gooieooie 277 Posted January 20, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Bururian 565 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The game is still factory sealed and sitting on my coffee table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stepchan 192 Posted January 20, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
tribalether 16 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Doing a bit of grinding outside of town before I head into the waterfall cave. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 I just got it! I'm so excited to start playing! Also the pouch from GameStop is pretty nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Imutone 167 Posted January 20, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 There's a pun in Farebury? Enlighten me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AustNerevar 765 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Mine arrived a day early, but I ended up not playing it till today because life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dakhil 321 Posted January 20, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
SlimeVagrant 143 Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
NecroBanana 24 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Mine just got shipped by Amazon. Lol Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sword_of_Dusk 380 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Grinding around Farebury for now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Toonadri 26 Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
gooieooie 277 Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share 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!

Plattym3 2,415 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Gonna grind up a bit. Surprised to see leveling up heals you now.That's been nice. I did the first hour just walking around battling to level 6 and never needed an Inn! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinkie 234 Posted January 21, 2017 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Plattym3 2,415 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Stopped at Alexandria today and saved 3:30 into it. Back to work on my killer 4000 word paper. Halfway through. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope it turns out to be a goo-pendous paper. Anyway, I'm at Alexandria, about to go to the Tower of Alexandria, clocking in at 2:48. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheKingOfTheDragovians 305 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just got Angelo, clocking in at ~7:00 hours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Dog of Zahan 213 Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 As of last night, I've put in about 5 1/2 hours, and just stayed the night at Port Prospect after getting the Phtography challenges from Cameron. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
