===== Square Enix Turns DQVC Back On After Fan Outcry =====
After much outcry, Square Enix has turned the DQVC service back online for Dragon Quest IX as of 24 August 2013.
 
===== Square Enix Shuts Down DQVC Servers Without Warning =====
In late June 2013, Square Enix abruptly shut down the [[DQVC]] online servers for [[Dragon Quest IX]] without any prior notification to fans and users.  Although many fans were expecting the service to be discontinued, most expected some sort of advanced warning from Square Enix or Nintendo prior to its discontinuation.  Thanks to user ignasia for sharing this news.

===== Square Enix and Nintendo Abandon Dragon Quest in North America =====
At the June 2013 E3 video games expo, no new Dragon Quest titles were featured or even mentioned. This seems to indicate that Square Enix and Nintendo are abandoning Dragon Quest in North America and Europe, based on the poor sales of Dragon Quest X on the Wii U in Japan.  While it is possible that the 3DS remake of [[Dragon Quest VII]] might eventually be released worldwide, no titles are being identified as in development with a targeted western release.  Due to mis-management and a poor decision in making Dragon Quest X an online-only, subscription game, North America and Europe are entering a second "dark age" for Dragon Quest similar to 1992-1999.  This wiki will move into a mostly hibernation state due to lack of new available content.  All of the momentum generated by the strong [[Dragon Quest IX]] sales in the summer of 2010 has been wasted by a Square Enix team that could not capitalize on its success in the larger western market.

October 3, 2024
In response to the ongoing controversy surrounding the Denfamico interview, Tokyo M.A.A.D. SPIN released an official two page statement addressing the situation. Specifically, the statement addresses the improper translation of the English word "puritan" into the phrase "sex education" by X.com user Valute News, whose post brought international attention to the interview. Valute News would also issue an apology for the mistranslation before deactivating the account. An English translation of the statement was also announced, but has since been formally delayed.
In addition the Denfamico Gamer youtube video has since been privated, leading to multiple reuploadings across the internet.
September 28, 2024
A round-table interview between Yuji Horii and Kazuhiko Torishima's radio program "Yubo & Mashirito 's Koso Koso", a division of radio station Tokyo M.A.A.D. SPIN, and Denfamico Gamer was held during the 2024 Tokyo Game Show. During this interview Yuji Horii expressed his irritation and disappointment with the Japanese CERO ratings board for demanding the censoring of the female Gadabout, female Warrior, and male Monster Wrangler's designs in order for the HD2D remake of III to be approved for an all-ages rating. Torishima would interject to point out that different nations have different age restriction criteria, singling out America and the UK for the strict narrow-mindedness of their ratings boards by calling the difficulties of doing business within such tight regulations to be ridiculous and frustrating. Torishima also stated that these absurd practices negatively impact Japan as well, to which Horii recalled that older games allowed players to choose between men and women for their characters, but the aforementioned ratings boards now censor the choice to "type 1 or type 2" under the guise of inclusivity. Horii further expressed his bafflement at this specific instance of foreign meddling, wondering what kind of person would even complain about the use of the words men and women in the first place.
The interview became a viral sensation overnight on the social media platform X.com thanks to the user Valute News, exposing the foreign-mandated censorship beyond the video game industry news channels and receiving international coverage through the likes of Forbes magazine, which dubbed the censorship of the decades-old game for modern sensitivity to be stupid. Elon Musk, the owner of X.com, would negatively comment on the situation and spread awareness of Horii's exasperation to millions.

    • Erdrick's Sword is used during an optional boss fight in Final Fantasy XII, and is also the prize for winning that battle.
    • During the release of Dragon Quest IV, Enix held a ceremony attempting to induct the word hoimi into the Japanese language.
    • The MSX version of Dragon Quest II contained a special scene involving the "Dangerous Swimsuit" and the Princess of Moonbrooke.
    • That Borya is the oldest party member in the series, being in his early 70's.
    • Yangus is the strongest party member in the series, reaching a whopping 425 at level 99.
    • Lizzie is the only monster companion to have a full suite of party chat dialogue.
    • Meena is infatuated with caves, dungeons, and underground structures.
    • The Dragonlord's great-great-grandson is the first monster in the series to not attack the player?
    • The Prince of Cannock is often drawn in a coffin or as a weakling in fanart by Japanese fans due to his lackluster statistics and equipment choices in the original Famicom version of Dragon Quest II.
    • Thieves only appear in remake versions of Dragon Quest III.
    • The Princess of Moonbrooke has been depicted with both blonde and pink hair.
    • Healie is the first monster companion in the series.
    • An advertisement for an English translation of the PS1 remake for Dragon Quest IV appears on the back of the instruction manual for Dragon Quest VII, but it was never released.
    • No monster in the series is just called a dragon? Each drake has a descriptive noun in it's name.
    • That Orgodemir is the only final boss in the series immune to Sap?
    • A popular misconception states that the Japanese government has forbidden Square Enix from selling Dragon Quest titles on weekdays to prevent children playing hooky. This was the publisher's own decision after several children skipped school (and adults left work early) to purchase their copy of DQIII.
