published by <a href="/wiki/Square_Enix" title="Square Enix">Square Enix</a> (formerly <a href="/wiki/Enix" title="Enix">Enix</a>). Since its inception, development of games in the series have been outsourced to a plethora of external companies until <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Quest_X" title="Dragon Quest X">the tenth installment</a>, with localized remakes and ports of later installments for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_DS" title="Nintendo DS">Nintendo DS</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_3DS" title="Nintendo 3DS">Nintendo 3DS</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Switch" title="Nintendo Switch">Nintendo Switch</a> being published by <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a> outside of Japan. With its first game published in 1986, there are eleven main-series games, along with numerous spin-off games. In addition, there have been numerous <a href="/wiki/Manga" title="Manga">manga</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anime" title="Anime">anime</a> and <a href="/wiki/Novel" title="Novel">novels</a> published under the franchise, with nearly every game in the main series having a related adaptation. The series introduced a number of features to the genre and has had a significant impact on the development of other role-playing games. Installments of the series have appeared on various computers, consoles, handheld devices, and mobile phones. Early in the series, the Dragon Quest games were released under the title Dragon Warrior in North America to avoid trademark conflict with the unrelated <a href="/wiki/Tabletop_role-playing_game" title="Tabletop role-playing game">tabletop role-playing game</a> <a href="/wiki/DragonQuest" title="DragonQuest">DragonQuest</a>. Square Enix did not register the Dragon Quest trademark for use in the United States until 2002. The basic premise of most Dragon Quest games is to play a hero (actually named "Hero" in spinoff fiction, but in all games, the player is able to name their hero) who is out to save the land from peril at the hands of a powerful evil enemy, with the hero usually accompanied by a group of <a href="/wiki/Party_(role_playing_games)" class="mw-redirect" title="Party (role playing games)">party members</a>. Common elements persist throughout the series and its spinoff games: <a href="/wiki/Turn-based_game" class="mw-redirect" title="Turn-based game">turn-based combat</a>; recurring monsters, including the <a href="/wiki/Slime_(Dragon_Quest)" title="Slime (Dragon Quest)">Slime</a>, which became the series' mascot; a text-based menu system; and <a href="/wiki/Random_encounter" title="Random encounter">random encounters</a> in most of the main series. All games in the series as of 2024 involve scenario writer and game designer <a href="/wiki/Yuji_Horii" title="Yuji Horii">Yuji Horii</a>, and prior to their deaths, character designer <a href="/wiki/Akira_Toriyama" title="Akira Toriyama">Akira Toriyama</a> and music composer <a href="/wiki/Koichi_Sugiyama" title="Koichi Sugiyama">Koichi Sugiyama</a> have handled their respective roles on most games in the series. The original concepts, used since the first game, took elements from the Western role-playing games <a href="/wiki/Wizardry" title="Wizardry">Wizardry</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ultima_(series)" title="Ultima (series)">Ultima</a>. A core philosophy of the series is to make the <a href="/wiki/Gameplay" title="Gameplay">gameplay</a> intuitive so that players can easily start playing the games. The series features a number of religious overtones which were heavily censored in the NES versions outside of Japan. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Media">Media</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Dragon_Quest&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Media">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Dragon_Quest_media" title="List of Dragon Quest media">List of Dragon Quest media</a></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Games">Games</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Dragon_Quest&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Games">edit</a>]</div> The <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Quest_(video_game)" title="Dragon Quest (video game)">first installment</a> of the franchise was released in Japan on May 27, 1986, titled with the name "Dragon Quest" followed by a Roman numeral.

Players as this class would wielded a sword used for attacking foes in their main hand and a shield used to block incoming attacks in their off-hand. They would engage in melee dealing damage up-close using their strength to overwhelm their foes and could tank damage that would otherwise be directed to their allies. When a warrior was under the "Oomph" spell's effect they grow longer in size being able to deal more damage as well as being able to hit more targets with a single swing each attack but also gaining a larger hitbox making them a much easier target for foes to hit.</li> <li>Mages used attack spells and a support spell that increased the attack power of allies. Players as this class wielded a staff in their main hand and a special glove controller allowing them to access a spell type selection system in-game on their off-hand. Players as this class would raise their hand forward with the glove to which three magic circles each representing spells will appear in front of them. They would then select one of the spells with their staff, then raising and lowering it to cast the spell in the direction of the target. The spells were <a href="/wiki/Gameplay_of_Dragon_Quest#Abilities" title="Gameplay of Dragon Quest">the ice spell "Crack", the fire spell "Frizz", and "Oomph", which doubles the target's attack power for a certain period of time</a>. Players could charge their spells by keeping their staff raised for a short then lowering it to cast a stronger version such as Crack being cast as "Crackle", and Frizz as "Kafrizz".</li> <li>Priests healed and revived allies, and used an offensive spell. Players as this class wielded a cane in their main hand while also wearing a similar glove controller in the off-hand. Their spells were cast in the same way as a mage with a different set of spells to choose from, the resurrection spell "Kazing", a revival spell "Heal", and the tornado attack spell "Woosh". Players could also cast Heal on themselves by touch the light at the tip of the staff with their gloved hand, method that was changed from a previous one due to an update (holding their cane up and swinging it down). However, Kazing could not be used in this same manner as they were the only class that could revive downed players. Like the mage, raising the cane for a short time when using Woosh will cause it to become the powerful version "Swoosh".</li></ul> Each player given their own class could take only a set amount of damage before going down. If the player was at critical health their screen turned black and white, and if damaged further, they would enter a downed state and would be displayed as a pillar of light on the screen to notify fellow players. The game ended in one of two ways, if all players were defeated to which they appeared in front of the king admonished them for their failure or congratulated them on their success.

Two of the player character's three highest-level armaments are named "Erdrick's Sword" and "Erdrick's Armor" in Dragon Quest and Dragon Quest II. Playing Dragon Quest III with the name "Erdrick" is impossible in the original release, as the game prompts the player to choose a different name for the hero. This is because the status of III in the chronological order as a prequel of the first two titles is presented as a plot twist.

In Dragon Quest V Zenithia has fallen into a lake south of Lofty Peak (Elheaven in the original release), until the Golden Orb is returned leaving the castle able to move freely in the sky.

This includes going into meticulous details such as how fast a page opens or the way a door opens. According to Horii, "... little things like here and there the controls not feeling right and such can really grate the players' nerves if the tempo isn't right." He believes players should be able to control the game unconsciously, which is not easy to accomplish.<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_Mario-134">[128]</a> Horii tries to design the games in such a way that players never need to read a manual nor play through a tutorial in order to figure out how to play the game,<a href="#cite_note-CEDEC-135">[129]</a> and tries to create good storylines with short dialogues.<a href="#cite_note-136">[130]</a> Ryutaro Ichimura, who has worked on Dragon Quest titles with Horii since Dragon Quest VIII, has implemented Horii's suggestions even when it is not obvious why his ideas will work. "[A] lot of the time when he [Horii] points these things out, we cannot see them at first, but eventually you get it."<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_Mario-134">[128]</a> Dragon Quest games have an overall upbeat feeling.<a href="#cite_note-20_RPGs-90">[88]</a> The typical Dragon Quest plot involves the player controlling a party of heroes to defeat an ultimate evil villain, who usually threatens the world in some way. The plot-line often consists of smaller stories that involve encounters with other characters.<a href="#cite_note-kurt-3">[1]</a> This linear plot-line is intentional, to help ease the generally high learning curve RPGs have for those unaccustomed to them.<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_History-122">[116]</a> The gameplay is designed to allow players to decide when, and whether, to pursue certain storyline paths.<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_Appeal-137">[131]</a> To ensure players continue to enjoy playing the game, no storyline path is made without some kind of reward and, to help ease players who may be apprehensive about whether they are on the right path, the distance the character has to travel to get rewarded is reduced at the beginning of the game. While the player never starts the game in a wholly non-linear way,<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_Mario-134">[128]</a><a href="#cite_note-John_Harris-138">[132]</a> they usually allow players to explore an <a href="/wiki/Open_world" title="Open world">open world</a> in a <a href="/wiki/Nonlinear_gameplay" title="Nonlinear gameplay">non-linear</a> manner following an early linear section of the game.<a href="#cite_note-John_Harris-138">[132]</a> Early character levels start players off with more <a href="/wiki/Hit_points" class="mw-redirect" title="Hit points">hit points</a> and a substantially increasing growth at later levels, although the effective bonuses of every additional level decreases.<a href="#cite_note-John_Harris-138">[132]</a> While Toriyama would later become more widely known with the success of <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Z" title="Dragon Ball Z">Dragon Ball Z</a> in North America, when Dragon Quest was released he was relatively unknown outside Japan. While the Dragon Quest hero was drawn in a <a href="/wiki/Super_deformed" class="mw-redirect" title="Super deformed">super deformed</a> manga style, the Dragon Warrior localization had him drawn in the "West's template of a medieval hero".<a href="#cite_note-Art-139">[133]</a> The trend continued through the first four games, although the artwork for weapons and armor began using more of Toriyama's original artwork for Dragon Warrior III and IV. However, while the booklets' artwork was altered, the setting and poses remained virtually identical.<a href="#cite_note-Art-139">[133]</a> The games always feature a number of religious overtones; after the first Dragon Warrior game, saving and reviving characters who have died is performed by clergy in churches. Bishops wander around the over-world of Dragon Quest Monsters and can heal wounded characters. The final enemy in some of the Dragon Quest games is called the Demon Lord; for instance in Dragon Quest VII, the Demon Lord (known as Orgodemir in that particular game) is the final <a href="/wiki/Boss_(video_game)" class="mw-redirect" title="Boss (video game)">boss</a>, and there is a <a href="/wiki/Sidequest" class="mw-redirect" title="Sidequest">sidequest</a> to battle against God. The first four Dragon Quest titles were subjected to censorship in their North American localizations, largely in keeping with <a href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo of America</a>'s content guidelines at the time that placed severe restrictions on religious iconography and mature content.

The theme and other jingles for Dragon Quest have continued to be used throughout the series.<a href="#cite_note-1UP.com-composer-144">[138]</a> He went to compose a total of over 500 tracks for the series.<a href="#cite_note-145">[139]</a> Sugiyama was also composing for <a href="/wiki/Dragon_Quest_XII" class="mw-redirect" title="Dragon Quest XII">Dragon Quest XII</a> prior to his death in 2021.<a href="#cite_note-146">[140]</a> The first album of music from the series was released in 1986 and was based on music from the first game,<a href="#cite_note-147">[141]</a> followed by a Symphonic Suite album for each game in the main series.

According to him, Dragon Quest is designed for anyone to pick up without needing to read the manual in order to understand it. Ryutaro Ichimura, producer at Square Enix, who has played the game since he was a child, says the Dragon Quest storylines allow players to experience a moving sense of achievement where they take the role of a hero saving the world.<a href="#cite_note-Iwata_Asks:_Appeal-137">[131]</a> Horii believes the ability to appeal to larger audiences of <a href="/wiki/Casual_game" title="Casual game">casual gamers</a>, while not alienating the more <a href="/wiki/Hardcore_gamer" class="mw-redirect" title="Hardcore gamer">hardcore gamers</a>, is due to being able to lower the initial hurdle without making it too easy.

These arguments are countered by noting its strength in episodic storytelling with the various <a href="/wiki/Non-player_character" title="Non-player character">non-player characters</a> the party meets. The stories avoid melodrama and feature relatively more simplistic characters than Final Fantasy's <a href="/wiki/Squall_Leonhart" title="Squall Leonhart">Squall Leonhart</a> or <a href="/wiki/Tidus" title="Tidus">Tidus</a>, a source of contention. There are exceptions, however, such as Dragon Quest V, which has been praised for its unique, emotional storytelling. Battles are also simple and finish quickly. As for difficulty, Yuji Horii is noted as a gambler. The lack of save points and the general difficulty of the battles were included with the intention of adding a sense of tension.
