#Dragon quest 9 mini medals series

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. However, the game is overall very enjoyable and it has a very sweet ending that I thought was one of the better endings I have seen in a role playing game. Then there is the music, which is not bad, but it is not varied enough for my tastes. The only complaints I have for the game is that getting money and upgrading your equipment can be a pain as is using the alchemy pot (though that has its pluses too). The fighting is turned based, nothing to complicated to pick up, you do have your special attacks and you can psyche yourself and make your attacks that much more effective.

You sail the seas and soar through the skies, though not in the old standby airship. You even get to see a lovely winter land and a strange land with virtually no color.

And some not so lovely as you will find out in the thieve's paradise of Pickham.

During your adventures you will run across many fiends and many lovely locales. Most of the game you are tracking him in an attempt to break the curse, and along the way you meet two more allies in the form of the very lovely Jessica and Angelo a man who has a special place in his heart for the ladies. Who could have brought about such terror you ask, a strange magician clown that goes by the name Dhoulmagus. They are accompanied by a young man who was a guard at the castle and somehow escaped everyone else's fate of being turned to thorns and a thief they meet along the way named Yangus. They are traveling to find a way to end the curse of themselves and their home, as the castle is now overrun with thorns. The story has a king and his beautiful daughter cursed.he is now turned into a troll like creature and she, while still beautiful, is now a horse. In fact, the characters were designed by the guy who did DragonBall Z and it most certainly shows.

That is what they did here as the game is just stunning to look at, it is like watching a very well done cartoon. This game just proves you do not need to have computer generated film sequences in a game to make it good, instead why not just make the entire game a wonderful visual experience.
