I currently am: (SPOILER)just after getting the Godbird's son, and I went to the High Priest's mansion on that floating rock, and overheard the High Priest's conversation with Marcello
I just got a wee bit bored with it, and went back to FFVII. Then I went back to DQVIII and then went to FFX and FFVIII. I'll go back to DQVIII shortly.

In particular the (SPOILER)Pirate's cave and Dragon's Graveyard
 took me longer than I would have liked. I found this with most dungeons/towers/whatever. Likewise with (SPOILER)Rydon's Tower

Don't get me wrong, I do like the game, and I think its great. Just not quite up to the level of Final Fantasy, IMO. I've just gotten a bit bored with it. The first time I played just about every FF, (FFX and FFVIII in particular, those are my favorites) I found that I couldn't put it down. DQVIII however, is a different story.

I think the thing that boils me the most is the fact that you have to go find a church and talk to some stupid priest in order to save the game. I'm spoiled to savepoints and saving anywhere on the world map, I guess.

Plus, I'm not a such big fan of cartoons (or anime, to many of you), since I passed 10 years of age.

Battle wise and stroy wise, excellent.
Dragon Quest just doesn\'t have that Oomph.
Most definitely. The storyline is a little weak, so far. As well, I think the fact that it's a cartoon makes me not take it as seriously as FF. Call me shallow, but I guess I can't get past that.
