Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King – Second Trailer

Early this morning, Square-Enix revealed the second trailer for Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, on Nintendo 3DS. It starts by showing some story scenes, before showcasing the various playable characters, including the two “newcomers”: Morrie and Red (complete with a preview of the voice acting).

Then we move on to some of the gameplay systems, such as Alchemy, character customisation (with equipment), but also the Battle Road. We also get to see the recently-announced Camera Mode, where you can take picture of the game at any moment. It turns out you can edit the pictures, and add various effects just like in one of those popular photo booths in Japan. You can even share pics with other players via StreetPass!

The trailer below also shows the player transforming into a bird in order to fly and travel faster, though it’s also possible to ride monsters to do so. We also get a good look at some of the special attacks that can be launched during battles, and then, the trailer ends with some more story scenes.

Here’s the second trailer for Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King on Nintendo 3DS:
