Dragon Quest VIII?

Okay, maybe I'm wrong on this one, but aren't you guys playing RPG's for story? I know, when I play an RPG, I'm looking for story (it's not as though I played through Jade Empire or Mass Effect for the awesomely mediocre combat), so what exactly makes DQ VIII so great, if it's in a genre that's near dependent on story, and has a bland one(according to some of you guys)?

I've never played the DQ series for the story. I like them for the gameplay, depth, and humorous dialogue. Mostly the game revolves around combat and character development, with lots of open ended exploration. The story in DQ8 is simple but entertaining and there is enough of it to keep your interest. Don't expect some epic story going into to it and you will enjoy it much more. It's basically a more laid back type of game that's just simply fun to play and doesn't take itself too seriously.

because the story of DQVIII games it actually makes you feel part of the story.. and everything that X2 already said... also because is one of the few RPGs these days that has traditional HARD battles (the big bird of the world of darkness >_> comes to my mind), but this one actually deserves the title Role Playing Game :lol.
That, and if I want a really good story, I'll read a book.
