Dragon Quest VIII/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Idiot Plot]]: The Purgatory Island chapter, which only happens because the party let some rank-and-file Templars manhandle them off a floating island, into a boat, and into a pit of a prison cell. They're quite literally the strongest characters in the entire room, and have zero reason to go along with it. The party has no business there, except to witness Rolo's redemption arc.

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Geyzer can be seen as this, considering the pain he suffers from his wound.

** Also in the Puff-Puff Club, if you have Jessica as the first character. The puff-puff girl has no problem whatsoever to give a nice [[Marshmallow Hell|"Puff Puff"]] to Jessica and even call her [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French|"cherié and mademoiselle]]. Still, Jessica [[Not Distracted by the Sexy|doesn't look amused]]. {{spoiler|Yet if you talk to her after getting a puff puff, she says [[Buxom Is Better|she'd love to have a "pair" like that]].}}

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: {{spoiler|Marcello}}, for a while. Despite acting mostly for petty reasons, you almost have to respect him for {{spoiler|becoming Lord High Priest in a matter of weeks, effectively playing politics with the entire Church and ''winning''}}. Not to mention {{spoiler|resisting Rhapthorne's possession, because he's just ''that'' focused. Not even one of your party members could do that.}}
