Dragon Quest VIII was actually my introduction to the series. I was so excited to finally try a game in the series and after plopping about 50 hours into it, I was left saying “what’s the big deal?” But then I reviewed DQIV for Cat Fancy and for some reason, it made the series click a bit more with me. Then I played V and VI and so when I returned to VIII, I had a fantastic time with it. It’s definitely up there with V and IX in my book (IX probably being last on that list)

Good LusiGoblet submissions so far, but only two. I can’t choose one unless there are at least 5.

@Lusi – On the PSP, FFIX looks the best and it’s easier to eat at the same time or something to deal with the slow battles. As more of my childhood favourite games reveal themselves to be weaker than I originally thought, it’s such a delight to return to the masterwork of FFIX.

DQ8 even has monster collecting and fighting. You go from collecting them in the field to fighting them in pre-arranged teams in an arena to using them in the normal game. I haven’t delved into it, but the system looks pretty neat.

I agree with Wolfe, DQ VIII is great, great story telling, great music, great characters, some comedy here and there, sometimes being serious, one of the best Jrpg I played in the 00s .

LusiGoblets are people who visit Lusipurr.com that need to read certain kind of articles, if they don’t, they die go to hell and have to play with an xbone with wii controllers .

If you are intending to continue delving into the Dragon Quest series, I cannot recommend VIII for the PS2 enough. That remains, along with Final Fantasy XII, one of the best JRPG experiences I had in the 00s. Beautiful soundtrack, beautiful atmosphere, and an enchanting, almost Lunar-esque story telling.

LusiGoblets: The vessels that I will drain your blood into if you continue to praise Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time.

FF9 is awesome and I am considering replaying it.

Dragon Quest games are not good!

Also, this is the most sanguine view of ME3 I’ve ever read. Fantastic job.
