These descriptions below are extra content that I think would make Dragon Quest VIII complete as a +New Game plus Hard mode meaning all monsters are 25% Stronger with 25% more HP and the bosses are 40% Stronger with double HP. These extra stories would compliment the main story and would add a level depth which would make this game even more of a gem.

Instead of Morrie, King Pavane gets a chance to shine as a character on here.

In my added content the new game is a [Hard] version of the game where monsters now have 25% more HP and are 25% Stronger.

In this content there are these Additions:

[Demon Seeds]

This addition would add a demon seed creature for every heir that is murdered by Rhapthorne, a demon is released creating a difficult boss to battle. This will alter the story slightly but not enough that it would actually change it.

Demon Seed I:

When the Hero, Yangus, and Valentina return from the waterfall, Farebury is under attack by a Demon Seed where Master Rylus was murdered. Kalderasha tries to aid the town guards but they fail and before it can finish them off. The Hero, Yangus, and Valentina run to their aid to battle this evil spawn (Already softened a little by the town guard and Kalderasha) This battle will be the hardest first battle fought.

Demon Seed II:

After finding Jessica the hero and Yangus retrieve Bangerz who hid to avoid Jessica finding out he left the village. On the way out of Alexandria Tower, a demon seed creature blocks the exit as to finish off any of the last of the Alberts or anyone associated with them. The Hero, Yangus, and Bangerz are forced to fight for their lives. There is a caveat here, if you are not prepared for this battle and lose, a different event will take place. Jessica will come down and see what has happened then distract the demon and give the Hero and his friends a chance to heal. Then the battle will continue with Jessica in your party making this boss battle a bit easier, but Jessica will scold Bangerz for leaving the village, and the Hero and Yangus for putting Bangerz in a dangerous situation.

Demon Seed III:

After Abbott Francisco is murdered Dhoulmagus decides to finish everyone off saying he wants to end the show. As he leaves a big and small pteradactyl enter as an evil spawn. Angelo and Marcello are weakened greatly by the encounter with Dhoulmagus. The Hero, Yangus, and Jessica quickly hide King Troad behind them. The Demon Spawn looks like it is beyond the three of them. In a last second moment of diving intervention, Abbott Francisco comes back as a spirit and heals Marcello and Angelo, giving them the strength to stand up and fight this evil. In this very difficult boss fight you will have The Hero, Yangus, Jessica, Angelo, and Marcello.

Demon Seed IV:

After Golding is murdered Dhoulmagus leaves his last impressionable Demon Seed, two small jesters whom he has to watch for his pursuers. They don't show up until after the innitiation contest. The player can choose when they return who will help them in the battle be it Cash or Carrie. Upon arrival the casino is in chaos with these little jesters wreaking all kinds of havoc. Only the hero notices their sinister nature, once the jesters see them, they immediately attack.

Demon Seed V:

After David is murdered by Leopold, a big purple demonic worm surfaces to attack. Dominico, joins the battle to keep the ground stable so the heroes can battle it safely.

Demon Seed VI:

After Marta's tragedy, a giant cerebus appears as the demon released. Marek joins the heroes and vows to avenge his mother's death by aiding in this battle, and he will offer to help in the quest to stop Rhapthorne.

Demon Seed VII:

After the heroes arrive on Neos to confront Marcello, they defeat him but Rhapthorne releases the final demon seed a green demonic dragon.

[New Playable Characters & Side Mission Arcs]

Valentina, Kalderasha, Bangerz, Mash, Lady Rosalind, Ishmahri, Cash, Carrie, Marek, King Pavane, King Clavius, Dominico (Red & Morrie)

Characters that fit in the main story arc which are recruitable but also have side missions you can do as them.

1st Side Mission - Adventure to Farebury - Bangerz & Mash (Will be available once The hero, Yangus, and Jessica, leave Port Prospect)

Lady Rosalind is in a pickle and wants to know Jessica will be fine; but she can't spare anyone to go to Farebury at the moment with the soldiers at the check point checking the damage and short on defenders of the village. Bangerz offers to go there but is quickly dismissed, Bangerz convinces Mash to sneak out of the village and make for Farebury to find Kalderasha. Bangerz should be at least level 6 by this point and Mash may have to defend for the first level or two. They will find berries that heal HP on the way but will have to find a possessed hammerhead to enter the back entrance of Farebury. Mash will need to be at least level 5 to be helpful.

2nd Mission - Defense of Alexandria - Lady Rosalind & Kalderasha (Will be available after the Hero thwarts Dhoulmagus' first attempt to go after Abbott Francisco)

Once Kalderasha sets up his crystal ball he sees Jessica with the Hero and Yangus and then gets a glimpse of Dhoulmagus and his vision is stopped. Dhoulmagus sends them a gift all the way back to Alexandria and opens a porthole which begins flooding monsters into the village. As Rosalind and Kalderasha, you must help the townsfolk and defeat the shadow guarding the porthole.

3rd Mission - The Hermit's Misson - Kalderasha, Rosalind, Valentina, Bangerz, & Mash (Will be available right after the 2nd side mission)

A ritual to prevent portals from opening in the village is needed to prevent further incursions. The Hermit on the waterfall has ingredients needed but won't part with them easily. He offers a key to a secret part of the cave to find him some precious gem stones. Once you enter the secret underground, Bangerz & Mash will be needed to sneak around and see where the dark dwarves are in order to avoid them. Even with a party of 5, an encounter could prove deadly, so use the boys' stealth skills to scout and lead the way. The normal encounters will be tougher - try not to let Bangerz & Mash get caught off guard by an encounter alone.

4th Mission - Rescuing Jessica from a Nightmare - Hero, Yangus, Angelo, & Ishmahri

Jessica must be awakened from Rhapthorne's curse, the heroes will travel to the realm of nightmares with Ishmahri to rescue their friend and battle the lord of nightmares.

5th Mission - Royal Mystery of Shadows - King Clavius, King Pavane, Lady Rosalind, Kalderasha, Valentina

Merchants and travelers are disappearing, soldiers have disappeared too, which led to a royal conference only to decide that it is a matter that must be dealt with by the utmost power. Take this group of royal to the spot between Ascantha & Argonia to discover what happened & travel to the shadow world to rescue those who have been stuck in the dark world by battling the king of shadows. Boss - Shadow Dragon!
