thats a shame. I wonder why so many games dont get PAL releases. I forgot what the differences between here and PAL games. Isnt it that Pal has lower res but is faster? Meh. I think you guys might get this one

It\'s actually the other way round, PAL is higher res but slower.

i really dont like the way the main char dress. graphics are nice imo. easier to penetrate a fantasy world when the graphic are cartoonish over trying-to-look-real.

this shot dont like right....the lighting on him is too bright IMO>..

Looks good. Granted, not the "best" on the PS2...but deffinetly not the worse.

IMO, all the shots, the character(s) look out of place. Less so in certain areas then others. Still, not a bad looking game. Maybe one day, I would play it and finally play a game that is a part of the Dragon Quest series. Maybe.

it\'s very weird that he seem to have a sorce of light right in front of if face, not the rest of the body, and the shadow he cast is oposite from the light shining on is forehead. the big church thingy in the back cast none.. :rolleyes:

Maybe it\'s a cut scene where someone is approching him (off screen to the left) with a lantern.

Who knows?!

What? No it doesn\'t, it looks great. Your opinion is wrong, IMO.

Now if you\'d said that in regards to DW7 then you might have been on to something, but this one looks good.

What makes this game so great graphically?You people seem to find the graphics very nice, while I see them as mediocre at best.

For a cel-shaded game, it has incredible detail..

Seems as though it\'s going to look better than Dark Cloud 2..

« **Reply #27 on:** August 21, 2003, 04:23:15 PM »

I know games that look 10 times better than that.Even Jet Set Radio looks better than that.

Not to mention that all glorious hard-to-distinguish-from-Anime graphically cell shaded title that is called ZOE2.

Bobs_Hardware · « **Reply #28 on:** August 21, 2003, 04:28:19 PM »

As far as I know, ZOE2 isn\'t cel-shaded. It does have some cel-shading in it, though (puffs of smoke, etc).

And Jet Set Radio does look good.

JSRF is still probably the finest example of cel-shading I\'ve ever seen.

« **Reply #29 on:** August 21, 2003, 04:43:10 PM »

Couldnt they have made this one(DQVIII) a little bit better looking?I mean I dont think you will argue that the 3+ year old JSR looks better than that or many other cel-shaded graphically titles.
I get disappointed when I see sequels from popular titles (especially coming from Squareenix) that doesnt exploit the hardware\'s potential much.I think it deserved a better treatment.Also seeing this quality of grapchics it gives me the impression that they havent put much effort to the game generally because of Dragon Quest\'s fame as one of the most succesfull RPGs since the old days of the first final fantasies.

Ofcourse I might be wrong.
