I actually put something like 120 hours on the game -.- I usually plow through RPGs, but I wanted to take my time with this one, explore every nook and cranny, talk to everyone, buy everything, etc., etc. I enjoyed the game a lot, despite how plain it was in many regards, but by the end I just got sick of playing it.

Okay... I have another problem. That Black Dog has gotten hold of the staff and just killed Marta the Healer and grew wings and flew to the East. I sailed East and came to the Savella Cathedral where the Lord High Priest lives... Bad part is that nothing is happening. They keep talking about a dark shadow they had seen the night of the New Moon. I don't know what I need to do now. I am sooo confused. Please help if you can. P.S. I got bored of waiting for somthing to happen so I got this Illuminated Sea Chart and went to the Godbird's island.

This part had me confused too. Honestly, it doesn't make much sense at all since it's obvious who he going after next. But anyway, you have to fly to some far off town (you can find the exact location from GameFAQs). Next you complete a small segment there which gives you an item you need before you can continue. And don't worry about going to the Godbird Island, you were supposed to do that first.

I <3 DQVIII. I'm about to go into the final stretch now; Spoiler, Highlight to Read*: I'm hunting for the Orbs. >_> I have to sit and stare at the Zoom list for 5 minutes at a time trying to remember where each of the Sages' heirs died. XD This has to be the most fun I've had with a game in a really long time.
I hate the accents, though. I mean some are okay, but nearly everyone having a british accent is giving me a bit of culture shock. I'm not british, so ALL of it being that way is a bit annoying.
I mean, I still haven't got a clue what Cor Blimey even means. . .
The only VAs I really like are Trode, Marcello and Yangus. (Minus the Cor Blimey, simply 'cause I don't know what he's saying. ) Jessica's voice REALLY annoys me for some reason, and the rest are bareable I guess. Just bad acting in general, I think. Every other line I'm going "Hey, you put the emphases on the wrong part of the sentence, VA! >_<" I wish you could turn the voices off. I don't see why they even went through the trouble for the NA version - Voice Acting in DQ feels so weird. >__>
*Do we have spoiler tags here? Or at least a color that might work better? xP

You have to admit the Cor Blimey pose that Yangus does is really funny. Anyway, he gets tired of it towards the end of the game. I am also trying to find the Orbs for the Staff that I got from the Godbird.

Yeah, my point was that getting the ring should've been required for beating the game. It was stupid to watch one ending and then watch a second that was about 80% the same. It would be different if one ending were radically different from the other.
Glad to see so many DQ fans -- Dragon Quest VIII, specifically, is easily one of my all-time favorite RPG's. 100+ hours in I actually have a boatload of stuff still left to do after beating the game initially. With all the additional content that was offered thereafter I've had to take a break in order to focus on some other games I'd like to complete before delving back into it (DQVIII is entertaining enough that I'd like to be able to take an unusually extended amount of time to experience the game).
On a related note, anyone else excited about the announcement of Dragon Quest Swords: The Masked Queen and the Tower of Mirrors for the Nintendo Wii, and for Dragon Quest Monsters -- Joker?
And to push my luck a little, Level-5 (the developers of DQVIII) release Rogue Galaxy in October and that looks fantastic, especially if you were impressed with their visuals in DQ...the U.S. even get's additional content to boot!
