  • ive never been able to get into final fantasy i just prefer dq everything, the music, the graphics (although not as good, they completely suite my style) everythingg! if anyone know how to get orchestral music sheets please replyy!

  • i remember when i walked through here. For the longest time, i didn't fight any monsters at all, so i managed to get a good look around at the place...

    Needless to say, with this music, i felt my heart aching.

  • Bellísimo...

  • So nostalgic, I wish my memory was erased of this game so I could experience it from scratch just as i did 6 years ago.

  • This is my favourite game and I'm sad because i know that I will never get theses feelings I had anymore... :'(

    Now the "new" games have not that "thing" who makes you in total harmony with the game and makes you living the adventure of your life x)

    Well, I played to this when I was only 13 but .. I Still hope they will make a Dragon quest X ? or XI ? x)

    (sorry for my bad english)

  • -sees that one thumb down- must be dhoulmagus =.=

  • best moment in the game :o)

  • If Chuck Norris was let loose in a recording studio full of musical instruments it would probably sound a lot like this.

  • Was totally heartbroken returning to Trodain and hearing this music... The piece is pretty decent on its own but you really need the context to get its full effect I think :)

  • DQ VIII best game ever.

  • Thumbs up for DragonQuest VIII! Best storyline, best commentary, best gameplay. (:

  • Thumbs up if you still love this in 2012! :)

  • @1stpltpkmnTR Still the best game I've ever played. Doubt it'll be topped with games these days.

  • This is possibly the best song in the game in my opinion, especially combined with the environment you're in when it's playing it really drives the emotions to heart: a place that was once filled with life and beauty has been perverted and twisted by selfish motivations. The walls are cracked, the hallways are darkened, vines are everywhere, and the people are misshapen into thorns with still faces that cry in terror. You feel helpless, and dismayed, like there isn't a damned thing you can do.

  • @LeoMidori And then you run into a metabble and freak out trying to kill it, because damn all metal slimes! YOUR DELICIOUS XP WILL BE MINE!

  • @Chronische Damn you! Stop running away if you wanted to fight with me! DAMN YOU!!! D8<

  • @LeoMidori

    Well said, i felt the same way, i think everyone did that played this game and got to this part. Thumbs up for you man.

  • best damn song on the score. this song is the reason i still crack out dq8 every once in ahwile.

  • This is music. I love you all.

  • this is music is so .... BEAUTIFULL

  • RIP INTERNET

  • Just.... Beautiful....:')

  • I thought I'd never beat the Dragovian Trials. Good times, especially when playing this the second time. Played this in 2005 and just last year!

  • What happened to all the good JRPG's? Listening to this reminds how much gaming has changed.

  • thumbs up if people here the the occupy movment FOREVER AGAINST COPERATIOIN RULE!!

  • Hi everyone, I love the music, but can I upload any of the songs/melodys from Itunes? Please if you will, send out a requst to add these beautiful songs on Itunes, if you work for apple, or whatever. Please..

  • my ps2 broke :( and now i cant play dis very awesommmeeeee game any more :'(

    

  • @MidxNightxFilmz I wasn't knowing how my ps2 is important for me, it's just when he's gone I know his real valor... And i know what do you feel...these feeling T____T

  • @TheRPG02 it suks my ps2 broke lol and im a girl and i love this game! XD

  • so a very great song (Classic music)

  • so a very great song

  • 0 thumbs down ^^

  • @JanTTer123 Good!

  • The symphonic version...nice!

  • Dragon quest 8.... This music remembers this game xD

  • Oh, this song makes me cry. It's very sad but also beautiful.

  • I Love this song it makes me think of My grandma she died on july 18 at age 80 and now I miss her so much :(

  • 4:08-4:50 always put me to tears! :(

  • I hate thumbs up comments.

  • @IceBerg91259 the troll is strong in you.

  • @IceBerg91259 oh the irony

  • @IceBerg91259 your comemnt has a thumbs up so you should hate yours too! :)

  • Take Me To The World Of DQ!!! I'm Sick Of How We're Meant To Live In This World.((get paid good but still shitty)

  • i love the build up at 2:33 - 2:45 it's actually too much for me!! i remember playing this at a particularly hard time in my life just about to get the ancient ship!! so epic. im not sure if it's just me but i havn't really enjoyed many games released after say 2003-4 maybe but this (and a few others) are just classic. Imagine this game on next gen just more enemies, items, weapons, bigger world to explore. it would be awesome

  • @D1rtyWhite i love that idea. This game was there for me in 06' in a tuff time too. Still, in 11' I'm listening to it.

  • @D1rtyWhite DQX man thats all im gonna say hehehehe.

  • @HmousikiTouNikou just checked out the trailer looks cool i didnt know it had been schedueled for release!!!! might have to pick up a wii finally for dqx and xenosaga!!!!!

  • When you listen to a piece of music like this and think "Wow, I want to play this game again." it's a sure sign that what was created was a potential classic. I love this theme, I loved this game and I pray that somebody will realise that this is worth putting on the Classics HD list.

    I loved just standing around at Castle Trodain during sunset, watching the red sky mingle with the purple mist and feel the emotion pouring from this track.

  • amazing game probably the best i have ever played not to mention the soundtrack is good too

  • i think dq8 may just be my all time fave rpg

  • i remember when i got to this part, i wanted to cry. this song always weakens me. i used to always play it when i was depressed. days i dont miss......

  • sacha

    

  • if you think about it, the story isn't very creative. But even then, they MADE it creative. Just think about it: The land, you just want to keep walkin over. The skies, you want to watch. The fun interactions, especially if Trode and Yangus were involved. The Church way of saving your game. The music... This game is enchanting.

  • thumbs up if you think they should make another dragon quest like that!

  • :(

  • thumbs up if people are still listening to this in 2011! :D

  • @HardcoreHamster33 lol purchased this game years ago with over 70 hours of gameplay...and STILL trying to finish it! xD

  • @Yakita60 OMG! o.O Seriously? D: That really sucks!! xD I'm still playing, only got it a year ago lol. x3 This game is quite hard though...i've gotta fight sir leopold, im stuck on that atm, coz im only lvl 38! xD What part you on? :3 You've played 70 hours, cant remember which part thats at. :o I've played something like 118 hours or something like that! Thats what it said on the title screen! Lmao! XD

  • @HardcoreHamster33 oh i purchased this around the time it came out, around 2004-2005. it's probably because i keep taking "breaks" with this game(like a MONTH BREAK)...& then start over because I don't remember where I am in the story. -___-

    my furthest lv is 35 & i believe i took my "break" right after the pirate's den. Except this break was YEARS instead of months. So AGAIN I'm starting over. -___-

    Currently lv 15 & back in Ascantha, but it's ok cuz it's my favorite part of the game...so far

  • @Yakita60 Have i spoiled it? D: I hope that isnt spoiling it for you! I didnt know sorry! T_T haha, yeah you need breaks in this game lol, i take months breaks too! xD Aww, but why'd ya start all over when ya got so far? Even if ya didnt know where ur at, you could ask party memebers, they'd say! :D haha, ascantha's one of the my fav parts, its really sad but a nice story to it, but the quest where ya had to climb, i found a little annoying, though i like ishmari! xD Good luck witht he game! :)

  • @HardcoreHamster33 lol don't worry about it, it's not a spoiler at all. :) and it's nice to know that i'm not alone in my month breaks. xD

    Yeah I guess you're right. Perhaps I'll go back to my old save and continue! Thanks for the encouragement! Good luck to you too! Awesome game is awesome! :D

  • @Yakita60 You 2 are totally not alone, my break with this game was 1 year and now im finally going through with it ;p

  • @Liezzzjehvj haha looks like this game is infamous for having players take looong breaks! xD

  • @Yakita60 haha thats good! xD Yeah, ya gotta have breask, coz this game is frustrating, i s'pose like every game has their pain in the neck moments. But its an awesome game no matter what! :DD

    Yay! :D You didnt delete your save files did ya? o.O Coz lvl 35 is a good lvl, pirates cove was easy, and some of the bettles after that are easy too, apart from gemon, he's annoying! xD Your welcome, i like helpin others out! :3 Thanks, i need luck, gotta fight rhapthorne now! -_- Hell yeah DQVIII ftw!

  • @HardcoreHamster33 haha i don't mind the typo! xD

    And nope, I didn't delete my save. :3 I was VERY cautious of THAT! O__O

    Yeah, I agree with the Pirate's Den. It WAS easy! Maybe all that time burnt leveling up really DOES pay off! :D

    And ZOMG!! RHAPTHORNE!! I hear THAT'S THE BIGGIE! @__@ (haha I must be old to have said that...or a dork. excuse the phase! xB) Good luck to ya again! :D

  • @Yakita60 Hah, glad to hear! xD Its hard getting them to a certain lvl though o.O I might lvl mine to 41 coz atm the hero's like only lvl 39 and i havent gone to the black citadel yet, rhapthorne has a little form, which is the first boss then later on in that place you have to fight his blobby satan form! -_- Naaa you aint! I say things like that! I called rhapthorne purple lemon lamp! xD Dont worry! xD And thanks, that means alot! :3 When i've lvled some more, imma storm that castle! :D

  • @Yakita60 *breaks

    lol made a typo! ;-;

  • @HardcoreHamster33 I'm playing the game in 2011

  • @HardcoreHamster33 I actually looked for my PS2 and repaired it (without a clue of what I was doing) so I could play this game, Sly 3, and Final Fantasy X. To my disappointment, I lost/sold all of them. I still have my save though! Where I'm fighting the final Dragon Boss. Crazy nostalgia, I love it. The music in this game is beautiful, probably the best out of most games I've played.

  • @Elunev ooh, thats good but sorry to hear bout your games! :( Thats soo typical! >.< Ooh, im on the rhapthorne part still! xD Yeah the music is really really epic! I got dragon quest Viii syphonic suite 2 cds for that, and IX! Im getting VI aswell! ^_^ Koichi sugiyama is bloody legendary! :D The hole dragon quest series has been great! Same for the music part! ^_^ Yeah, dragon quest viii is really well made! :)

  • @HardcoreHamster33 Can't say I'm an avid DQ fan as I've only played 8, Rocket Slime and DQM: Joker. Needless to say, they've all provided me with hours of fun, and I don't regret buying them at all. Square Enix is definitely the only company I've seen that can capture every element of an RPG and include it all in one exceptionally original game. I'm going to see if I can't play this on my PC, because I miss this game so much. :3

  • @Elunev Haha, Some good games you've played! Square enix is like one of the best companies, they really know what they're doing, how can anyone hate their games? x3 Aww good luck to you, hope it works on your PC. :3

  • @HardcoreHamster33 We listen to that because it's our method to cry, there will be no good rpg game, it's like the existing of video games will stop soon.I just wan't to get 6 years back to play the good acient games, my ps2 have broke this summer and I never stoped crying cuz i was playing this game, again and again, and i was happy.I was guessing there will be really good game in ps 3 at year 2005, better than this one But I was wrong.(sorry for my english, i'm french.)

  • @TheRPG02 All this is ver true and im sorry about your ps2 :O I give free hugs if you need a hug! :) haha there are no better games than Dragon Quest VIII! xD Its ok, your english is very good! :)

  • @HardcoreHamster33 Games like this bring so much love with their sad songs! But hands down, Aeris' theme literally made children cry with compassionate power!

    JRPG LOVE!

  • @enlighteneveryone I agree! :)

    <3

  • @HardcoreHamster33 In a few days I'd be listening it in 2012!

  • @enlighteneveryone OMG thats true! XD

  • @HardcoreHamster33 Nope, listening to it in 2012 :P

  • @okamiyazaki haah thats true! XD happy new year!! :)

  • I would actually have this song played at my funeral, i really need to get my hands on koichi's songs! I will search EVERYWHERE! xD It's a beautiful song and would fit for a funreal because its sad, yet theres hope...

  • Love this game and the music.....

  • This song makes me think of getting lost and lost over and over in trodain Castle checking the spicked people to see if there were signs of hope. But there never was, until I saved them all.

  • @sbcistheboss That parts the saddest i think, the music is soo fitting for cursed trodain and hence its the cursed trodain theme. :) Love it! :3 No hope until a hero comes...

  • If i could, i would kiss the forehead of each artist in this world. Thank for making our world so beautiful. Thank you for this song.

  • The journey course that becomes it much with painful during bravery is really good.

  • Loved this game so much! I will never sell my PS2 because of this game!

  • OH THE MEMORIES! I WAS A 9 YEAR OLD KID!

    I love this so much! :''')

  • @acrobatsutr Lol dude same easily best game for ps2

  • @ThePizzaGuru1

    too bad these days its PS3 and Xbox.

    Fantasy games will always RULE

  • @acrobatsutr I know, shame on kid these day

  • This reminds me of the part when that monster(cant remember his name) destroys emperyeas egg and then th babys spirit comes and turns into the gem and then you can fly . Such sad part but least something came out of it good

  • It’s too late to talk to you but it’s still too early to say goodbye. I just want you to know that wherever you are you’re still on my mind. It’s never easy to understand why memories hold our hands but people let go.

  • Beautiful, This song calms my soul.

  • This song is really beautiful! I Love this theme

  • This music brings me into tears when i listen to it, so heartfelt and sweet. Its beautiful. ^_^

  • now a game like this we can just dream it!

  • And to think that this game was a "stand-in" for FFXII. My apologies but DQVIII beat the former on so many levels. The only thing that Final Fantasy had better was the graphics. The latter had a story based on prejudice, betrayal, and love--among other things. The music from beginning to end was awesome and the characters intriguing. Dhoulmagus to me is right up there with the likes of Sephiroth, Seymour, and Kefka. This track, I would love to be played at my funeral. I simply love it.

  • i love you evelne more than my life

  • GOD KNOWS OUR PAINS STRUGGLES THATS WHY HE SENT HIS SON JESUS CHRIST TO PAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD ON CROSS BORN OF WOMAN IN EVERYTHING EXEPT SIN

  • @stryfe1000

    Dude, listen to the music, don't post biased religious comments and ruin and start a stupid ass flame war in the comments. Thank You...stupid troll

  • @GSParasite as cliche as it sounds, it was my brother who wrote that, either way fuck you asshole

  • @stryfe1000

    and here you are, starting the flame war i wanted to avoid. Bravo. More to the point, your brother shouldn't be putting those kinds of comments up. Don't get mad at me for something your brother did...stupid, stupid troll.

  • @GSParasite flame war...lol please you lost as soon as you didn't mind your own fucking business...bye, anyone can write whatever the fuck they want here

  • evelyn for you and me there will no goodbyes if one of us lives we all live honey`111

  • If everyone would listen to this there would be no more war.

  • @RickygoesRawrr

    if everyone could learn to listen to this im sure it will step on happiness path

  • Looks like something Joe Hisaishi could have done... Wonderful.

  • I got this game 2 months after my mom passed. when i got to the point were this started playing.....i just broke down.

  • @CJALSTON31 I'm really sorry for your mother... Stay strong!

  • @Sergioboyyy

    thank you.

  • Try not to hum/whistle along. =P

  • the pinnacle of ps2 jrpgs.

  • normally i dont like this music,but this music in Dragon Quest is so beatiful,i love this song

  • I'm gonna play this music on my wedding night!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • arrgghhhhh!!

    i remember this soundtrack from when i first played this game...

    it makes me mad because i want to go back to the times when i didn't know what came next...

    anyone agree?

  • Thumbs up if you thought dragon quest 8 was awesome

  • @technopixie96 it still is...

  • @technopixie96 Dragon Quest 8 is awesome Fix'd

  • @technopixie96 Amen! :3

  • This piece can really stir nostalgia in you, which it's meant to do. Like if my life were an RPG complete with music, this would be playing if I visited my old grade school or the house I used to live in.

  • @ScottyMcGeester yea i agree but it would be better if your old grade school was torn down or was abandoned or something. Or maybe turned into something else and you remember the flash backs while venturing back there hearing this theme as you walk through the school.

  • @DarkJak31 With music like that, it's hard not to cry at a scene.

  • Best music.......

    Best game......

  • Well check this song

  • i got this game one day for 5 dollars at blockbusters almost 3 years ago,and i still haven't finished darksteel dragon :/

    180 hours+ of gameplay and not complete yet

    so worth my time :)

  • @gurinder2000

    WOW? what level are you at man if youve played 180 hours and still not beaten dark steel dragon?

    (Then again i played for 175 hours and just beat him. By spamming special medicenes and yggdrisal dew FTW)

  • this song is kjhbcdbcjewhbcehw'clkcj;creuih­874tfp43yf8p493hfo8473lfy43gfk­u4qbgckeuqvcukvgcuk!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • Xia gave birth to a healthy baby boy....

  • when the hero marries Medea the ending is just so sad! "cry" was the best game ever :) i still own it

  • @bigfatjerkoff thanks for spoiling it

  • ok....STOP SAYING HOW BEUTIFUL THESE SOUNDTRACKS ARE!....god, they're all nice/beutiful/awsome ok? good!

  • @FinalFantsia We'll say what we like about these vids..thankyou...:)

  • This game cost me a lot of weed hahaha

  • i love this song its so peacfull yet sad i almost cried wen i walked around trodain XD i get to into games >..>

  • man... why isn't there another dragon quest game on a console..

    Honestly, most DS owners are little kids.. they can't appreciate the beautiful music, the amazing storyline, and the impact a game like this can leave on a person. DQ8 is the best game ever!!!

  • @bdon818 Honestly, Dragon Quest 9 sucks, I bought a DS just to get the game and it ruined Dragon Quest for me, So I'm out like 200 bucks and all my good memories of playing this game.... :(

  • @bdon818 you are so right

  • Marta's death was very sad when this music played. I really felt for Marek at this point when he was just completely broken and crying next to his mother's body.

  • I swear this game is so UNDERRATED. Just because it's not like Final Fantasy or any popular game doesn't mean it's not great.

  • @uberkewl19 Luckily this game is very popular in Japan or so I heard,though sadly there are many underrated games out there that not many do not know of like Rouge Galaxy or Good beyond Evil in my opinion.

  • @uberkewl19 Actually, FF was like DQ. DQ came out first, after all, and all other JRPGs are based on it to greater or lesser degrees.

  • @uberkewl19 i know what you mean i bring up dragon quest 8 in a convo and no one knows what it is it makes me REALLY sad :( in my opinion its better than final fantsy...

  • I can't believe this video has 10.5k views only.

    This is the best music i've heard in my life.

  • You can't listen to this song w/o attempting to hold back tears. Making to cursed Trodain made me stand in sheer amazement. Shameful the critics looked at this game as only a "standby" to Final Fantasy XII---a letdown if you asked me.

  • the best game ever made on any system..thats how i feel, this game is undescribable in words, even feeling, u would have 2 like go inside my mind and feel all the feeling i have for this game...never will be another game like this..im tryin 2 get a copy of this game and a playstation 2 again..kuz i have a memory card of this game..one day when i get all three 2gether i will finish something i started

  • @LiLBr0wNCLoWn i feel for u bro in the same situation got the old ps2 memory card but no ps2 and i rented the game was like 3 years ago had a epic monster team and all....Now i must go search for this game again. BTW this game was way better then final fantasy if anyone asks me

  • @palomine21040 yea man, dude i made it all the way to the last monster team but...they kept beatin me i didnt give up i just didnt have my ps2 anymore lol but i promise when i get it ack i will finish what i started btw what was ur monster team?

  • i cry so much when i hear this music in that scene with king pavan and sasha T.T

  • its crazy what this type of music does to you......

  • It should be so perfect to see it live , with an orchestra and all .. :)

  • this song is as elegant as a cat .....so pure and sad

  • @TheUnforgivingOne

    So this song is pure and sad as it relates to the elegance of a cat?

    Why are your cat's sad? Oh wait, are they only sad when they're being elegant? :P

    (I will agree with the song being pure and sad though)

  • where can i download this???

  • Isnt it crazy that a song can make you feel like this?

    Top Game.

  • This song invokes so much emotion... Wonder, sorrow, hope, and even purity. Just beautiful..

  • magnificent and emotional music for one of the top rpgs in PS2. I remembered being so moved by the scene when abbot Francisco's burial takes place because of this music. Excellent work of art

  • @rpgmaster947 this track makes you wanna put a tear in your eye :((

  • @rpgmaster947 The intake of pain, saddness, sorrow, grief, devastation, an engulfment of almost complete loss yet the compulsion of moving forward from a single ray of hope that gives birth to determination and revenge, courage and rage, Friendship and hatred, for many different reasons inwhich this group moves along. Experiencing what they learn as well as what they don't want to. This truly is a song that can make a person believe they have a soul through riveting emotion and story-plot.

  • @rpgmaster947 not one THE top rpg for the ps2

  • @Lyonheader umm not exactly. I liked kingdom hearts and persona 3 more. But still being one of the top rpgs for ps2 rocks!!!

  • Best track of the best PS2 game !

  • I usually like to refrain from speaking in absolutes, but I do not think it unrealistic to say that this might be the prettiest thing I've ever heard.

    It's so beautiful and melodic, making you feel the fantastical nature of the game it's from. And yet it's almost painfully mournful, reflecting the environment it plays in. For some reason, it sends ripples of nostalgia and longing through me, for what, I don't know...

    ...Heh, so yeah, I like it.
