and i mean nothing matched this game's epicness. 'm not a Dragon Quest fanboy and i still believe this til this day. Sounds a bit cheesy but this game changed my life.

[SlickasEver]

AHHHHHH WHY DID I NEVER FINISH THIS GAME!!!!

[Zobachi]

@SlickasEver i feel your pain bro

[Voliko1]

A masterpiece. It's a shame that DQX will be an MMO...

[DartRyu]

If you like this music kind, you will love those whom I compose and which are available on my channel (thank you for somewhere else to subscribe you to it).

[frioniel16]

@Tanksareforcowards If you're going to bitch about this game, go tell someone who cares. And work on your trolling, son.

[MrNereid]

When we listen this song we remember all the fanastic hours of our life passed on this game, and it made me cry. ç_ç

[AlucardHellsing97]

@MrNereid I know that feel, bro. *hugs* Trust me, I spent about 2 days straight after getting near the ending just to beat it and go back through for that epic second ending. I was crying at the end of it, realizing how much the game meant to me. I was so happy to see the Hero and the Princess together. It really touches your heart.

[TheDmelis]

My save file says 500 hours played O_O

[Magus79]

@TheDmelis Oddly enough, that's how much I have listened to this song. =)

[Tanksareforcowards]

This game sucked ass. All you do is drive around in this stupid ass blimp collecting fucking pizzas and delivering them to people who look like retards. I hated every minute of this game.

[gundamfan021]

@Tanksareforcowards Then clearly you've never played it troll, go find it if you can and actually play it.

[Tanksareforcowards]

@gundamfan021 woah, calm down

[dhoulmagus11]

Cor Blimey! This game was really awesome, the first time I played it I totally messed up my stats lol. I really loved how the game provided at least 70 hours of game play. And when I thought it was all over I discovered the Dragovian Trials. I still have to beat the Ultimate Dragon xD

[Jabufy]

Best game ever.

[ux92]

Best. Game. Ever. Nothing else can be said about this game.

[CrazyCheeseMagee]

Kind of reminds me of John Phillip Sousa with a bit of Guiseppe Verdi.

[bananapoo10]

Would Japan please rise for their national anthem.

[sNiP3R0pTiX]

what's the name of the menu track?

[sNiP3R0pTiX]

kick ass. better than NieR

[Buck2]

Dragon Quest > Final Fantasy

[Segnor1]

I'm playing it right now, I'm gonna meet Angelo :D

[MrLatinoWarrior]

Any chance this game will one day be ported to the PS3?? My PS2 broke about a year ago....... I completed this game 100%, but I miss this game so much!! It;s such a classic, and a PERFECT game...... oh well gonna keep my fingers crossed....

[gaara2003]

@MrLatinoWarrior agree this game need to be on ps3 was a sweet game i miss playing it love to see how it would look if it was redo and came out on ps3 ^_^

[gamingdude65]

@gaara2003 yeah man me to! this was 1 of the best dragon quests in my opinion, and on ps2! and i really hope aswell that square enix makes a variant of this game for ps3! this gamed rocked big times! epic story, epic fights, this game has it all

[gaara2003]

@gamingdude65 hell yeah agree with you on that was the best dragon quest game would be sweet to come out on PS3 would look so much better ^_^ dont change the story or the fights just make look better to fit for ps3 :D :)

[gamingdude65]

@gaara2003 damn right it would be nice if it would come out on the PS3, graphic up to HD, maybe some trophies in it, would be nice because there are so many things to do in the game, collecting all the items, monsters, alchemy recipes and stuff. and indeed don't change the story, it was the best! like yangus said, "all the laughters thrills and tears!"

[D1rtyWhite]

can some 1 plz tell me where to obtain the following

1. runious shield

2. skull helm

3. big boss shield

4. gold nugget

all exept no.3 i have found already during a normal playthrough (i.e. in dungeons etc) but i need them again for alchelmy recipes. any help would be appreciated

[jonathanmanh]

My favorite game. Still.

[6tov]

Nostalgia X11119999000000199202932810832­10983921083298

it nearly made me cry

[BoHPriest]

@6tov The game isn't even that old...

[6tov]

@BoHPriest i dont mind if it is more new or more old, i just loved that game and i have very good memories of playing it

[skaviri]

my older brother and i became closer friends from this game. those were the days...

[TheMohawkCut]

"We're gonna win everywhere Right every single wroooo--oooo--oooong"

" I have one gear: GO "

[GhibliOriginals]

Dragon Quest 8, FF X, Okami,

My top 3 games on PS2

Twilight Princess, Baten Kaitos, Wind Waker

Top 3 on Gamecube

Japanese developpers rules !!!

[1stALPHAteam]

@GhibliOriginals wut.... No kingdom hearts? No .hack? Tsk tsk

[GhibliOriginals]

@1stALPHAteam i can't put games i haven't played in my list... : )

[orangebarracuda18]

great nostalgic feeling <3

[MrDebloke]

Oh god, it reminds me pretty good times!

[ZaBadger]

DQ uber alles

[metalpsips]

Douchebags from Sony.Realease this DIAMOND for the PSN!!!!

[DarkCavaliero]

Final Fantasy sucks compared to this masterpiece :D

[kingdomg1]

i swear, this video game is 1 thing. a masterpiece. one december day, it was my birthday, i was hoping that id finally get this game, and i did. when i started playing, my life changed. square enix has out done themselves. if someone were to make a better game than this, than that would be just pure madness. dragon quest will stay in my heart forever. this is the best game ever, and nothing can change that fact. all that cod and ff crap will never stand up to something like this! thumbs up!

[mirrorpiece]

@kingdomg1 I beat it twice in a year and yes, the game did change my life:P I still however feel bad i never beat the Dragovian Trials, maybe someday when i feel like leveling for hours and hours and hours^^

[kingdomg1]

@mirrorpiece i know how you feel dude. i didnt beat dragovian trials either D: but im gonna try until i succeed!

[MarcTijerina]

@kingdomg1 I'm happy it changed your life to, DQ8 fan for life<3

[mheetsukun]

@kingdomg1 what about chrono trigger?

[Octostrike]

@kingdomg1 This is the exact same story I had. This theme kills! FF Prologue has nothing on this!

[ShortandSmartie]

@kingdomg1 Well said my friend.

[Smooy1111]

IMO this Dragon Quest has taken over from Final Fantasy as the leading JRPG. The recent final fantasies have all been linear and easy.

[Mr2channeler]

It makes me want to go on adventures!!!

[luizbrenner1]

millions of tons of epic !!!!!!!!!

[bealtespip123]

@Iskold232 Seriously!! :D I don't like the Final Fantasy series anymore because of it's weird cyber bullshit and over complicated battle system. The Dragon Quest series are GREAT! :D

[lilfrog5]

@bealtespip123 Except Square decided to ruin it by making DQX an MMO.

[Kaisarfire]

Dragon Quest still has a lot of games. It is becoming more and more a portable ordeal. 9 was a DS release. Then you got DQ monsters, DQ Wars, DQ Joker....

[Kaisarfire]

@Iskold232 Hey, you WANT them to do Dragon Quest like they did Final Fantasy? FF ended at 10. It could have also ended at 8 and been fine, but no. Enix bought Square. It is fitting that Enix would then drive FF into the ground. Enix made great games. Squaresoft made great games. Square Enix ruins everything it touches.

[D1rtyWhite]

@Kaisarfire ending at 8 would mean no 9 which would suck but apart from that your right

[MrEpicTruth]

This song speaks to me.

It says: "Get ready for an adventure most grand!!"

Then at the soft spot: "Though there will be hard times..."

Then at the pickup: "You will succeed and vanquish evil!"

[minionsannh]

@Riodrigo23x apparently sum ppl like ff12 lawl PHAIL!

[Kaisarfire]

Nico Nico Douga showed how this theme could merge seamlessly with Final Fantasy's theme. Can't we all get along?!?

[Rodrigo23X]

THOSE 5 PEOPLES ARE FINAL FANATASY 12 FANS AND ARE JEALOUS OF THIS MASTER PEACE!

[raymondnim]

@Rodrigo23X i actually loved both Dragon Quest VIII and FF12.

[shengsta]

omg....hunting the metal slimes was epic

[mafuuba]

5 people are deaf.

[Mycupofjoe91]

this should be the national anthem.

[calvinhobbesmaniac]

@Mycupofjoe91 It's supposedly loosely based on Japanese anthems over the years, although I don't see that much similarity.

[Zzzapper1]

Dammit i was expecting the menu music to come at the end lol -___-

[LocoSyndicate974]

mette son la pou marier lé gars x) 

[heybulldog98]

arghhhhhhh! who's gon' an' written on me ed'!!!!!!! my absolute favourite yagus moment! god i love this game

[ZPokemonfanA]

@heybulldog98

My favorite Yangus line is "COR BLIMEY!" I also love the way he poses. It's so hilarious.

[nintendoin93]

@SuperMagnum83 SFC

[QuesoGr7]

AKIRA TORIYAMA FTW!

I know he didn't do the music but he's one of my favorite artists! :D

[mikidoc100]

se cercate dragon quest 8 dovete venire a napoli oppure in provincia vi do un consiglio di andare ad ercolano a piazza trieste li ci sono venditori di dischi e io qnd ho mancanza di dragon quest lo vado a prendere il gioco costa 2,50 euro oppure a volte anke 2 euro e 1,50 bhe cmq gioco fantastico l ho finito miliardi di volte ma è sempre bello xk scopro sempre segreti sul gioco e cose varie cerco di fare sempre meglio un complimento ai creatori del gioco !!! il mio preferito

[Rolvak]

I allways found funny how the main guy never talked.

[thekid20x6]

@Rolvak the main guy in all of the dragon quest games never talked, they portray the main character of the dragon quest games as a silent hero

this game just made it look weird since there was voice acting

[leon102]

@thekid20x6 I like the voice actors for Yangus and King Trode. : D

[SuperMagnum83]

my fav rpg's

1. Skies of arcadia

2. Final fantasy 10

3. Dragon quest 8

4. Tales of symphonia

5. Dark chronicle

6. Final fantasy 12

7. Grandia 2

8.Tales of vesperia

9. Rogue galaxy

[MrSoloFLo]

@SuperMagnum83 sounds nice but i only played ffx dq8 and ff12 in that list and they were all fucking amazing so u must have good taste

[SuperMagnum83]

@MrSoloFLo the ps2 generation had some great rpg's that havn't been matched since

[MrSoloFLo]

@SuperMagnum83 yea... ff13 was a big dissapointment. eversince squaresoft teamed up with enix

[RainBowGlyphics360]

Alright guff

[RainBowGlyphics360]

This song is to short :(

[nintendoplayersmash]

I have this game still haha its why I dont sell my stuff ;)

[RainBowGlyphics360]

@nintendoplayersmash yer m8 i know what u mean this game is mint, i mean i may only be 16 but in my opinion its still my favorite.

[nintendoplayersmash]

@RainBowGlyphics360 Agreed top notch rpg out there :)

[Darkfirelord93]

@RainBowGlyphics360 For the love of god don't drop school.

[ledzkreep]

I swear, when I'm finally able to find a job, I am buying a PS2 and this game. I miss it too much and sadly, I don't see this ever hitting the PSN store, which is a crying shame.

[RainBowGlyphics360]

@ledzkreep try ebay :)

[RPGameStation]

Good times... ='(

[heavyq]

DWIV on the NES will always be my favorite game ever, but VIII is my favorite PS2 game and my second favorite DQ game. It's just so damn good. I know what I'm doing this Holiday weekend.

[Aaron1046]

sux my PS2 is dead or id play this game over and over ;P

My next pc Im going to get will be able to play this, this 1 cant handle it :(

[Crowster12781]

I still own a ps2 just because of this game...best RPG ever! Well, that and DQ IV.

[WingDrow]

i had a fangasm from 0:00 to 1:59

[art88tum]

This opening is just epic! ^^

[RavenTheObsidian]

Best. Theme song. EVER.

[escobabarata]

@RavenTheObsidian best game ever

[Bustersword6piece]

4 people thought that they seen Goku

[darkregin2]

is it wrong of me to hate dragon quest? or is dragon quest 9 a bad game to start out with...

[Dragus195]

@darkregin2 Dragon Quest 9 isn't the best, although ive only played 8+9, 8 was fantastic, by far my favourite game ever.

[Nadodan]

@darkregin2 Not unless you hated 1-8 first don't jude the whole series based on one installment

[JoshKayle]

@darkregin2 Dragon Quest 9 is a terrible game to start out with. Play this and your mind = blown.

[KissAnonymous]

Ya no hacen juegos así

[Pri0D]

Magnifique tout simplement!

[KLG701]

could be a anthem of a country...very simple, catchy and epic :D

[dragoniguana]

Dammit, I still have to finish 6 and 9 before I can play 4, 5, 7, or 8! ARGH, I STARTED PLAYING THESE GAMES WAY TOO LATE!!!

[DBZOreimo]

@dragoniguana Each game has its own Main story mode. So you don't have to play the previous DQ games to enjoy DQ 8.

[dragoniguana]

@DBZOreimo Yeah, I know. I just kind of feel the need to do this.

[Sabin06]

this would be awesome for the annoucement for a newly wed couple.

[iamnotaplatypus]

This is the London Philharmonic isn't it?. They must have said 'screw the budget' with this game. Amazingly high production values. Beautiful soundtrack, great voices, design, everything. I can't wait for the series to return to a proper console.

[goldraine]

@iamnotaplatypus Actually, Tokyo Metropolitan. The London Philharmonic did the previous Symphonic Suites, and they had a microphone for each instrument... in my opinion, this sounds a little muddy, but overall its a fantastic piece.

[meppers12100]

@xXKwikKillerXx 4 words: MOST EPIC GAME EVER

[Mdude123456789]

@meppers12100 omg YES! THIS GAME IS SO COOL I LOOOVE DRAGON QUEST 9 I'VE BEATEN THE FIRST 5 BOSSES IN THE FIRST 3 DAYS I GOT THE GAME IM NOW ADDICTED TO IT YEEEESSS :D

[LinkedSnake]

Thumbs up if you think that PeyserConley is surely the worthiest successor of Silvagunner!

[ThePOKOkitty]

4 former squaresoft employees saw this video.

[listentocky17]

i feel like i am sucking on giant majestic titties riding a magical dragon unicorn hybrid through space and time with a rainbow shooting out its ass then landing on mount olympas while the gods bow to you.

[Zzzapper1]

When i looked at this game on the shelf.... i thought: Whoa that looks like a good game!!

When i turned it on and heard this music... I thought: This game is gonna be amazing!!

Whein i found out the artwork was done by Akira Toriyama... I thought: THIS IS DEFINTELY GONNA A AMAZING GAME WITH KICKASS ARTWORK!

[Thunder98980]

@Zzzapper1

YEAH! :D

[MrWhoopsiedaisy]

Any time I hear "dragon", I instantly start whistling this.

Damn you, 100+ hours in DQ9.

[meppers12100]

@MrWhoopsiedaisy that isnt that long.. my counters on 400 *.*

[zeldamasterX]

I only discovered DQ with DQIX on DS. This made me realise of bad were all these random J-rpg, DQ FTW ! (and Toryama's design will alway be great !)

[mirrorpiece]

The cool thing about dragon quest is that the male characters look manly and the female characters look like woman. Unlike most RPGs, where everybody looks like girls.

[AnryaDeFreak]

@mirrorpiece

Yeah,look at cecil from final fantasy 4

I first though he is a woman....*drop*

[TheToxichalo]

thumbs up if you like dragon quest 8 best dragon quest game ever

[azzaroify]

this is a genius game! gosh and I'm not finished yet with this game it's so long !

[truemobile]

@OfficerBlowFish

Preist: Do you take *name* To be your wife

You: Hmm hmm lalala. Oh sorry what?

[Sergioboyyy]

@truemobile LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[OfficerBlowFish]

I want this song to be playing when i get married.

[AnryaDeFreak]

@OfficerBlowFish me too

[Poxell91]

@OfficerBlowFish Worthiest cause if ever there was one. :)

[shadowvowed187]

@OfficerBlowFish  FUCK YEAH

[thatgreekguy01]

Isn't this music the very definition of an epic game? I would say "HELL YES!"

This game made me stop playing Final Fantasy and start with Dragon Quest

[ekimthegib]

I think I need a cigarette and a new pair of pants.

[andreajacquard]

cool c'est la bonne

[truemobile]

I need to know where you found this.

lol

[SargentToughie]

oh god... this music really, REALLY brings back some memories.

if DQ VIII comes out for PSN's virtual console, it's over... I'd have to buy new pants.

[vanshma]

@SargentToughie Did you just say PSN has a VIRTUAL CONSOLE? That is the wii. PS3 has PS1 classics, I doubt Playstation will even allow PS2 games on PSN.

[SargentToughie]

@vanshma Okay, fine... the PS3's equivalent to the wii's virtual console. And they announced at E3 that they're going to start releasing PS2 games for download... this game better be among them.

[vanshma]

@SargentToughie Tell me where you saw that please. I saw the Sony E3 Conference and saw nothing about that though I was anticipating it

[SargentToughie]

@vanshma I know for a fact that I heard it somewhere... I actually just used the E3 statement for an easy-out.

But I'm quite sure that I heard it somewhere...

[acrobatsutr]

ドラゴン クエスト... 永永!

[truemobile]

Worst thing that ever happened to me was forgetting dragon quest, then one day I heard the themesong at gamestop and I though "HOLY S*** THIS IS DRAGON QUEST!!!"

[sabombardonist]

I never get tired of this song. Never.

[darqetsu]

Yangus is my nigga. He goes hard.

[KakanSetra]

Ahh Dragon quest. Final Fantasy may let me down, but never you my old friend.

[Jimkaider]

Yangus is my homeboy.

[themanofpower125]

love it, sounds like a Clearer version of Dragon Quest 5 intro too 

[themanofpower125]

Best bgm song in the world.....dont deny it people....haha

Dragon quest will never die!

[13rokenknightascar]

Whoops I hit the flag button by accident, sorry. I'm using my iPod touch right now.

0:22 And here's where the football march theme starts.

[KingDededeBrawlKing]

I feel so bad because I press start so fast and skip the best part of the damn song.

[TSOAFrules13]

koichi sugiyama is pure genius. best composer of all time.

[TheUnknownKH]

This song is EPIC.

[ImperviousMason]

The music was performed by the tokyo metro symphony, it said so on the box o.O

[VysetheBattleMaster]

Loved this game to freaking death. Just beat the last set of Dragovian trials last night and I must say the stuff you get from that looks truly badass. Awesome, awesome game.

[djfakt]

DQ wouldn't be EVEN CLOSE to the series it is without Mr. Sugiyama's music. When he's gone (he's UP there in years) I fear what will happen to the DQ games...

[seegerts15]

lmao, imagine playing this music after your first shit!!!

[XenonVincent7]

Hmmm...what do you guys think if Koichi Sugiyama were to compose a soundtrack for a future Final Fantasy game? I'd think it would would be pretty cool.

[warnexus]

my first dq is 8. loved it! beat the final boss and still have trials to do!

[leon102]

Dragon Quest is my favorite RPG series.

[jcudal32]

lol what about the shopping menu song?

[Program61Lamza]

Stayed true to the FF series than most FF today.

[Hackzilla4739]

contributed 400 hours of gameplay for this game. Best DQ ever and for me better that the FFs(I prefer FF over DQ almost always but this is an exception).

[postmasterw00t]

@Hackzilla4739

i agree dq8 is one of the best games of all time

a truely wonderful game

[djfakt]

@postmasterw00t GRRREAT spelling and punctuation! Pure MASTERY over the English language! Oh, ESL? My bad...

[postmasterw00t]

@djfakt

i dont get it

[Animefan8451]

Great game great soundtrack best DQ game EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
