19. ....This deserves its own comment because I FANGIRLED SO FREAKING HARD WHEN I SAW THIS SECRET. Seriously, I've been debating doing a similar one. I had no idea it even HAD a fandom.

Honestly, I've only played Dragon Warrior IV (Was Dragon Quest a different translation of it or what? I swore the copy I had for Nintendo was definitely Dragon Warrior), though. The other three weren't available here at the time. But wow, you nailed it. That was my first RPG and what really got me into fantasy-type games and RPGs in the first place.

I noticed you didn't mention Ragnar. XD But his chapter wasn't my favorite, anyway. Alena was awesome. Tomboy Princesses for the win. Plus, who wouldn't want to travel around with Cristo and Brey? (Don't be dissing the Brey. Old guys are cool, too!) And I second you on Mara and Nara, as well. I was never really into mages much either, but they were cool.

...And Taloon. Oh man, don't even get me started on him. XDDDD He was the freaking best thing ever. I loved the things he could do in battle. XDDDD Absolutely hilarious. And later on, you can make SO MUCH MONEY with his shop.

Also, I loved how this was my first RPG, and yet it let me choose in chapter five, whether I wanted a male or female hero. And back then, I was just under the impression that guys had to be the heroes and such, thus that made me really happy. XD Also, I loved how everyone you meet came back together to join you in the last chapter and you could switch them around and make all new teams and everything. Plus if someone died in battle, someone could hop out of the wagon and take their place! ~~Oh wagon, how I love you.~~

...So, massive TL;DR, but this secret made me SO HAPPY. I know my roots, and that is IT. Thank you so much for spreading the love! And rest assured that there IS more love for it out there! If it had a fandom, I would sooooo join. XD ~~Do you know if there's a ROM or something for it? I'm DYING to play it again, but our nintendo has been dead for eons.~~

And randomly, I just realized you have a metal babble sprite in your secret too. Epic win. Get that massive EXP before he runs away! XD

(Yay, I get to flaunt my bit of knowledge!) The series has always been called Dragon Quest in Japan. However, the name Dragon Quest was licensed in America by someone other than Enix (I think it was a tabletop RPG or something similar) and so they couldn't use that name here. They opted instead for Dragon Warrior. When the license ran out between the stateside releases of VII and VIII, they snapped it up, and so from VIII on, the games are titled Dragon Quest in America as well.

So... anyone else sad about the closing of Slime Knights? Stupid move on Squenix's part, in my opinion.

Oh, and about playing it now! ROMs are out there I'm sure, but I've stuck to rereleases for my fix. I, II, and III are available in English on Gameboy Color, and IV's being remade for the DS. Only time will tell if IV will make it to the US. I'm hoping so, and have my fingers crossed that the other two installments in that trilogy, V and VI, will be remade and released here for the first time ever.

IV actually already has English (along with Spanish, Italian, French and German) text in it, the grammar and punctuation are a bit wonky but they're there so I'm assuming it's going to be coming out over here once they get it localized and stuff. DQ was Husband's first RPG and I've heard the plot for 4 (which is still one of his favorite games ever) so many times I feel like I've already played the game. Though that's not going to stop me once the English release of DQIV comes out. ^_^
