    I'm surprised that no one brought up the fact that Dragon Quest was such a Japanese sensation, that when the third installment was released on a work day there, dozens and dozens of students committed hokey to buy it. Adding to that was students stealing copies from each other and attempted shoplifting of the game.
    Enix, at the time, who knows if this still applies, has promised the Japanese government to only release future Dragon Quest games on Sundays and bank holidays.

    • @adameisen443

      The Laughing Man
      Below are my sources for the Dragon Quest 3 story. While a couple are questionable, I really only needed the first one and I thought more couldn't hurt. And while the sources do seem to agree that an actual Japanese law was never enacted, they also seem to agree that it was just Enix's own policy. Everyone agrees that the events of truancy DID happen.
      And while I couldn't find an online image of the reference that the source I originally read this from used, I shall put that citation at the bottom of my list and cross my fingers for something sprouting from that:

    Sadly here in Australia, I've never met another dragon quest fan, besides a friend who I introduced the series to. Nobody knows what I am talking about when I say "Dragon Quest is my favourite RPG series" then I say "Square Enix" then they say "Final Fantasy". I get hyped up whenever I hear someone mention Dragon Quest(namely Jon) because I barely ever hear people talk about dragon quest and even more rarely hear people as popular as Jon talking about it. I love Dragon Quest(especially 9. In fact I would go as far as to say it is my favourite game of all time).

If you're on the fence about getting this game, just get it. DQ11 took me 120 hours to complete. I enjoyed every minute and although the beggining felt a bit slow, if just kept getting better and better. This is one of the few jrpgs that I know I'll be replaying again.

    Dragon Quest and its creator, Yuji Horii, have some of the biggest influences on gaming ever and still do. Here's some extra facts:
    - Dragon Quest came before Final Fantasy and is the first ever JRPG. It bridged the gap between Ultima, Wizardry and Portopia (Horii's own game) to create the JRPG we all know & love.
    - Dragon Quest pretty much created all the tropes we take for granted in modern games, even for non-RPGs
    - Yuji Horii's second game, Portopia, is also massively influential like Dragon Quest. It created the visual novel genre, inspired Zelda's existence, inspired Hideo Kojima to become a game designer and introduced dozens of tropes we take for granted today.
    - Yuji Horii wrote the infrastructure for Chrono Trigger's story, including the time travel. Time travel is a common theme in Dragon Quest as well.
    - Dragon Quest outsells every RPG that isn't Pokémon in Japan by an incomprehensible margin. DQIX sold 2.3 million copies in 2 days. They are also more excited for a 2nd DQXI port than they are for Final Fantasy 16.
    - In Japan, Yuji Horii has a rockstar status and is just as loved as Miyamoto (Mario creator) by game designers and fans alike
    Some smaller facts:
    - Dragon Quest spawned orchestral music used in videogames
    - It had the first ever videogame boss with an additional form
    - It introduced "classes" to videogames
    - Zelda II's map was directly inspired by Dragon Quest
    - A lot of RPGs, including Pokémon, have references to DQ
    - DQ is still, to this day, just as popular as franchises like Pokémon & One Piece in Japan

      If you are new to RPGs in general, I would recommend Dragon Quest IX. It has character customisation, it is, in my opinion, one of the best looking Dragon Quests, and the menu system and the skills, spells and vocations stuff is less complex. If you own a Nintendo DS or 3DS, then I recommend this game.

      @googlesaurusrex 9 лет назад +1

      Endercreep123 Well it mainly has to do with HXH because the writer is a Dragon Quest fanboy who goes on long breaks just to play the games.
      And besides it's highly likely Dragon Quest XI will get localised so you aren't suffering.

    The reason for medals from Dragon Warrior 4 being in Dragon Warrior 3 for GBA is actually known. Dragon Warrior 1&2 were released on a single cartridge, and this was the plan for 3&4 as well. For reasons unknown to me (cost, size on cart, etc), that plan was cancelled, but the incomplete medal data from 4 was left in the game. The location (and other field data) is actually incomplete, and defaults to equipment characters, like the hat icon.
    I actually own a copy of Dragon Warrior 3 for GBA with all of these medals unlocked, AND I can save my data still. My friend had his cartridge break on him (he can no longer save), but he unlocked 26 copies of every medal in the game, including the Dragon Warrior 4 medals. If he trades any of the medals, it goes back to 26, essentially making infinite copies. We manually traded (cable link, back in the day!) every single medal to my game, and I unlocked the menus / medals in my game, but retained my ability to save. To my knowledge, I own one of the few (if only, who knows), cartridge with all of the medals, AND the ability to retain a save file.
    Anywho, figured I'd share, since it's a pretty neat / rare easter egg!

    • @GiordanDiodato
      @GiordanDiodato 8 лет назад

      My guess is actually because DQIV had a release on PS1 and it wasn't a part of the Erdrick series (which is the first 3 DQ games) Enix was planning on releasing the PS1 remake of DQIV in NA, but it was cancelled due to Enix of America going out of business and Enix buying out Squaresoft.

    • @Lucifronz
      @Lucifronz 8 лет назад

      ***** I've only played 4 and 5 on DS. 4 was alright, but 5 was absolutely fantastic. It's the game that got me into the series and I doubt any other game in the series will win me over as much as it.
      Not that they're all bad, it's just I feel it set the bar pretty high. A lot of elements I really enjoyed, like monster recruitment, a family system and a story that goes throughout the hero's entire life.

    In the original release, DQ8's music was made in MIDI/chiptune. The fully orchestrated soundtrack was added for the North American release.
    This game was also the first to be released under the name Dragon Quest in the US and the first to be released in Europe and thus lacks the Roman numeral in its title, thereby going by the full name Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King.
    Also, the translation was handled by Square Enix Europe so the grammar and slang is accurate for the time period.

      It's not particularly unusual in the industry- Toriyama's done a good number of designs for games- Blue Dragon and Tobal No. 1 were other games he did the designs for. Similarly Kouske Fujishima of Oh My Goddess and You're Under Arrest fame did the character designs for the Sakura Taisen games, as well as several Tales games. The character you named your account after is one of his designs.

    I remember trying to play dragon quest as a kid on the game boy. I had no idea what I was doing and I kept dying not knowing how to heal. I've never played a dragon quest game since.

    REALY!!?
    Nobody is going to mention the Pokémon like games where you catch and breed monsters in the dragon warrior universe? Dragon Warrior Monsters 1+2 on game boy color? And dragon quest monsters 1-3 on DS!? True fans know what I’m talking about!

      Dragon quest is a JRPG just like kingdom hearts, play it, now.

      AngeloGamerZ Well, more like Final Fantasy. KH is more focused on action and hack 'n slay instead of RPG but I know what you mean

    6:12 looks like the pokemon box menus and there's even an "Executer"...what a coincidence.

      Yes, maybe Gamefreak was inspired a little by DQ: Terry's Wonderland (because DQ came first) for the menus on pokémon. The same way Mother/Earthbound was.

    Dragon Quest was around before i could even pick up a controller. Once i got into gaming i eventually played most of them, these games made my childhood priceless and epic! :D
