World of Light

World World of Light

Japanese Romaji Game Dragon Quest VIII Old localization None

The World of Light is the main overworld of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

It is the first time in the Dragon Quest series that the Overworld was made to look larger compared to the previous installments which looked more like overhead maps. Numerous treasure chests are added to make the exploration rewarding, as well as cows that each have a bottle of Fresh milk.

This World is a counterpart to the World of Darkness.
