Dragon Quest VIII on Nintendo 3DS will add various new features like a camera mode for taking photo booth-like pictures, but it’ll also have a new ending, according to this week’s issue of Jump magazine. [Thanks, @Kazu4281.]
While we still don’t know much about the story of this alternate ending, the magazine leaves us with clues of “a surprising development,” “furious King Clavius,” and “the protagonist gets depressed.”
Again, the magazine also reveals that there will be a new dungeon that is available upon beating the game. It’s called “The Ultimate Trial,” where you’ll get to find a never-before-seen “purple treasure chest.”
Dragon Quest VIII will release in Japan on August 27, 2015 for Nintendo 3DS.

We get to enjoy the lovely Ninja and Time Mage jobs, a look at the new Ramuh (Check that face!), and Fenrir as well. After the previous night’s livestream, I’m really starting to feel the hype for this one. Rather than go the Monster Hunter route, it looks like a slightly simplified version of XIV’s battle system. Super cool.
Xenoblade is the first announced title (for Japan) that will take advantage of the new 3DS models’ improved CPU — meaning it won’t be playable on the older 3DS, 3DS XL, or 2DS systems. […]
As if the Crystal Chronicles-esque 3DS game didn’t look tempting enough, here’s an unusually classy special edition for Japan, featuring a 3DS case, artbook, soundtrack, and 3DS cover.
Early purchasers of any edition (the game comes out December 18) get some Onion Knight gear in-game too! Meanwhile, in America, we get… jealous that this game hasn’t been announced yet.
