Putting the Dragon Ball in DragonQuest! YAY!

I used to be a big fan of Dragon Ball, but that waned down, and I remember the last game I saw (except the actual dragon ball games) that had the same artist that did Dragon ball (chrono trigger) and it was a great game.

Now, squarenix does it again, and this time, they inputted even more dragon ball stuff and did it a way that it doesn't get too old and it doesn't disrupt the actual story and fun.
The monsters from the other dragonquests/warriors are back and they are beautiful-er than ever (even the ugly ones), and the gameplay is wonderful.
I remember Dragon warrior 7 for ps1 and it tried its best to stay old-school, and I know that there's no real harm to that, but they emphasized on it too much on nostalgia that they didn't have any improvement. Whether we like it or not, when it comes to new games, we expect both awsome graphics and great story, and this time, Dragonquest 8 delivers both.
It still stays true to what worked for them but gave it MORE!
so if it's possible, i give it 9/10 THUMBS!
