FOR KING AND COUNTRY!
A vast and vibrant would is yours to explore in the latest installment of this legendary role-playing series.
A mysterious jester. A forbidden scepter. A fiendish curse. A once idyllic kingdom lies entangled in a web of enchanted vines, it's king and princess hideously transformed, it's castle and subjects frozen in time. Only one person has survived the horror unscathed: you!
Only you can save your king and country by lifting the shadow of the jester's curse... But it won't be easy. An epic tale of friendship, bravery, and adventure awaits you on the grassy fields, snow-capped mountains, and restless seas of Dragon Quest VIII!
