Meanwhile Dragon Quest, the original, came in at number 17. One interesting bit about the survey is remakes take up their own slots. As an example, Dragon Quest V shows up in fourth, fifth, and eleventh place. If votes for all of the port were tallied together could Dragon Quest V really be Japan’s favorite Dragon Quest story?

 

Anyway, here’s a translated list of games and a partial list of favorite monsters and heroes. Yes, Slime is the most beloved Dragon Quest monster.
