I'm not a deep RPG player. I haven't scratched the surface. But, I'm confident that this is one that should be considered in the hall of fame. Amazing & deep turn-based gameplay, immaculate score, interesting storyline, incredible art direction & design from the master, Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball, Chrono Trigger), vibrant characters, and authentic, well-written, well-acted dialogue. Everything in this game is so well done it's crazy that they had to include a Final Fantasy XII demo disc in order to market it to North America. This is an absolute Class "A" Game.

DQ VIII is simply one of the best RPG games ever made. It is a masterpiece of art and graphics as well as a deep story line. The voice acting is superb, better than most movies made today. there is an extremely wide variety of villains, victims and good folk. The story itself is tightly interwoven as it unfolds across a massive world that you can and must explore. For old school RPG gamers, this game is the ultimate blend of fun, challenges and GRINDING! Once you start to play you will not want to put this game aside. If you're a fan of turn based, old school RPG's and just love to hunt Metal Slimes, this is the game for you!

Should have bought this years ago, but better late than never. This original NA version of DQ is not as rare as DWVII is on ebay. But I think it could get there. I got the game for that dual-fold purpose - to have and cherish one of the best RPG's in history, and hold it as a collectible. I am not into remakes, especially when so much is changed as was the case with the DWVII remake. Get the original if you want to play a good game.

It took me only a couple of weeks to get through this game. What an absolute pleasure it was to play! Compelling story and characters, a well thought-out world, intuitive and polished battle system...I could go on. It’s perfect! Definitely requires quite a time commitment to enjoy fully since you for sure need to grind quite a bit but it was so much fun that it didn’t bother me one bit. Every fan on JRPGs needs to play this game.

For this game to look good, on your PS2, you need good connections to HD test. There are component cables, but I found that terrible. So used a converter cable PS2 to HDMI, and the screen play improved a lot. The game is somewhat loopy, and the humor is groaner,groaned,, but I enjoy it. Gets a little difficult, while you adjust battles, and alchemy. Well worth playing many times. One girl player, kinda hangs out of her outfit to borderline ummmm. Just a parents warning. lol
