Dragon Quest VIII

In Dragon Warrior

The new Dragon Quest looks sweet. How about a fairly long gameplay trailer? Here's a link to it:



I am so on top of this. Just a note, there's a rumor that if the sales of this Dragon Warrior do well, Dragon Warrior V will finally find it's way to North American shores. One can only hope, but I'm gonna jump on this. Dragon Warrior is one sweet RPG series.

Indeed I will be crossing my fingers for all you North Americans.

I hope for you that you get those games in the US.
Those are really great. I will definitely buy them in Japan when they are cheap, unless I don't even own a PS2 yet.

Here's is the link to download the trailer for DQ VIII. This trailer played on G4TV's Cinematech last week. One notable difference from the Japanese version is that, Kukule's name has been changed to Angelo.



if it were on the GameCube, I'd be a lot more excited... I'm not a Sony fan...

I'm a Sony fan.

I'm a video game fan.

I haven't played any of the Dragon Warrior games past part four. I really should've grabbed seven when it was out, but I didn't. I think I may grab this one though. I'm interested in seeing how the series has progressed.

anyone know if VII is good?



This is an excellent RPG that boasts some of the best gameplay and one of the greatest stories of any RPGs I've played. The puzzles and riddles that are so abundant in the game are both challenging, and logical, and add a lot to the game play.




The same sentence could have come from me.

I'm a videogame fan (as Roth said), but for some reason I dislike Sony. I have an aversion to it.
Though... if I had the money I'd probably buy the Sony consoles just because of the Square-Enix and Namco games...

thanks Startropics and is it rare at all?

I agree with manuel and Friends.

It is a hard to find game. I bougth it last year at EB games(used), for $30.

Your desires to follow in your father’s footsteps and become a fisherman are quickly abated when the adventuresome Prince Kiefer and the lovable Maribel convince you to go on a quest with them. Traveling back through time, you’ll try to solve puzzles and unravel mystery after mystery in this involving game for the PlayStation. The purpose of the game is to discover lost continents and use secret information in order to help preserve these mysterious lands for the future. If you fail, these magical kingdoms and their inhabitants will, once again, meet their ends. The real question here is what deadly force pushed these lands into extinction in the first place, but you’ll need to find out a whole lot before you can begin to answer that riddle. A tremendous epic that gamers of all skill levels can get into, Dragon Warrior VII is a worthy entry in this long-running series.




This game looks great. I know someone on another board that said, it took them 85 hours to beat it, and 25 hours to level up. Sounds like a great long game! Some else also said it lacks great story though...

I wouldn't say it lacks great story, I think the story sounds interesting.

DQ 8 revolves around a mystical scepter which is stolen by an evil jester named Dhoulmagus. Dhoulmagus cast a curse upon the kingdom of Trodain, transforming people into thorns and deforming the king and the princess into beasts. You must seek out Dhoulmagus and reverse the curse to save the king.

Watch this !

Well, I really need to pick up a PS2. I almost did today, but the PS2 didn't work.

Take a look at these cool

Thats sweet! I use to have Zelda figures like that. (from OoT)

is it just me or on the DQ figures the face expressions looked like DBZ face expressions.






No, they really do look like the DBZ series.

Detailed shot of the menu.


That looks sweet. I really got to get a PS2, or atleast my friend will get it.

i wish they would make it for the gamecube.. Im afraid i wont ever buy any playstation product as ong as i live.



I use to think that (since I don't liek Sony), but there are good games for the PS, and PS2. This is just one of them. The game still looks great. Atleast the DS is getting one.

Finally they launched the . Enjoy.

The official site has been updated. Enjoy.


hahaha, nice toy shot of jessica's assets, geez, I love Dragon Warrior, but I'm not really liking the DBZ artwork, I don't mind DBZ, but I guess it just makes the games seem less serious as an epic quest.
