@xPLOWBOYx DQIX? For the DS? The game where you played a guardian? Wasn't the presentation similar to DQVIII?

@MacabreMilkman Me too; it looks like X is close but we'll have to wait for XI it seems :(

@MacabreMilkman true sequel? Dragon Quest IX for the DS was great game.

[MacabreMilkman]

I'm still waiting for a true sequel for this game.

I gave up on this game as soon as I found out you can only save in churches. Fuck that shit.

@darknight10000 Exactly!! to each his own! everyone has their own opinion but FFX does have a pretty unbeatable story RPG wise so thats a pretty good choice! :)

@mangafansam The music fits the game but I don't really like it. And FFX had one of the best stories in the series. I don't care what anyone thinks.

@Ltheworldchanger Totally agree, when i first saw the artstyle, I was completely put off, but I was bored, couldn't be bothered to search for other anime, now i'm over a 100 episodes in and loving it

@darknight10000 The orchestral music is fantastic, it's moving, energising, and fits perfectly with the game.

FF lost the plot after FF10

I honestly gave Dragon Quest VIII a chance and I dislike it wholey. The soundtrack is awefull and the characters themselves aren't much to write home about. But I will say the story has taken interesting turns here and there and that's something I apprectiate. Though given the chance I'd pick Final Fantasy over Dragon Quest every single time.
