The game begins with the court jester of the kingdom of Trodain, Dhoulmagus, stealing an ancient scepter and casting a spell on Trodain castle.
After 150 hours playing Dragon Quest VIII, I can say that I am quite disappointed. No one is a more sincere fan of the series than I am, but this game never really challenged me or grabbed my imagination. Most of it was a yawn, a lot of running around with no real purpose. This is especially disappointing after reading a review like the one in Play magazine, which praised it so highly. There are a lot of good things about DQ8, but it is far from a 10/10!
Let's start with that works. First and foremost, DQ8 should be known as the game that brought Akira Toriyama's character designs to life. The game serves the graphics. The player's characters, the NPC's, and the monsters are all beautifully cel-shaded, with fabulous attention to detail. Some of the effects are jaw-dropping. Not only the moment-to-moment appearance of the characters is striking but also their movement, which is well-timed and expressive. This is some of the best work of its kind that you will find in a video game. You can tell that it was all about doing justice to Toriyama's designs. In that respect, the game is a masterpiece, and they couldn't have found a better artist to build it around.
DQ8 is also the first truly 3-D game in the series, and in that sense, it is also well-executed, giving the player a true sense of exploration. The towns, dungeons, and overworld all look great. The terrain sometimes looks chunky, especially where the layers of rock and greenery are stacked like pancakes, but overall, it is well done.
Now, for the story. In a game with such great characters, it's natural to expect a good story, but in this regard, DQ8 is a big disappointment. The story is wayward and clumsy, relying on general situations rather than specific relationships to carry interest. Moment to moment, it seems like it could build some momentum, but it never does. The main storyline gets interrupted all the time with weird detours. Plus, in order to explore all of the side quests and such, you just have to ignore what you're told and do your own thing anyway. Play magazine described the game as "non-linear", but I disagree. There are a lot of wild goose chases to go on, but the main plot is as linear as it gets, and there isn't much choice in how to proceed. And as for the emotional involvement: I can hardly stifle the yawn as I type. The hero is literally voiceless. The villain never truly takes shape. The love interest shows up late, and she is the least interesting character I've ever seen in a video game. (Most players will fall for another character in the meantime, anyway.) A shining example of how bad the story is comes at the end, when Angelo returns and talks about seeing "the old gang" again. Yeah, right... good times... do I know you? Or when Empyrea talks about how much of a pleasure it was to meet the party, as if they all hung out together behind the scenes. Most of the characters act like strangers to each other. Akira Toriyama clearly had little or nothing to do with the continuity, because the difference between DQ8 and Dragon Ball Z, for example, is like night and day.
Now, on to battles. The mark of a good RPG is difficulty. DQ8 is tedious but never really difficult. You may get killed once or twice, but it's not as challenging as - you guessed it - Dragon Warrior 1, where the prospect of crossing a bridge was truly terrifying. Multiple monsters do not make the game more fun, and none of the battles require any real strategy. The enemies all seem to use random attacks, even the bosses! Levelling up and getting new equipment comes far too easily, so you never encounter enemies that outclass you. Customizing the characters can be fun, but you still don't really need to strategize. The names for the spells are lame, and the ability to "psyche up" feels like more of a cheat than a feature. The best part of the battles is watching the animation. You can tell where the focus was in this game by the effort they put into the costumes for Jessica, the voluptuous, whip-wielding woman in your party. Make no mistake: equipping her outfits is a serious feature here (and just to convey the depth of my disappointment in DQ8, not even that was very exciting). Jessica may be cute, but no challenge = no fun! This must be what happens when the testers take over development of a game, because all of the emphasis is on the "look and feel" instead of the challenge level.
The voice acting is hit or miss, but the problem there is the bad writing. The cartoony characters come off well (e.g. Yangus, King Trode, Morrie), but the rest are pretty weak, e.g. Medea, Empyrea, Rhapthorne, and many of the minor characters.
Oh, and I found the alchemy pot an exercise in frustration. Push comes to shove, it was just a lot of running around to find ingredients. Between this and the search for mini medals, I felt like a decapitated chicken. This game could not exist without the "Zoom" spell, and that's not a good sign for the overall experience.
In conclusion: I hope they aim higher in future versions. Surely, they can tweak the game play in more innovative and satisfying ways. At 150 hours playing DQ8, I feel like 100 of them were a waste of time. This is an above-average RPG but a disappointing entry in the DQ series.
(www.plasticpals.com) Dragon Quest VIII: The Journey of the Cursed King follows the trail of an evil jester named Dhoulmagus who has cursed the inhabitants of the kingdom of Trodain. The hero is the only person in the castle who manages to resist the evil magic, so the king (who has been transformed into an imp) enlists his help. Together they'll make many friends and some enemies on a grand old quest for king and country. It closely follows series' tradition, but also pushes the series forward with its more modern presentation.
As usual you'll explore towns, talk to characters to learn what to do next, and fight enemies along the way in random encounters. It's all fairly typical role-playing stuff, following a linear story progression without too many opportunities to get lost. While some of the scenarios aren't particularly interesting, there are quite a few memorable ones. One minor gripe is that, because of the size of the world map (which has been built to scale), it can take quite a while to get from point A to B until you get the Zoom spell (and other forms of transportation).
A couple of notable new ideas were introduced that would carry over in Dragon Quest 9. The first is tension, which can be built up during battles to boost a character's abilities. It adds a bit of strategy to the battle system, since it's often a gamble to build up tension over several rounds if an enemy has the ability to neutralize it.
The second is the alchemy pot, which can be used to create new items, but the implementation here is a little janky. Unlike in Dragon Quest 9, alchemy recipes don't always tell you what ingredients are required, or even what the resulting item will be. Even more annoying is the time required to actually alchemize anything, which ranges from 5 to 10 minutes.
When the series moved to the PlayStation with the 7th installment, it kept most of the trappings of the series' traditional appearance and sound. Dragon Quest 8 brings things more into line with modern expectations. For the first time story scenes feature voice acting for every major character, and the score is fully orchestrated. The titular cursed king Trode is particularly well acted, as is your main pal Yangus, who both provide much comic relief throughout the adventure. Most of the characters have English accents which fit the setting and really add to the overall tone of the game.
Additionally, all of the characters are modeled in 3D which allows them to better express themselves during the story scenes. It's a huge departure from the small 2D sprites of the previous games which hardly captured the look of Akira Toriyama's character designs. The game's cinematic moments are done using the capable in-game graphics, which have a hand-drawn anime appearance with ink outlines.
The settings are slightly disappointing, since they can't quite reflect Toriyama's style and are often a bit bland. It is somewhat excusable, given the hardware limitations as well as the sheer number of towns and castles that had to be made. That said, the draw distance is pretty impressive, allowing you to see to the horizon.
Dragon Quest games are never too challenging, but a few of the bosses and optional side quests certainly can be. Finding all 110 mini medals, for instance, requires that you explore the world with a fine-toothed comb. The monster arena can get pretty tough, and the Dragovian Trials are especially difficult. You can easily spend an hour or two just in the game's casino.
It's possible to complete the main story in around 50 hours but it's likely to keep your interest well beyond that. My personal play time was around 75 hours with very little time spent level-grinding. Completing some of the post-game content will even unlock an enhanced ending.
Fans of traditional role-playing games will find it hard to put the controller down, and when it's all said and done the experience leaves you totally satisfied. The PlayStation 2 was certainly no stranger to RPGs, but Dragon Quest 8 manages to rise above them all with its great cast of characters and memorable storyline. This is hands-down the one RPG you simply must play on the PlayStation 2.
