Jessica and Angelo are your other party members, the former being a feisty Black Mage and the latter being a suave Paladin, whom you recruit fairly quickly. It’s brilliant how much the game squeezes out of this in the beginning and it never outstayed its welcome. So, he can Psyche himself up while you heal him to beat bosses in one or two attacks. With just two characters there’s already a gameplay dynamic where your character unlocks healing spells fairly early and Yangus is like a Barbarian/the highest physical damage dealing party member. It’s simple but effective, especially early one when it’s just your character and Yangus. You take a turn to charge up (fittingly, just like a Dragon Ball character) to do more damage for whenever you decide to attack next, do more healing if you use a restorative spell, etc. Speaking of.ĭQVIII is a classic turn based JRPG but doesn’t mean it plays like an NES game. I won’t devote an entire paragraph for each of the other three members of your traveling band (they're your party members) but they are great for various story reasons as well as combat. Still, I was glad I did take a small amount of time out of my adventure to do so because you get even more background and sympathy for the characters.Īlso there’s a pretty hilarious gag throughout most of the game where Yangus (your first party member) is scared whenever King Trode shows up unexpectedly: Princes Medea also has likeability though it’s not revealed until much later and even then it’s optional. And you can tell he’s a good father that truly cares for his daughter above himself multiple times.

He didn’t have to wait outside the town in the wagon with Princess Medea for fear of being persecuted.

Later on in Pickham (a hive of scum and villainy) he’s delighted to finally be able to go to a bar to have a drink and I couldn’t help but be happy for him too. In the beginning, the first town you come across mobs him and chases your party out, calling him a monster. He can sometimes have a somewhat holier-than-thou attitude, but he’s humbled constantly throughout the game due to his hideous appearance and you can’t help but feel sympathy for him. But why should we care for him? Besides the fact that we play as one of his royal guards/retainer, he never assumes the complete subservience of you or your party. Let’s start with the titular Cursed King: King Trode.Ī tragic and likable character, the crux of the game’s story (for at least the first half) is to undo a curse done to him and his daughter, Princess Medea (who’s been turned into a horse).

DQVIII on the other hand opens with burning questions that I wanted answered not just because it was a mystery to me but because of the characters and their performances being full of charisma and energy.

It’s not as simple as that every step of the way but even when the game detoured from my expectations it didn’t go very far. You play as an orphan, you have a mark on your hand, you’re the chosen hero, you set out from your village to see the world and start your adventure, etc. One of my gripes with DQXI was how cliche ridden its story was.

Here’s why I think so and I want to encourage others who bounced off of DQXI to give the series another chance with this entry like I did. Many of you said that I wouldn’t like the game because of its similarities to DQXI, a game I’ve failed to enjoy despite numerous attempts, but I gotta say they’re completely different. And now at the 70 hour mark of my almost finished playthrough, I’m pleased to say Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is a phenomenal JRPG.

I asked here for how I should go about playing the game and settled on the PS2 (emulated) version since it still looks gorgeous in 1080p and I wasn’t too keen on going to a 240p 3DS screen despite a few QoL improvements (turbo battles not really being one of them thanks to PCSX2’s 2x speed). After playing nearly 50 hours of the original PSO2 and while waiting for New Genesis (which I’ve yet to start now in part thanks to DQVIII funnily enough) I was in the mood for a JRPG.
