FYI- Here are some old discussions from when DQ was its own WikiProject: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Square Enix/Dragon Quest archive and a redirect. ( Guyinblack25 talk 14:54, 10 September 2009 (UTC))
Is there anything in particular anyone wants to work on? I remember I got the series article, III, and VI up to good (2 out of 3's not bad xD ), but I didn't know where to go from there (make them FAs maybe? ) What do you think? EVAUNIT- 666 23:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
As the title says, I made a GAR for the article. Here's the link. GamerPro64 ( talk) 22:54, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
Should developers like Level-5 and their notable staff be under our scope? 陣 内 Jinnai 23:10, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
So DQ 6 is okay now...? Is there a certain game anyone wants to work on right now? EVAUNIT- 666 16:29, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
Does anything else stand out to you as being terrible in the DQ 3 article? EVAUNIT- 666 21:52, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
In particular, I want to address DW 3. Everything in the article seems okay, but the large classes section should be dealt with. My idea, after looking at various Final Fantasy articles, was to condense the class section in this article to a paragraph or two and then move the info to a Dragon Quest Classes article. Ideas? EVAUNIT- 666 16:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
What does Dragon Quest article need before it could be put up as an FAC still? 陣 内 Jinnai 22:46, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
Attention everyone, attention everyone. Dragon Quest is up for FAC. GamerPro64 ( talk) 20:47, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
Beyond the partially translated anime, should we merge the other anime/manga articles with their respective game? Most of it fails WP:NOTPLOT. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:46, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
I've worked on the article a bit and I think it'll be my next GA after III's passed, but I was wondering if you had any suggestions for it. EVAUNIT- 666 21:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
There are 2 outstanding issues for the article before it can be brought up as a GAN. 1> There is still an {{ or}} i put and the soundtrack section needs expanding or combining with another section. 陣 内 Jinnai 23:50, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
Can we get a screenshot of the menu system in DQ8/9? Or do you think File:Dragon quest viii battle.jpg might be better? The one screenshot there doesn't adequately sum up the newer games and if we remove the album image i thin we'll have too few images for an article about a franchise of this size and importance. 陣 内 Jinnai 23:00, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
I recently added information about the history of the key system in the series, which was reverted as alleged original research. Could someone with access to the manuals, old gaming magazines or the games themselves provide some citations? The manuals or item posters should be adequate to back up the statements I added to the Dragon Warrior and Dragon Warrior II articles, however my reverted edit to the Dragon Warrior III article contains both statements which can be backed up by the manual, and statements which would need further citations (specifically, the statement that Dragon Quest III / Dragon Warrior III's key and locked door system became the standard system for the series, which could be easily verified with access to the manuals, but may count as original research). -- Gordon Ecker ( talk) 06:30, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō - i'm nominating this for deletion per earlier discussions. The relevant info has already been copied to DW1 and DW3. If you'd like to comment, feel free to join the discussion. 陣 内 Jinnai 23:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Is undergoing its GAN assessment. If anyone can specifically address the Nintendo Power issue it would be appreciated. 陣 内 Jinnai 07:07, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
If someone can start this article I can help flesh it out. This will likely end of being a list page with links to List of Dragon Quest video games, List of Dragon Quest anime and manga so that both can be covered appropriately. Possibly List of Dragon Quest video games (main series) (or something like that) and List of Dragon Quest video games (spinoff titles) since 2 of the spinoff titles have become well known ( Dragon Quest Monsters & moreso Mystery Dungeon).
If we do this we can also remove the table from Dragon Quest#Spin-offs which may have issues when bringing the article to FAC. 陣 内 Jinnai 01:38, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
Should I do it? ...I'll probably do it eventually anyway, but I was looking for any input : ] ? EVAUNIT 神になった人間 20:58, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering if anyone would take a quick look at the gameplay article and tell me about any glaring problems you see. I'm still building it up, but what should I focus on right now? Congrats on the series article, by the way : ] ? EVAUNIT 神になった人間 20:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
We had an ip edit that claiming the overseas translations were cancelled, but pointed to an invalid source. I wanted to know if anyone could verify whether that's true or not (it would suprise me if it was). 陣 内 Jinnai 22:51, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
Looking through the articles, I think we could push a lot of them for GA status. Maybe have a PR before each. Anything before 9 should be possible as they are already decently verified, with good reception and background info. A few like DQ5 need some cleanup with their plot (specifically characters), but I don't think its a major hurdle. Since DQ article is awaiting A-class this could be a way of pushing recognition of the series up. 陣 内 Jinnai 18:23, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
Ladies and gentlemen. It occurred to me that no one has made Music of the Dragon Quest series yet, as well as any other article relating to it, like in {{ Music of Final Fantasy}}. Would anyone like to make those articles? GamerPro64 ( talk) 14:04, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
Outside of the one partial release in the US I'm not sure any of them can pass WP:N. I also don't see how having a seperate article enhances things either. Before I go on a merging spree, I'd like some input. 陣 内 Jinnai 20:27, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
I think we might want to have a PR on the page. I think its close to FLC criteria. The biggest issue I could see might be adding sources to many of those release dates and statements and maybe expanding the lead. 陣 内 Jinnai 19:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Someone want to gut these articles and merge relevant info to each? Seems like a lot of these remakes are being merged into the main releases for similar reasons. While they pass the GNG, they regurgiatate a lot of plot info and reception and development info can be merged into the main articles without compromising anything. 陣 内 Jinnai 04:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
While editing Dragon Quest, I've run into the issue of whether to use Dragon Quest or Dragon Warrior for talking about the first three games. A lot of the sources use the former, especially sources since SE obtained the rights to the name. However, a lot of older sources also use the older Dragon Warrior names. 陣 内 Jinnai 16:28, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
This is partly a reply to the conversation at [2] The magazine contains a section written by Horii, with the following passage about the addition of Mini Medals into Dragon Quest IV:
ドラクエⅣの世界では、いろんな所に「小さなメダル」が落ちているのでした。 しかし、ゲームクリアとは、まったく関係ありません。 ではなぜ、こんな物をいれたかというと、Ⅱで、紋章を集め、Ⅲでは6つのオーブをさがしましたが、こういった物を集める楽しみも残しておきたかったからです。 かといいて ”Ⅳは宝石を集めなければゲームをクリアできない”ではあまりにワンパターンなので、思いきってゲームクリアとは関係なくしてしまい、見つけた人には、その見つけた数によって、お得なアイテムを上げる!というようにしたのでした。
Translation: In the world of Draque IV there are "Mini Medals" lying around in various places in the world. But, that has nothing to do with clearing the game. Then, the reason that I put such a thing in the game is that in II you collected crests, and III you looked for six orbs, and I wanted the fun of collecting these things in the game. Saying that though, if it were the case that "You can't clear IV without gathering gem stones" it would be just following the same old pattern, so I went and made it something that has nothing to do with clearing the game. The people who find them, depending on how many they find, are given useful items! That's the way I made it.
It might also be of note that he also references the game being scheduled to come out sometime in January, and that the game was completed in July.
On Dai, the outside of the chapter referencing characters that appeared in the "one-shots" there is no editorial comments concerning the story continuing from the one-shots. Though for that, the Dai no Daibouken Perfect Book (pg 72) states that the second set of "one-shots" was written to lay down elements for the story for use in the planned serialization.
The DQ Anime poster only has summaries about the story and characters, with no comment on the similarity between them and DQ III. It does mention the start time and air date of the anime, if an RS is needed for that. SMimas ( talk) 15:0002, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
Dragon Warrior is up for peer review. 陣 内 Jinnai 21:38, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King has been listed for peer review here. Darth Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 03:40, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
