I've been on a huge binge of the OST (amazing)

amazing game is amazing, the only flaw is the grinding

the party members could have been a bit better I guess

The OST and Yangus are my favorite parts of DQVIII, I love the game.

I pity anyone who invested Yangus's skill points in a non-axe weapon.
Didn't help that you couldn't get one until after you take a boat to another continent.
By that point, his rapid point earning just stops.

eh, I just trusted that whatever someone's "default" weapon was just what I should stick with so I never had that problem

I think I invested a good amount of points to a sword for Angelo, but mostly arrows

But... his default weapon is a club...

That's like half the problem.

I've played every Dragon Quest, here are my thoughts on it

Pros:
Fantastic world map
Fantastic music
Main plot is pretty cool

Cons:
I don't care for the main cast. Yangus and Trode were cool, everyone else not so much.
Didn't care for for the subplots as much as I did other games in the series
Menus added to the US version are not as good as the original version and add load times
Don't care for alchemy. Some of my complaints about this were fixed in DQIX, but over all, I don't like weapon crafting systems
Final boss design is the weakest since DQ1

Overall, there is a lot to like about it (it IS a Dragon Quest after all), but I just don't care for it as much as most of the other DQs

DQ VIII is my fav JRPG, hell yes. It's just perfect, the battles are fun and feel fast paced for the oldschool style, the world is fun, the story while simple is fun, characters are likeable, it's all mighty excellent.

It was better than DQ9 at least.

I didn't even finish 9
