    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.

      For me, I loved Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles, Dragon Warrior III, Dragon Warrior Monsters, and Dragon Warrior Monsters 2.

    Dragon Quest is one of my favourite game series of all time. I love old-school JPRG combat, I love grinding for the next level and piece of equipment (and thus having those levels and pieces of equipment really come with a sense of accomplishment), I love the incredible sense of adventure, I love the awesome character designs and hilariously unique monsters. Dragon Quest is the goddamn best.

      ***** 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.

    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

      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.

    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
