Aww, sweet! I loved DQ 8, I'd buy it again! And you can have Gelda and Morrie as party members too! Although I think Red would've been more awesome, but yes, I'd want to buy this again! It's been probably almost a decade since I played DQ8, after all.

I was hoping VIII would get a release! I just really hope it comes out in the U.S. I fell in love with the franchise with IX and have since played V and VI but I'd really like to play VIII as well. I think VII got a 3DS version as well but it didn't come out in the U.S. And since it doesn't seem like we will be getting X any time soon, I hope this can keep me busy until XI.

Square Enix STOP IT!!! STOP!!!

Stop releasing more Dragon Quest games or Togashi will never finish Hunter x Hunter.



Apart from that, I'm interested. I've only played Dragon Quest IX on the DS. Loved it. I remember seeing this one being advertised in Playstation magazine years ago, but I never saw a copy of it in Australia. So if it comes to the West, I'll pick it up.

ALRIGHT, I love the additions. I hope this one won't have any trouble released overseas.

And, can we expect for an official name for the Hero, now?

Lol, have faith. Akira Toriyama had the same problem. But look now, he can't stop Dragon Ball.

Lovely art style, especially at the time, but good Lord did this become a slog towards the end. At least with the 3DS there won't be any disc spin-up before attack animations.

It is also worth noting that the orchestral score is only a new feature for the Japanese crowd, as we've had that version of the soundtrack all along. The Japanese language voice acting is a genuine addition though.

You're getting exactly what you want.

Well it was certainly released in Australia. You've got to be really unlucky to have always missed out on finding a copy.

I never got around to finishing it the whole way, but I loved Dragon Quest VIII. Really hope we get an English release of this. Portability is always a good thing.

Aww shit. I guess this means no new Hunter x Hunter chapters for 2015.

Oh good, phew! I can't remember if she had that name in the US release or maybe not or whatever, but it's been so long that all I remember is "Red was awesome". I think both Red and Morrie are the logical choices for additional party members.

Is Togashi overly addicted to Dragon Quest or something?

I'm so excited! Dragon Quest VIII was my first DQ game and one of my favorite RPG/Game of all time.

I really hope this comes to the West, I feel it has a helluva better shot than DQVII. Man oh man, I cannot wait.

I would be a lot more excited if I knew it was actually going to release in the US. I'm still sad DQVII's 3DS remake hasn't made it over yet.

It should get released, since most of it's already been translated already.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I immediately thought, "damn it, Togashi's never coming back"[/quote]
