Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection Anime Intro [HD] 

The reason DQ hasn't done well in the west is because over 25 years, only 4 games have gotten marketing. You cannot make an entire series popular only advertising 1 game every 4-10 years. On the opposite side, series like Pokemon and Final Fantasy became super popular because they got yearly, sustained marketing. Which Dragon Quest as a series did not get. If Enix, and Later SquareEnix had ever tried to give DQ the level of marketing Final Fantasy got, DQ would have gotten popular.

BEST. VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE. OF ALL TIME.

If only this had a US release.... I'm dying of jealousy here.

Playing the Erdrick Trilogy now, and just finished II on Saturday. I freaking LOVE this. Is it weird this was a perfect “walk down memory lane” despite JUST finishing I and II within the past 9 days? 🤣

Dragon Quest, the love of my gamer life <3

It's epic that at the last part if the video they showed Loto and his decendents standing together.

The classic that brought us final fantasy has now came out from the shadows of RPG's to reveal its true form.

@requiemlarp While not directly connected to DQVIII, Ramia (known as Empyrea throughout 8) is from DQIII. She reveals her true name and nature in the end of 8, and mentions something about going to different worlds because the world from DQVIII is no longer in danger, giving the sense that all DQ worlds coexist via different planes or dimensions.

Update 2018 - I want this released on the Switch Remastered and in HD. no reason in 2018 can they not make a Switch multi cart with DQ 1 - 2 - 3 on it.

Even though I don't have a Japanese Wii (nor even speak Japanese, for that matter), I bought this collection, anyway. It makes for a nice addition to my Dragon Quest shelf.

I will always miss akira’s toriyama art, as an artist it influenced my style and my childhood. RIP my friend, we will always miss you…

Man, seeing Erdrick decend down to Alefgard is so nostalgic.

You can tell the creators love and respect their own franchise and fans so much. Like they even went through their own way to create this animation. I wish the Zelda series had these little things like this within the franchise. But they’re both wonderful.

This makes the darn hairs stand up off of my skin! I love Dragon Quest!

Remakes of 1, 2 and 3 in the kind of cel-shaded style like this for the Switch would be my dream!

I love how the Hero's official party is a Female Soldier and Female Cleric. But yes, this is pretty awesome. The tell-tale 'falling into Alefgard' falling light sequence is really cool.

Excellent opening movie !! This really shows the beauty and adventure of Dragon Quest's universe
