Let's Play Dragon Quest 8 (Part 15): VA... VA... VOOM!
0In 2006, Square-Enix released Dragon Quest VIII in the west to rave reviews. It is often regarded as the game that really put Dragon Quest on the map outside of Japan (a lot may be attributed to coming with a demo of Final Fantasy XII), and likewise, it is regarded as one of the best and most accessible entry into the series. Initially old school to a fault, the west saw additions to the game like an updated menu system, symphonic music, and most importantly, voice acting. However, the main gameplay stayed the same allowing it to please newbies as well as veterans alike. Personally, it is one of my favs and I have only grown to appreciate it more with time.
Back from vacation and clean shaven. We take our time getting to the next castle to sight-see and find a pond that can cure all curses... well, all curses EXCEPT the one placed on Madea and Trode. Convenient that. After this, we finally make it to Argonia and meet the spoiled, rich, kid trope that this series love ever so much. Yeah, he's our companion for the next hour or so... fun times to be had on the next part.
