gooieooie 277 Posted January 20, 2017 Figured we should have one of these for VIII, too! Like the VII one, you can post here to let us know how you're progressing through the game. I just started the game myself! In Farebury now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 468 Posted January 20, 2017 The game is still factory sealed and sitting on my coffee table. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepchan 192 Posted January 20, 2017 The game is still factory sealed and sitting on my coffee table. Pretty much my scenario, except mine is sitting on my Gamecube. (I'm trying to figure out if I want to floor the bonus dungeons on DQVII before jumping into DQVIII) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKingOfTheDragovians 302 Posted January 20, 2017 I just got it! I'm so excited to start playing! Also the pouch from GameStop is pretty nice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imutone 161 Posted January 20, 2017 I just got it! I'm so excited to start playing! Also the pouch from GameStop is pretty nice. Europe apparently got a flat plastic keychain. For once, NA got the better pre-order good I'm amazed. Farebury is the first goddamn pun I'm greeted with. Even Yangus made a pun by saying, "This Farebury ain't the smallest of towns, though, eh? Feels like just askin' around could take all year!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 302 Posted January 20, 2017 There's a pun in Farebury? Enlighten me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AustNerevar 443 Posted January 20, 2017 Mine arrived a day early, but I ended up not playing it till today because life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dakhil 107 Posted January 20, 2017 So I got the game a while ago. And I just accepted Valentina's request to find the crystal ball. Time for some grinding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SlimeVagrant 112 Posted January 21, 2017 Just got the crystal ball myself. Can't wait to see the changes in this game. I've kept myself in the dark mostly about the new features. I played through the mobile version of the game about a year ago which had some improvements like being able to see your skill trees and instant alchemy. I dont know what the possible alternate ending(s) are, or what the extra story cutscenes involve or what kind of skills red and morrie use. Without spoiling anything, can you get more than one ending on one save file by refighting the final boss? Or is it based on an earlier descision?

gooieooie 277 Posted January 21, 2017 Fighting Khalamari! He's defeating me with ease, though, so it looks like I'll be grinding up my levels for a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toonadri 26 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) I got the game the 18th and i just got to dhoulmagus ar 22 hours doing a lot of side stuff, i think after beating the game like 10 times over the years, makes your playthougs a bit faster. i know nearly all the triggers and stuff XD Edited January 21, 2017 by Toonadri Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted January 21, 2017 (edited) So I've just entered the Ruined Abbey, and the Metal Slimes DON'T disappear on the field like they do in VII. They run from you, but when they stop, they just stop and stay where they are. So grinding levels is going to be a lot easier!

Twinkie 55 Posted January 21, 2017 I managed to reach Pereguin, and have been grinding and exploring the area. Going to be taking my time with this game, since it has been a long time since I last played this game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
