It came!!!! It's HERE!!!

I'm of course referring to Dragon Quest VIII! The next sequel in that long-running Nintendo series that hasn't seen a sequel since PS1. This is also the first Dragon Quest game to retain the original Japanese name. The previous titles were known as Dragon Warrior in America. Copper swords, iron axes, blue slimes, they're all here!

A demo of FF XII is included if anyone cares. I certainly don't.

Its not a Nintendo series... Unless you were referring to it originally being a NES/SNES series...

Anyway, I bought it yesterday. I got a giftcard to Best Buy early for my birthday and went shopping. I saw DQVIII and thought, "Why not?" I didn't really like VII (so I wasn't too excited about this one), but I really like it so far. Although, I haven't played too terribly much (I just went through the tower in Alexandria).

So...

Congratulations, Neo! Hope it brings a megaton of hours of fun!

This game is wicked, and I hated the older DQ games. And the FFXII demo is sweet, already played the thing at Square's party dealy, but it's nice to have my own copy now.

Yes I meant that it was originally on the 8-bit Nintendo. I fell in love with those games in the 80's. The suite me perfectly.

I love DQVIII so far, but system where by you can use a slew of weapons is awesome. The hero and others aren't restricted to one weapon and each weapon type gives you advantages and disadvantages. One thing is for sure, I am loving the transition so far... and the cel shading adds a nice touch to Toriyama's animation.

I'm just past Maiella Abbey..... wheres everyone else at?

[Neo]

I'm right around the abbey, just met the 4th member of the team.
