Soundtrack
As with every Dragon Quest game, Koichi Sugiyama composed the music and directed each associated spinoff. The music was performed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra with Sugiyama as the conductor. An OST for Dragon Quest VIII was released in December 2005, published by Aniplex. In the Japanese release of the game, the game features sequenced music, whereas the US version contains symphonic suite orchestral recordings. The track listing for the symphonic suite is as follows:
