Why isn't there any mention of this game's similarity to the later Pokemon series of games? The encountering of creatures in grasses, and being able to run or fight them, the entrance into towns, two main types of buildings therein [Inns, to heal in, like pokecenters, and Marts, like pokemarts,] and even the character design were obviously strong influences on the Pokemon games for the Gameboy.

First, sign your talk posts. Second, because virtually EVERY console RPG has these features, so singling out Pokemon for mention is pretty pointless. Kouban 01:41, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recent Edits

I updated the plot yesterday and most of the article content today. I took a good look at other good articles and FAs and formatted this similarly. It still needs a lot of work, but it's looking better.

TODOS:

• Update ports (include box art and more information for Gameboy color, Super Famicom, Mobile phone information (what network is it on, etc))
• Clean up characters / story
• Mention more about slime / metal slime and it's place in future dragon warrior / dragon quests
• Expand on musical score
• Misc. trivia, add to dev

[edit] Hoimi

I have looked at many Japanese dictionaries, and have never once found one that had Hoimi in it. I believe that this is an incorrect rumor. SMimas 16:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

This is indeed a very incorrect rumor. Hoimi has indeed entered popular language, but nothing more. It is not an accepted word, nor does it means "heal" in Japanese. --Dez26 18:12, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

None of my japanese friends (whom I met on Canada) even knew about Dragon Quest... I was kind of disappointed when I discovered that... Icecypher 14:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Anime?

There was an anime based on this in the 90's that doesn't have an article. It doesn't even have any mention in the "Reception and Legacy" section of this article. It at least needs a mention there if it's not going to have its own article. 66.153.236.8 (talk) 02:42, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nester?

I was looking through this, and did not see anything referenced about why this person was added, and later removed from the game. Any thoughts on if this should be referenced on the article? Sgetz (talk) 14:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

There are repeated mentions in the game of someone called Nester, and eventually you run into this person. Sadly, I don't remember much beyond that despite having replayed the game recently. Kouban (talk) 01:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I remember it being something to do with the fact that Nintendo of America localized this game, and gave it away as a premium with Nintendo Power subscriptions. Nester himself was a character in the Nintendo Power magazines, but I do not know the true tie to this game, but thought it might be something that if someone knows more, should go into this article, and mention that he is removed from later releases.
