Dragon Quest VIII Boss theme "Defeat the Enemy" [Extended]

The main boss theme of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.
All credit for this music goes to Koichi Sugiyama and the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.

VIII will be the one I use a ton, love that they gave him a Dragovian sword and shield. I hope Square doesn't get stingy with the music, I at least want to hear this song and the VIII battle theme!

I may rotate through them all but 8 and 11 for sure. MY BOYS. I played their games so I'm extra excited to use em in battle in a completely different way. I do want to give the others lots of love too though.

"Evil Jessica Draws Near!" Honestly hated this fight so much since I relied on Jessica for most of my stat boosting and attack spells. It was always: Hero - Balanced Attack and Healing Yangus - All Muscle Jessica - Stat buffs (oomph for DAYS) and attack spells Angelo - Mostly on healing duty with a few attacks here and there. Evil Jessica just throws my entire strategy out the window. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO OOMPH YANGUS FOR MAXIMUM DAMAGE IF I AM FIGHTING MY MAGE!?!?

[@bluesod3933]

I actually completely blasted through Evil Jessica, my strats were Hero - Doing whatever anyone else couldn't do Yangus - Psyche Up, then beat the shit out of things Jessica - Stat boosts if needed, otherwise she'd focus on casting spells Angelo - Almost all healing, he could also fuck someone up if he wanted to I barely rely on Jessica to do spells, I actually give her a whip and let her deal constant damage to everything if buffs are not needed. Marcello, though... Yeah, fuck Marcello. I ABUSED Jessica on him.

[@souldude6344]

Angelo casts oomph at 65 stat points in staffs, but it's a bit pricey. Still worth it though

[@Gamesfan34260]

lol, it is a great game...sadly Square don't carry on their game stories (Like, not even have you use the same character in another game) the closest they went was adding Ragnar from dq4 which was cool but imagine playing all the old characters from the rest of the series! They do put in the effort though by making new characters with likable personalities but I feel that they just use everything as one shots. Everything but the music gets replaced, even then some things go.. (I can't complain mind, the music is always catchy as hell) How do you feel about them bringing old characters into new games? As you may have guessed I wish that'd happen.

***** well, Terry from DQVI is the protagonist in DQ Monsters for the gbc, and Kiefer from DQVII is the protagonist in DQM caravan heart, also there is DQ Dungeons Young Yangus (where you play as a young yangus) for the ps2 (jp only), and the Torneko dungeon series where you play as torneko from DQ4

One of the best role-playing games in the video game history. There're not many RPGs which are better than Dragon Quest VIII. I can only think of Final Fantasy 3 SNES, Chrono Trigger SNES maybe Xenosaga 3: Also sprach Zarathustra....

[@KeyleeTamirian]

+RpgmaniacNo1 I think that Final Fantasy III NES is better than Final Fantasy III SNES... Because Final Fantasy III is more of a fairy tale, while Final Fantasy III SNES is full of stuff that isn't finished before game's release...

[@RpgmaniacNo1]

+Кейли Тамирианская FF 3 for famicom was an important reason, why Square didn't lose their existence.... I love FF3 very much but this game was embry onic, not matured and had a less claimed story. FF VI super famicom (FFIII SNES in USA) isn't only more advanced or a milestone. It's THE reference in the roleplaying game history!! To be honest your opinion is a little superficial in my opinion. FFVI lives with claimed story and character interactions and fullfiled gameplay. These are the most important elements in the role-playing game genre! The interactions and the characters are something special because FFVI doesn't have a real hero who is going to rescue the world. Everyone is important! Square focused his work in giving all the characters a life by showing their fates and combine it with the interactive story, EVEN in battles or flashbacks. So even the feints just like Kefka or Gesthal are implemented in this gameplay system. Simply they LIVE. Example: Maybe you can remember the scene, where you have to fight Ultros with Relm and the others? Relm asked Utros if she could draw him before he tries to kill them. As child she manipulated Ultros with her kind of attitude so much. While the others also interacted in this fight, to fullfil Relm's wish. So at least he let her, to draw him. This kind of interactions you will find anywhere. This is pure creativity , its a complete package! Dont try to mess with a giant, with the best of the best OR COMPARE A LADA WITH MERCEDE BENZ. It's almost the same what you are trying to do ;) Final Fantasy VI Super Famicom is still THE BEST FF game ever created.(worldwide opinion) and one of the best role-playing games in the role-playing game history.

[@KoboldFactotum]

+RpgmaniacNo1 Nostalgia has you by the throat, Xenosaga 3 is a flaming garbage pile.

[@KeyleeTamirian]

+RpgmaniacNo1 Yes, And this creaitivity makes story to loose all it's seriousness. Seriously, Ultros is ruined story of FFVI, because of his too much for laughs attitude. Best Final Fantasy is X. Because this Final Fantasy made me cry the most. Even THINKING about Final Fantasy X story makes me tear up! Final Fantasy VI has one fatal flaw - World of Ruin. It's unfinished. It's full of stuff that have no main story... And Still, Final Fantasy III on NES is BETTER than nonsense that is FFVI. Final Fantasy III on NES was my first Final Fantasy! DON'T RUIN MY FEELINGS YOU DEMON!

[@KeyleeTamirian]

+RpgmaniacNo1 Also, Final Fantasy VI is too much of steampunk, without FAIRYTALENESS. Final Fantasy should be FAIRYTALE, not a steampunk! That's why i dislike FFVI and VII. I prefer FFIX over them.

It's so sad they couldn't keep the original symphonic versions of the various songs in the remake, I'm still loving the hell out of it, but the change in the music, with how they butchered the menus dropped my vote for it from a potential 10 (it still is the same game we had on ps2, but with extra stuff) to an 8.5, it's not a big deal, but it kinda ruined a bit the atmosphere for me.

[@BigGeekEmpire]

Most of the music in the american version isn't even orchestrated so you barely tell the difference. The american 3DS version gets the original japanese score and the japanese version gets the original american score. I like getting to experience both soundtracks. Also it's not a remake. It's a port.

[@Loranys]

Welp, the PAL version's ost were fully orchestrated, don't know if there's some difference between the two versions, but for what I recall every single OST in the 3DS version is different and you can tell the different, quite a lot actually, it's like playing it with gba sounds in comparsion.

Sugiyama probably didn't let Square Enix record with proper equipment cause he felt that would bring down his oh so precious ticket and CD sales if people could hear the soundtrack in game. A stupid reason honestly but not something I'd put past him considering DQ11's initial release. Not to mention Japan didn't get a version of DQ8 with orchestrated music until the 3DS remaster.
