Dragon Quest VIII/Fridge

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Fridge Brilliance

  • During Marcello's ascension to the Lord High Priest, he gives a speech talking about the unfairness of birthrights, the useless nobility who trod upon others, etc... then he gets to speaking about "a Goddess who does nothing", and the player realizes that the death of Abbot Francisco, after he'd expressed confidence that the Goddess would save him, just may have hit him harder than it appears. May also count as Hidden Depths.
  • The Hero's immunity to curses, at least once you start to realize how it affects gameplay.
  • The guards of the prison island in a world where almost everyone has a British accent, have Australian accents.
  • The subtitle. Trode might be a cursed king, but he's not the only one.

Fridge Horror

Fridge Logic

  • Red and Morrie's absence from Purgatory Island is given a Hand Wave by Yangus explaining that they managed to escape. However, technically there should be a bounty on their heads.
