Just started playing this. Really enjoying it so far. Never played a Dragon Quest game before.
Any other JRPGs/series which capture the feel of this game, both in terms of the old school mechanics and the sense of adventure? Not terribly experienced with JRPGs outside of Final Fantasy and Etrian Odyssey.
Shit, the nostalgia just hit me hard. DQ8 was my favorite RPG back in the day, and I wish I could play it again. Enjoy the ride, OP. I wish I remembered any good recommendations.

>Lunar 1, 2
> Zelda 1 Nes and Zelda ALttP on Snes.
Dragon Quest exists because of Zelda after all.
>Suikoden 1,2,3,4,5
>Grandia 1, 2
>Rogue Galaxy [made by the same dev as DQ8]

Seeing this and hearing the song just makes me think the game will feel soulless. That song doesn't even fit.

YESSS YOU CAN SEE THE ARMORS!!!!
If you're playing anything other than the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 8, you end up being forced to fuck a horse girl and not the redhead party member.

Horse girl actually has a personality and it makes the most sense to marry her.

But if you're playing the PS2 version you're probably emulating it so it looks and sounds amazing compared to the poorly presented 3DS version.

>it makes the most sense to marry her.
Not really since if you marry redhead tittie monster Jessica you're just repeating what the hero's father did before you. The hero's father let his dick do the thinking for him. As his own son. It's poetry.

You might have a point. But it'd be pretty selfish of the Hero to give the middle finger to both the kingdoms.

Yeah it's way too upbeat for a calm night in a town. DQ8 had night time music in towns iirc.

Yes it did.

It could be worse, he could be playing a 240p version
