{{Translation|'''Erdwin'''|ローシュ, Rōshu}} is an important character to the story of ''[[Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age]]''. He is the original Luminary, a courageous hero that was created by [[Yggdrasil]] to defeat the Dark One long ago and restore peace to Erdrea. In the present, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest XI)|Hero]] is his reincarnation.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
Erdwin is a physically fit young man of average height with blue eyes and very spiky black hair. He wears a silver coronet with a blue gemstone and one of his forelocks falls over the headpiece. His outfit consists of a long sky blue tabard with gold edges and the Mark of Light embroidered on the front in red and gold over a black long-sleeved tunic, yellow trousers, leather gloves, leather boots, and metal bands worn on his biceps. He also wears two brown leather belts with gold buckles around his waist and one across his shoulders with a scabbard strapped on his back.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
In the Japanese version, Erdwin's name Rōshu is similar to Rosh, a Hebrew word meaning "head" or "leader". Rosh is a minor Biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. His name in the English and Japanese versions of the game is meant to evoke the legendary hero from the third game, Loto/Erdrick.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Erdwin is modeled after [[Erdrick]], the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' in many ways and his companions are modeled after a party that the player can make.<br />
* The Luminary can dress like Erdwin if he is equipped with Erdwin's coronet and tunic.<br />

<br />
The '''[[Hero]]''' of ''[[Dragon Quest XI]]'', also known as the '''Luminary''', is a young man from the sleepy village of Cobblestone. After participating in a coming-of-age ceremony, he finds out he is the reincarnation of an ancient hero who once saved the world. On his 16th birthday, he sets out on his journey in order to fulfill his destiny.<br />
<br />
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Luminary has been given the default name '''Eleven''' in order to differentiate him from the other three Heroes appearing in the game, following the naming convention seen in the promotional material of other games.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
He is a young man with blue eyes and brown chin-length hair in a bob cut. On his left hand, he bears a mysterious mark that has appeared since the day he was born. The mark glows when the Luminary is in danger. He wears a long, sleeveless brown and purple leather tunic over a black long-sleeved shirt, brown trousers, and tan leather boots. Around his waist, he wears a leather belt with a small bag attached and he carries a scabbard across his back. The Luminary's good looks and hair are commented on by various characters.<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
The Luminary was born into a great destiny, said to be the reincarnation of a great hero who saved the world in the past. He was born on the same day as [[Gemma]], a girl from the village who becomes his childhood friend. On their 16th birthday, the two celebrate together before the young man sets out on his journey to fulfill his destiny. He comes into conflict with the Kingdom of [[Heliodor]], whose king is skeptical of his claims and declares him to be the harbinger of darkness, the infamous Darkspawn.<br />

==Other Appearances==<br />
===''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''===<br />
XI's Hero appears as the default costume for the [[Hero (Super Smash Bros.)|Hero]], along with the Heroes of [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|III]], [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|IV]], and [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|VIII]].<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
A luminary is a person of prominence or great achievement, and the word can also be used to refer to one of the celestial bodies that gives off visible light. Specifically, this latter definition is used for the moon and sun in most astronomical discourse.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* The Luminary is the first protagonist to not be referred to as Yuusha (勇者) in promotional material nor the game itself. Instead, the title of Shujinkō (主人公) is used, which means protagonist in Japanese.<br />
* The Luminary has some similarities with some of the heroes from previous games:<br />
** He comes from a lineage of previous heroes, much like the original [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]] and the [[Prince of Midenhall]].<br />
** He sets out on his journey on his 16th birthday, similar to [[Erdrick]]. As the story advances, he is able to wield the [[Erdrick's sword|Sword of Light]], also known as Erdrick's sword in other games, which is important to the plot. It was wielded by the original Luminary.<br />
** He was born with a mysterious mark on his left hand known as the Mark of Light, much like the Hero of ''[[Dragon Quest VII]]''. It grants him with mysterious powers and glows in times of danger.<br />
** His inability to advance past the second tier of explosive spells is a reference to Erdrick and [[Solo]], who are also only able to learn up to [[Boom]].<br />
**His family connections make him similar to both Erdrick and [[Eight]], as well. The Luminary finds out that his father, Irwin, was a great warrior himself much like [[Ortega]]. He is also secretly a prince from the kingdom of [[Dundrasil]] as revealed by [[Rab]], his maternal grandfather, much like Eight finding out about his royal lineage from his grandfather, [[Chen Mui]].{{spoiler|end}}<br />
* In the international version of the game, there is a special costume that allows him to dress up like the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Hero]] from ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. The outfit was added for Japanese players in the Switch version of the game.<br />
* The Luminary has the same hairstyle as Android 17 of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s Dragon Ball series, as well as a similar physique. <br />
* He is the first hero in the main series to have a voice actor in the English version of the games. English actor Rasmus Hardiker provides his vocal grunts in various scenes and in battle.<br />
* It is revealed at the end of the game by the Yggdragon, the spirit of Yggdrasil, that the Luminary is the first in a line of knights dubbed "Erdrick", thus making him the first Erdrick knight.<br />

[[File:DQ Series logo.png|border|300px|right]]<br />
'''Dragon Quest''' (ドラゴンクエスト ''Doragon Kuesto'') is a series of role-playing games made by [[Yūji Horii]], [[Akira Toriyama]], [[Koichi Sugiyama]] and [[Square Enix]] (originally [[Enix]]) for a variety of video game platforms. 30 years after its debut, it is the all-time best-selling video game series in Japan, and enjoys decent popularity elsewhere as well.<br />
<br />
Each game in the main series of games it titled with the name 'Dragon Quest' followed by a roman numeral. Since 1986, which marked the release of the original ''[[Dragon Quest]]'', ''Dragon Quest'' has so far featured 11 games within the main series, as well as several spin off games. It has also featured two animated productions.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest'' is often compared with the ''Final Fantasy'' series, created by SquareSoft. Although the ''Dragon Quest'' series started before ''[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_(series) Final Fantasy]'', it continues to release titles at a slower paces within the main series (11 versus 15 total games). The two competed for more or less the same market until the companies' merger in 2003, at which point ''Dragon Quest'' became the main financial pillar of the company amidst wavering popularity and unreliable sales of the ''Final Fantasy'' series.<br />
<br />
Installments of the series have appeared on MSX computers, Famicom/NES, Super Famicom/Super NES, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, PlayStation, PlayStation 2 and Wii video game consoles, as well as on several models of mobile phone. As of April 2010, the ''Dragon Quest'' series has sold over [[Worldwide Dragon Quest Sales|53 million units worldwide]]. It is Square Enix's second most successful franchise after ''Final Fantasy'' and is one of the most popular video game franchises in Japan.<br />
<br />
==Common Themes==<br />
Every ''Dragon Quest'' game is told primarily through the eyes of a [[Hero]] named by the player, usually a prophesied "Chosen One" or a similar concept that requires him to rise against a new evil. Often, this evil is a [[Dragonlord]] or some kind of demon, but one that invariably wishes to take over the world and enslave or destroy humanity. Unlike other games in the genre, which have since the turn of the century begun to take on more of a science fiction bent, ''Dragon Quest'' tends to lean more towards traditional fantasy, with medieval technology and trappings. With certain exceptions, most games take place in a world distinct from every other; there is next to no direct continuity between installments, with each game taking place in a world envisioned from the ground up ''ad hoc''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:DQIV_Fleeing.png|right|thumb|255px|Fleeing from enemies in ''Dragon Quest IV'']]<br />
However, ''Dragon Quest I-III and IV-VI'' can be considered related through their storytelling. ''II'' is a direct sequel to the original game, while ''III'' is a prequel that effectively makes a trilogy; ''IV, V, and VI'' each feature the [[Zenithia|Zenithia castle]] as an important plot element, and so fans have come to call them the "Zenithia Trilogy." However, [[Yuji Horii]] has stated that this second group was never intended to be related.<br />
<br />
Magic is frequently an important element, as both an in-battle ability of player-controlled characters and the cause of various world-shaking events.<br />
<br />
As a pioneer in the RPG realm, ''Dragon Quest'' games have a reputation for being "bread and butter" representatives of the genre. The player advances through the game by carrying out pre-determined actions directly related to the progression of the plot, such as collecting a key item or defeating a particular antagonist. Usually, one of his first orders of business is to gather a party of like-minded warriors to join him on his quest. As the party traverses the landscape and various dungeons, they will be forced to fight (or, if they choose, flee from) enemies based on a "random encounter" system. Later in the game, the party often acquires improved transportation that may allow them to avoid such skirmishes. Battles are turn-based; the player delivers combat instructions each turn from an in-battle menu system. Some games feature AI that sees all party members but the Hero character responding to situations based on various factors at hand, sometimes including general orders such as "Attack ferociously" or "Go all-out with magic."<br />
<br />
Defeating enemy characters yields "[[Experience Points]]" (EXP). When a certain number of EXP has been accumulated, the character levels up and becomes stronger, improving in a number of areas represented by statistical values that affect their performance on the battlefield. This system means that if a player finds any part of a ''Dragon Quest'' game too difficult, he can simply fight against weaker enemies until he becomes strong enough to have an easier time of it.<br />
<br />
==Design==<br />
The ''Dragon Quest'' series is primarily the work of three men: [[Yūji Horii]] is the scenario writer and lead designer; [[Akira Toriyama]] is the character designer, bringing in a style reminiscent of his manga works; and [[Kōichi Sugiyama]] handles the music production.<br />
<br />
==Development==<br />
===History===<br />
In 1982, Enix sponsored a national video game programming contest, which brought much of the ''Dragon Quest'' team together, including Yūji Horii. The prize of the competition was a trip to the United States, and a visit to AppleFest '83 in San Francisco, where Horii discovered Wizardry. Koichi Nakamura and Yukinobu Chida, two other winners of the contest, along with Horii, released The Portopia Serial Murder Case for the Famicom for Enix. Sugiyama, already famous for jingles and pop songs, impressed with the group's work, sent a postcard to Enix, commenting on the software. In response, Enix asked him to write music for some of its games. The group then decided to make a console role-playing game, using a combination of ''Wizardry'' and ''Ultima''. ''Dragon Ball'' creator Akira Toriyama, who knew Horii through the manga magazine ''Shonen Jump'', was commissioned to illustrate the characters and monsters to separate the game from other RPGs of the time and the Dragon Quest "team" was born.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest'' was created by Yūji Horii, who has been the scenario director since. The series monster and character designs, as well as box art, are done by famed ''Dragon Ball'' manga artist, Akira Toriyama. All of the music for the ''Dragon Quest'' series has been composed by Koichi Sugiyama. ''Dragon Quest'' games have been developed by [[Chunsoft]], [[Heartbeat]], [[ArtePiazza]], and, starting with ''Dragon Quest VIII'', [[Level-5]]. Horii's own company, [[Armor Project]], is in charge of the ''Dragon Quest'' games, which were published by Enix and, since [[Square Enix Merger|April 2003]] by Square Enix. While Toriyama is the series' character designer, the primary designs are first conceived by Horii, before being handed to Toriyama to re-draw under Horii's supervision. When Horii first created ''Dragon Quest'', most people doubted that a fantasy series with swords and dungeons instead of science fiction would become popular in Japan; but the series has become a phenomenon there.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest'' is not nearly as successful outside Japan, having been eclipsed primarily by ''Final Fantasy'' and possibly by other RPG series. Because of [[Enix America Corporation]]'s closure in the mid 1990's, the SNES versions of ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' were never officially released in North America. In Europe, none of the games have seen release prior to the spin-off ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters (series)|Dragon Warrior Monsters]]'' and then ''[[Dragon Quest VIII|Dragon Quest: Journey of the Cursed King]]''. With the merger of Square and Enix in 2003, the number of places in which ''Dragon Quest'' games are released has greatly increased. In May 2008, Square Enix announced localizations of the Nintendo DS remakes of ''Dragon Quest IV'', ''V'', and ''VI'', collectively called by Square Enix the [[List of Name Changes in the Zenithia Trilogy|Zenithia trilogy]], for North America and the PAL region. With this announcement, all the main games in the ''Dragon Quest'' series will now have seen release outside Japan at least once.<br />
<br />
The ninth installment, ''Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies'', was released in Japan for Nintendo DS in July 11, 2009. In North American it was released a year later in July 11, 2010 and a few days later in Europe on July 23 while Australia and New Zealand got the game the following month on August 10. <br />
<br />
The tenth installment of the main series, ''Dragon Quest X'', is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) and it was released on August 2, 2012 only in Japan for the Wii, Wii U (2013), Microsoft Windows (2013), Android (2013), iOS (2013), Nintendo 3DS (2014), PlayStation 4 (2017) and Nintendo Switch (2017).<br />
<br />
The eleventh installment of the series is Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age, it was released in Japan on July 29, 2017 for the Nintendo 3DS and the Playstation 4. During the release in Japan it was announced that an international version was going to be released in 2018, the date was later confirmed to be September 4, 2018 for North America and Europe.<br />
<br />
===Creation and Design===<br />
"At the time I first made ''Dragon Quest'', role-playing games on the computer were still very much in the realm of hardcore fans and not very accessible to other players. So I decided to create a system that was easy to understand and emotionally involving, and then placed my story within that framework." —Yūji Horii<br />
<br />
Yūji Horii originally used the full-screen map of ''Ultima'' and the battle and stats oriented ''Wizardry'' screen to create the gameplay of ''Dragon Quest''. The first six ''Dragon Quest'' games' stories are divided into two trilogies. The first three games of the series tell the story of the legendary hero known as '''[[Erdrick|Roto]]''' (also known as '''Erdrick''' or '''Loto''' in the American NES and GBC versions, respectively). ''Dragon Quest IV'', ''V'', and ''VI'' are based around a castle in the sky called [[Zenithia]], and are referred to as ''The Tenku'' in Japan, meaning Heaven. The main series from ''Dragon Quest VII'' on are independent of each other and stand alone.<br />
<br />
The typical ''Dragon Quest'' plot involves a certain villain to be defeated at the end of the game, usually one who threatens the world in some way. However, the plotline often consists of smaller stories involving different NPC's the player meets as the adventure goes on.[16] The games themselves feature a number of religious overtones—saving the game (in later games) and reviving characters who have died is performed by clergy in churches. Priests are often seen wandering around the overworld of ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'' and have the ability to heal. The final enemy in some of the ''Dragon Quest'' games is known as the Demon Lord. For instance, in ''Dragon Quest VII'', the Demon Lord, known as [[Orgodemir]] in that particular game, is the final boss, and there is also a sidequest to battle [[God]] himself. The first four ''Dragon Warrior'' titles suffered from substantial censorship in their North American localizations, largely in keeping with Nintendo of America's content guidelines at the time, which placed severe restrictions on religious iconography and mature content. When these games were remade for the Game Boy Color, many of these censorships were taken out. Since ''Dragon Warrior VII'', the games have been kept similar to their original versions when going through localization.<br />
<br />
===Name change===<br />
''Dragon Quest'''s North American name was changed due to a trademark conflict with the role-playing game ''DragonQuest'', which was published by veteran wargame publisher SPI in the 1980s until the company's bankruptcy in 1982 and purchase by TSR, which then published it as an alternate line to ''Dungeons & Dragons'' until 1987. In 2003, Square Enix registered the ''Dragon Quest'' trademark in the United States, and has since not marketed any product under the ''Dragon Warrior'' name since the North America 2005 release of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''.<br />

===Spin-offs===<br />
The franchise also includes several spin-off series, including ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]'' and ''[[Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest]]'', as well as arcade games like the Japanese game ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]''. Several games in both the ''Mystery Dungeon'' and ''Itadaki Street'' series have characters from the ''Dragon Quest'' games.<br />
<br />
In 1993, Chunsoft created a Super Famicom game in Japan for [[Taloon|Torneko]](トルネコ, ''romanized as Torneco''), or Taloon, a fictional character first appearing in ''Dragon Quest IV''. The game, titled ''[[Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' which loosely translates to ''Torneco's Great Adventure: Mysterious Dungeon'', was a roguelike which continued Torneko's story from ''Dragon Quest IV'', where he wished to make his store grow even further by venturing into mysterious dungeons and getting more items for stock. It was very successful, both on namesake and quality. A direct sequel to ''Torneco no Daibouken'' came out in Japan and the United States in 2000 called ''[[Torneko: The Last Hope]]''. This game was very similar to the first, but it is considered much easier by comparison. It was received well enough in Japan to warrant a third direct sequel, on the PlayStation 2, titled ''[[Torneco no Daibouken 3: Fushigi no Dungeon]]''. Both the second and third Torneko games were also ported to the Game Boy Advance. Following the success of Torneko, many other Fushigi no Dungeon games were published by various companies (most of which developed by Chunsoft), among the best known are Chocobo no Fushigina Dungeon and Nightmare of Druaga: Mysterious Dungeon.<br />
<br />
Three spin-offs are played by physically swinging a controller using it as a sword to slash enemies among other things. ''[[Kenshin Dragon Quest]]'' is a stand alone game which comes with the a toy sword as the controller, and a toy shield containing the game's hardware. ''[[Dragon Quest Swords]]'' is an exclusive Wii title which uses the motion sensing abilities of the Wii Remote similarly. Finally, a card-based arcade game, known as ''[[Dragon Quest: Monster Battle Road]]'' and developed by Level-5, was released exclusively in Japan.<br />

==Common Elements==<br />
===Gameplay===<br />
The game player's party walks into a town and buys weapons, armor, and items in order to defeat monsters easily. When the player's party is out of the town, the party is vulnerable to random monster attacks. When players encounter monsters, they have several options from which to choose through menus. The player can attack and defeat the enemy with weapons, magic, or items. The player can also attempt to run away from the fight. The Flee option is available during boss battles but is never successful. After a player wins a battle by defeating all the monsters, the player's party members gain experience points (EXP) in order to gain new levels. When a certain character gains a new level, the [[Stats in Dragon Quest|stats]] of the character are upgraded.[26]<br />
<br />
To save one's progress, the player generally must visit a church or House of Healing and talk to a priest or nun. In the first three games of the main series, saving was accomplished by talking to a king or queen[26], with the exception of ''Dragon Quest'' and ''Dragon Quest II'' in Japan, which used a password system.[27] If the player's party dies in battle, the group will lose half of their gold and the leader of the party warps back to the nearest church. The leader then needs to pay a priest to revive his/her party members. This is only effective in the first six ''Dragon Quest'' games. More recent games in the series have banks in many towns that allow the player to store gold, which prevents it from being lost when the party dies.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest III'', ''Dragon Quest VI'', and ''Dragon Quest VII'' feature several classes to choose for the party members.[8] Each of these installments possesses its own particular set of classes. Typical classes include the Cleric / Priest / Pilgrim, Fighter, Hero, Jester / Goof-Off, Thief, Warrior / Soldier and Wizard / Mage[28][29]. ''Dragon Quest VI'' includes two monster classes[30], and ''Dragon Quest VII'' includes dozens.[31]<br />
<br />
===Monsters===<br />
The series features several recurring monsters, such as Slimes, Drackies, Shadows, Mummies, Trick Bags, and Dragons.[32][33][34] Many of the monsters have been designed by Akira Toriyama. Many of the ''Dragon Quest'' monsters have been featured in the ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' series of games, which allows the player to catch monsters and use them in battle. This idea was also used in ''Dragon Quest V'', although humans fight in battle as well.<br />
<br />
The official mascot of the ''Dragon Quest'' series is the [[Slime]]. A Slime is a small blob with a face, shaped like water droplet. It has appeared in every ''Dragon Quest'' game and it is usually one of the first monsters the player encounters.[35] The Slime's popularity has netted it two spin-offs: ''Slime MoriMori Dragon Quest'' and ''Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime''. They also make a significant showing in the Japanese manga and two-episode anime ''Dragon Half''.<br />
<br />
===Erdrick/Loto===<br />
''see also: [[Erdrick]]''<br />
<br />
'''Erdrick''', also known as '''Roto''' in Japan or '''Loto''' in the North American localization of the Game Boy Color remakes of the first three games, is a legendary hero from the ''Dragon Quest'' series. The first three ''Dragon Quest'' games make up the "Erdrick trilogy", all being connected to the legend of Erdrick. He is known in the game as the hero who freed Alefgard from darkness.[36] The name Erdrick was first mentioned in the English localization, ''Dragon Warrior'' in which the player is referred to as Erdrick's descendent.[37] Erdrick’s legend was completed with the 1991 release of ''Dragon Warrior III''.<br />
<br />
In ''Dragon Warrior'', Erdrick was the ancestor of the [[Hero (Dragon Quest)|Hero]]. The Hero follows in the footsteps of Erdrick to ultimately reach the [[Charlock Castle]] and confront the [[Dragonlord]]. In ''Dragon Warrior II'', the heroes are descendants of Erdrick, and also of the Hero from ''Dragon Warrior''.[38][39] They explore the expanded world of Torland, including Alefgard as seen in the first game. At the end of ''Dragon Warrior III'', the King of Alefgard bestows upon the [[Erdrick|Hero]] "the Order of Erdrick", the country’s highest honor reserved only for true heroes. While this implies Erdrick is merely a title, it is possible to name the Hero Erdrick at the beginning of ''Dragon Warrior III'' if a space is added at the end when naming the hero. In ''Dragon Warrior III'', the origins of the hero Erdrick are revealed; therefore, the chronological order of the first three games is ''Dragon Warrior III'', ''Dragon Warrior'', and then ''Dragon Warrior II''.[40] This chronology is further evidenced in the naming of the hero's weapon, armor and shield. After the events of ''Dragon Warrior III'', the hero's armaments are renamed as the Erdrick (or Loto) Sword and Armor in ''Dragon Warrior'' and ''Dragon Warrior II''.<br />
<br />
The Hero, originally known as Erdrick to many English-speaking players, is also known by two other names. In the original Japanese language games, Erdrick is known exclusively by the name '''Roto''', which is also used by some import gamers. Another romanization of the name is '''Loto''', which was used in place of Erdrick when [[Enix America, Inc.]] re-released ''[[Dragon Quest I & II|Dragon Warrior, Dragon Warrior II]]'', and ''[[Dragon Warrior III]]'' on the Game Boy Color. This was most likely used because the Japanese character (ロ) is not strictly an R or an L sound, but lies somewhere in between. Therefore it is properly transliterated either way.<br />
<br />
In the original ''Final Fantasy'', Square parodies ''Dragon Warrior'' by displaying a grave for Erdrick in the town of Elfland.[41] In retaliation, Enix hid a Cid grave in ''Dragon Quest III''. A parody of Erdrick's sword is wielded by Gilgamesh in ''Final Fantasy XII'': it is referred to as the "Wyrmhero Blade" (In the Japanese version, it is called "Tolo Sword").<br />
<br />
===Zenithia===<br />
''see also: [[Zenithia]]''<br />
<br />
'''Zenithia''', also called '''Zenith Castle''' or simply '''Zenith''', is the name of a fictional sky castle from the series. The first appearance is in ''Dragon Warrior IV'', and the castle is one of several elements from ''Dragon Quest IV'', ''V'', and ''VI'' which suggest the three games are linked as a trilogy; this group is often called the Tenkū (Japanese for Heaven), or the Tenkū no Shiro (Castle in the Sky) trilogy.[42][43] Yūji Horii explained that the trilogy was never intended: "Each ''Dragon Quest'' title represents a fresh start and a new story, so I don't see too much of a connection between the games in the series. I guess it could be said that the imagination of players has brought the titles together in a certain fashion."[44]<br />
<br />
In ''Dragon Warrior IV'', Zenithia can be accessed by climbing the [[Zenithian Tower]] near [[Gottside]], which goes as far up to the sky. It is directly above the entrance to the [[Nadiria|world of darkness]]. In ''Dragon Quest V'', Zenithia has fallen into a lake south of Elheaven. This happened when the Golden Orb, half of a set of magical orbs that supported the castle in the sky, fell from its place. Once recovered and returned to [[Master Dragon]], Zenithia will rise again. This time, the castle can move freely around the sky. In ''Dragon Quest VI'', Zenith Castle is sealed away by Demon Lord Durran, and a giant hole is left behind in its place in the Dream World. After the Dream World returns to its natural state, Zenith Castle is the only part of it that can still be seen floating above the real world. A castle in the ''Dragon Warrior III'' remakes for Super Famicom/Game Boy Color is also called Zenith, though the layout differs from the castle from the Tenku series.[45]<br />
<br />
Square Enix has released the Celestial Sword (the Zenithian Sword) and Sword of Ramias as part of their ''Dragon Quest Legend Items'' series - miniature collectible toy replicas of artifacts from the ''Dragon Quest'' universe.<br />
<br />
==Music==<br />
Several albums of ''Dragon Quest'' music has been released since the original game was made, the first coming out in 1986, based on ''Dragon Quest's'' music.[46] Each of the ''Dragon Quest'' soundtracks have been composed and arranged by [[Kōichi Sugiyama]], who has also composed the music for the games. Since then, an album with the game's title and "Symphonic Suite" has been released for each game in the main series. Aside from the main series of soundtracks, other compilations of ''Dragon Quest'' music have been made, such as ''Dragon Quest Game Music Super Collection Vol. 1''.[47] Many of the soundtracks songs are performed by the London Philharmonic, such as ''Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest Complete CD-Box''.[48] With a few of the soundtracks, a second disc with the original game music is included, like with the original ''Dragon Quest VI'' soundtrack.[49]<br />
<br />
In 2003, SME Visual Works released ''Symphonic Suite Dragon Quest Complete CD-Box'', a box set featuring music from the first seven ''Dragon Quest'' games.[48] Each of the seven discs is broken up by where the music is played in the games. Disc one, for example, has the opening overture song from each of the ''Dragon Quest'' games, whereas disc six features all the battle songs.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest'' is such a cultural phenomenon in Japan that there are live-action ballets, the ''Dragon Quest'' series being the first video game to inspire a ballet,[50][51] musical concerts, and audio CDs based on the ''Dragon Quest'' universe.[6] It was the first video game series to have its music performed live by an orchestra.[52] Since 1987, music from ''Dragon Quest'' has been performed annually in Japanese concert halls.[53]<br />
<br />

*[[Captain N: The Game Master]] - A US cartoon exploring worlds based on various video games.

The episode "I Wish I Was a Wombatman" briefly showed a robotic replica of the Dragonlord as well.<br />
<br />
Additionally, ''Dragon Quest e no Michi'' ("The Road to ''Dragon Quest''") is a manga book based on the creators of ''Dragon Quest'' published by Enix.[5] The one volume manga was produced by Ishimori Productions, a company famous for creating manga based on famous people and businesses. Released in 1990, the manga stars Yujii Hori, Koichi Nakamura (main programmer), Koichi Sugiyama, Akira Toriyama, and Yukinobu Chida (producer) and involves the creation of the series.[5]<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
''See also: [[Worldwide Dragon Quest Sales]]''<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest'' is one of the most popular video game series in Japan.[1][2][55] All of the games in the main series as well as many spin-off games have sold over a million copies, some even selling over four million, and sell very quickly.[56] For instance, the remake of ''Dragon Quest V'' sold 1.3 million copies in Japan in its first two days, which is a very high number for a remake.[57] In 2006, Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu readers voted on the hundred best video games of all time. ''Dragon Quest III'' came in third, ''Dragon Quest VIII'' came in fourth, ''Dragon Quest VII'' came in ninth, ''Dragon Quest V'' came in eleventh, ''Dragon Quest IV'' came in fourteenth, ''Dragon Quest II'' came in seventeenth, ''Dragon Quest'' came in thirtieth, and ''Dragon Quest VI'' came in thirty-fourth.[58]<br />
<br />
The original ''Dragon Quest'' game is often claimed to be the birth of the console role-playing game, despite the fact that it borrows heavily from the Wizardry, The Black Onyx, and Ultima series, and many others consider ''Final Fantasy'' "more important."[3] However, ''Dragon Warrior'' was listed on GameSpot's list of the 15 most influential games of all time, and was called the "most influential role-playing game of all time" and that nearly all RPGs today have roots in its gameplay.[59] The ''Dragon Quest'' series was recognized by Guinness World Records with six world records in the Guinness World Records: Gamer's Edition 2008. These records include, "Best Selling Role Playing Game on the Super Famicon", "Fastest Selling Game in Japan", and "First Video Game Series to Inspire a Ballet".[60]<br />
<br />
Although the series is a phenomenon in Japan, the games did not garner as much attention in North America until the release of ''Dragon Quest VIII'' in 2005.[3] Although the first four games to come to America generally received good reviews, it was not until ''Dragon Warrior VII'' was released did ''Dragon Quest'' become critically acclaimed there.[3] One of the main aspects of the series that critics point out, either positively or negatively, is that the series "never strays from its classic roots".[55] Unlike other modern, complex RPGs, ''Dragon Quest'' retains the simple gameplay from the first game, which many critics find refreshing and nostalgic.[55][61][62] Other critics feel differently about the series, however, and claim that the story, characters, and gameplay have become boring and redundant over the years.[63][64]<br />
<br />
===Rumor===<br />
<small>''The section below requires verification.''</small><br />
<br />
''The series has sold so well in Japan that after [[Dragon Quest III]] was made, the Japanese government put effect a law stating that future games could only be sold on Sundays or holidays.''<br />

During the ''Dragon Quest'' Paradise News Station event at Tokyo Game Show 2018 on September 23, 2018, [[Square Enix]] announced that the Nintendo Switch version will be titled ''Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age S'', with 'S' meaning "Switch," "Special," "Shaberu" (Speaking), and "Seiyuu" (Voice Actor), according to Yuji Horii. ''Dragon Quest XI'' producer Hokuto Okamoto added that "Even though shaberu (speaking) will be taking priority...I think there are some players who would prefer Dragon Quest without voices, and we're keeping that in mind. Horii will be able to say more about that at some point..."<ref>[https://gematsu.com/2018/09/dragon-quest-xi-for-switch-titled-dragon-quest-xi-s#IjL1ZjLTYQFtUKEr.99 Dragon Quest XI for Switch titled Dragon Quest XI S [Update]]</ref> [[Nintendo]] announced during the Nintendo Direct presentation on February 13, 2019 that the Nintendo Switch version will be titled ''Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition'' and will be released during Fall 2019<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6dsxCfdZlk Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition - Nintendo Direct 2.13.2019]</ref>.<br />

<br />
== Gameplay ==<br />
''Dragon Quest XI'' has the same gameplay elements from the previous ''Dragon Quest'' games in the series, in which the players explore and fight against monsters, including the ability to explore high areas. The Nintendo 3DS shows a different style than the PlayStation 4 version. The game's battle system still uses the series' traditional turn-based battle system.<br />
<br />
=== Graphics ===<br />
''Dragon Quest XI'' shows several styles for the Nintendo 3DS and the PlayStation 4. The Nintendo 3DS version shows super deformed graphics which is shown on the top screen and 16-bit styled sprites on the bottom of the screen. However, the split scene between 3D and 2D graphics is not entirely shown in the game, which revealed that it is only like that for the opening stages and after the opening stages, the players can decide which style to play. But the players can switch between its 3D and 2D styles at any time during the game.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/30/dragon-quest-xi-on-3ds-wont-simultaneously-be-in-3d-and-2d-for-the-entire-game/ Dragon Quest XI On 3DS Won’t Simultaneously Play In 3D And 2D For The Entire Game]</ref> The PlayStation 4 version of the game shows an entire 3D style layout with a clear appearance of the area and the monsters. The players has a lot of freedom to walk through many part of the game which the players can even walk through ropes<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/28/dragon-quest-xis-first-3ds-footage-shows-its-2d-and-3d-styles/ Dragon Quest XI’s First 3DS Footage Shows Its 2D And 3D Styles]</ref>.<br />
<br />
=== Battle style ===<br />
''Dragon Quest XI'' is still using its traditional turn-based battle system, which the player and monsters can attack by turns. The player can switch the battle style graphics of the Nintendo 3DS version from 3D to 2D, which the battle system can be toggled after encountering a monster when the players are walking through the field. For the PlayStation 4 version, there are two battle systems as well. With the Free Camera-style, the player can rotate the camera freely and position characters as desired, similar to the style of Dragon Quest X. While using the Classic Camera-style, the player cannot move characters around and camera angles are dynamic, similar to Dragon Quest VIII. Regardless of style, battles are still turn-based.<br />

=== Development ===<br />
The news about ''Dragon Quest XI'' was revealed by its creator [[Yuji Horii]], when saying that he won't release ''Dragon Quest XI'' for smartphones.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/12/26/dragon-quest-xi-wont-smartphones-says-dragon-quest-creator/ Dragon Quest XI Won’t Be For Smartphones Says Dragon Quest Creator]</ref> In April 2014, Yuji Horii teased that he is working on the next ''Dragon Quest'' title.<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/04/28/series-creator-yuji-horii-teasing-dragon-quest-xi/ Could Series Creator Yuji Horii Be Teasing Dragon Quest XI?]</ref> In July 2015, they announced through a Japanese magazine Shonen Jump that they will release a new ''Dragon Quest'' title during a livestream on July 28, 2018. <ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/23/a-new-dragon-quest-title-to-be-announced-in-on-july-28th/ A New Dragon Quest Title To Be Announced In On July 28th]</ref> After the announcement in Shonen Jump, there were been rumours that the newly titled game is in fact ''Dragon Quest XI''. A ''Wall Street Journal Japan'' reporter received a letter of invitation from Square Enix containing that there will be "a new title from main ''Dragon Quest'' series." which the letter fully revealed "a new title from the main ''Dragon Quest'' series for the first time in three years."<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/24/rumor-dragon-quest-xi-to-be-announced-next-week/ Rumor: Dragon Quest XI To Be Announced Next Week]</ref> During the livestream on July 28, 2015, the revealed gameplay footage of ''Dragon Quest XI'', revealing that it will be released for the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation 4. They also said that the PlayStation 4 version uses the [[wikipedia:Unreal Engine 4|Unreal Engine 4]] game engine to create a high quality game.<br />
<br />
''Dragon Quest XI'' producer Hokuto Okamoto confirmed during an interview with Dualshockers on April 8, 2018 that ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will be based off the PlayStation 4 version. He also mentioned that while ''Dragon Quest XI S'' was already part of the outlook when the development team started developing Dragon Quest XI, the game at the time couldn't run on the Nintendo Switch since the SDK (software development kit) wasn't ready within Unreal Engine 4. But the development team is now able to start working on ''Dragon Quest XI S'' since the SDK that supports the Nintendo Switch has been implemented on Unreal Engine 4. However, that SDK only supports a version of Unreal Engine 4 that is higher than the version that the original game is developed on, which means the development team had to update the engine, which comes with its own sets of issues; the developers are in the process of resolving those issues. Square Enix had considered releasing Dragon Quest XI at the same time as the PlayStation 4 and PC versions. But since they don't have a solid input on how long the development for ''Dragon Quest XI S'' will take, they believe it's going to be a long ways out, and they didn't want fans on PlayStation 4 and PC to wait that long to be able to enjoy ''Dragon Quest XI''<ref>[https://www.dualshockers.com/dragon-quest-xi-switch-ps4-3ds/ Square Enix Confirms Dragon Quest XI for Switch Is Based on PS4 Version; Explains Lack of 3DS Version]</ref>.<br />

{{Translation|'''Dragon Quest Rivals'''|ドラゴンクエストライバルズ, ''Doragon Kuesuto Raibaruzu''}} is a digital collectible card game published by [[Square Enix]] in November 2017 for Android and iOS. A PC version has also been announced and will be released at a later date, while a version for the Nintendo Switch was released in February 2019.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
This mobile game lets players create a deck of cards featuring characters and monsters throughout the ''Dragon Quest'' franchise and battle it out in turn-based combat with a variety of different strategies. The gameplay has been described as similar to that of Blizzard Entertainment's card battling game, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearthstone Hearthstone]. Many of the characters that appear in the game have been fully voiced for the first time in the series.<br />
<br />
The player selects a "leader" character to play as and faces off against an enemy leader by summoning monsters, casting spells, or equipping weapons to attack them from their MP pool. The goal is to reduce the other leader's HP to zero. At the beginning of combat, each side has 1 MP and it increases each turn by 1. The playable cards all have their own MP costs, and monster and weapon cards have an attack stat and an HP stat (uses for weapons). Additionally, a leader character can use 1 MP to [[Psyche Up]] and build [[Tension]]. Once a leader has 3 stacks of Tension, they can use their unique [[Coup de Grâce]]. Each leader character also has cards that can be used exclusively by them.<br />

{{Translation|'''Dragon Quest Rivals'''|ドラゴンクエストライバルズ, ''Doragon Kuesuto Raibaruzu''}} is a digital collectible card game published by [[Square Enix]] in November 2017 for Android and iOS. A PC version has also been announced and will be released at a later date, while a version for the Nintendo Switch was released in February 2019.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
This mobile game lets players create a deck of cards featuring characters and monsters throughout the ''Dragon Quest'' franchise and battle it out in turn-based combat with a variety of different strategies. The gameplay has been described as similar to that of Blizzard Entertainment's card battling game, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearthstone Hearthstone]. Many of the characters that appear in the game have been fully voiced for the first time in the series.<br />
<br />
The player selects a "leader" character to play as and faces off against an enemy leader by summoning monsters, casting spells, or equipping weapons to attack them from their MP pool. The goal is to reduce the other leader's HP to zero. At the beginning of combat, each side has 1 MP and it increases each turn by 1. The playable cards all have their own MP costs, and monster and weapon cards have an attack stat and an HP stat (uses for weapons). Additionally, a leader character can use 1 MP to [[Psyche Up]] and build [[Tension]]. Once a leader has 3 stacks of Tension, they can use their unique [[Coup de Grâce]]. Each leader character also has cards that can be used exclusively by them.<br />

'''Meena Mahabala''' (ミネア, '''Minea''' in Japanese, '''Nara''' in the NES localization) is a playable character from ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
Meena is nearly the spitting image of [[Maya]], her older sister. She dresses much more conservatively compared to her sister, though they wear identical headpieces. Meena carries a crystal ball with her everywhere, which she uses to tell fortunes. While she and her sister both have long purple hair, Meena does not have bangs/fringe.<br />
<br />
Meena is an extremely reserved and quiet person, and very rational. This disposition leads her to often scold her sister for her poor judgement regarding their money, and her general laid-back demeanor. But, despite these stern traits, she is still a very kind person at heart, looking out for her sister when the two set out to avenge their father's murder, and charging only a minuscule amount of gold for her fortune-telling services. During her travels with the Chosen, Meena will occasionally have cryptic visions of the near future.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
==={{DQ4}}===<br />
====Story====<br />
Chapter 4 begins with [[Maya]] and Meena performing at the town, [[Laissez Fayre]], which is populated almost entirely by entertainers and tourists. They use their job as a cover and the town as a base to investigate the murder of their father, a prominent alchemist. Though they suspect his apprentice, [[Balzack]], killed him in order to steal the [[Secret of Evolution]], they have nothing to back up their claims, and keep them to themselves for the time being.<br />
<br />
After following the trail through several towns across the entire country, they finally confronted the murderer at his [[Palais de Léon|castle]]. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, his true [[Marquis de Léon|King]] arrives to soundly defeat them in battle and throws them into the dungeon. Luckily, the only other occupant points them to a secret exit, and after they escape, they flee directly to [[Endor]].<br />
<br />
[[File:DQIV_Hero_and_Meena.png|right|border|170px]]<br />
In Chapter 5, Meena is attempting to continue her fortune-telling business, but Maya blows all the gold they'd earned on their journey at the [[Casino]], leaving them fairly stranded in the city. Luckily, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] has been told to seek out his destined allies, and locates Maya and Meena in short order. When Meena reads his fortune, she realizes that he is the prophesied hero and immediately joins the party.<br />
<br />
The two are briefly separated in [[Con Cave]] and are approached by demonic doppelgangers of The Hero (while The Hero also battled doppelgangers of the sisters). When coming across the real Hero, Meena is more trusting while Maya quizzed him/her. Afterwards, they regroup and find the [[Symbol of faith]].<br />
<br />
A while later in Chapter 5, the party confronts Balzack, at Castle [[Zamoksva]]. He has used an imperfect version of the Secret of Evolution to become [[Baalzack]], but the party is still able to kill him, avenging the death of the sisters' father at long last.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
[[Image:Meenas_Tarot_Cards.png|right|thumb|290px|''The cards do not lie.'']]<br />
In the ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'' class system, Meena is a [[priest]]. She has sole access to the [[Woosh]] series of spells, which gives her some magical offensive options, but she does lose out on some stronger healing magic.<br />
<br />
As a spell caster, Meena possesses low Strength, Resilience, and HP, but high Wisdom, Luck, and MP, and many useful healing and buff spells. As the sole character with access to the vital [[Insulatle]] spell, she is a crucial ally against the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] and other enemies that rely on breath weapons. Like [[Kiryl]], she has access to some stronger equipment such as swords, spears, and armor, but will be quickly surpassed in physical combat.<br />

====[[Silver Tarot Cards]]====<br />
[[File:Dq4 silver tarot cards.png|right|thumb|Meena's [[Silver Tarot Cards]].|220px]]<br />
One of Meena's most unique traits is her ability to read her [[Silver Tarot Cards]] during battle, with each drawn card causing a unique effect. The effects of the cards ignore any resistances a monster may normally have, save for bosses. If the player orders her to divine more than three times during a single battle, the Fool card will always be drawn. Also, Meena can use the cards outside of battle to read the player's fortune. This will not affect the game, but provides interesting dialogue from the Seer.<br />
<br />
==={{DQ9}}===<br />
Meena appears as one of the special guests at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]]. This could be obtained when the [[DQVC]] was available using Nintendo's Wi-Fi Channel. When spoken to, she gives the player different pieces of her outfit for fulfilling certain conditions.<br />
<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End]]''===<br />
Meena appears as one of the new playable characters in the second game. Her Coup-de-Grâce is [[Starfall]], which summons a meteor shower to strike all her enemies. She uses her tarot cards as her weapon of choice.<br />
<br />
*'''Justice:''' Casts [[Poof]] on all enemies and sends them flying into the blue.<br />
*'''Devil:''' Casts Kasap on all foes.<br />
*'''Death:''' Casts [[Whack]] on one enemy.<br />
*'''Sun:''' Restores a moderate to large amount of health to all allies.<br />
*'''Moon:''' Lowers the accuracy of all enemies.<br />
*'''Strength:''' Casts [[Oomph]] on a random ally<br />
*'''Star:''' Doubles the amount of experience and gold received after the current battle.<br />
*'''Tower:''' Casts [[Zap]] on all enemies. Damage is calculated as Meena's level multiplied between 0.5 and 2.<br />
*'''Fool:''' Casts [[Thwack]] on the entire party!<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
Meena is known as Minea in the original Japanese and Nara in the NES localization. Her English name is the phonetic spelling for the Korean word for twin, Miena.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*There are a pair of sisters in [[Greenthumb Gardens]] who are a reference to Meena and her sister Maya in ''[[Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past]]''.<br />

{{quote|style=1|quote='''''It's hard to believe the lord of darkness, this single being, is threatening the entire world. What gives him the right?! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!!! '''''|source=|console=|align=center|bgcolor=ffe6b3}}<br />
'''Jessica Albert''' is a character originally introduced in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]''. She later appeared in ''[[Itadaki Street Special]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'' and is one of thirteen playable characters in ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below]]''.<br />
<br />
A girl from a good home, Jessica comes from a wealthy family in the small village of [[Alexandria]]. However, contrary to her upbringing, she is unskilled in the social niceties and expected behaviour of her environment, which often leads to conflict with her mother. She joins up with the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] for personal reasons, strengthening the party with her flair for offensive magic. A definite firebrand, Jessica is nothing like her mother, who expects her to be prim and proper in public.<br />
<br />
Magic is far from Jessica's only strength; she is also an outstanding fighter. Whips, staves, knives, and later swords are her weapons of choice.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and personality==<br />
Jessica has red hair in a form of long pigtails with a few strands of it hanging over her face. She wears a purple blouse with sleeves starting at the upper part of her arm. She has a yellow, corsette-like, article of clothing around her stomach and waist which has a auburn belt around it that a small pouch hangs from. She has a long, maroon colored skirt that has a white frill at the bottom. You can see that she has brownish-black tights under the skirt, and pointed, brown shoes, in which the tights are tucked into.<br />
<br />
Jessica possess a sharp tongue, and has a knack for seeing through people. She is a very stubborn and at times aggressive young woman, though her intellect keeps her from making rash decisions. This same wisdom gives her immense skill in the magical arts, learning several spells after only studying for a short period. Due to recent events afflicting the Albert family, Jessica has a slight difficulty in trusting others. This is reflected in the time it takes for her to properly join with the Guv and Yangus, and the prolonged friction between herself and [[Angelo]]. Once a person has proven their sincerity, however, Jessica becomes much more jovial and approachable around them. Coming from old money, Jessica carries an upper-class air about herself and occasionally speaks down to people without meaning to. <br />

! Appearance !! Outfit Name !! Description<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq1.jpg|100px]] || [[Jessica's outfit|Jessica's home attire]] || This is the outfit Jessica is first seen wearing when meeting her, a prim piece that alludes to the Albert family's social standing. This is Jessica's only outfit that doesn't show off her mature curves. She has a white dress shirt with a red tie. Her skirt is long and black.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq0.jpg|100px]] || Jessica's default clothing || This is Jessica's regular clothing, first donned after she vacates the Albert mansion.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq2.jpg|100px]] || [[Dancer's costume]] || This outfit consists of a white bra, and a reddish-orange skirt tied off at the hip.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq3.jpg|100px]] || Bunny Costume || This outfit appears when Jessica wears the [[Bunny suit]], [[Bunny ears]], and [[Fishnet stockings]] at the same time. The result is a black Playboy Bunny outfit. If Jessica has only one or two of the garments equipped, King Trode will demand that the player finish the set on the [[Battle Records]] screen.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq4.jpg|100px]] || [[Magic bikini]] || This outfit has low defense but increases Jessica's magic greatly. This outfit is a blue and yellow bikini with a miniskirt-like article of clothing around her waist.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq5.jpg|100px]] || [[Dangerous Bustier]] || The only purpose of this outfit is to use it in the Alchemy Pot to make the Divine Bustier. And for a little bit of eye candy. It is black with a open slash in the front which is laced to keep from falling apart. It straps around the back and and the part covering her rear is shaped like a heart.<br />
|-<br />
| [[image:Jessicadq6.jpg|100px]] || [[Divine Bustier]] || Jessica's best outfit. It increases her evasion and defense greatly. She has a purple, low-cut bustier that is tied off to a choker, both with golden wing decorations. In the middle of the corset is a gold lacing that shows her skin, but can look like a zipper if not examined closely. The back has gold lacing similar to the front. She has a miniskirt attached to the blouse, but most of her legs are covered by white, decorated with purple and gold, tights that are attached to the bustier by a garter. She wears long, white gloves with a similar decoration as her tights. She has wings (strictly for style) on her back and her pigtails are tied with purple hairbands with gold decorations. This whole outfit strongly resembles the [[Staff of resurrection]].<br />

==Story==<br />
Jessica is introduced after The [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII) |Hero]] and Yangus reach the top of the [[Tower of Alexandria]], mistaking the two as the murderers of her brother, Alistair, who was in truth slain by [[Dhoulmagus]]. After witnessing a vision of her brother's demise and learning it was the evil jester, she has a change of heart and resolves to avenge her sibling. However, her mother Rosalind initially refuses, causing a very vocal falling out between the two. Jessica is next seen in [[Port Prospect]], demanding that the ferry transport her to [[Peregrin Quay]] in spite of the danger posed by a [[Khalamari|sea monster]] just outside the harbor. Noticing the group, she reintroduces herself and apologies for her actions in the tower.<br />
<br />
After joining the group and traveling to the [[Maella Abbey]], Jessica plays a key role in wringing in the flirtatious Angelo to the group's cause. Later on, after destroying Dhoulmagus in a [[Dark Ruins|profane temple]], Jessica retrieves the scepter from the jester's ashes to return it to castle Trodain and is suddenly [[Evil Jessica|possessed]] by its dark power. After a difficult battle in the town of [[Arcadia]], Jessica is freed from the staff's influence and explains the truth about the party's real enemy. By the end of the story, Jessica has reconciled with her mother and informs the player of what has transpired after the defeat of [[Rhapthorne]]. During the ending credits montage, Jessica is shown entertaining a group of children with her spells.<br />
<br />
{{spoiler|start}}<br />
It's strongly implied that Jessica harbors feelings for the Hero, but appears to accept that he is in love with [[Medea|Princess Medea]]. In the 3DS remake of the game, the player is given the choice of pursuing a relationship with Jessica or Medea. As with the marriage to Medea, in order to have The Hero marry Jessica, the [[Argon ring]] must be obtained.<br />

<br />
'''Alena''' (アリーナ, ''Ariina'') is a protagonist in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]''. She is the princess (Tsarevna in later localizations) of [[Zamoksva]], but dreams of becoming the strongest fighter alive. Against the will of her father, she embarks on a journey to prove her strength to the world, accompanied by [[Kiryl]] and [[Borya]].<br />
<br />
==Characteristics==<br />
With her cape and pointed hat, Alena somewhat resembles the female [[mage]] from ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', though she possesses no magical aptitude at all. Though regarded by some as a tomboy, Alena does not forgo her feminine side; she is simply too concerned with improving her strength to be tied down by bothersome traditions and dictations of "proper" conduct. Nevertheless, she does enjoy adding the occasional accessory to her attire.<br />
<br />
Alena is a definitive spitfire, unafraid to speak her mind and dead-set on reaching her goals. Despite her high aspirations, Alena is far from the stereotypically serious martial artist, and sees the world around her with the wide eyes of wonder befitting her age. She tires of being coddled by her father and the inhabitants of Castle Zamoksva, and is eager to see the world that she knows exists beyond her bedroom window. Though very stubborn, Alena is far from thick-headed; she immediately jumps on board when faced with her destiny of helping the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero]] counter the threat the [[Estark|Lord of the Underworld]] posses to the world.<br />
<br />
Alena has a very competitive nature as well as a love for fighting. As seen through her party chat, she is always itching for sparring opponents to improve her own fighting skills, which is usually the first thing on her mind. When first meeting [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the Hero]], who is looking for the same item she is, Alena declares the search as a competition for who can find the [[Feverfew roots|Feverfew seed]] first. Alena is shown to care greatly for her father and her kingdom, visibly being very concerned when the entire populace of Zamoksva disappeared, and when Kiryl fell under a deadly illness. Later, Alena shows righteous anger when discovering that the monsters were behind the disappearances and develops an unfaltering resolve to defeat the Lord of the Underworld so that her people may return.<br />
<br />
=={{DQ4}}==<br />
Chapter 2 begins with Alena begging her father, the King of Zamoksva, to let her explore the world, since strong fighters are needed more and more in their troubled times, with the Underworld creeping out of dormancy. However, he refuses, saying that with monsters showing increasing aggression, it's simply too dangerous to let her leave the safety of the castle. Alena goes back to her room but, within a few minutes, has been overcome with frustration and escapes the castle.<br />
[[File:DQ4-NES-ALENA-PARTY-IN-TOWN.jpg|left|250px|thumb|Alena traveling through a town alongside [[Kiryl]], and [[Borya]] in the NES version of ''Dragon Quest IV''.]]<br />
Kiryl and Borya, her retainers, give chase; they're resigned to not being able to make her stay put, but if she's going to leave, they can't allow her to travel alone. The three set out and soon come to a small village being terrorized by a local monster continually demanding young girls as a sacrifice. Alena immediately heads to the local church to offer herself as the next sacrifice, but she has no intention of dying; as soon as the demon shows its face, she, Kiryl, and Borya spring into action and take it out, saving the village.<br />
<br />
After journeying straight to the far ends of Zamoksva, the nomadic [[Desert Bazaar]], she learns her father is has become mute. Retrieving some [[birdsong nectar]] to treat him, he admits that he was mistaken in his over-protectiveness, and opens the [[Zamoksva/Endor Teleportal|Travel Gate to Endor]]. On arrival, Alena finds the local princess bemoaning her fate, because her father has promised her hand to the winner of the [[Tournament of Endor|Tournament]] of [[Endor]], an annual fighting competition, and her father is seriously regretting this promise. Though she hears rumblings of an extremely dangerous entrant named Psaro the Manslayer, Alena enters and gets to the finals, only to find that her opponent, who would have been Psaro, was a no show. By winning the tournament, Alena absolve the Princess of her duty.<br />
<br />
However, even as she is celebrating her victory a Zamoksva soldier rushes in and cries that she must return to the castle at once, then dies at the scene. The party returns to the Castle but finds it completely devoid of life. They set out to investigate and the chapter ends abruptly.<br />
<br />
Alena and her companions are not seen again until Chapter 5, when Kiryl has fallen under a dangerous fever and is bedridden at [[Mintos]]. Alena and a band of three mercenaries set out to the weed's reported location to try and recover some to cure Kiryl, but fails. However, the [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|Hero of ''Dragon Quest IV'']] succeeds, and upon learning of their destiny the three immediately join the party for the remainder of the game. Some time later, they return to Zamoksva, finding the cause of its troubles to be the demon [[Balzack|Baalzack]], whom they kill in retribution and for the greater good.<br />
<br />
===Stats===<br />
Alena corresponds to the [[martial artist]] vocation. She has high strength, hit points, and agility; however her equipment selection is somewhat limited (compared to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the hero]], [[Ragnar]], and [[Torneko]]). She can wear most armor up to chain mail, but can wield only clubs, whips and her special weapon, claws. Due to her stat progression, she has the highest luck of all party members, enabling her to frequently dodge debilitating spells.<br />
<br />
Additionally, Alena's critical hit formula is very different from the other chosen; instead of a fixed 1/64 chance, her ratio is dependant on her level. In the NES and PSX version, the formula is ''LvL/256'', while in the Nintendo DS remake it is calculated as ''LvL(3/4)/256''. Both will cap at level 64, giving probabilities up to 25% and 19% respectively. Interestingly, her formula was changed yet again for the iOS/Android versions with her cap being changed to level '''89''', restoring the 25% ratio.<br />

<br />
'''Torneko Taloon''' ('''Torneko''' in Japanese, '''Taloon''' in the NES localization) is a character in ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'', ''[[Torneko: The Last Hope]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. In Japan, he was also featured in the games ''[[Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest Characters: Torneko no Daibōken 3]].''<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
Torneko wears a loose muumuu, chosen for comfort and practicality over fashionability. He hefts a giant backpack of sorts at all times, which he uses to hold his wares, personal belongings and, presumably, some of the party's items. He has a mustache and huge belly, both of which help to bring out his general jolliness. He has blue hair and a blue mustache.<br />
<br />
He is initially compelled to leave his quiet home due to an unquenchable wanderlust; his wife is very understanding and promises to look after their home and child while Torneko runs off in search of wealth and adventure.<br />
<br />
Even though much of his time and effort goes toward accruing [[gold coin]]s, he doesn't do this out of greed, but to make his wife happy and for altruistic endeavors. Overall, he is a very kind person. On multiple occasions Torneko goes out of his way to help others in need, regardless of whether it will benefit him for doing so or not (examples including delivering [[Regan|Prince Regan's]] love letter to [[Veronica]], and smuggling a [[Chimera Wing]] to [[Finn]] so he can escape jail).<br />
<br />
While not necessarily greedy, Torneko has the typical mindset of a merchant, always looking for opportunities to set up shop and make a profit, even at rather inopportune times and locations. While Torneko appears to be loyal to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the hero]] to the end, he jokes about leaving the party after having collected the [[Zenithian Equipment]] since that was his original goal to begin with. He does seem to have a rather cowardly side. As seen in the party chat, Torneko would sometimes volunteer to remain behind in the wagon right before facing a formidable adversary, only to claim he was kidding right afterwards. Torneko is often noted by his boss to be lazy. This is further seen when he meets the Hero, [[Meena]] and [[Maya]] at [[Pharos Beacon]]. Since he considered the monsters too tough for him to handle himself, he sticks the task of restoring light to the flames to the others before heading back to [[Porthtrunnel]] (although this action could be somewhat justified by the fact that Torneko had a bounty on his head for rebuilding the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]]).<br />
<br />
Although he can equip almost any weapon he likes, Torneko is pictured holding the [[Astraea's abacus]] in the official character art for ''[[Dragon Quest Heroes II: Twin Kings and the Prophecy's End|Dragon Quest Heroes II]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearances==<br />
==={{DQ4}}===<br />
====Story====<br />
Torneko wakes up in Chapter 3 in his house in [[Lakanaba]] to work his job at the local weapons shop while supporting his wife [[Tessie]] and his son Tipper. However, he feels that this life is not good enough for him, so he sets on a journey to fulfill his dream, which is to own a shop. He then hears about the [[Steel Strongbox]] that allows him to travel anywhere without worrying about dying, because it keeps all of the [[Gold_coin|Gold]] when he dies, instead of taking half of it.<br />
<br />
Torneko ends up getting the strongbox in a cave up north and heads south to [[Ballymoral]], where he comes across Old Man Finnegan's son Finn who is in prison and asks him for a [[chimaera wing]] to return home to Lakanaba, which Torneko does. While at the castle, he learns of Archie O'Tect, who was supposed to repair the bridge between Ballymoral and [[Endor]], and that he hasn't arrived. He manages to find the architect in the north in what appeared to be a town called [[Reginhart]].<br />
<br />
Hearing of some foxes in the area, however, Torneko returns to Lakanaba to request the use of Finn's dog [[Fido]] to seek out a fox, which proves to be successful. As a result, Archie resumes his duty to repair the bridge. Thus, Torneko heads to Endor, but not before receiving a [[Prince's Letter|letter]] from Prince [[Regan]] to give to Princess [[Veronica (Dragon Quest IV)|Veronica]] in the other castle.<br />
<br />
Torneko made it to the castle and meets an old man who wants to sell his shop to someone with permission from King Norman. The King states that he will consider the merchant's request. While in the throne room, he reads the letter to The Princess detailing that King Shamus of Ballymoral is seeking to conquer Endor, prompting Endor's King to give him the [[Royal Scroll]] (which is a request for the children of both castles to marry, and thus avoiding the need to go to war).<br />
<br />
Torneko delivers the Scroll to King Shamus, who agrees to dismiss his plans. Soon after, King Norman allows the merchant to open [[Torneko's shop|a shop]], which he does and calls his family over to their new home.<br />
<br />
Afterwards, Torneko's attention is turned toward an old man who wanted to continue developing the [[Trans-Montane Tunnel]] which will lead from Endor to the country of [[Casabranca]]. He needed 60,000 gold coins to achieve this, which Torneko helped out with (through making money at his shop, as well as providing a set of [[Steel broadsword]]s and [[Iron armour]]s to Endor's warriors).<br />
<br />
Once the tunnel is completed, Torneko traveled through on behalf of the old man and accepts the task of carrying on his dream by traveling the world by [[ship]] and gathering many legendary treasures.<br />
<br />
He managed to cross the desert at [[Last Chance Saloon]] through the aid of a caravan,<ref>Mentioned by the treasure room guard at Casabranca during the day.</ref> and passed through [[Bath]]<ref>mentioned by a residence at night in a house.</ref>.<br />
<br />
Torneko made it to [[Porthtrunnel]] and paid to have a ship made, while hearing of an [[Conrad Hilton|old man]] in [[Mintos]] who has a [[Treasure map (Dragon Quest IV)|treasure map]]. He left upon hearing of monsters who corrupted the lighthouse fire at [[Pharos Beacon]] to restore peace to the oceans. Upon finding the monsters to be too strong, he made a plea to [[Hero (Dragon Quest IV)|the Hero]] and company to find the [[Holy Embers]] and to defeat the ones causing the problems at the lighthouse. They agree to do so, and are joined by Torneko shortly after, who provides use of his ship for travels.<br />
<br />
Upon defeating [[Psaro the Manslayer]] ([[Aamon]] in the remakes), the party returns to their lives with Torneko, returning to his family in Endor, and later showing up with the group in [[Hidden Valley]] to see the Hero.<br />
<br />
====Abilities====<br />
[[Image:Torneko_wearing_ring.png|right|thumb|250px|"Look at it ''spar''-kle!"]]<br />
In the ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' class system, Taloon has elements of both a [[Merchant]] and a [[Gadabout]]. As a merchant, he can protect the party's gold when they go down, and use his [[appraise]] ability to give basic information and loss/return estimates on items in the party's possession. However, he also has the goof-off's tendency to not follow orders in battle, bellowing loudly, staring blankly into space, or telling naff gags when ordered to attack. He can equip most weapons and armour, and has respectable HP and level growth, and is otherwise a decent fighter; however, his defence leaves something to be desired.<br />

====Random Antics====<br />
As mentioned previously, Torneko will not always follow the order of the player, instead opting to try something else. <br />

<br />
<br />
In the PSX, DS, and phone versions Torneko will goof off a little less often and some actions are removed. However, this increases the probability that he will steal from an enemy when slacking around now.<br />

Torneko appears at the [[inn]] of [[Reaper's Peak]] and is surprised by there being a town within the [[Fungeon (Dragon Quest VI)|Fungeon]]. He is impressed by the fact that [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|the Hero]] explored it.<br />
<br />
==={{DQ8}}===<br />
In ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]'', in the [[Monster Arena]] Rank S series of fights, the first fight is fought against a character that is named, and bares a striking resemblance to Torneko Taloon. The announcer reinforces this by saying the character is from [[Lakanaba]]. He uses treasure based monsters; two [[Goodybag]] monsters and a [[Mimic king]].<br />
<br />
==={{DQ9}}===<br />
On December 10, 2010, Torneko began appearing as a special guest at the [[Quester's Rest]] in [[Stornway]].<br />
<br />
==Other Appearances==<br />
===''[[Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Special]]''===<br />
Along with [[Ragnar]], [[Kiryl]], and [[Alena]], Torneko appears in ''Itadaki Street Special''. Unlike the other characters, he is not playable, but makes a cameo as an NPC who sticks around a short while.<br />
<br />
===''Mystery Dungeon'' Series===<br />
Torneko has appeared as the main character in three of the ''[[Mystery Dungeon]]'' games, usually with his wife and son as secondary characters: ''[[Torneko no Daibōken: Fushigi no Dungeon]]'', ''[[Torneko: The Last Hope]]'', and ''[[Dragon Quest Characters: Torneko no Daibōken 3]]''. He also appeared in ''[[Dragon Quest: Shōnen Yangus to Fushigi no Dungeon|Dragon Quest: Young Yangus and the Mysterious Dungeon]]'', although in a supporting role.<br />
<br />
==Names==<br />
In the [[DS]] remake of ''Dragon Quest IV'', Taloon's given name is Torneko, his Japanese name. In fact, his last name is Taloon, similar to how [[Ryan]] became "Ragnar McRyan."<br />

{{Translation|'''Dragon Quest Rivals'''|ドラゴンクエストライバルズ, ''Doragon Kuesuto Raibaruzu''}} is a digital collectible card game published by [[Square Enix]] in November 2017 for Android and iOS. A PC version has also been announced and will be released at a later date, while a version for the Nintendo Switch was released in February 2019.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
This mobile game lets players create a deck of cards featuring characters and monsters throughout the ''Dragon Quest'' franchise and battle it out in turn-based combat with a variety of different strategies. The gameplay has been described as similar to that of Blizzard Entertainment's card battling game, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearthstone Hearthstone]. Many of the characters that appear in the game have been fully voiced for the first time in the series.<br />
<br />
The player selects a "leader" character to play as and faces off against an enemy leader by summoning monsters, casting spells, or equipping weapons to attack them from their MP pool. The goal is to reduce the other leader's HP to zero. At the beginning of combat, each side has 1 MP and it increases each turn by 1. The playable cards all have their own MP costs, and monster and weapon cards have an attack stat and an HP stat (uses for weapons). Additionally, a leader character can use 1 MP to [[Psyche Up]] and build [[Tension]]. Once a leader has 3 stacks of Tension, they can use their unique [[Coup de Grâce]]. Each leader character also has cards that can be used exclusively by them.<br />

{{quote|style=1|quote='''''I bet they were head over heels in love when they got married. And then she died before they had time to get sick of each other. It's the perfect love story.'''''|source=|console=|align=center|bgcolor=fa8072}}<br />
'''Angelo''' (ククール, ''Kukūru'') is a playable character in ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]''. He is a complicated man who hides his somber past behind an ambivalent, suave mask of a gambler and playboy. Though seemingly indifferent to the plights of others and even coming off as condescending at times, Angelo is nevertheless a dependable companion and an asset to the party's efforts.<br />
<br />
As a knight of the Templars, Angelo is a master of restorative and defensive magic, and has access to wind and instant death spells, as well. His weapons of choice consist of [[sword]]s (particularly rapiers), [[bow]]s, and [[Wand|staves]].<br />
<br />
==Story==<br />
After losing his parents at a young age, he was brought in by Francisco, the abbot of Maella Abbey, like many other orphans. He grew up to be on of the Templar Knights, responsible for the abbey's protection. He likes to gamble and drink, making him a disgrace in the other templars' eyes, but he has the favour of Abbot Francisco. His half-brother Marcello, head of the Templar Knights, considers Angelo to be the cause of his sorrows. Marcello orders him to join the party after the events at Maella Abbey.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
Angelo is an attractive young man with silver-white hair that frames his face and a long ponytail that reaches halfway down his back tied with a black ribbon. He has blue eyes and wears small gold hoop earrings on each ear. Although he is a member of the Templars, Angelo wears a unique red version of the uniform, which consists of a red long-sleeved tailcoat with white lining and brass buttons on the front and two long tails on the back worn over a black long-sleeved shirt, red trousers, and a red capelet with black lining that reaches down to his hips which he wears over his torso. He wears dark brown shoes covered by white spats with brass buttons on the outsides that reach up and cover his knees, as well dark brown leather gloves. He wears his [[templar's ring]] on his right hand. Angelo also wears a leather sword belt around his waist with a green scabbard on his right side where he holds his rapier. He is left-handed.<br />
<br />
Angelo marches to the beat of his own drum, caring little of his religious and ceremonial roles at the abbey (although his swordsmanship and bow proficiency are impressive enough for him to become a Templar knight). He's more interested in hustling the rubes at nearby Simpleton and chasing ladies than in carrying out the duties of his station, and his party chat dialogue proves him to be very fussy at times, especially concerning his appearance. He is a playboy who constantly comments on the attractiveness of women he comes across on the journey. Angelo is something of a joker as well, and enjoys poking fun at people with serious attitudes at their own expense, such as his half-brother. Despite all this, when push comes to shove, he will go to extraordinary lengths to see things through; even outshining the rising star, Marcello, to save Abbot Francisco not long after meeting the party. The rest of the time, he wants to be carried around by his free spirit, as captured in one of his remarks prior to undertaking the Dragovian Trials:<br />
<br />
"If there's one thing I hate in this life, it's a trial. What kind of masochistic lunatic would come all the way up here to endure a grueling, not to mention tedious, challenge?"<br />
<br />
There are a few other characters worth remarking on. Marcello is Angelo's half brother, a character with a zealous hatred of the nobility. That, as the illegitimate son of one of his father's house servants, he was disowned by his aristocratic family imbues him with a desire to stick it to well-bred institutions--and their members--everywhere. He despises his half-brother, while he and Angelo are outwardly quite similar, the difference between the two is rather apparent.<br />

<br />
*Angelo also boasts a 25% resistance to ice-type damage.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
Angelo learns a variety of spells and a decent amount of physical skills, though as a [[Priest]] he is naturally at his best when healing his companions. He can learn to use a sword but his proficiency is outclassed by the Hero, making it an inadvisable path for him. It is a good idea to level up Angelo's staff skill to increase his MP and spell repertoire. His Charisma skills are excellent for countering tension-happy foes as well as inflicting status ailments, and Pearly Gates is a fantastic crowd control ability during the end-game. Angelo's physical strength shines most when using a bow, however, as most bow skills cause debilitating affects that can shut down foes before they even get a chance to strike. Bows will allow Angelo to easily recharge his MP in battle without the use of items, which is a valuable asset as the party's main healer.<br />

{{quote|style=1|quote='''''Whatever you do in life, make sure you're winning.'''''|source=|console=|align=center|bgcolor=66b3ff}}<br />
'''Terry''' (テリー ''Terii'') the blue swordsman is a brash, arrogant character in ''[[Dragon Quest VI]]'' who joins the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]]'s party later in the game. Prior to joining he is encountered several times throughout the story, beating the party to the in various goals and reaping the rewards for himself.<br />
As a child, Terry was the main character of ''[[Dragon Quest Monsters]]''.<br />
<br />
==Appearance and Personality==<br />
Terry wears a blue cap to cover his white hair, a blue tunic with matching gloves over a black undershirt, and white pants capped with black boots. The tunic is partially covered with a section of [[Leather armour]], and he carries a satchel at his side.<br />
<br />
Terry is the archetypal "lone wolf" in that he prefers to work alone and hates to depend on others. While he is not strictly anti-social, Terry is very condescending towards others and speaks in a terse manner. This bellicose attitude stems from his profound (and well hidden) loneliness, as shown in his [[Lucky Dip]] antics. That being said, he is still a good person at heart and is strongly implied to have saved several people from the jaws of monsters during his travels, most notably Donna the bar maid from [[Port Prospect]].<br />
<br />
As a child, Terry is much more kind and social. Throughout his journey in the [[GreatTree|Kingdom of GreatTree]], Terry is always willing to help those in need. Unlike his older counterpart, Terry is eager to and willing to make friends with his companions and rivals. In addition, Terry helps others out of kindness and compassion, rather than any thoughts of rewards and making a name for himself like his adult self would do.<br />
<br />
==Background==<br />
{{spoiler|start}}<br />
===''Dragon Quest Monsters''===<br />
When Terry was very young. he witnessed his older sister [[Milly]] be abducted by a creature called [[Warubou]] to the distant kingdom of [[GreatLog]]. A few moments later, a similar creature known as [[Watabou]] appeared and took Terry to the kingdom of [[GreatTree]]. Terry only wanted to find his sister, but the king of GreatTree, convinced him to become a monster tamer and win the [[Starry Night Tournament]]. The king stated that if Terry were to win the tournament, he would be granted any wish he desired. Terry set off to recruit monsters and win the Tournament. After Terry's monsters become powerful enough, he enters the tournament, fighting against the monsters of the champion from [[GreatLog]], who happens to be his sister Milly. After winning the tournament, Terry and his sister are reunited.<br />
<br />
Terry's adult counterpart, as seen in Dragon Quest VI, is encountered a few times inside the final rooms of the gates. Although his identity is not revealed until his last appearance, it is hinted at through cryptic remarks made by NPCs that this mysterious individual happens to look like younger Terry does. Like in Dragon Quest VI, adult Terry is looking for the strongest sword to become the most powerful swordsman in the world. When conversing with his younger self, adult Terry is condescending towards young Terry for his usage of monsters rather than fighting opponents directly. This attitude changes into respect in the Room of Reflection where young Terry defeats Dhuran, a feat that adult Terry could not accomplish, releasing him from Dhuran's control in the process.<br />
<br />
===''Dragon Quest Monsters 2''===<br />
Some time after the Starry Night Tournament, Terry makes a visit to [[GreatLog]]. He can be encountered and battled in the arena after [[Cobi]] or [[Tara]] breeds with all the NPCs and collects 150 monster types. If defeated, Terry offers to breed with the playable character, thus making the game backwards compatible with the original Dragon Quest Monsters. His team consists of [[Watabou]], [[Dhuran]] and [[Great dragon|a great dragon]].<br />
<br />
===''Dragon Quest VI''===<br />
Terry is a talented swordsman, traveling the world to find more powerful weapons and to prove his strength. He is first met by the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|hero]], in the town of [[Arkbolt]], setting out to defeat the [[Lizzie|hacksaurus]] terrorizing [[Wayfarer's Pass|the cave north of town]]. Terry is able to reach the monster first and defeat it in battle. Later, he is met in the [[Everfrost Grotto]] where the [[Zenithian Equipment#Sword of Ramias|Sword of Ramias]] is found. Terry decides to leave the sword for the hero though, since it is all rusty. Finally Terry must be defeated in battle before the [[Zenithia|Cloudsgate Citadel]] can reappear in the [[Phantom World]]. Once [[Dhuran]], the boss imprisoning [[Zenithia|Cloudsgate Citadel]] is defeated, Terry will join the hero's party.<br />
<br />
Terry initially goes on his quest to become more powerful, because he was unable to protect his older sister [[Milly]] while growing up in [[Felonia]]. She was taken away by the king's men to be added to his "collection" when they were younger, and Terry was left critically injured after stabbing the chief assailant during the abduction. Clinging to life, Terry escaped Felonia and swore to become the world's most powerful swordsman to save his sister.<br />
As the years grew longer and the battles more intense, Terry lost sight of his original goal, and doesn't even recognize [[Milly]] when he first sees her. Once Terry is defeated, he and [[Milly]] are reunited and reconcile.<br />
<br />
After the heroes defeat the Demon Lord [[Mortamor]], Terry and Milly finally reunite with their parents back home in Felonia. Depending on whether the bonus dungeon was explored or not, Terry will either notice the Liquid Metal Slime vocation scroll or engage [[Nokturnus]] in a solo battle, the outcome of which is not known. Afterwards, Terry will join his sister and the rest of the gang in observing the birth of the [[Zenith Dragon]] through Madame Luca's crystal ball.<br />

==Remake changes==<br />
*In the original Super Famicom version of ''VI'', Terry had a base {{fraction|1|16}}(6.25%) chance to dodge physical strikes before his [[agility]] was factored in. This would stack with whatever evasive equipment or vocation benefits he possessed.<br />
*In the mobile device version released in 2015 Terry received +5 to his strength and +38 to his agility at level 33. This raises his level 99 strength and agility to 335 and 288, respectively.<br />
<br />
==Etymology==<br />
Terry is of Germanic origin, and means ''people's ruler''. It is derived from the older name ''Theodoric''.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
*Terry's design is based on the concept art for the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]], who was initially designed to be shadier and more arrogant than his predecessors. Terry's smug attitude is reflective of this initial design intent.<br />
*Terry is the only character to speak with an American accent in ''DQ Heroes''. This is owing to his voice actor being a native of Virginia before moving to the UK.<br />
*Terry gets a color palette reference for one of the 8 costumes for the Hero in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]. Said palette is given to the base of the Dragon Quest [[Hero (Dragon Quest VIII)|Eight Hero]].<br />

{{Translation|'''Dragon Quest Rivals'''|ドラゴンクエストライバルズ, ''Doragon Kuesuto Raibaruzu''}} is a digital collectible card game published by [[Square Enix]] in November 2017 for Android and iOS. A PC version has also been announced and will be released at a later date, while a version for the Nintendo Switch was released in February 2019.<br />
<br />
==Gameplay==<br />
This mobile game lets players create a deck of cards featuring characters and monsters throughout the ''Dragon Quest'' franchise and battle it out in turn-based combat with a variety of different strategies. The gameplay has been described as similar to that of Blizzard Entertainment's card battling game, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearthstone Hearthstone]. Many of the characters that appear in the game have been fully voiced for the first time in the series.<br />
<br />
The player selects a "leader" character to play as and faces off against an enemy leader by summoning monsters, casting spells, or equipping weapons to attack them from their MP pool. The goal is to reduce the other leader's HP to zero. At the beginning of combat, each side has 1 MP and it increases each turn by 1. The playable cards all have their own MP costs, and monster and weapon cards have an attack stat and an HP stat (uses for weapons). Additionally, a leader character can use 1 MP to [[Psyche Up]] and build [[Tension]]. Once a leader has 3 stacks of Tension, they can use their unique [[Coup de Grâce]]. Each leader character also has cards that can be used exclusively by them.<br />
