Footnotes

  1. This abbrevation is also used officially. For example the name of the official Japanese twitter account is "星のドラゴンクエスト(星ドラ)公式"
  2. The reason that the somewhat unnatural English name is chosen, rather than more natural "Dragon Quest of the Planets", is guessed to be due to a translation glitch.[1]
