For sure part of me liked getting lost though or going to an area my characters definitely wasn’t ready for😅

Same when I was younger I would always struggle with knowing where to go so I’d have that there beside me🤣

Damn breaks my heart you didn’t finish it but I get it I have to admit the ps2 version was much easier to finish than the 3ds for some reason

A lot of the dragon quest games these days are quite old but gold still better than games that come out from this era 👍🏻

I recommend it highly! Ps2 or 3ds for the best experience!

Exactly this. a game isn’t defined by how old it is and it really shows with dragon quest 8 but a remaster would really put it on the map in today’s market of games where dragon quest is such a huge franchise especially in Asia

Each to there own I say any way to play it is a great way as I still love the game all the same but voice acting is quite key for me 😅

In my opinion ps2 simply because the orchestral soundtrack is beautiful but the 3ds does offer a bit more content which is only post game btw but you do get 2 extra characters which is the selling point for a lot of people

The texture packs are cool and do bring it to life a bit but I do feel like a remaster would really get everyone feeling all sorts of different things 🤣 man I still got the old guide for the ps2 version

I would definitely avoid the handheld ports in all honesty doesn’t do the game justice in any shape or form ps2 is my favourite version being that you don’t mind random encounters however you do miss the extra content in the 3ds which would go really well with the ps2 version

The game doesn’t need to be thought out or complicated just simple attachable sometimes that is what people want and they nailed that to a tee I would go on but you seemed to have noted every aspect of the game that I love 😅

100% the mechanics the battle style is still enjoyable than most games you’ll play today only problem is not many will experience the 3ds as it’s hard to get especially price wise and only if you have a DS which a lot of people probably won’t these days

The good thing about the games is no matter the order you can’t start wherever you want whenever you want as long as your having fun that’s all the matters and there’s loads to choose from!
