Dragon quest viii pc download






















Fairy Tale : When compared to other entries in the series, this one is the most fairy tale-eque. Fighter, Mage, Thief : The Luminary, Jade and Sir Hendrik are physically powerful warriors; Serena, Veronica and Raab fulfill the role of squishy spellcasters; and, finally, Erik is the fragile but swift thief. Five-Second Foreshadowing : One guard at Heliodor Castle almost calls the hero "Darkspawn" before stopping himself, moments before King Carnelian orders you arrested in the next room.

When you confront the monster blocking the path to Mount Huji, the voice acting gives the game away before the kids lose control of the monster costume. All the real monsters that are voiced are given suitably demonic-sounding voices; this one sounds like a child trying to do a scary voice — which is exactly what's going on.

Flash Sideways : After the Hero successfully goes back in time to save Veronica, his companions and some other people in Erdrea have vague recollections of memories from the previous timeline despite being unaware that it occurred. Floating Continent : Yggdrasil rests on top of one There is also the Battleground and Havens Above, though the latter gets almost completely decimated by Mordegon.

Free Sample Plot Coupon : When the party learns that they need to collect the six Orbs to reach Yggdrasil, two of them are already in their possession. Foreshadowing : Erik's accent is fairly odd. Someone with a keen ear can figure out that it's vaguely Scandinavian sounding.

When you finally reach Sniflheim, the characters have Scandinavian sounding accents. Sylvando seems to know a lot about knighthood to tell Faris off, and hides behind Erik when he spots Don Rodrigo's servant when travelling through the sea gates of Puerto Valor. When you start the post-game proper and go out on the world map, the music on the overworld changes to the overworld from Dragon Quest III.

This ends up making sense after the final scene of the game when it turns out Erdrea is actually the world from DQIII ', but in the past. Just before the end of Act I, Serena and Veronica have a late night chat about their nature as twins. Serena wonders if, since the leaves representing their lives bloomed on Yggdrasil at the same time, they will fall die at the same time too.

Veronica replies that she doesn't know the answer, but she hopes so. That's heartwarming After learning that the Luminary's birth-mother sacrificed herself to save him, Serena notes that she and Veronica should learn from her example. Veronica clearly had the same thought.

When Rab and the Luminary do a traditional ritual to guide spirits of their kingdom's dead back to the World Tree, the scene lingers on a lone spirit butterfly implied to be the Luminary's birth-mother. Only showing her leaving for the tree further implies the father's soul is trapped elsewhere.

In flashbacks showing the previous Luminary and his companions, Morcant can be seen carrying a staff exactly like the one Mordegon carried prior to taking the Sword of Light. Gameplay and Story Integration : Several cutscenes in the game will take account if the Luminary is equipped with a one-handed sword or a two-handed sword, and will subtly change.

Storyline-wise, Serena and Veronica are both the reincarnation of Serenica - thus her powers are split between two people. In gameplay, this is reflected both in their stat gains and their skill trees. They are almost too specialised - as Veronica can mostly cast offensive spells and debuff with whips , while Serena can only really heal and support and sometimes smack with spears.

Their talent trees are both evenly spread out with very few hidden panels. Serena stops gaining skill points around the time you hit the end of Act 1. What's more, when Veronica makes a Heroic Sacrifice , Serena becomes Purposely Overpowered , gaining a boatload of overpowered skills and gains skill points by the dozens upon leveling up.

And when you go to the post-game scenario, both Serena and Veronica gain extensions of their regular categories like everyone else. Traditionally, whips in this series have been used mostly by female characters. He is also a circus performer, and he mentioned that he'd tamed his share of lions while travelling with the circus.

At the very beginning of the post-game scenario, the Luminary goes back in time to the point before Veronica died. You essentially jump into a save state - which means that the rest of the party members are as strong as they were at that point in the game - and will still have their equipment and not be able to access their hidden skills.

When The Hero loses the power of the Luminary, that part of his skill tree is removed until he regains the power. The same applies at the very beginning of the game before you get those powers.

When Erik loses their memory, their entire skill tree is empty. When Vince challenges you for the top prize at the end of the Octagonia tournament, you'll realize all his attacks will not hit you.

This shows he's a pretty lousy fighter without the energy from the other fighters to dope him up and he knows it.

Character traits inform how resistant they are to Puff-Puff-type abilities. The Gloomnivore feeds off your misery , so if it wipes your party in battle, you'll wake up in a nearby Inn instead of being killed. When Serena saves the party from the Auroral Serpent, every ability shown in that scene exists in gameplay. The serpent paralyzes the party with the same breath attack it was using throughout the battle, Serena uses her Doleful Dirge ability despite not being able to learn it at that point to weaken her target, finishes off the serpent with a Kaswhoosh spell, then uses the Tingle spell to cure everyone's paralysis.

When the party goes to the circus for the first time, they see Sylvando doing two things: Juggling daggers, and breathing fire. Knives are one of three weapons he can use, and he joins the party with Hot Lick already at his disposal.

When Erik joins forces with the Luminary at the start, one of his starting weapons is a soldier's sword; it's the very same sword he stole from the guard in the dungeons. Gameplay and Story Segregation : A monster can notice you on the world map and crash right into you to start a fight but still be 'caught by surprise' for the first round. The inverse is true as well - the party can be caught by surprise despite hitting the enemy with a preemptive strike.

You're initially prevented from Zooming back to Heliodor prior to getting Sylvando's ship and you can't go back through the Door of Departure, but that's the extent of how your mobility is limited. Zigzagged in that as you play the game Heliodor is smart enough to block off certain spots that could be of use to the player like Angri-La. But even then , once you have the ship and can dock it at the Emerald Coast, it gets to such an extent that, despite being the most wanted man in the world , you and your merry band can just walk back into Heliodor, though the front gate , and the guards will barely bat an eyelash and aren't competent enough to realize you're the man they're looking for.

If you activate party chat during this time, your party will say that this is a stupid idea, but at no point are you in danger of capture. The only thing your party will stop you from doing is walking into Heliodor Castle, as that's just too brazen. Very early on in the game, after escaping from the dungeon you're taken in by a kindly nun who doesn't know you are the people the guards are looking for. Saving in the Dragon Quest series always takes the form of making a confession to the church so the priest or nun will write it down.

If not for Gameplay and Story Segregation, by saving with her, she would know you are the fugitives they're looking for because you just told her everything that happened. At one point in the first act, Serena and Veronica have a discussion about the possibility that their lives are connected so that the two of them will die at the same time.

This is despite the fact that it's fairly possible for one of them to have been killed at some point during the adventure, and had to be brought back to life. When The Hero loses the power of the Luminary , the skill tree removes those skills and the mark on his hand goes away in a nice bit of Gameplay and Story Integration. However, he can still somehow learn Erdwin's master Luminary spell.

However, it is hinted later that his powers weren't completely diminished and were staying dormant until the right time. The game will make your preemptive strike scale-able to the enemy so that you do not take out weaker enemies with one strike. At the end of the game, if one of the player's wishes is to live with one of the characters, Mia will appear in the photo Its basically a retro game with a few updated tweaks here and there. Get It Over With : When Krystalinda is defeated and her last ruse of posing as Queen Frysabel is exposed, she tells the heroes to finish her, as she used up all her power and can't fight back.

Glass Cannon : It is possible to hinder party member's defenses with the Draconian option to eliminate the ability to wear armor, until you get a chance to subvert this with Defense Seeds, but offense is unaffected. With enough seeds, this trope is averted, though that's an exercise in RNG grinding from hell. Glowing Eyes : Later in the game, enemies gain vicious and malicious variants which are significantly stronger.

These enemies can be identified by their glowing red or green eyes, respectively. Good All Along : The merpeople of Nautica are quite friendly, kind, caring and helpful despite rumors and gossip of merfolk being evil and scary. Afterwards, he begs the hero to aid him, as he actually has no knightly skills. Following this, many NPCs you speak to talk of how Faris "bravely volunteered" to undertake such a mission. Guide Dang It! Even at maximum level, he's extremely difficult to defeat in this state.

Removing the shroud requires the player to Use the Super Sword of Light from their inventory. This is a Guide Dang It! First, unlike every other piece of equipment that can be used this way, the Super Sword of Light does not say that it can be used as an item during battle. Second, the fight against Jasper at the start of the post-game has him in a similar shroud of shadows, but his is dispelled simply by attacking him with the Sword of Darkness.

And third, the player probably possesses the Supreme Sword of Light by the time they fight Calasmos, which, despite being otherwise superior to the Super Sword of Light, cannot be used to dispel Calasmos' shroud. You'll most likely have to die several times before figuring this out, even with the hint from a particular Watcher letting you know that this is possible and that the Sword of Light is the key. The only hint you have for this is in the large, puzzle-filled Royal Library.

To get the Circle of Serendipity an accessory that makes rare monsters more likely to appear in Act 2, you have to look at a chalk board at the academy that marks the location of a hidden mini-medal. The treasure itself isn't in a breakable object, chest, or bookshelf so it's not marked by the game's hint systems as a treasure, and the spot where it needs to be picked up is very specific.

This is largely inconsequential as the post-game offers you the ability to farm mini-medals through some means but this is one of the more notable cases of obscure treasure in the game. The game is very vague about the strength of status buffs and debuffs, and how likely they are to stick on enemies.

Expect phrases like "slight increase," "substantially reduce" and "sometimes. Justified; this is because his ex-partner Derk was bribing them. Gemma just cheerleads from the sidelines, but Sandy takes part in battle as an uncontrollable ally. Every member of the party initially joins as a uncontrollable guest character before becoming a full member.

The length of time they stay this way varies; Veronica is a guest the longest a long overland segment, a dungeon, and the subsequent boss fight , and Jade the shortest a brief overland section bookended by two cutscenes. Vince, your partner in the Octagonia tournament who then later shows up again to help you fight against the revived Arachtagon in Act 3 , acts as a damage sponge, since as an uncontrollable NPC, he can't be killed.

In the Ruins of Dundrasil where you relive memories of the day the kingdom fell, you fight alongside your father King Irwin. Healijah the Healslime assists Erik in his escape from a horde of monsters in his story. Headless Horseman : A monster known as a "Headless Honcho" is fought near the beginning of the second act.

Notably, its shield has a face on it that talks on behalf of the headless body. Various weaker variants of this monster appear as low level Mooks throughout the rest of the game, not all of which have horses. Heroic Mime : The main character is very much one, though not much is made about it during the game.

It is lampshaded however in the short character bios that appear in the loading screens. Cole, a young boy who idolizes the main character, is said to have attempted the strong silent type act and managed an impressive three days before he had to stop. Also, if you use Party Talk with Veronica, she'll sometimes comment "You want to talk? That's not like you. The hero travels back in time to prevent this from happening in the post-game scenario.

Miko also offers herself up to Tatsunaga in place of any other Hotto villagers. Hijacked Destiny : The hero briefly has their power as the Luminary stolen from them later in the game. In turn, that branch of their skill tree ends up locked off until they regain their power.

Holding Hands : In the Switch version, if the player decides to have Jade live with the Luminary, she asks for this. She'll do it again after they spar, admitting that when he was a baby, she used to be afraid of breaking them because of how fragile his hands looked. With some level grinding, it is beatable and there is a different cutscene for if you do beat it.

It will still be there as a Degraded Boss regardless of if you kill it or not when you return later in the game. The fight with Jasper in Yggdrasil. He is invulnerable to all of your attacks due to a magic barrier and is also fairly powerful.

You must lose this fight and doing so kicks off the second act of the game. In the post-game, you come back in time to shortly before this fight, and because you wield the Sword of Shadows, you are able to win this fight, officially switching the timeline to something different. Identical Grandson : The Kais of Lonalulu.

What makes this unusual is that Kai the Younger is the son of the adopted daughter of Kai the Elder, and as such isn't related to him at all, and yet still resembles his grandfather sufficiently that his mermaid lover Michelle mistakes the grandson for the grandfather at first glance. Make a second Sword of Light even though you have the original in the new timeline.

Yes, Erdrick's Sword. Informed Equipment : Played straight when it comes to most armors. It is averted with weapons which always appear on your character with unique models and with certain combinations of armor changing the wearer's full appearance.

In Spite of a Nail : Despite majorly changing the world in the postgame, many events still happen despite their cause in the original timeline no longer existing, with varying justifications. Interface Spoiler : In the weapon list, there is a category for axes, which none of the main cast can equip nor is even available for a good while.

There is also the trophy "Knight Exemplar", which is rewarded for completing the ability panels of a character It all points to a Secret Character that joins your party at a later date. It's Hendrik. Late into the game, after gathering the rest of your party members again , does it seem odd that the equipment status page still displays what Veronica can equip despite being dead? Turns out much later, in the post-game, you go back in time where Veronica is alive and well.

Doesn't it also seem weird that Serena and Veronica don't have any obviously hidden panels, like Erik and Sylvando do? Sorting the Bestiary alphabetically before the Disc-One Final Dungeon shows that there are pages and pages of?????

Hidden Trophies in the PS4 version are all story-related. When you go to confront the villain at Yggdrasil, there are still very many hidden trophies, so either the game has a huge Playable Epilogue , or that final battle is a lot less final than you think.

It is the latter case. Interspecies Romance : Deconstructed in a very sad way with Kai and Michelle. Since merpeople live to be over years old, Michelle's old lover Kai whom she saved died long ago and Michelle kept waiting for him, completely unaware of his passing. Both died after living the rest of their lives in isolation and depression.

A book the player can read records that the ancient hero Drustan himself had a romance with a mermaid, but refused to marry her because he was unable to defeat her father in battle despite her father blessing the marriage anyway when the fight ended in a draw, since defeating him were the original terms Drustan decided he was bound by his word as a knight.

The mermaid Queen Marina notes that humans and mermaids have a long history of falling in love with each other and the relationships usually ending badly. In-Universe Game Clock : There is a day and night cycle in the game; depending on time of day, different monsters will appear on the field. Also, in town, certain events and NPCs may only be available depending on what time of day it is.

Involuntary Dance : In Act 3, the young adults of Phnom Nonh are forced to dance day-and-night as a result of a curse from the mural. It Always Rains at Funerals : It starts raining after the party discovers that Veronica performed a Heroic Sacrifice and her body fades away. The rain continues throughout the funeral, only stopping after Serena resolves to carry on the fight without her.

Item Crafting : One of the things you can do while camping is use the "Fun-Size Forge" to create new weapons, armor, and accessories, or improve store-bought or treasure equipment.

In the Switch version, you can use it anywhere , making it a breeze to make things on the go. Karma Houdini : The hero is encouraged more than once to forgive his enemies and not hold revenge in his heart.

This leads to a few fairly morally ambiguous characters getting off pretty lightly. Vince 's motivation is sympathetic, and true, he sees the error of his ways, but joining forces with an evil monster and feeding his fellow fighters to it for the means to continue his Fake Ultimate Hero act is pretty damn evil.

He gets off scot-free for this and the truth never even comes out despite suspecting he wasn't fighting as well as he usually would It's also indicated later that the monster had manipulated his mind to some degree with magic, though Vince never tries to excuse his actions with such a reason.

Krystalinda at least owns up to her villainy in the end and surrenders herself to Queen Frysabel's judgement; it turns out the queen had grown to like her enough to give her a royal pardon. To her credit, you'll be glad things played out this way in the post-game, where Krystalinda becomes a very useful NPC.

It's also noted that it's easier to forgive her because no one died from her actions, indeed most didn't even recall they had been frozen and had to be told about it. Kick the Dog : Jasper burns down the hero's hometown and attempts to execute its inhabitants.

Thankfully, Hendrik steps in to prevent the latter. Laser-Guided Amnesia : Characters who are turned into monsters or possessed by monsters typically suffer this concerning their time as monsters once they are turned back, remembering little or nothing of what happened.

Albeit their behavior may still be effected by what happened when they were monsters one character retaining the winking habit she got as a succubat , and when possessed as in King Carnelian's case they may remember they were possessed even though they remember little of what they did while possessed. Further, when they are monsters they may or may not remember they were previously human. Notably this doesn't happen with Jade after she is freed from Boogie's control.

After briefly not being sure what happened, she quickly regains her senses and states she remembers everything, before proceeding to slaughter Boogie in vengeance. That she was so different may come down to how she made the power granted to her as a monster her own, in a sense possessing it rather than it possessing her or indeed, how the post game implies the power was her own to begin with and Booga simply awakened it.
