Add in the demo disc of Final Fantasy XII and you've got one of the best packages to come in months. Despite the length the game never gets boring as the story gets more vast and entertaining. There's an extra dungeon that opens up after beating the game, too. There are some who have played it twice as long because they are addicted to the level upping and the side quests like the Monster Team and the Casino. The hero doesn't speak but like Gromit the dog his mannerisms make him a very likable hero. It's very well done and most of the voices fit the characters well. The voice acting is a mix of European accents instead of American ones. All this makes level upping more fun and less risky. Despite being old-school you have plenty of access to spells and items that will allow you to return to a town and heal up or save your game. The enemies all have their little intricacies which makes the battles fun. Level 5, who designed the underrated Dark Cloud games, deliver a beautiful landscape with their patented cel shading. At first, you walk through the land but later you'll get a firecat, a ship, and wings. When you gain experience, you can place the points to strengthen your chosen weapons, your magic, or your courage. There are no long-winded FF-style aeons the battles are quick and easy. You run around waiting for a random battle and then you go at it with weapons, magic, and the like. Jessica is young firebrand of a woman who wants to avenge her brother's death and Angelo is a member of the Templars who is out to avenge the death of the Abbot.
Along the way, they are joined by Jessica Albert and Angelo. As they continue roaming the countryside they witness and hear about more deaths and they eventually learn these deaths are connected to a sinister plot. The game starts with the silent hero, a former bandit, and King Trode and Princess Medea visiting a town where someone named Master Rylus can reverse the curse. The story starts with the jester Dhoulmagus attacking Trodain Castle, stealing the scepter hidden inside and turning the King and the Princess into a troll and a horse, respectfully. This is the best RPG I've played in years and was deserving of all the accolades it received from the press. However, 16 years after the first game came to North America Squenix, with help from Level 5, have produced the definitive old-school Dragon Quest VIII: Journey Of The Cursed King. DQ 7 did come out on the PSX but was considered primitive compared to Square's games. DQ 5-6 were for the SNES but never came to North America. Sadly, I moved on to next-gen consoles and never played 2-4. The original Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior for the NES) was where it all began for me.

The Dragon Quest series was where I got my first taste of Japanese RPGs.
