March 05, 2004 - Japan's two biggest Online RPG series, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, share little in common, one difference being the use of subtitles in the name. Every Dragon Quest game but the first has had a subtitle, and now we know the same to be true of the latest entry in the series.
The latest issue of Japan's Jump Magazine weekly comic magazine includes a feature on Dragon Quest VIII, revealing for the first time the game's subtitle. The full name of the game is Dragon Quest VIII: Sora to Umi to Daichi to Norowareshi Himegimi. This name unofficially translates to English as Dragon Quest VIII: Sky, Sea, Earth and the Cursed Princess.
