I have never played another game by Square Enix besides the FF series, but after seeing several commercials and awesome ratings I decided to pick it up. The graphics are great and immersive, the sound and music is great, story though a little plain is still gripping, and is just overall one of those solid RPGs that leaves an impression on you and a standard for RPGs to come. This game is deffinatly worth buying if you are remotly interested in RPGs and like a vibrant colorful wolrd with great characters to play in and with. If I had to recommend on game to buy this winter make it Dragon Quest VIII you wont regret spending the 50 bucks you will most likely get your moneys worth and times worth out of this gem of a game.
