Blast from the Past

Besides the two new games from Arren san, I've also been playing an old game. It's one of my all time favorite RPGs.

Dragon Quest VIII


This gem was released back in 2004. This is seriously my favorite Dragon Quest game. It's made by Level 5 and Square Enix along with the wonderful art of Akira Toriyama (he created Dragon Ball Z) This game is absolutely beautiful. The cell shading is clear and colorful. There are many unique characters that are likeable. The world is vast...it's just so easy to get lost in this game. It has a ton of gameplay too---one time I've played up to 50+ hours. The boss battles are challenging, the dungeons are endless, and it's just an overall badass game. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves RPGs :)
