[edit] quick question
the skeleton enemies - are they in any other DQ game than the first and the eigth? awesome inclusion of the shadow skeleton enemy, too.-Nod 03:11, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Yeah they appear in other games, while I can't name them on the top of my head, eight and one are not the only cameos for them . --Link25 21:41, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Classic Skeleton sprites also appear in DQ IV. Whatocean 11:03, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Demo Versions
Do all the demo versions have a runtime of six hours (2x areas with 3 hour game limit) like the pal version? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Atirage (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Moving the chracters?
Most of the page is made of up of the chracters in the game. While I am happy that there has been so much progress in this department, it's pretty much the only thing that has ben worked on. I think we should move the chracters to their own page and work on more general information on the game itself.--Link25 08:10, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, i just did this NapoleonicStudent 06:26, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clean Up
Okay, I know everyone did a lot of work this article. But it seems like we have to much information so we need to cut off what is not needed. So any suggestion in order to get that mark off the article?--Link25 09:17, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The Lord High Priest And Abbot Francisco
This page is wrong about how LHP and Francisco died. LHP was murderd by Marchello while Francisco died a matyred death when thinking that the godess would protect him used his own body to shield Trode to save him from being gored only to gored himself.
I have no argument about that. If the change is needed then go ahead. I beleive that face must be altered. --Link25 10:53, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't write very often so not only am I prone to spell words incorectly but I'm also lowsy at writing things such as reviews and reports. But if anyone wants me to, I can note the mistakes, correct them and then someone could change the review using those notes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.184.58.66 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Marta
"It is never explained why she was the holder of the bloodline and not her biological son." I think that sentence should be removed. It's like saying why Jessica isn't an heir when she and Alistair are siblings. Leopold even says, "I smell Sage's blood, but he is not the one." when the group is cornered by wolves.
It's never explained why Alistair is heir and Jessica isn't either. It just may be arbitrary. The last person in the legacy to retain the chromosomes of a sage??? Nah, I don't want to go into heredity and genealogy. It gets confusing.

[edit] Monster Arena
Surely a bit more on the Monster Arena is required, or at least a character biography for Morrie. Has anyone else noticed that Morrie is a reference to Mario? For instance, not only does he speak with an Italian accent, he is referred to by a bartender at the arena as Super Morrie-O. Is that just too pointless to include? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Surlysearle (talk • contribs) .
LOL, that's genius! I think I might get to a section on the Monster Arena.

[edit] I did a COMPLETE revision of the characters
This is what I did:
1) I moved all the character info to a new page, [1].
2) I left short character info on the main page for only those characters who are introduced at the beginning of the game.
I did this because:
a) Having the complete character bios on the Dragon Quest VIII wikipedia page essentially SPOILS every major surprise of the game.
b) It cleans up and shortens the article.

[edit] releases

[edit] Title
Shouldn't this article be at Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King since that is the correct title? TJ Spyke 23:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- It could be. -- ReyBrujo 23:25, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- I mean, there are articles like Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals, but most times you would want the article in the most common name. In example, people are more likely to type Dragon Quest VIII than the full title. -- ReyBrujo 23:31, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
- If the page was moved, "Dragon Quest VIII" would automatically redirect to the correct page. Is there any objection to moving it? TJ Spyke 23:34, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spoilers in the character page
Hey guys. I don't know about you, but I hate spoilers. And that "List of DQ VIII characters" article is very cool and provides insight to all our favorite characters, but I think the details of the marriage at the end of the game need to go.
I know, it's part of the Hero and Medea's character histories. But there are quite a few links to this spoiler-filled page, mostly made by me. I'd relish in the fact that a person who'd want to discover more about the game would learn through the character bios. But I don't want any newbies to be spoiled about the game's ending.
I propose a separate area for the details of epilogue. We don't have to abolish the info completely, but we should take it out of the character bios where people can be spoiled. I'll do the work. Just tell me what you think. I'll wait about 10 days.
-- Whatocean 10:14, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
Eh, you know what? Never mind. Every other video game character list spoils anyway.
