[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King] I think the protagonist is quite cute, including their reactions.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s also carrying a cute mascot.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

It’s cute even now, although knowing what’s inside changes things a bit.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Katape Hachi

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

You didn’t have to become a mohawk old man, To-po…

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

I feel like the youngest one at that party.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it’s quite a nice design.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It was cute how you were dumbfoundedly watching the brawl at Doni's tavern.

It was cute how you were dumbfoundedly watching the brawl at Doni’s tavern.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it the imperial guard?

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

Moreover, I picked up a person who had collapsed.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I might like the dragon god equipment the most among all the past ones.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Being a half-dragon from the Dragon God tribe and a member of the royal family while serving as a guard in another kingdom is an impressive background, isn’t it?

12: Japan Otaku Reviews

The balance between the simplicity of appearance and heroism is nice, isn’t it?

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>12

The picture in the thread has a gentle face, but when the expression changes, it suddenly looks really cool.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

He gives the impression of being an extremely ordinary young man who was just a soldier.

Also seems to have a big heart.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

Even though they’re so close to royalty, it seems like they are really well-liked in Trodain, which probably means they’re a really good person.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I like that the usefulness of the spear in the game matches well with the background of the soldier.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s interesting to ultimately become a healer.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really like the fact that until the front clear, they are just regular soldiers.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

It’s nice to realize that there were foreshadowing elements laid out at the very beginning when you do a second playthrough.

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not like I’m relying on someone or having them do something for me in some situation or anything.

Perhaps because Kucul is more mature, there is a slight sense of him being a younger brother.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that I was picked up and lovingly raised alongside a princess during my childhood.

Whenever there’s an occasion, they keep referring to themselves as vassals and making distinctions, but I think even Trode looks at them with somewhat of a son-like gaze.

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s pretty unfortunate that my parents passed away soon and I was expelled from the clan, but it doesn’t show at all.

There are things like Trode and Meteora, you know…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

I happened to be picked up quickly by Toroden.

I wonder what would have happened if we ended up in a dangerous place like Palmyra, where no one picked us up.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Maybe I’ve become Yangus’s little brother.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

If picked up by Southern Beaks, Clavius wouldn’t have failed to notice, so I imagine it must have been quite muddy.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Is it an orphan that looks just like my missing brother…?

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

At first glance, I was like, “What?!” That’s King Clavius.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

You can only see a brief depiction before the meteor wedding.

No one among the citizens who had become other thorns is responding with a prickly attitude, even though they have made a great rise to the position of captain of the guards (though there’s also the fact that their achievements are notable).

I suppose I’ve had relatively good relationships with those around me since childhood.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>28

I vaguely remember there was a diary of a minister when the protagonist was selected as a royal guard in Toroden Castle.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seemed like they didn’t quite understand the meaning at the puff-puff shop, but they were reacting in a way that suggested they were enjoying it.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

The color is nice… but is this about 60% Goku?

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I hadn’t thought about it, but if you mention it…

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s cute when she bows politely when leaving Grandma Medi’s place.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>33

I think Meteor and Jessica must have liked those aspects as well.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like the modest feeling of motion when dancing in sync with others.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I only played the PS2 version, but in the ported version, does the bandana come off with super high tension?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>36

North American version only.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although he is referred to as an ordinary soldier, he seems to be quite an elite since he is the commander’s stepson and was outstanding since his training days.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s probably just that they start off at a low level for game balance, but they’re stronger than the average soldier.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Thinking about how my father went that far all alone, he’s definitely strong.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Please port the 3DS version.

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>41

I don’t need any additional elements, I just want to stick with the current system…

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>43

From my experience of playing both the PS2 version and the 3DS version, I don’t think all the additional elements are unnecessary.

The blue treasure chests and symbol encounters are useful for alchemy, and I quite like the past dreams seen when trapped in Purgatory Island as a Meteor faction member.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>44

I meant to say that I wanted a direct port of the remake to the current system, even though my wording was poor.

I was happy that there were costume changes for characters other than the protagonist and Jessica, and I also enjoyed the labyrinth.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

A boy picked up around there becomes close friends with the princess and ends up as a royal guard through nepotism, and well, it should be fine…

A Kind Country

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I want to play the remastered version of 8 in 11’s graphics.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quietly liked the photo quest in the 3DS version.

Looking for rare monsters, you know?

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The addition of Jessica’s end has been a hot topic, but there are also additional depictions for Princess Meteor, right?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>48

It’s nice that they added stories from childhood…

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

The system is at the level of the recent Dragon Quest predecessors.

51: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the remake was the best, with the only slightly dubious addition being the Battle Road.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t think they were called a hero in the story, but they have the Yuki skill and a rather special lineage, so the sense of being a hero is strong in this image.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s not that I particularly dislike additional characters, but the character balance of the four party members from the original version is good.

55: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>53

I mean,

The added Gerda and Molly are too strong.

Well, it’s definitely better to have characters that are weak rather than not added at all.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

A quiet and good-natured young man!

A younger brother who talks a lot and is good at comebacks, very loyal!

A strong-willed and voluptuous woman with a touch of sensuality!

A seemingly flashy player, but surprisingly passionate handsome guy!

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>54

This is a good party including Trode and Meemia.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I was thinking it was because of the hero aura or something that made curses ineffective on you.

The idea that it was simply preventing overwriting due to an even worse curse was an innovative concept.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

In terms of color usage, it looks like the discarded protagonist from 6.

Just by softening your expression, it turns out like this.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Super high tension killer juggling is too strong…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bought the 3DS version on release day, played it thoroughly, and cleared it.

It’s software from 11 years ago.

I think it’s about time to start over.

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

At the very beginning, the boss suddenly curses you, and you’re like ???, right?

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>61

If you look closely, the emblem that pops up when struck is really well done.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

The used 3DS version is still 8,000 yen.

In a sense, if you consider it always to be at the new price, it might be a regular price.

64: Japan Otaku Reviews

When I talk with Izumi and Yume frequently, I feel that Princess Meteora is an incredibly good girl and it makes me feel sorry for her.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

Without the bandana, they are also cute.

66: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I am the cursed child abandoned by my hometown as a result of my parents’ free-spirited love.

I’m glad you were picked up by a good person…

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the Tact commercial, I was like, “Oh, it’s Dolmage-s!” and I thought, “Is that your character…?”

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that in Dragon Quest, the protagonists’ parents usually either die or are exiled from their hometowns.

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Dolmages (Lapson) has been living off this one move! The expression he makes when his signature Thorn Curse is deflected, like “What!? Damn it!” is just irresistible.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Jessica too, but I still prefer the Meteor ending.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

Well, in terms of the story, I prefer the main timeline with Meteor and the parallel timeline with Jessica.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

If the protagonist had not been cursed, the world would have been ruled by Rapson.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>71

I don’t want to be ruled by someone who looks like that lame Gomar from Dragon Ball Daima…

72: Japan Otaku Reviews

I bet it has an amazing shota voice.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was thinking that both Jessica and Meteora could just eat!

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

It’s not like it’s actual law, so that’s fine, right?

In Dragon Quest 5, it’s fine to marry Bianca, Flora, and Deborah and have three children as a hero.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wanted to see the proper version of Rapthorn, not just the newly revived small one or the overweight one that’s full of energy.
