I decided to play it on an emulator this time because I've always wanted to play with a few cheat codes. Nothing too crazy, just 2x skill points so I can mess around with more weapon types. I might add a reduced encounter rate to get through the game a little quicker. My timing couldn't be worse because now I'm really excited to mess around with a few more ps2 games. I'm looking forward to possibly playing Star Ocean 3 or Valkyrie Profile 2 again. But that will have to wait until I finish Ni no Kuni.
I can only think of a few PS1 games that rank higher than DQ8 for me and I do think this ranks as my favourite PS2 RPG next to the first Mana Khemia and perhaps Shadow Hearts Covenant, both of which are also insanely fun games and plain insane depending on who you ask. I'm listening to the soundtrack right now and boy, does this give me DQ8 vibes and makes me miss those games of mine horribly.
