The PS2 video game Dragon Quest VIII alone is the best selling The only real positive thing about this game is the wide variety of customization options.Since its initial release on the Famicom in 1986, the series has been most loved by Japanese gamers.
The art style is great but nothing new here since it's just like previous games. This was one of the few games that might've convinced me to buy a DS but instead it ended up making me take a pass. This game really seems to be aimed at a younger audience, nothing wrong with that of course, but it offers close to zero value for a more mature gamer. The big draw to this game was supposed to be the four player co-op but I doubt a lot of people actually got to play it that way and as a result you end up with a group of silent protagonists which obviously doesn't help the plot. The story and most of the characters are dull for the most part. The story and most Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies just doesn't live up to its predecessor. … Expandĭragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies just doesn't live up to its predecessor. What sets this game apart from the other Dragon quest titles: + Enemies visible when out of combat (no more pure random encounters) + Massive postgame content in the form of dungeons, weapons and much more (some are download by wi-fi and thus discontinued though) + Creatable characters: you create your own character AND companions (choosing their class and appearance) - The companions have pretty much no impact on the story since they're self-inserts For those new to Dragon Quest: - You can create weapons, armor and items by using drops or items that grow in the overworld - Turn based combat - Great music - Long interesting storyline -Class system (Warrior, mage, ranger.) Would definetly recommend this game to anyone who has played or wants to play a classic JRPG, heck I would recommend this game to just about anyone. The character designs are great as well, being made by the legendary Akira Toriyama (Dragon ball Z). His music sounds epic and nostalgic without being bloated or pretentious. As usual with Dragon quest games: the music Is a piece of art written by the well known Koichi Sugiyama.
Not to mention the sheer size of this game, just the story will take you over 50 hours to complete and none of it will feel like a bore.
The story is typical dragon quest, yet it has some refined edges around it that make it stand out in the series. It has the classic turn based combat system that we all know (and most people like/love) but it has an edge over the older JRPG's with the new addition of seeing random encounters on the overworld and because of that being able to dodge or attack specific monsters. It has the classic turn based combat system that we all know (and most people like/love) A traditional JRPG that does about everything right. A traditional JRPG that does about everything right.
