26:56 Also I have to admire the courage of these guards. They're charging head first with no hesitation towards the heroes who saved the world from certain doom. That takes guts
Mage, I struck gold again watching another series of yours. Love your dedication and care with each game, heck, each episode. The quality is so noticeable and I really enjoyed watching a game you so clearly love; It shined through brilliantly! Can’t wait to finish post game episodes and move on to another of your series :)
It's by no means perfect but this game is so special and I really wish more people knew of it (and other DQ games) here in the West. Thanks so much Mage for this playthrough and looking forward to seeing the postgame!
What I love about this ending is how the rest of the party all rush to the hero's side -- even putting themselves in danger -- to ensure he ends up with the princess.
Thank you so much, my friend, for giving us this game AGAIN! Having watched your OG one over 3 times, it was amazing to see new things in a beloved game! Can't wait for post game to come.
Hey, I actually caught up in time! Congrats on finishing the game, dood! The fight against Rhapthorne was surprisingly neck-and-neck for pretty much the entire time, but you made it look good! Even though I'm a fan of the new endings, I will fully admit that the original are the most sensible and canon. I didn't know about the ending shown here, though... Here's to the post game! Looking forward to it.
It depends on which one you love. The way how they're showing the Medea ending more "canon" looks like an inducement since they don't let you claim which you love, just after you ran away with the princess. It's because they put the new scenes on the original and can't blame them, they're doing it all the time when they add a new ending or story in DQ (just think about Psaro), but I think they're doing it very well here. If you love Medea, it's a romantic elopement, but if you love Jessica, you can take it as fulfilling your duty as a guard and saving the princess from that obnoxious jerk and then you go with your true love interest. Medea is really nice how she "dismisses" you and lets you free. It's great how they let you choose without adding any negative element to the one you turned off. Medea is even nicer when she respects your feelings for Jessica, just like how nice Jessica is about that, as you'll know from her later speech. Sorry for being long!
I just love how morrie's scarf keep moving even in closed places (his presence it's so strong that keeps it blowing XD) Can't wait to see the post game content
With the conclusion to a great series, I wait to see what my favorite youtube has in store, hoping you play dragon quest monster joker as the next dragon quest series. But continue the great work as always.
At 28:00 I tried to find every & anyway to teleport my ass out of there! I don’t like awkward confrontations even in games. If I had my way, I would have snuck out the back find Jessica and never set foot in Argonia (or Trodain) again…
Any idea why I have no prompt to save at the end? I've tried multiple times (PS2 version) and reloaded save states, I can't get it to prompt to save so I can move on to the Dragovian Trials.
Wow! Thanks Mage for a great tour through this game. You’re right the character development is the best part. I’ll miss Yangus saying “COR BLIMEY!” and the hero’s blank stares haha. Do you think Dragon Quest XII will be on PS4? I’m not ready to get a PS5 anytime soon…
Jessica and Medea together on the thumbnail look so nice!!! I agree that this initial one has only a little stuff added, but the "true" new ending has a much more volume, and even for Medea fans it's worth watching! Well, of course I admit that to be with the princess is a good way to finish, but as long as it's said that the DQ hero is the player himself, I expected they were not gonna decide my love interest, and at least give me a choice like in 5. Also, I guess you won't mind if I spoil this, but Charmless will NEVER profit from ANY of your choice... ...Oh, and I almost forgot! Happy "sixty niiine" day!
Cor blimey, Mage! Thanks so much for sharing, it's been a great watch :D I think this game with PS2s audio quality would be the ultimate version of DQ8. But man, am I the only one who thinks after this LP that Angelo is a lot more of a shit than previously? Idk if it's the version or what, but man what a bossy jerk :')
When you were in Trovain castle did you happen to see all of the Princess Madea statues all over the place? I chose Jessica because I can't stand Trode! He seriously dotes on Madea and would be a living nightmare on my characters marriage all the way up to his death.
Actually a bit disappointed in the ending. It's all they've talked about when they talk about the differences between the versions and it was.... meh weren't it :P

What a great way to re-live my favorite Dragon Quest and plus from the additional contents from the 3DS!

Oh my gosh when Angelo said I doubt anyone would notice you among the crowd!😂🤣😂🤣😂

Thank YOU for supporting this series so much man, it means so much to me!

Thanks for playing through this game mage!

I love how red is the one who restrains yangus, I believe in the original it was Angelo
In the PS2 version (part 94 of Mage's PS2 LP) it was Jessica who prevented Yangus from following.

Red is hilarious in her impression of Yangus. 🤣🤣🤣
That made me smile SO MUCH
@@magemasher22 I laughed and smiled. I love how they included her as a playable character with new endings.
Wow! Thanks Mage for a great tour through this game. You’re right the character development is the best part. I’ll miss Yangus saying “COR BLIMEY!” and the hero’s blank stares haha. Do you think Dragon Quest XII will be on PS4? I’m not ready to get a PS5 anytime soon…
No idea about that sadly, but by the time it comes out the PS4 will probably be over 10 years old
Me: *Sees the end* NOOOOOOO!!!
Also me: *Sees for now* YES!
Same here!
I’ve never seen the new ending, so that’ll be fun!
the only advised for post game is prepare to fight Dragons
love the Charmles insults!
Jessica and Medea together on the thumbnail look so nice!!! I agree that this initial one has only a little stuff added, but the "true" new ending has a much more volume, and even for Medea fans it's worth watching!

Are you going to show the extra content in DQ XI as well (the definitive version)?
Hopefully one day!
Sorry for commenting again, but when are you planning to do the grinding stream and to continue this LP?
Hopefully soon, once I’ve finished off the ff7 stuff , although I might take a little break yet I’m not sure
Cor blimey, Mage! Thanks so much for sharing, it's been a great watch :D I think this game with PS2s audio quality would be the ultimate version of DQ8. But man, am I the only one who thinks after this LP that Angelo is a lot more of a shit than previously? Idk if it's the version or what, but man what a bossy jerk :')
Angelo certainly has some interesting dialogue in the party chats...
When you were in Trovain castle did you happen to see all of the Princess Madea statues all over the place? I chose Jessica because I can't stand Trode! He seriously dotes on Madea and would be a living nightmare on my characters marriage all the way up to his death.
Omg frikin Morrie 😂. They really had fun with his character.
He’s so great!!
Hey mage what is your favorite Dragon Quest
8!
I have a theory that the Hero and Medea are cousins so in my mind, Jessica is the true cannon waifu
The Hero is Charmles' cousin, not Medea's lmao Canon doesn't really matter, pick what you want, but your theory was miles off lololol
Actually a bit disappointed in the ending. It's all they've talked about when they talk about the differences between the versions and it was.... meh weren't it :P
The "true" endings are much more different from each other.
