Now that I'm not in so much of a rush to get out the door, this is a wonderful find. Thanks for adding now TWO missing pieces of the puzzle.
Glad to help, I'm just wondering if he did DWI as well.

Hey guys, so some years back there was a topic asking who the cover artist for DWII was in NA. Nobody managed to figure it out, however years later I tracked down Chris Hopkins as the artist for DWIII and IV on NES and I did an interview with him. Well the only thing we had to go off of for DWII's cover art was a lone signature in the corner.
Now @Dwaine seemed to think the signature was "kis" however it looks like we may have been looking at it the wrong way. This painting wasn't done by a Western Artist, but a Japanese one!
The very same signature appears on the works of Kensuke Suzuki, a pen name for artist Hiroshi Kajiyama who did character designs for the Shining Force series.
Thats the very same signature! It has to be him! Now I'm wondering if he did DWI as well, had no idea Enix got a Japanese artist to do this. Also I'm sad to say that Mr. Kajiyama passed away two years ago in July it looks like. I'm glad this mystery can be put to rest now at least.

1993!
I just ordered that one on eBay lol. Its the one with DQV hero and Bianca on the cover. Can't wait to see it.

I might actually watch this later, thanks. I've been looking for a good DQVI LP (mostly the DS version). This looks good though.

That looks like a really cool book! I haven't heard of that yet. Can you tell us what was in it?

Actually I got the DQVIII demo from an issue of the North American Shonen Jump magazine. I hadn't even heard of DQ until I got that disc (great beginnings I know). It was Fall 2005, a few months before DQVIII's release and there were interviews with Horii in the magazine.
In regards to all the history I mentioned, I'm trying my best to document all of the missing DQ stuff I can possibly find. I've got a folder on my harddrive called DQArchive. I'm looking to find manga scans, books, betas, art work, commercials, TV Spots, press conferences, interviews with Horii and staff, pictures of Horii and Sugiyama, fanart, magazine scans, game guides, rom hacks, and more. Its a slow process. One thing I've realized is that there is a lot of official DQ art that is exclusive to Japanese game guides, but that would require buying them and importing them from Japan, plus scanning. If anyone has some it'd be helpful.
Wow so DQVI was translated... I had no idea about that. That would be a treasure to have, especially since the fan translation isn't exactly perfect.

Yeah there's definitely holes in DQ's recorded history online. So much stuff we don't know and have access to its honestly sad considering how other fanbases have almost ever little scrap of information on their games accounted for. The DQ wiki needs a big overhaul honestly. While I haven't found anything DQIV related, I have managed to track down a beta/prototype for Dragon Warrior VII PS1.
https://hiddenpalace.org/Dragon_Warrior_VII_(Sep_14,_2001_prototype)
I have not tested it yet, but it released September 2001. I can't imagine it being too different, but its worth taking a look at, maybe I'll burn it to a disc later.

Got a link or picture?
Its this. They're like Dragon Quest visual histories. They catalogue all of the merchandise from this era.

Thats actually really great! Which year is your book from?

Here is the updated folder with the Dragon Quest VIII demo disc I ripped myself. Nobody else on the internet has done this. The demo has a bunch of differences to the final game.

In Dragon Quest XI a bard in Sniffelheim sings the Led Zeppelin song, the Immigrant Song.

Hey guys, I was wondering if there's someone who's actively archiving all of the events in DQ of the Stars. I mainly mean all of the conversations between Cyril and the characters. I just think this might be important to save images of all the dialogue since they're timed events. Like for example, I had no idea Psaro's last name was Banesword, so its things like this that seem worthy of maybe storing here on the den. Has anyone been actively screencapping/recording?

Kinda like the DQIV monster medals in DQIII GBC, odd things.
Makes me wonder if there's any other cool things hidden in the games.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone here knows how to rip hidden game sprites from GameBoy titles, because I've found this on the Spriters resource under Enemies in Dragon Warrior I+II for GameBoy.
I mean its all the typical baddies except I noticed a few things. For starters, it looks like there's a head animation for the Green Dragon in the files and aditionally I see sprites for some sort of car, a Penguin, Pikachu and what looks like a Gundam. This brings up a lot of questions and I would like to look into the game's files myself to verify their existence if anyone knows how to. Thanks.

Yep. Good reason to build. They needed a different reason other than "the world was destroyed." I do like the hook.
Menus reminding me of Persona 5.I also like the fact that there's a boat this time around. They've really done a good job so far of bringing up the nostalgia from DQII from the story to even the soundtrack.

I like the story so far a lot. I really like the whole island castaway sort of thing they're going for. Definitely looking forward to the full game.

DQXII. Its gotta be DQXII. They finished DQXI two years ago, which means we could get a new announcement in a few years for the next game. This is exciting.
Dragon Quest parody games.

Post it, I doubt the creators of Body Con Quest are going to find us
