Yo people, iv been looking at walkthorughs on youtube for this game and the problems are, people dont get the chest's, people dont show you how to make Alcemy Pots, and people dont comment right, so Im gonna do a full on DQ walkthrough call Lets Play Dragon Quest 8: Part 1 The Opening, and continue from there, it will have commentery show almost all the chests, and there will be little video cutting so you can keep up :)
I dont know how ppl can like this game. Ok i like the game, but its offer you more frustration then enjoyment. The this is you have whole dungeon to go through with out a SINGLE DAM SAVE and on top ot that fight BOSS. I so far didn't find anything more fustrating then this.
This is one of my favourite games of all time, fantastic story, awesome characters and graphic and the random battles can get really annoying at times but it is still freaking awesome
this is one of the best games ever, lots of things to do and many secrets to it. its a game thats had a lot of work put into it and even though it was great for its time it kept the classic rpg face. i still play this game and i have to say it never gets old
I've played at least 100 rpg's, and this is my favorite ever. Skies of Arcadia is a close second. The story in this game was so epic and well written, and I loved my monster teams. Plus when you think the game is over you get a new dungeon with hard enemies and new items. Only thing i didn't like, was how hard it was to steal items. I never even attacked with Yangus for most of the game cuz I was too busy trying to complete the item list lol.
was just playing dragon quest 9 on an emu, quickly watched a review, found out there is hardly any character personality in it, instantly deleted emu, found my old copy of this and am currently on another play through of the best game i have ever played. this made my childhood (well around 12 or something, whenever it was released) still got the guide and everything. fuck yeah, jessica in a bunny costume here i come.
well i'll always remember final fantasy 10 being best rpg I ever played. Been trying to get into final fantasy 2 but its story is basically 3 people save kingdom so far . . . ='(
I tried really hard to like this game but eventually gave up. This serie is the Japanese answer to Call of Duty: little to no improvement at every game, paper thin storyline and same gameplay mechanic. The only difference is that the so-called "hardcore gamers" will hate on Bobby Kotick but will praise Square-Enix even if they have been playing the same game for 20 freaking years!
@RemovdSande11 this game is the most fun rpg game there is in my opinion. GET IT!!! you will love it and you will at least put in 100 hours of extremly fun gameplay. I dont even like rpg games very much but this game is gold X)
remember playing this game 2year ago! One of the best times in my life (so far):D Hate that i can't find it anymore D: So just waiting for a better PC so i can play it on PCSX2 :D
@SmexyAsianGirls hmmm i defenitly like this game but i liked skies of arcadia more demons souls is also good its action rpg though. i still have this game =P but damn ps3 cant play ps2 games thats so bs
Ow... I miss this game soo much my Playstation 2 can't read this game anymore... And i cant buy this game anymore because i cant find it in the shops... I love this game realy much!
@IgreGames lol my stupid little sister droped water on ps2 and ps3 cant play it wth srsly sony? i think my ps2 should do fine now though but sony srsly why cant ps3 play ps2 games?
I Played Dragon Warrior 1-4 back in the early 90's, Just played 250+ hours of Dragon Quest IX (and then lost my DS!) , getting Dragon Quest VIII when i get payed in 2 days, for $10!
@MoisChanVsTamama It's been out for about six years and people return it A LOT. They decided to put down the price so that people don't feel like they're wasting their money :/
Ok some of you say about ffx(which is my favourite btw)that is better,but pls dont say that ffx soundtrack is better.Sugiyama is the greatest living games composer.None comes close,except mb from Sakimoto.
@DiscoStu139 definetly not the best rpg on ps2, ffx is 100 times better. story is much better, graphics, gameplay, characters(way better), and the soundtrack is the best iv ever seen, the songs set the mood and pull u into the game
@HeThrewUpEverywhere This game pushed me up to 105 hours to beat, also did a few side stuff, Final Fantasy X is good, mainly for it's story, Star Ocean 3 is good, so is Persona 3&4, the ps2 has a lot of good RPG's, but the snes is like the god in my opinion, with games like Chrono Trigger, Earth Bound, and Star Ocean 1, it's hard o go wrong.
Got this 3 days ago for 9.50 and this game rocks!!! I'm so addicted I have 27 hours in already. Was looking for an rpg and now I find the best one. Tons of exploration, and the alchemy is cool too. If you get stuck its so easy to grind it, just use whistle and you can stand outside of a town and just keep summoning and at night its off the hook. I recommend this to anyone wanting a rock solid game. Would love to see level 5 do another like this for 360. Now that would be a preorder!
@iam16bit I HATE the fact that so many sequels to so many amazing games get released just on handheld consoles, pisses me off like crazy. Like kingdom heart sequels on hand helds only, final fantasy 7 spinoffs and sequels on hand helds only, shit like that poppin up everywhere, drives me nuts.
Whilst I do agree with your review and most of the comments heres, Dragon Quest VIII didn't feel like a Dragon Quest game in my opinion. It had the beautiful visuals, music and the usual crazy plot but I generally felt that something was amiss. I can't quite put my finger on it though. Perhaps I'm stuck in the past haha . An excellent review of a great game regardless. Good job. ^_^
@Kevitivity - if you like this game go pick up White Knight Chronicles on the PS3 when it comes out on the 2nd...its made by the same dEvs LEvel 5. they also made Rouge Galaxy and Dark Cloud 1 and 2 on PS2. As well as Jeane D' arc on PSP... GREat Dev Great game!
I hope you're talking about the woman in the game (Jessica), otherwise you might seriously need glasses (or a new pair if you are already wearing one) XD.
And if you were being sarcastic, then disregard my previous comment altogether :P.
I've just finished dragon quest monsters joker and I really enjoyed dragon warrior monsters for the GBC but I've never played any of the other dragon quest games. Would this be a good place to start?
Definitely. This game has an amazing story to it and it's incredibly addicting. It's a MASSIVE exp-farming fest so I hope you are prepared for spending hours in the later levels trying to level up.
I beated it a few days ago [not the best ending though, I need to finish a last quest to get that]
for me, it was a great game, there are parts I would cut, but besides those parts [that aren't long , at least] it's an awesome RPG, great graphics and music, it's very long, and has a lot of stuff to do... you can play it forever, lol
I'm still playing it after 74 gameplay hours and having beated it xP and some people have gone for way more hours lol
Is this a good game for someone who isn't an RPG fan? That's not saying I dislike RPGs. I'll play an RPG if it's a good game overall. The only RPGs I have played were FF 7, 9, and 10. Final Fantasy 7 was the only RPG that I really got into (go figure), and is actually one of my favorite video games of all time. Given this information, would I like DQ8?
Did you read the rest of my comment? I said I wasn't an RPG fan. I didn't say I didn't like RPGs. Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favorite video games ever.
I gave you my opinion from you said, and you said "Is this a good game for someone who isn't an RPG fan?", and yes I did read the rest, but that doesn't change my answer.
Final Fantasy has the same battle system as this one, except a few more options are added and the camera focus on the monsters. So, if you like Final Fantasy, like i do, you're gonna love playing this one :)
i heard this game is good and i wanna get it, but the only thing thats stopping me is that is everyone telling me "its hard as hell!!!" im not sure if i should get it.
It really isn't. As long as you take good advice from good people and stay at a good level throughout, this game'll be a breeze. Trust me, I've mastered it.
ive mastered it too the only thing left to do is get EVERY item in the game which i dont think is possible cause of things like the megaton hammer needing conquers axe
well i got one piece of advice for you, you gotta grind alot. if your not into grinding you'll be kinda fustrated and the battles will be harder for you but overall its a greawt game
This game is fantastic! From the music to the graphics to the voice acting to the characters... This woman...talk about lack of enthusiasm... go take another valium, theres a good girl...
Whenever I commit myself to a game, I commit myself to beating it.
When I started this game I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm used to games taking me 2, maybe 3 days to beat. That's because all I can do with myself is play a game once I've started it. But this game is so fucking gigantic it took me WEEKS of grinding to beat it. However, when I did, I felt the most extreme satisfaction. Kudos to Dragon Quest 8 for being a throwback to old-school role-playing games and an amazing game.
I recommend this game. It has all the classic RPG elements and some humor. It's very lengthy too, it took me 80 hours the first time through, a very enjoyable 80 hours.
i wish they would have remade dragon quest 4 5 and 6 in this style instead of the ds style. in fact they could have probably put all 3 games into a single ps2 game with these graphics AND orchestrated music. then i state the obvious: i wish dragon quest 9 were on ps2, ps3, or even psp instead of ds
I didn't liked the Final Fantasy series and I used to hate the RPG games. But all that changed when my sister bought me this game for my b-day present, I was addicted.
I've shitted better reviews than this, her voice is tedious, and she is just saying the same thing over and over again, albeit with different phrasing.
The only reason I'm giving it five stars is because its not mistressatma's fault that the reviewer is so bad, and I like the game.
this game is pretty fun, especially when I feel like playing an RPG thats fun and has lots to offer. Only this is that tuen based fighting can get a bit boring, especially in the begining, but you learn some tight skills
i really like this old style rpg, they just need better graphics and some cut scenes with great summons during battle. Besides this style my favourite is the one in Kingdom hearts, really awesome!
This games play style reminds me of old fashioned Final Fantasy games with random battles and the Acid screen haha.But since I have played it I know that it is totally different from their norm of a story.
DONT READ THIS 1997 a girl called lauren was walikng in a forest and then a she just dissapeared no one ever found her untill 2000 when a yoing girl called Mary found her body and markings on her chest saying: I wasnt pretty enough" and now you have read this she will appear in your mirror saying your not pretty enough and kill you. by the way the girl called mary died shortly after.
To be saved paste this to 5 other videos. THIS TRUE
I am confused at your comment isn't that what the best RPG's are? I mean take for example any Final Fantasy game I personnally find that to be a long game turns out to be an extremely fun game to play. Also World of Warcraft is a constant ongoing MMORPG and is rated to be a very highly played game still and I like it too.
This may not have the best plot, I believe it's one of the most predictable I've ever seen. But I can easily say this is the best made and most enjoyable RPG I've ever played. It doesn't hold your hand for you, and I like that.
Yo people, iv been looking at walkthorughs on youtube for this game and the problems are, people dont get the chest's, people dont show you how to make Alcemy Pots, and people dont comment right, so Im gonna do a full on DQ walkthrough call Lets Play Dragon Quest 8: Part 1 The Opening, and continue from there, it will have commentery show almost all the chests, and there will be little video cutting so you can keep up :)

@abyssDT The simple solution to this, get to a higher level!
If you're struggling with even the trashpacks leading up to the boss, you are too low a level.
And stock up on herbs to heal your party right before the boss so you can heal with your MP bar full.

This is a RPG game, so if you aren't a RPG fan, then I don't suggest buying it.

Did you read the rest of my comment? I said I wasn't an RPG fan. I didn't say I didn't like RPGs. Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favorite video games ever.

I gave you my opinion from you said, and you said "Is this a good game for someone who isn't an RPG fan?", and yes I did read the rest, but that doesn't change my answer.

Final Fantasy has the same battle system as this one, except a few more options are added and the camera focus on the monsters. So, if you like Final Fantasy, like i do, you're gonna love playing this one :)

i heard this game is good and i wanna get it, but the only thing thats stopping me is that is everyone telling me "its hard as hell!!!" im not sure if i should get it.

The game itself is easy, the bosses are hard as hell.

It really isn't. As long as you take good advice from good people and stay at a good level throughout, this game'll be a breeze. Trust me, I've mastered it.
lyokodude122 2 years ago
ive mastered it too the only thing left to do is get EVERY item in the game which i dont think is possible cause of things like the megaton hammer needing conquers axe
penguinmaster2008 2 years ago
well i got one piece of advice for you, you gotta grind alot. if your not into grinding you'll be kinda fustrated and the battles will be harder for you but overall its a greawt game

Whenever I commit myself to a game, I commit myself to beating it.
When I started this game I had no idea what I was getting into. I'm used to games taking me 2, maybe 3 days to beat. That's because all I can do with myself is play a game once I've started it. But this game is so fucking gigantic it took me WEEKS of grinding to beat it. However, when I did, I felt the most extreme satisfaction. Kudos to Dragon Quest 8 for being a throwback to old-school role-playing games and an amazing game.

I recommend this game. It has all the classic RPG elements and some humor. It's very lengthy too, it took me 80 hours the first time through, a very enjoyable 80 hours.

i wish they would have remade dragon quest 4 5 and 6 in this style instead of the ds style. in fact they could have probably put all 3 games into a single ps2 game with these graphics AND orchestrated music. then i state the obvious: i wish dragon quest 9 were on ps2, ps3, or even psp instead of ds

I didn't liked the Final Fantasy series and I used to hate the RPG games. But all that changed when my sister bought me this game for my b-day present, I was addicted.

I've shitted better reviews than this, her voice is tedious, and she is just saying the same thing over and over again, albeit with different phrasing.
The only reason I'm giving it five stars is because its not mistressatma's fault that the reviewer is so bad, and I like the game.

woot yea a 9!
this game is pretty fun, especially when I feel like playing an RPG thats fun and has lots to offer. Only this is that tuen based fighting can get a bit boring, especially in the begining, but you learn some tight skills

i really like this old style rpg, they just need better graphics and some cut scenes with great summons during battle. Besides this style my favourite is the one in Kingdom hearts, really awesome!

This games play style reminds me of old fashioned Final Fantasy games with random battles and the Acid screen haha.But since I have played it I know that it is totally different from their norm of a story.

I am confused at your comment isn't that what the best RPG's are? I mean take for example any Final Fantasy game I personnally find that to be a long game turns out to be an extremely fun game to play. Also World of Warcraft is a constant ongoing MMORPG and is rated to be a very highly played game still and I like it too.
linkindachain 3 years ago
This may not have the best plot, I believe it's one of the most predictable I've ever seen. But I can easily say this is the best made and most enjoyable RPG I've ever played. It doesn't hold your hand for you, and I like that.

I love RPG games, i remember playing Dragon warrior on gameboy and i beat every single one in the series. took about 3 weeks.

DQ8 is THE best RPG for the PS2 (no doubt).
KH2 would be second and then either Dark Chronicle or FFX (..not XII)
