Dragon Quest Day – Did You Know Gaming? June 29, 2021

Welcome Back to Dragon Quest Day, where we are featuring some of the best independently produced Dragon Quest content from across the web. For years, the YouTube Channel Did You Know Gaming has always produced incredible and tightly edited videos filled with history and trivia about all kinds of game franchises! A few years ago, they produced a video about the Dragon Quest franchise. I know, I’m surprised there was only one too (DYKG is known for putting out new videos over the years covering new trivia about franchises they’ve already talked about) but there’s some great content in this I couldn’t find referenced anywhere else.

This video might be useful for people who would prefer to avoid spoilers, as it mostly just focuses on trivia. A few in-game jokes might be spoiled, but that is all. Take a watch and enjoy!

Dragon Quest Day – Dragon Quest Timeline June 29, 2021

Welcome to Part 2 of Dragon Quest Day, where we are highlighting some of the best independently produced video content across the web about this classic franchise. If you’re new to Dragon Quest like I am, you might be curious on how the games and their stories fit together, so you’ll have a better idea about which game you’ll need to start with or what order you should play the games in. Fear not, this next video is going to help you.

James Rolfe, who is better known across the internet as The Angry Video Game Nerd, did his own Chronologically Confused video about the franchise. While the guy may call himself ANGRY in the title, the video is reference-quality that shows all the connections between the games, and some of the Easter eggs added in the rereleases that add further connections. It is a must watch for people interested in the series.

Warning: Just be aware, he will have spoilers.

Dragon Quest games are available on multiple modern platforms including Nintendo Switch, PS4 and iOS.

Dragon Quest Day – 16-Bit Gems Reviews June 29, 2021

Welcome to Dragon Quest Day, where we are going to devote an entire day’s worth of site content to featuring and highlighting some of the best independently produced Dragon Quest content from across the web! I wanted to start this day with a video series that served as my introduction to the Dragon Quest franchise, the videos produced by Clan of the Grey Wolf.

Clan of the Grey Wolf (which we’ve highlighted in the past) produced what I believe to be the DEFINITIVE History of RPGs video as a prequel to their reviews of the Dragon Quest games. If you’re a casual fan of JRPGs or just RPGs in general you’ll want to watch this.

Now that you’ve seen their history video, let’s take a closer look at their reviews. First up I want to highlight a piece of Square Enix history I would have had no memory of without this video. The fact that a demo for Final Fantasy XII was included with the game Dragon Quest VIII, and most fans of the genre have argued it was the superior RPG. Enjoy.

Next up, here’s a look at their reviews of Dragon Quest I and II. These games were released on the original NES under the name Dragon Warrior, but I have to admit Japan’s box art and promotional material looks a lot better than what we got in the US.

Why did he review those last two games together? Watch this next part and find out. Now, here’s their review of Dragon Quest III.

Dragon Quest I, II and III are available on multiple platforms including the NES, iOS and Nintendo Switch. Dragon Quest VIII is also out on multiple platforms including PS2, 3DS and iOS.
