Dragon Quest VIII/Awesome

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hero is Son Gohan!
  • Comes mostly from the NPC characters, although your characters have one when they hit super high tension.
  • Marcello, Angelo's estranged brother. He fights off being possessed by Rhapthorne, the lord of darkness and the Big Bad of the game, by stabbing himself in the arm.
  • It's not often that you see a party actually celebrate a victory over the Big Bad. Yangus sums it up nicely: "We dun it, guv! We only went an' bleedin' dun it!!"
  • King Trode gets two, oddly enough. The first is during the Initiation in Argonia, where Charmles is abusing Medea. He tries to get Charmles to stop, and when he initially fails, says that Charmles can beat him instead of the horse-princess. The second is in the normal ending, where he disarms a guard wielding a halberd using nothing but a small twig. Then he knocks him out with one blow to the stomach.
  • The whole wedding sabotage scene in general, but at one point, Trode is fighting off guards, with a twig.
