Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (2004)

Themes:Action, Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is the eighth installment in the Dragon Quest series, developed by Level-5 and published by Square Enix for the PlayStation 2 video game console. It was also later released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2015.
It is a traditional Japanese-style role-playing game with random enemy encounters, simple turn-based combat mechanics, and management of a party consisting of four characters, each belonging to a clearly defined class. Unlike its predecessors in the series and most Japanese RPGs in general, the game features a continuous world with fairly vast landscapes and integrated towns and dungeons, as opposed to world map traveling and locations represented by icons. The game features full camera rotation and optional first-person view.
Like in the previous Dragon Quest games, many objects can be interacted with; for example, barrels can be physically lifted, carried, and broken, to reveal items hidden within.Show more

Best PS2 JRPG.
Great Gameplay. Great Story. Amazing graphic style. Fun to play. Akira Toriyama characters.
Great soundtrack.
One of the best games ever made, not available to buy.
Not only one of the best RPGs of all time, Dragon Quest VIII can be considered one of the best games of all time! DQ VIII has all ingredients for an unforgetable game! The amazing story by Dragon Quest's creator Yuji Horii, the art of legendary Akira Toriyama and the epic soundtrack by the music master Koichi Sugiyama... All of this packed on an amazing adventure with delicious cel-shading graphics that lets you involved in that amazing world for incontable hours, and when you are in the last boss, the tears of joy and sadness (because you know that your are saving that world but that awesome story is coming to an end) are rolling by your face, and you know that moment will be marked in your mind and heart for the rest of your life... So, this is the reason that Dragon Quest VIII: The Sky, the Sea, the Earth and the Cursed Princess (I like the japanese subtitle more) is a must play for all publics! So i think that GoG could do a partnership with Square-Enix to bring back not only Dragon Quest VIII but all DQ games that didn't come yet! So that's it!!!
I had a great time, I loved it and I spent many hours enjoying it without wanting it to end... unfortunately the PS2 disc was ruined (because I played so much or because I was a kid and didn't know how to take care of it). I would love to be able to play it, but I didn't see it anywhere.
One of the greatest JRPGs ever released with, unfortunately, no way to properly play it on modern systems (unless you play the 3ds or the landscape mobile port). It really is criminal that such a cornerstone of Playstation 2 JRPGs has never ben properly rereleased on modern consoles, or even on PC
Definitely one of my favorite RPGs and my favorite from the Dragon Quest series and not surprisingly many others as well. The 3DS version would be the best to preserve and become widely available. Not much needed in changes, maybe the ability to have optional dialogue, cutscenes, quests with Jessica, maybe another love interest with the main character, maybe an anthro monster or a succubat with an interesting story and/or quests. Even without it, still an excellent game and love the new true ending with Jessica.
