While this is an odd choice, it gives the chance for another release of the game to include an orchestrated soundtrack. While the North American version of Dragon Quest 8 on the 3DS did not get a remastered soundtrack, the Japanese version of the game actually did. Dragon Quest 8 is one of these games that has not had its soundtrack orchestrated outside of live performances. However, the music in most of the Dragon Quest games is not fully orchestrated and opts to use a digital sound. Parts from different Dragon Quest games were even chosen to be played alongside many other video game songs at the Japanese Olympics. The soundtrack was composed by the late Koichi Sugiyama since the very first game and has been one of the biggest draws to the series ever since. One of the best parts of the Dragon Quest series is its masterful soundtrack, and Dragon Quest 8 is no exception.

The influence of the series on video games can not be understated, and it deserves to be preserved with other memorable classics. The recent success of Dragon Quest 11 has skyrocketed the series back into the spotlight among JRPG fans, and for a good reason.
