It's an awesome game, and though I love how Jessica's appearance changes in Dragon Quest 8 I still wish the other's did as well. Some of that armor they have look positively awesome.
(This may contain a spoiler... or not! But just to play it safe... WARNING!) Another funny thing, while playing DQ8 I had raised the hero's tension up to 100 and because the main characters design reminds me so much of DBZ (isn't the artwork drawn by the same guy??) I had shouted to my little brother SUPER SAIYAN!! And I was pleasantly surprized to find he did sort of take on a purple form of a super saiyan.
