Square Enix’s latest update on Dragon Quest VIII sheds new light on the game’s camera features.
It will be possible to enter camera mode by hitting the start button. Players can then take photos of different scenes, all of which are saved to the SD card. Photos can also be taken with the character and your favorite party character.
Also detailed today are Dragon Quest VIII’s “Photos Quests”. When players visit the game’s town, they’ll come across the “Photographer Fort” NPC. He’ll give you his notebook of quests that can be checked at any time. There are quests in which players take pictures of rare items and monsters, along with famous locations. Also, some of these quests will earn you more stamps than others.
