is dragon quest 8 better than ff?

[Markus. D]

Its in the eyes of the indavidual.

DQVIII is pretty much the antithesis of FFVII. Let's compare:

FFVII --- DQVIII

Cyberpunk --- Swords & Sorcery
Bad Translation --- Good Translation
ZOMG TEH UBARL337 KOTR SUMMON MATERIAZ LOLOLOL --- Oh look! I got a new spell that lets me do 30 damage to all enemies! SWEET!
Extremely whiney characters --- Extremely comical characters
Cinematic FMVs --- In game graphics onry!
No voice acting --- Tons of voice acting
Long, drawn out, cinematic attacks --- Brief attack animations with text descriptions
You get money for breathing --- You occasionally get small amounts of money for achieving the impossible
Tifa --- Jessica
You can literally OHK many of the bosses --- The toughest optional boss is immune to magic and only takes about 5 damage per hit

So really, it all comes down to what your preference is in RPGs.

you cant blame the graphics and voice acting to a game that is older if you did you might as well say pong shouldnt exist and then no games would exist

I really think that Dragon Quest VIII has died out in America and other places. Only some people like Dragon Quest Games a lot. I think it's viewers are more asian people.

The graphics, voice overs aren't the best either but that won't break a game. It's a fun game, give it a try. But to be honest if you like RPG games, and like wasting your time away this would be the game for you.

It's a really good game, although the storyline is cliche and predictable. It's going to feel like an old school rpg with bright, modern graphics. And although the game itself is pretty linear, it can be really fun exploring the literally massive world you are given at will. Not to mention this game will take you a very long time to complete, so it's well worth the money in my opinion.

To comment on voice acting in the game, the Japanese version doesn't have voice acting. Most english voice overs for games are pretty poor in general, at least, compared to their Japanese counterparts. And you can turn the voices off, if it really bothers you that much. So it's not even an issue.

Eh?

the guy was talkin bout ff7 cant you read roman numbers about one of his points most game have obtinal bosses that you cant kill on one hit there are some bosses in everygame that a certain spell can kill em very fast like if you get limit golve for quina on ff9 and use it on gislamuke it kills it in one there are a few bosses that you can kill with items on almost every ff.

[Zeromus_X]

What does he mean by that? Final Fantasy VI? Dragon Quest VI? What 6?
