yeah I know, I just popped it in last night just to test it out, then 3 hours later I was hooked. I really need to start Grandia first before I get too involved. A really shame that they didn't offer a 480p option on DQ 8, Star Ocean had 480p don't know why they didn't for DQ which came out after it I believe. Just imagine what it would look like in glorious 480p on my HD Panasonic Tau CRT

I started early to both A. Test the waters and B. If things went well get the head start, because I KNOW I wouldn't be able to finish it in the months time.

I have SSOOOOOOO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT!!!!!

I managed to finish PSO in one month so I hope I can handle Grandia.

Though PSO was insanely addictive. Lost sleep because of it. I could play PSO in 5 hour stretches. Doubt I could do that with any other game.

I should be fine if I dedicate 2 hours to Grandia per day. Most likely it'll be 10 PM - midnight.

Wow I just found out that the US version of Dragon Quest 8 is superior to the Japanese version and in a rather huge way. The Japanese version lacks that incredible orchestral soundtrack and wonderful voice acting, really rather baffling how the west got the superior version of a JRPG.

Is there a source on that? That sounds kind of silly, the series has had a big name composer for every game I believe.

Phantasy Star Online????

lol, somehow I had 90 hours on my PSO (GC) game back in the day, all offline too.

Big name composer is not the same thing as orchestral soundtrack. Koichi Sugiyama did the music again (he's DQ's Uematsu), but it was improved in the overseas release.

Additions and changes to the North American version of Dragon Quest VIII included voice acting, new animations, enhanced music and sound effects, additional spells and attacks, and a new menu interface.[

It is really sad that DQ 8 hasn't had a proper rerelease, it had a iOS and Android release rather recently but it is god awful. No voiceacting or orchestral music, abysmally choppy framerate, terrible DRM, a $20 pricetag, and for some unkown stupid reason the game is only able to be played in vertical portrait mode. What a shame because this game would do so well on the Vita or 3DS.

I was just kind of suggesting it seemed silly because I would "assume" the music is a big part of the series and treated as such... so that's definitely really weird.

Then again, I guess there's the whole FFVII midi music on the original PC release. Speaking of that... according to some Steam reviews, the Steam version actually has a reworked translation?

I'm 45 hours into Dragon Quest VIII, and it has stayed consistently good thus far.
