Dragon Quest is recognised through Yuji Horii direction, Akira Toriyama art and Koichi Sugiyama music. Its development can be traced in Slime mascot monsters, turn-based party battles and vocation class systems, each tied to the release where it appears.
Coverage uses Erdrick legendary lineage, traditional heroic quests and numbered standalone adventures to explain changes in play, setting or continuity.
