[Dragon Quest] The protagonist has a quietly eventful life.

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s a bit unfortunate, isn’t it?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It’s moderately painful.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx51

Is it plain…?

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is there anything more eventful than being captured as a slave, escaping from a waterfall, or being turned to stone?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

(Prince →) Traveler → Slave → Traveler → King → Statue → King

6: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

A life that seems to fit into the top 3 of Dragon Quest protagonists.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>6

I wonder who the third one would be with 4 and 5 as the two top players.

Can’t you go back to your parents’ house?

19: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>15

I’m feeling a bit hazy, maybe 6.

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

Being a slave for 10 years is already tragic enough.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Given their childhood background, it’s questionable whether they can read and write properly.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I have studied enough to be able to read the signs during the era of slavery.

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>9

You were taught how to read by another slave, huh… And that slave is basically dead…

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It probably needed the passage of time thematically.

In that case, making it a hellish life with slaves or conscious petrification is the style of Horii.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it not a bad environment that even slaves can study in…?

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The main story is tough, but I think the happiness afterwards is at the top.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Players can enjoy the game because the difficult parts are resolved in an instant.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

The original source is probably “Journey to Lagos,” but it closely follows the unpleasant parts.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

As a result of living a miserable life, my child turned out to be a hero; it’s a ridiculous and very cliché story.

It seems that Mr. Horii was probably going through a period of parenting at that time.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The period of being a slave and being petrified is too long.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Isn’t it just a plain appearance…?

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Starting as a village fisherman, then saving the world, and returning to being a fisherman again is kind of cool.

The stone tablet caught in the net is to be disregarded.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s just that what you see along the way is mostly terrible, but what the person has done is still just an adventure…

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s okay to include Monsters+, is 2 also quite tragic and good?

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

11 has its ups and downs, but it doesn’t feel too painful.

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>24

Until the departure, I was able to live a relaxed life in the village.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The Lord is tough, but one of the difficult aspects is that the direction is the day after tomorrow.

Because you know, I can’t avenge my father’s murder.

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The thread image depicts a character who has been a slave for 10 years and petrified for 2 years, and has lost their parents, which is indeed quite tragic, but I feel that after clearing the game, they probably end up being the happiest among all the protagonists, so that seems to offset a lot of the negativity.

Personally, I think the third protagonist, who was forced to live as a hero since childhood and ended up being trapped in an unfamiliar land without being able to return home, is the best.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

The wrong petrification was for about 8 years, wasn’t it?

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s safe because my wife is cute.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the novel version, it’s clear that the main character was deeply involved with Bianca on the night before the ending.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The most tear-jerking part of Dragon Quest is when it communicates to the child self that no matter how tough things get, you must not give up.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>31

That’s nice, isn’t it… well, it’s not really nice, but… it is nice, right…

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The main character feels even less rewarded in the remake.

Cynthia should be allowed to come back to life.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There aren’t many painful experiences for 7.

There are a lot of shitty events, but

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

For ten years of living as a slave, it’s a good body.

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>34

Thanks to the old man who was a senior slave, I learned to read and quietly received extra food and care, and I grew up safe, but a few years later, that person also passed away…

A story like that just came to mind.

35: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s nice to know that the hero tasked with defeating the demon king, which was passed down from my father, is my own son…

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In the end, I pretty much got everything.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

After the ED, it can be said that he has not only become the king of a nation but is also in a state of having nearly conquered the world.

In the few other countries, they cannot stand up to the protagonist, and even the richest person in the world has full trust from his father-in-law or not, and even such a god has the protection of the gods.

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

The incident where Papas was heading towards Linehart but ended up going the wrong way makes me think about various things.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

If 8 is the true ending, then I’ll marry the princess and eventually become the king, right?

40: Japan Otaku Reviews

Demon King

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Captive King → Benevolent King

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s tough not being able to see the children grow up, along with the death of my father and being a slave, of course.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

When it becomes the youth chapter, they say you should find your own purpose as a mob, but it’s disappointing that you quickly find the Sword of the Sky and inherit Papas’s goal.

45: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if she gave birth to several more after that.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, I might be better off compared to those who lose, so it might be better than being in the 4th place.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

From the NPC’s dialogue, a handsome man with a distinctive face and mysterious eyes that attract others.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

I love being worried about because my kids say I have a really strange face during our conversations.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also like the reaction when Pipin made that comment beyond the line.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There are many factors that can lead to marriage and having children when you turn 5…

4 is a job that constantly tries to bring the negative back to zero, and it feels lonely.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s sad that Collins is playing tricks on his sons with the hidden staircase, triggering flashbacks of past trauma.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are two periods of time that have passed, and both are painful… like human emotions and such.

54: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The protagonist who spent tough times with Henry has no grudges, but I really like how Sancho can’t forgive Reinhardt.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

The number one character I don’t want to be in Dragon Quest.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>55

If I’m going to become something, it has to be a hero, after all.

I don’t know what kind of life I was living until I was called by the king.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

Rather, isn’t the level of “it’s okay to become that” only around 1, 2, or 8?

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

What about 7?

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s nice that there are quite a few elements that convey the passage of time.

Most of the time, Grandpa from Santa Rosa has completely lost his mind, which is tough…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

That old man seemed to be quite an amazing person when he was young.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

The hardest time at 7 was probably when I broke up with the stupid prince… although he has been a close friend since a long time ago.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>57

Maribel is such a generous pooper for the player.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>63

Ska is a bit…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s so sad to see the four protagonists collapse in the PS version ending.

If Cynthia hadn’t come back to life, wouldn’t she have been dead?

61: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Considering the level of recognition, I think they would rank in the top three as a protagonist who is quite troubled throughout the game.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I will crush everything with these muscles trained from boulder rolling.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s 11, I want to be a little bit like that.

It’s tough, but all my friends are just too great.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

After Maribel’s departure, it was tough not only in terms of combat strength but also because the refreshing dialogue was gone.

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s fine until you go on a trip, but the aftermath is really tough.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Honestly, I don’t want to go on a life-risking adventure to defeat the Demon King at all.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

When 7 becomes the person, they will get angry at Kiefer…

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I guess life will be smooth sailing after the ending, so I might be rewarded in a way…

Considering the circumstances leading up to that, it’s surprising that you haven’t fallen into darkness.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

A plain-looking handsome guy who is quite popular.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

Although 7 has a ton of MAX stress events, their personal environment is favorable.

The bride has been here from the beginning.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

After the big adventure, I guess he’ll just become a fisherman like a normal fisherman’s son and marry the net maker’s daughter…

It’s nice, isn’t it?

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

The ending where they end up together on a ship watching the sea in the DS version… is really nice.

75: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The protagonist doesn’t go through anything too terrible, but I don’t really like the idea of experiencing that gloomy story over and over.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s also an ideal adventure, but it often seems like I’m going to die.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist in 6 also loses their original self, so it’s quite tough.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s tough to see important people getting killed right in front of me every time, just barely missing it.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s fine to not be a hero, right?

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

Wasn’t it the case that the protagonist’s hometown was destroyed after 2?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

The lineage of Lot will be extinct after a few hundred years.

The continent of Rattorm has sunk into the sea.

Loreshia and Moonbrook have perished (especially in the case of Loreshia, ordinary people no longer even remember its name).

Samaltria still exists, but it seems that the royal family has changed, and it is no longer of the lineage of Roto.

82: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I have a beautiful wife and children, and I want to become Torneko.

Just by being in a carriage, I’m treated like a hero who saved the world and I have money too.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>82

He’s a great entrepreneur who can stop wars or dig tunnels and open roads even without a hero…

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

He’s incredibly capable, but for some reason, it’s sad that his wife has better business acumen.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>82

Can you really earn money on your own and handle diplomatic negotiations for a country on the brink of war?

83: Japan Otaku Reviews

I anticipate that 12 will be extremely tough at a top level in the past.

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder what the protagonist of 5 does with the monsters after defeating the demon king.

Are you leaving it with the monster grandpa or keeping it as a pet in Linehart?

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>85

Don’t throw it to Henry.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

Well, if it were a monster of the protagonist, it does seem like I would gladly keep it…

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The protagonist is not in a gruesome direction, though.

It’s a story that has a surprisingly big impact, isn’t it?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems peaceful for a while after 1, but what will it be like?

I like things like Monsters+, but since this is the last in the series, I hope it ends peacefully and happily.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>87

From the protagonist’s perspective, the genre of the game changes.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

A level of pity that isn’t funny.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

How much time has passed from 1 to 2?

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

I think it was around 100 years, but I forgot if there was a source.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>89

I think the commercial said it’s been 100 years since then, but can it really be 100 years?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

It’s unreasonable for the grandfather of the three kings of a huge country to be around the same time as the protagonist of number one.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

Not all of them, but while the Dragon Quest protagonists can save the world,

It’s rather severe that I often feel I’m not saved as much as I say I am.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

The protagonist of 8 properly rescued the princess and reached a happy conclusion.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

Having great companions and a golden spirit, Henry is incredible, isn’t he?

In that environment, they’re actually becoming more rounded.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even if I go through a lot of trouble to gather the Hero’s Sky Equipment, it doesn’t mean I can go to the Demon World, which is kind of sad in a different way.

99: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it not okay to live modestly with Tania after 6 stories…?

That’s not good, right?

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, calling it extinction might be a bit much, but the reality is that countries do change and swap places, so it might feel like that.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>104

Caravan Heart simply perished.

In a world where only Delcandar and Samartoria form a nation.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

Will 11 stay in Ish’s village forever or will they revive Ygnoa?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>106

Although the options have increased with S, I feel like it was originally intended to live in Ishi’s village with only Emma as a marriage partner.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

I love 11 so much that I could say it’s a masterpiece, but I was dissatisfied with the marriage-related part…

I always thought she was definitely the heroine.

I’m glad I can choose my companions in S.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since both Lotto and Tenkuu come from later generations, I don’t know the latest timeline.

For a while it was peaceful, but in the end, a demon lord-like entity appears and we’re fighting, so I wonder if that’s okay.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>108

The sky goes 6→4→5, and there’s also a theory suggesting 11 before 6.

I think the lottery is 11→3→1→2→not a caravan.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s written in the summary of the instruction manual.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

The ending song of 5 feels so full of happiness, doesn’t it?
