[edit] Engine?

Does this game run on the same engine as Pokemon Red? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.123.69.24 (talk) 01:29, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Location

Shouldn't this be at Dragon_Warrior_Monsters with a redirect from quest and not the other way round? This is the English version of wikipedia and they were released in England and America under the former name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.68.15.194 (talk • contribs) .

  • Square Enix has retired the Dragon Warrior trademark name so it is best to follow their transistion to the Dragon Quest trademark. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by J. Nguyen (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Reason why move back to its original name

User:Raptogoon didn't consult any of us before renaming/moving the article. You don't see the Dragon Quest article with an messy name called, "Dragon Quest/ Dragon Warrior". Wikipedia should just to stick one name and briefly mention that it is called, Dragon Warrior Monsters in North America. Square Enix now uses the Dragon Quest trademark exclusively these days so we should follow them. --Who What Where Nguyen Why 22:52, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I support moving it back to Dragon Quest Monsters. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 03:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
Since no one else posted (outside of me) since this move was listed here, I just moved it and tidied everything up. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 20:16, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ugly

This article is an ugly amalgamation of what should be 4 or 5 articles. Someone needs to split it apart. --John Moser 03:24, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree. Dragon Quest Monsters Joker is already its own stub, so why not break up the other games into their own articles using the names they were released as in the UK and North America. The gameplay section and common elements can remain with this article as a summary of this spin-off series.Zenithian 01:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
i agree that there should be separate articles. if anyone needs help, id gladly help Evaunit666 02:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
I have split off each individual game into it's own page. – ARC GrittTALK 11:05, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Caravan Hearts is an Enix game, not Square Enix

"The first Dragon Quest game to be released for the Gameboy Advanced and to be released under the Square Enix name." The part about Square Enix is false. You can see "(C)2003 ARMOR PROJECT/BIRD STUDIO/SQUARE ENIX All Rights Reserved." on the official Square Enix site, but when the game was released Square Enix did not exist, and of course in the game and in the box, manual, etc. it says Enix everywhere.

[edit] Move Dragon Warrior Monsters (video game) to Dragon Warrior Monsters.

It's not really a case of "replacing the series article with the first game", it's more like replacing a redirect to the series article with the first game. - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
