| ==Common Themes==
| |
| Every ''Dragon Quest'' game is told primarily through the eyes 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 invariably wishes to take over the world and enslave or destroy humanity. Unlike other game 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 takes 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''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 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.
