First (and likely only) run of DQ8 PS2.

Played on a US 90k PS2 through a Retrotink 4k. Played using a a Retro Fighters Defender turbo controller connected via a Brook Wingman PS2 for button remapping. Button remapping was used to swap Triangle and Cross, as well as L1 and R1, for comfort reasons; no macro functionality was used.

Overall, a fine first run. Both grinds felt a little slow (but not terrible) and boss RNG was overall not great. I made plenty of beginner mistakes, too. I'm happy enough with it.
