Engine?

[edit]

Does this game run on the same engine as Pokemon Red? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.69.24 (talk) 01:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Location

[edit]

Shouldn't this be at Dragon_Warrior_Monsters with a redirect from quest and not the other way round? This is the English version of wikipedia and they were released in England and America under the former name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.68.15.194 (talk • contribs) .

  • Square Enix has retired the Dragon Warrior trademark name so it is best to follow their transistion to the Dragon Quest trademark. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by J. Nguyen (talk • contribs) .

Reason why move back to its original name

[edit]

User:Raptogoon didn't consult any of us before renaming/moving the article. You don't see the Dragon Quest article with an messy name called, "Dragon Quest/ Dragon Warrior". Wikipedia should just to stick one name and briefly mention that it is called, Dragon Warrior Monsters in North America. Square Enix now uses the Dragon Quest trademark exclusively these days so we should follow them. --Who What Where Nguyen Why 22:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I support moving it back to Dragon Quest Monsters. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since no one else posted (outside of me) since this move was listed here, I just moved it and tidied everything up. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ugly

[edit]

This article is an ugly amalgamation of what should be 4 or 5 articles. Someone needs to split it apart. --John Moser 03:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is already its own stub, so why not break up the other games into their own articles using the names they were released as in the UK and North America. The gameplay section and common elements can remain with this article as a summary of this spin-off series.Zenithian 01:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
i agree that there should be separate articles. if anyone needs help, id gladly help Evaunit666 02:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have split off each individual game into it's own page. – ARC GrittTALK 11:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Caravan Hearts is an Enix game, not Square Enix

[edit]

"The first Dragon Quest game to be released for the Gameboy Advanced and to be released under the Square Enix name." The part about Square Enix is false. You can see "(C)2003 ARMOR PROJECT/BIRD STUDIO/SQUARE ENIX All Rights Reserved." on the official Square Enix site, but when the game was released Square Enix did not exist, and of course in the game and in the box, manual, etc. it says Enix everywhere.

Move Dragon Warrior Monsters (video game) to Dragon Warrior Monsters.

[edit]

It's not really a case of "replacing the series article with the first game", it's more like replacing a redirect to the series article with the first game. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it should be, as the name for the other game's page is confusing. Sgetz (talk) 16:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Joker Box Art

[edit]

I was looking at this page, and see the Japaneses box art for Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker is here, but on the actual Joker Page, the English/North American Box Art is present. My opinion is that this Japanese box art should be deleted and not used at all on this page. Thoughts? Sgetz (talk) 16:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well if we have the English one already, we don't need the Japanese one. Evaunit♥666♥ 02:15, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Should there be any Box Art there? My opinion is that it is not needed as it does not add anything to this page, and instead leave it on the Joker Article. Thoughts? Sgetz (talk) 16:54, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I think you're right. If anything, game screenshots are somewhat useful, but the boxart isn't needed. Evaunit♥666♥ 01:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the Japanese Box Art, and as discussed, have not added anything back, as it does not add anything to this page. Sgetz (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Joker 2

[edit]

On the Woodus website, there is news of a DQM:J2. I won't bother putting it up here, but someone else can if they want =)http://www.woodus.com/den/home.php

Mobile games

[edit]

There are some DQM mobile games that were released only in Japan, such as DQM Wanted! [1]. I don't have much information about them though. --MK (talk) 11:36, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've requested a translation from the japanese article, which from a rough Google translate seems to have some useful content. Mamyles (talk) 01:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Maya's outfit in The Dark Prince and undue weight

[edit]

I removed the sentence that The Dark Prince was "criticized for altering the heroine's [Maya's] design", as both cited sources, Niche Gamer and Sankaku Complex, have been listed as unreliable sources in Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources and Wikipedia:WikiProject Anime and manga/Online reliable sources respectively.

While I found an article from a different source that could be used to support the sentence, an important Wikipedia policy is due weight, and I don't think that a sentence supported by a single (non-unreliable) source about a minor controversy is as important as the other few details about The Dark Prince such as its development studio, so I am not re-adding the sentence with the different source cited.
