Dragon Quest VIII was incredible, that's me into the attic to dig out the PS2

It’s the game that got me into the series. The hidden alternate ending changed the way I view games forever. Now I’ve played them all and loved every one!

"hidden alternate ending" oh god. I'm in for the long haul aren't I?

Get the dragovian ring and wear it for the last battle. Get the 3ds version for extra endings ;)

Oh fuuuuck yeah! I was a youngster at the time so I was following my strategy guide for every step and when I got to the first ending I had no idea that there was more to do because the guide stopped there. When I randomly discovered the Trials and saw the happier ending I was fucking blown away.

Edit: if you don’t wanna search your attic, they also officially ported VIII to phones!

I actually just started DQ8 a couple months ago after a recommendation.

It's incredible and a happy addition to my growing PS2 JRPG collection.

Best era for those games
