Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King and the classic JRPG gameplay entertained me enough so when Square Enix announced the American release and that it was coming with a demo of
Final Fantasy XII, it was without question that I was going to buy it.
DQVIII was a bit different from what I used to primarily playing the
Final Fantasy series with its slower paced battles, faith themes, and game overs resulting in loss of currency, but also familiar with its vast over-world, silliness, and charm. This was also my first experience with Akira Toriyama's art outside of the
Dragonball series. I found the game massively enjoyable and it had remained my only experience with
Dragon Quest until now.
