71 hours into Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS
I'm literally at the final dungeon or the dungeon right before the finale.
Game is so much fun, I just wish they had a Definitive version of DQ8.
The 3DS version features additional QoL like non-random encounter/monsters on the field, two additional characters, a post game dungeon, and some other additions
But it lacks the orchestral OST that the PS2 version had and the visuals dont look that fleshed out on the 3DS especially on its tiny screen along with some other stuff like censoring costumes and from what I heard some cutscenes are altered.
I have all of the versions of DQ8 (PS2, iOS and 3DS) - but chose to play the 3DS version. I'm likely gonna do the iOS version sometime in the future but I'm also gonna play the PS2 version as well.
Here's hoping when SE is done with DQ3 HD or w/e its called - if they ever get to it, the next port/enhanced version of a DQ game will be for DQ8 cause it badly needs it.
