Disadvantages to Japan[edit]
Although Dragon Quest games are from Japan, three out of the total four Steam ports cause some trouble to Japan. They can't be purchased if you live in Japan, and/or the Japanese environments are reduced from the original versions (or completely removed). This is an example of the notorious "omakuni" custom.[1]
