Dragon Quest VIII
Can I just ask a few things about Dragon Quest VIII:
1) Is it similar to the FF series?
2) If not or if there are similarities, how does it play? What is the levelling up like?
3) Does anyone know if there any plans to release DQ VIII in PAL regions. I know for a fact that DQ VII wasn't released here, and there appears to be no information on Amazon.co.uk or Play.com (two UK websites) about this game being released.
I'm playing through FFX just now, and after that, I NEED A NEW RPG!
1) It's an RPG like FF.
2) Battles are like FF and the leveling up is the same.
3) ?
Play the other FF's why don't ya.
3. Games TM recently confirmed it would be released in PAL territories.
It plays quite like FF, although it system is more of the old RPG style, which isnt a bad thing.
Its the usual RPG fare with DQVIII, Leveling up is pretty standard. All basic, I leave you to decide if that is a bad thing.
It will make it too PAL regions, but expect a Long wait.
Does anybody have any strategy to defeat the Lord of the Dragovians for the Dragovian trials because I am stuck on him?
Eurogamer.net has it lested for a TBC February release.
Yeah I saw the release date on Eurogamer, but then I looked up Amazon and Play.Com, and they're usually pretty up-to-date, so it was a bit of a disappointment to see it.
I don't mean is it a RPG, I knew that beforehand, I mean is it similar difficulty to the FF's, how long does it take to complete, how hard is it?
For me it took around 100 hours.
Lots of training and side quest fun.
(And I just saw the second ending and I am very pleased. Nothing to great, but still good.)
It's like FF and also not like FF. It's much more old school. FF is more wildly experimentational while DQ has always been much more traditional. Fight monsters, level up, defeat the boss, save the princess. And you get cool swords and stuff.
Yeah, depends what you'd classify a "long wait".Originally Posted by Dreddz
i already have 27hours in this game passed... the game is not bad and have a nice story... the characters make you remenber dragon ball characters... but it is funny
I posted here a couple of days ago. The computer freaking screwed me. Why is it that every 5 minutes this site tells me I'm no longer logged in?
Anyway, I was just about ready to fight Dhoulmagus for the first time at Dark Ruins when I had to return DQ8 to the rental shop. At what point am I in the game? Halfway, Thirdway, Quarterway?
I'm Rank C Champ with Talos, Bladewolf, and Potbelly. Bw and Pb die too fast in the D rounds.
Do I get anything for depositing some sum at the gold bank. I've given 5000 so far.
I've completed Jessica's Bunny outfit *smirks* and have collected the Staff of Divine Wrath from Princess Minnie.
Can anyone tell me what this special medicine is that Dodgey Dave wants?
Will I have to go to the church everytime I want to know how much EXP I need to get to the next level till the end of the game? And is it possible to get all the abilities (there is enough Skill Points)?
The fight with Dhoulmagus is just above half. The medicine for Dodgey dave is just that, Special Medicine, out two strong ones in the pot and there ya go.
Yes, you need to go to the church everytime you wanna now about next LVL EXP. No you can't get all the abilities I think you're able to max 2 sets of skills, which for the hero needs to be swords and courage. Each character has the same amount of skill points, a few of the faqs and threads on www.gamefaqs.com list alot of the character info.
It is technically possible, though the amount of time you would need to devote to the game is beyond insane.
First of all, at level 99, every character will have gained 350 total skill points no matter what. It will just eventually even out that way. Obviously you would need 500 to max everything.
The way to do this is through skill seeds. These are an item you can find that gives you 5 skill points just by using it. However, you'll only find a handful throughout the game. There are a couple enemies that can drop a skill seed. The drop rates are incredibly low, but it is technically possible that you could spend enough time fighting these monsters until you find enough skill seeds to accomplish your goal. You would need 30 seeds per character, for a total of 120.
So yeah, technically possible, but not many people are going to do this.
