No arguing doesn't mean we can voice a disagreement with their review so long as it's civil yes?

Dragon Quest VIII (7.5/10)
I admittedly haven't passed it yet but I have a high opinion of the game itself even though it hasn't aged the most gracefully. The battle system is typical of turn based systems but where it really shines is the abilities and magics the characters can gain. Unlike games where there are skills that are powerful and reliable each ability gained can change up how you approach future battles. Sometimes even making experimentation necessary- keeping the battles fresh as you move along the story. The graphics are great for its time featuring colorful characters with voices. The cliche story doesn't present many surprises- the depth I found were in the characters. What creeps me out, just a tad, about every battle is that every monster is hopped up on happy pills. Seriously guys...stop smiling o_o;
