Do you like Final Fantasy?
Do you like MMOs?
Do you like old school RPG mechanics(DnD numbers, rather than sword of ragnaros dealing 99,999)?
Do you enjoy the art style of DBZ?
Do you like games like zelda where most of the time you explore a vast 3d world with a map. But no actual radar(like FF)?
Then give Dragon Quest 8 a spin. I'm currently about 23 hours into it, and in love. Wanted to bust out my old Dragon Warrior 1 and 3 for old times sake before it came out. But the old NES just won't start up anymore hehe.
Also for those curious, DQ8 sold 3 million copies in Japan in its' first week. That surpasses most Jap/US Final Fantasy first week sales combined.
And for those who may already have the game. But are confused as all hell about Alchemy. Here you go (MAJOR SPOILAGE BELOW):
