If DQX is even half of the game DQ8 was, it's a first-day purchase for me

I've never played DQ8 but have played DQ4DS and DQ5DS.


How badly am I missing out?

I haven't played DQ4 or DQ5, but DQ8 is great. If you've got a PS2 I highly recommend you pick it up. It's a really epic adventure. Only real problem with it, imho, is that the beginning is a bit slow and very punishing. It's easy to get turned off from the game in the first quest (I did). But when I picked it up after the first quest about 1½ years later, I could hardly put it down!
