This is the hero of Dragon Quest VIII, for the PS2.This is really what the screens look like in-game. They are beautiful.
I am borrowing this from a co-worker and will probably bring it back before more time is sucked away - this is a loong game, but I do like it.
It's a turn-based RPG, and I didn't think I was going to like turn-based fighting as much because I didn't like The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age. Apparently this is maybe one of the flaws in LOTR: The Third Age, because I did like the turn-based fighting here, although there is a ton of it randomly occurring as you journey through the land.
I also enjoy the story, the 4 characters on your quest, the British voice acting, making cheese and other items in the alchemy pot...
It's all good so far but I need to pack and move... !
Again, this is a very famous game franchise, especially in Japan where there are all kinds of Dragon Quest media, but I had never played it until just a few weeks ago.
The enemies are pretty hilarious, there are cats that just lick their whiskers for a turn once in a while, instead of attacking...there's the puppet master who can perform an invigorating show that actually beefs up your party instead of draining them...
and there is the very famous ... SLIME:
This is an enemy?
But it's so cute! It's a blue Hershey's Kiss! Can't we take it along on the quest?
Nope, we must either attack it, or run away.
These blue slimes are pretty easy to kill ... mwa ha ha!
The metal slimes, who I have seen only once so far, will give much experience if killed, but they usually run away.
