Some months ago I was thinking that they don't make such good 'ol classic Role Playing Games like Final Fantasy 1-7, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire and Dragon Quest (Older Japanese Versions) anymore, But I was wrong, Dragon Quest VIII is the game that proves that Square Enix can still create masterpieces! The story is great but there's something that's missing, and that's Love (There's a lot of love in Final Fantasy games and that what makes FF to such a great game) , but still Dragon Quest VIII is fun to play, it will take you a lot of time to complete the game, because of all the side quests and stuff, you won't get tired of it after playing 4 or more hours, (I can play it all day! ;) , the music is just fantastic, (this is the first time I heard such a great soundtrack , since Final Fantasy 9!) Voice casting is also O.K.! Graphics: The graphics are great, the animations are smooth, and the whole game looks like an anime! Story: The story is as simple as it can be, but still are really great!! As I said before this is the best Role Playing Game for the PS2! This is a must have for PS2, this is the game and it is not worth 70 bucks! It's worth more that that! Buy the game and you won't regret this! P.S. Some people say that the random battles in Dragon Quest VIII are really annoying, but I don’t agree with them, I think it's really fun and when you are at high level it won't be difficult!
