I think the biggest conspiracy is how Dragon Quest is criminally underrepresented westward. The lore is very well-thought out, it establishes a lot of good RPG design decisions, and it’s the same Toriyama artstyle of DBZ. Maybe it’s a combination of turn-based battles and the over-saturation of medieval/European adventure games back when the franchise was new? There also seems to be a lot of bad timing with the series. Dragon Quest 4 released 9 months before the Super Famicom, yet it didn’t get a remake like its predecessors there. But, Japan did get a 4 remake on PS1... in 2001, so that didn’t come overseas until 2007 on DS. DQ5 strangely wasn’t localized on SNES even though it came out in ‘92. Dragon Quest 6 wasn’t localized either and the game suffered when devs were stretched with it and Chrono Trigger. Dragon Quest 7 released in 2000, localized in 2001, and sold poorly in North America. Finally, Europe only started getting main games with DQ8 in 2006. It might as well have been the same case in North America thanks to a demo of FF12. Man, I used to think Pokémon was bad with its late console releases. This slow release of games creates this lack of momentum that just hurts them overseas. DQ9 and the remakes on DS did a good job with momentum, but then 10 didn’t come out because it was an MMORPG and 11 didn’t come out until 2017. That’s nearly a decade! Wow, I feel old.

A correction for your trivia about the Hero of DQ8. The reason he is resistant to curses is not because of his nature as a dragovian, but because he is already cursed. A curse was placed upon him at birth by the leader of the dragovians that would seal away his memories resulting in him being completely ignorant of his own origins. The curse is strong enough to not be overpowered or removed by any other curses or blessings like that of Rapthorne's curse which destroyed the kingdom of Trodain.

I actually used a Gadabout in my first original run of DQIII without knowing what's his secret was. I just thought that using a clown was cute and he misses just like Torneko in IV.

To clatify, those huge Nazca Lines are not Incan, there are from the Nazca civilization, one of the many, many peruavian cultures before the Incas. Saying all of this as Peruavian DQ fan, and i'm really glad they included those references to our ancient cultures.

In Dragon Quest VIII, if you complete the events of Ascantha and the wisher's peak before Angelo joins your party, there will be different party chat dialogue with Yangus and Jessica telling you that the banquette with King Pavan was cool, but they need to focus on pursuing Dhoulmagus. Then, if you complete the events of Maella Abbey, when you leave, you will see the original scene that was supossed to happen when you leave Ascantha after the banquette, only that this time King Trode will be upset because he was imprisoned and treated as a monster by Marcello and the templars, and then Yangus will have the idea of going to Pickham. I have never seen that scene in any gameplay on youtube, all the gameplays I have watched recruit Angelo first and then go for Ascantha. I also wanted to see if it was possible to go to Pickham without Angelo, but the Wisher's Peak was already too hard without him, I don't think I have the skill nor the patience to grind levels with Hero Yangus and Jessica to go to Pickham without Angelo, but I think it would be possible. I may try to do that in the next days. Nice video!

Instead we get a bunch of random boring stories about stuff mostly unrelated to the game or only related in very loose ways. Most of the stuff you read on the bookshelves in the game is pretty boring, but it could have been so much better! And yes, I have read EVERY SINGLE BOOK in the entire game and talked to every single NPC. I have absolutely poured over this game in every aspect and probably have 1,000 hours or more of real game time into it! It's a LONG freaking game if you really take your time.

Outstanding work right here as always!! Couldnt expect less from the DQ fan club chief It was time for someone to expose all the amazing myths this franchise holds, thank you so much for this! I’d love to see a part 2 from this series

The first game had the town theme but remixed with pizzicato strings, not intermezzo from IV! I think it's the same for builders 1.

I think the overall theory of Kiefer/Orgodemir based on what one fan told me is that he might have originally been possessed around the time that the Roamers had their failed ceremony and how his departure rubbed fans the wrong way. You know him already finding a purpose by finding the Fragments, yet claiming he had still been looking for his purpose. Also: 1. Aishe arguably having the least interms of story presence having only been added to provide a substitute for him. 2. Yeah part of it is based on the then upcoming remake of IV and how Psaro is not only purified from the Secret of Evolution, but joins the party. Meaning Kiefer would be separated from Orgodemir and rejoin, along with Lala. Heck, much like how Faraday is later empty near the end of the game of inhabitants as Zamoksva had the same thing happen in the original and remake of IV. 3. Things backing it up include the Super Kiefer bit with the heavy Resilience increase and how he is able to equip some gear from even after the Alltrades Abbey scenario.

An indicator on what entry you're talking about as well as showing the chart itself more would be good, but otherwise this is really cool. There's some indicators by the way that Erdrick was meant to be the base alt in Smash. His iconicness is one thing, but also other things such as how he's typically chosen for more promotional things such as the second anniversary image and most of all Sephiroth's trailer. If this is true they may have changed it to Luminary late in for dumb reasons like "Oh he's the newest guy people might recognize him, use him so people buy his game." Personally I wish Erdrick was the base especially when taking longevity into mind.

I really enjoyed this video bro. I've been wanting to see a DQ iceberg for a while and I'm glad I've learned stuff that I didn't even know. Props to you for doing it.

Dragon Quest is my favorite franchise of all time, but even the idea that we could have had a Dark Cloud 3 knowing we never got it is pretty sad.

There is something that has been bugging me ever since I played DQ3 and could probably be a theory, but I never see this discussed. Where did Zoma come from? In DQ3 when you fall into the hole, you reach the "underworld" which is the DQ1 world, supposedly it's underground almost as if the earth had a second layer below it where DQ1 and 2 takes place. Yet, when you are there, you are told that Zoma came from ANOTHER hole in the northern cave, but that's it, there is no further discussion nor lore about this hole other than your characters (Somehow) pop from there after defeating Zoma. The theory is, could Zoma come from another world even deeper below Alefgard? Just how deep does it go, are there maybe more worlds below it?... And if it is underground, how does the "day and night" cycle work exactly? Someone once told me that Alefgard whas not literally underground and that it was a different dimension but the game never clarifies it and all you are told is that it lies below the DQ3 since you and Ortega fell through holes to reach it. (On another note, could Erdrick also have spanish ancestry due to his father's name? which is actually a last name in spanish, meaning his true name is "Erdrick Ortega"?).

Oh my god, that Metal King Slime Ruby Path of Doom map...THEY REFERENCED THAT IN DQ11!! In Tickington, if you go to the Ruby Path of Doom, you can get a quest about someone sharing this map that is supposed to grant you tons of rewards, but adventurers are getting beaten up constantly! You travel down and find it's a Metal King Slime who's pissed off and tired of being used for grinding! The fact that the devs pay attention to what their fans do and implement it into their games is AMAZING.

Incredibly good watch, man. Thank you for this! Was only planning to stay for a few mins, but sat and watched the entire thing =D

Glad you liked it!

I still have a demo disc of DQ8 that I got from the old American version of Shonen Jump magazine.

Dragon Quest Builders is actually set in an alternate universe where the hero from DQ1 chose to side with the Dragon Lord, and that hero has a boss fight!

I’m so thankful for videos like these. Thank you! It would have been so cool if they didn’t make so many changes but that’s okay. Favorite RPG series of all time!

Wait, wasn't DQ8's hero resistance to curses due to his memory getting erased through a curse from the dragon god?

DQ3 having the game react a certain way to a special name is actually amazing.

24:50 this part reminds me of how in hylics you can get Somsnosa's gauntlets before she joins the party

Idk how i got here but dragon quest looks like somthing i definitely need to play

WTF KZread DIDN'T NOTIFIED ME OF THIS UPLOAD AAA

I really want to thank you for adding subtiles. I’m not English and it really helped me through the whole video.

With DQ 11 the black dragon hidden scene can be done if you are playing the definitely edition and go to 2D mode then back to 3D mode and choose to go back to the beginning of the of the game. And doing that is an unofficial new game plus where you don't get to bring back any quest items.

I'm very curious about how this works actually. I know it can be used for item replication but my biggest question is do the characters keep the levels and stats?

Loved the video. You gonna go to that Dragon Quest island theme park in Japan when it opens? That would be a cool video

sack spent some time in the hyperbolic time chamber

Aliahan is not Australia. The smaller continent in the south ocean is shaped just like Australia and has a big center in the desert, like Australia does. Rather, Erdrick comes from the only country that doesn't correspond to any place in the real world, which seems appropriate.

wooooooo really love this video thanks for sharing all your knowledge

I thought Aliahan was based on Atlantis. Learn something new everyday. Love this video.

With such effort put into knowing the dq series, you could probably ask the devs about some of this and get answers. Great video

I had no clue of the pop version of only lonely boy, that was my favorite part of the whole iceberg I now like that the even more and i really think the fact that sugiyama decided tu include it in the game it’s beautiful

also gonna say the Ruby path of doom made it into the DQ 9 segment of DQ 11. Being mentioned in Aquila’s quest

Thats pretty cool

I'm sad that the video is over. I wish there were more videos on easter eggs throughout the series. Great video!!!!

Oooooo boy I’ve been waiting for this

They mentionned the dragon quest 3 fiasco in the game Yakuza 0, theres a sidequest about a kid trying to buy the game Ara-Q3, and he keeps saying he needs to find his Arakure, i guess Ara-Q3 = Dora-Q3, i think they call dragon quest dora q in japan, kind of as an abbreviation to dragon quest..

Man, I wish we could get a DQ where we are the BBEG in the end. I think it would be a fun twist.

7:06 The animation of kiryl failing to cast thwack in DQ Heroes is actually a reference to dragon quest monster battle road victory, where an identical animation is seen for one of his finishers.

Thank you for this great video gives so much cool information

Loved this video. I honestly only knew a few things like Ashlynn being the dragon.

You don't like the switch remake brecause it removed one insignificant easter egg? I don't think that makes much sense.

Great video! I thought your channel was alot bigger when i watched this. Your very under rated for this much good editing
