Yes, get the game. Enough of the "ohh my gawd the grafixxx are so good rarrr xoxoxox" posts. It's the STORY that makes a good RPG. DQ8 has it. Played 5/8 of the Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest games and every one has a rock solid story, great music, and all around great script.

I'm also playing dot.hack//Infection and like that too. Magna Carta is also a good game if you like something with a bit more action, and the FF12 demo included with Dragon Quest ain't too bad either

I wasn't too into the story of DQ8; I'm more of a Xenogears type of story guy.

ahhh you like watching the game instead of playing it
So have you played Xenosaga I or II? I can't wait for Xenosaga III, enjoyed both of the previous very much. Only played Xenogears a bit back on the PSX, I should go load up ePSXe & give it a try again

This game is really failing to draw me in...

I didn't like any of the saga's; but Xenogears I love. Amazing story, gameplay...everything

DQ 8 is not for every rpg fan...its more a novelty game in a way.

Just didn't suck me in like some of my other fav. rpg's...

Much better. Thank you for asking

I'll give DQ8 another shot eventually... I just wasn't in the mood apparently... And I love RPG's...

Yeah for sure... A few of my favorite RPG's:

- FF: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 & even Mystic Quest
- Chrono Trigger
- Secret of Mana
- Baldurs Gate
- Fallout 1 & 2

There's more, I just can't think of them now... Come to think of it, I should try and find Fallout for Mac... that game fuckcin' rules...

My friend talked about it, but I never played it. Its a top view perspective game right?

I loved 8, I don't know why people hate it. The junction system was awesome.

In my experience, 8 is a black and white title in that there's no gray area, people either love it or hate it... I just really didn't like it...

yangus - axe , human (thinkin of switchin to scythe)
jess - staff , a lil fistcuff (but i dont use it) sex appeal (the perv in me)
the trunks lookalike - sword an i dunno yet for him any options ?

yo jay

i'm about 80% done with the game but i stopped playing when i picked up WoW a few weeks ago

basically my talent points are spent

hero - boomerang (kinda regretting since his later swords are powerful)
yangus - scythe ( i read on gamefaqs that the scythe steals you these nuts later on that give you points)
jess - staff, and sex appeal (curious too!)
trunks dood - sword

dq is a great old fashioned game, but right now im too absorbed with Wow!
