20 New Dragon Quest VIII Screens

PS2 News | Taken from the European version.

Square Enix have provided us with 21 screenshots from the European version of the upcoming RPG: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King. The series has sold over 40 million units worldwide, and this particular title has sold over 3 million units in Japan alone.

The game has been updated for its European debut including voice-overs recorded by a British cast, a full-orchestral soundtrack, a completely renovated menu system, new battle abilities, and improved animations. Dragon Quest aficionados who have been following this instalment of the series from it’s birth to it’s conception will be able to make out the differences between these PAL screenshots compared to Japan/American images.

Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King is due out early April across PAL regions.

These features are all in the USA version of the game. Correct me if I am wrong, even more additions would be great. The voiceovers by British cast, orchestral soundtrack, renovated menu system etc are all in my version. By the way, game of the year from me, best RPG I have played in years and I am 95hours in, still loving it and STILL heaps to go. Amazing game.

I can guarentee the USA version DOES have changes like that for all characters when psyching up to 100. I have only had this happen in some boss fights much later in the game (about Level 32).

Im sure they are the same game, can someone clarify?

Well, since the PAL version isn't out, we can't.

That information was taken from an official press release, clearly indicating that the PAL versions would have said upgrades. It isn't specified whether it is upgraded further from the US release, but the press release was issued 3 months after the US release.

So I guess we won't know until it comes out in PAL land/s.
