Dragon Quest VIII PC Release

[Eddy]

How about a PC Release of Dragon Quest VIII -- what do you think ?
I Hope Square Enix reads this dicussions too.

I think it's long overdue, but I hope they do a proper US PS2 port, not the mobile version.

I'd say a mobile port is more likely plus the PS2''s graphics are quite dated.

I actually feel it holds up quite well, not just compared to other games from the PS2 era but even some PS3 games. The art direction combined with the use of cel-shading helps a lot. The mobile port's graphics looks like a strict downgrade to me after looking at some screenshots. I think if SE could just polish up the textures and maybe update the animations to 60fps it would be a solid ~$30 release on PC.

If you've used PCSX2 emu with this game ROM, you'll be surprised. 1080p's quite crisp apart from cutscenes and text which doesn't scale up.

We have dragon quest heroes 1 and 2. Doesn't have anything to do with dragon quest but the characters but it's still a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing game which you try out. I'd wait for a sale though because it's 30 pounds for dqh2. It's fun to run around as Jessica and bash monsters.

You can check out my profiles screenshots (filter by dragon quest 8) to see how good pcsx2 can make the game. A pc port would be an instant purchase

Video files (such as ending movies or the starting movies) are horrible quality and the text boxes do look rough. But most of the game is pretty much perfect. Didn't really get much for graphical artifacts, except for one particular section of the game (you have to chase a shadow) Which requires you to put the game into software mode making it slow and ugly but its just one section.

How about a Steam release of every DQ game?

What we need is a remake of Dragon Quest IX and have all the DLC from the start.
