Worth the time and money

User Rating: 9.4 | Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi PS2
Gameplay:10/10 It's simple, but it never gets boring. Every single battles requires thought

Graphics:10/10 Everything from the character design to the grass looks great.

Sound: 10/10 There aren't that many songs, but they are all great. The sounds of sword slashes and whip crackles are well done.

Value: 10/10 It will take you 70-100 hours to beat this game. Enough said.

Tilt: 8/10 The overall story is kinda weak and not very cohesive. However, each individual quest is interesting and humorous.

I would call it must buy for lovers of older RPGs like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. I definitely suggest that newer RPGers to give it a shot.
