Dragon Quest 8

Anyone a fan of the Dragon Quest/Warrior series? I think they did a good job on DQ8, I'm not that far into the game but I'm enjoying it so far. The weapon skill system adds some customizability to your characters and this time the world is in full 3D.

The only reason I was even remotely interested in Dragon Quest 8 was because they said Final Fantasy XII would include a demo for it.

Oh yeah, the Final Fantasy XII demo was superb, but it was kinda short. Seems like they are going for FFXI-style combat this time.

Dragon Quest characters and artwork are pretty cool. From the DragonBall creator, and ChronoTrigger SNES game.

I've always been a fan of the classic DQ style (random encounters, slow leveling), ever since Dragon Warrior 1 on the NES. You can still "feel" the old style battle systems and character leveling systems in DQ8.

I didn't get a chance to play DQ8 yet; how big is the world compared to a game the size of GTA:SA?

While I haven't played the latest GTA, I would think that the DQ8 world is larger. It really feels like you are exploring a huge world, not just going from point A to point B like in other RPG's.

More So like Morrowind ?

Asking cause I love Morrowind havent ever played DQ

It is very linear though, unlike Morrowind. There are certain things you *have* to do in order to advance the story. It's just that there is a huge world to explore, and you can "peek" ahead at other places.
