I played it trough now and technically it can't keep up with Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy games in pretty much every way of course but it's suppose to be an oldscool game anyway with all it's flaws and addiction for discovery and collection.
All in all it was more an average game for me which couldn't give me such a great 3-D feeling like Zelda did and the music isn't bad composed but too boring after a while and destroys sometimes the atmosphere with pretty lame cues in climatic moments. It's bad enough that the sequences aren't really good cut together and can look extremely cheap. The score simply can't keep up anymore with the high quality osts today but well, it's an oldschool game with all of it's flaws.
The slow leveling up and waaaaaaay to many random battle can drag the gameplay pretty down but I'm in such a high level now that I don't get them at all anymore with holy protection. Only have to beat the dragonian dragon 3 more times.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

@Kostaki
Oh yeah the story is sooo much better than the one of KH2, it also looks better than FFX and not to mention those AMAZING cutscenes-.- Omg play first a bunch of RPGs before making posts with no sense and I'm not complaining about the orchestra just the composition itself but you don't really seem to read posts anyway before quote little parts of it with no sense.
You wanna now how a an orchestra score of a game really should be? Than play Cameo and like I said. There's simply not enough dynamic in the score that at some point you just stop listening to the music and nothing in it really stands out.
The ONLY things it can keep up with FF and KH is the gamplay, discovery- and collecting part but that's diffrent from every player anyway and I'm not an oldscool rpg type of guy since I simply don't have time to ways over 60h just to finish it so DQ8 is an exeption.
Oh any I'm also done with the monster arena. Just used the team of golems. They are the best combination for the arena.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
