68.157.249.34:

'''Roto''' (Loto in the GBC translations, Erdrick in the NES localizations)  is the title bestowed on the hero of [[Dragon Quest III]] after slaying [[Zoma]]. This moniker is used to refer to the hero of Dragon Quest III throughout [[Dragon Quest (game)|Dragon Quest]] and [[Dragon Quest II]]. This title serves as a major connecting point between Dragon Quest III and Dragon Quest I and II (along with [[Alefgard]]). As a result, the first 3 games in the Dragon Quest series are often referred to as the [[Roto's Trilogy]]

For more information, see ''[[Hero (Dragon Quest III)]]''

==Trivia==
*In the DS remake of [[Dragon Quest V]], if the player names their character Madason then their father, who usually recommends that name, will make Erdrick his suggestion instead.

68.157.249.34: /* Notable Goof-offs */

[[Image:Dq3-goofoff.jpg|right]]
The '''Goof-off''' or '''Jester''' is a class in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]].

Goof-offs, although pretty much useless on the battle field, have a great amount of luck. This allows them to deal critical amounts of damage more often than other characters. The trade-off for this is the fact that Goof-offs have minds of their own, and the player cannot always control their actions. Goof-offs are the wild cards of the game, as they sometimes do damage to themselves instead of attacking enemy characters. In ''[[Dragon Quest III]]'', Goof-off is the only class that can turn into a [[Sage]] at [[Dharma Temple]] without a [[Book of Satori]].

==Notable Goof-offs==
*Selectable class in ''Dragon Quest III''
*[[Torneko]] can be considered a fusion of the Goof-off and Merchant classes.

Temple of Dharma

68.157.249.34: /* Trivia */

The '''Temple of Dharma''' is a recurring location in the Dragon Quest series. It allows player characters to change their class.

== Dragon Quest III ==
Any generic character that has reached at least level 20 may change their class to any other available class. The sage class is generally unavailable unless the character is a [[Goof-off]] or in possession of a [[Book of Satori]]. This causes the character to drop back to level 1 and lose half of their current stats, though any magic or skills they obtain are kept. The [[Hero (Dragon Quest III)|hero]] cannot change class.

== Dragon Quest VI ==
The temple has been placed under a seal by the Demon Lord [[Mudo]]. Once the temple has been unsealed, it is possible to change a character's class, which modifies that character's stats and allows them to learn additional skills and magic. Only a few classes are available at the start, but mastering certain combinations of classes will unlock more powerful classes. Two secret classes are only available by the use of special magic books, and any character other than the [[Hero (Dragon Quest VI)|Hero]] can only change to the "Hero" class by mastering all other nonsecret classes in the game.

== Dragon Quest VII ==
Once the temple has been cleansed of its demonic presence, it is possible to change a character's class, which modifies that character's stats and allows them to learn additional skills and magic. Only a few classes are available at the start, but mastering certain combinations of classes will unlock more powerful classes. Monster classes can be unlocked by obtaining a heart of that creature, with advanced monster classes also being unlockable in the same manner as the other advanced classes.

==Trivia==
Dharma is an Indian spiritual and religious term, meaning one's righteous duty or any virtuous path in the common sense of the term, an appropriate name for a place of signifigant change.

Dragon Quest IV

{{Infobox
|Title=Dragon Quest IV
|Type=Main series games
|Image=[[Image:DQ4logo.jpg|220px]]

|Developer|[[Enix]]
|Publisher|[[Enix]]

|Release date|February 11, 1990
}}'''''Dragon Quest IV: Michibikareshi Monotachi''''' (Japanese: 導かれし者たち, lit. ''The People Who Are Shown the Way'') is a role-playing game and the fourth installment of the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' video game series. The game was originally released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] but was remade for the [[PlayStation]] and later [[Nintendo DS]]. It begins the ''Tenkuu no Shiro'' (''Castle in the Sky'') trilogy.

It was originally released for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|Famicom]] on February 11, 1990 in Japan. The North American version, titled ''Dragon Warrior IV'', was released for the NES in December 1992.

''Dragon Quest IV'' had a unique way of advancing the story. It was split into five chapters. The first four chapters were told from the perspective of the hero's future companions. The fifth chapter was the hero's quest. During that quest, you would meet with and join with the companions whose stories were told in earlier chapters. Then, with a full cast of companions the group would begin their journey to save the world.

The first four chapters were dedicated towards introducing motives and back-stories to the hero's companions, as well as some information on the game's antagonist, [[Necrosaro]]. Each story gives meaning and attachment to those characters. In chapter one, the royal guard Ragnar must save the missing children and in doing so uncovers a plot to kill the still young hero. In chapter two, the princess Alena tries to prove her strength and sets out on a journey with her servants Broya and Kiryl. In chapter three, the merchant [[Torneko]]  (Taloon in the original English version) seeks wealth and treasure. In chapter four, the dancer Maya and the fortune teller Meena attempt to exact revenge on their father's murder. All four of these stories lead up to the hero's fifth and final chapter.

Unlike the previous dragon quest games however, it appears that the storyline of Dragon Quest IV does not relate to the storyline of Dragon Quest I, II, and III.

''Dragon Quest IV'' introduced several new features over the first three titles. The new chapter-based story telling system was one of them. Also the inclusion of the, now common, casino. In addition, there were party member [[artificial intelligence]] options, which allows the player to give strategies to his party while still directly controlling the hero character. Finally, the wagon which allowed extra characters to wait and be exchanged during battle if needed.

==Ports and sequels==

''Dragon Quest IV'' was [[enhanced remake|remade]] for the [[PlayStation]] on [[November 22]], [[2001 in video gaming|2001]] in Japan. It was developed by Heartbeat and published by Enix. The remake was developed using the Dragon Quest VII's 3D graphics engine, but was still ''Dragon Quest IV'''s story and world. With this remake came new features. Among these features were a new chapter, a new character, an inter-party talk command similar to ''Dragon Quest VII'', and the ability to turn off the artificial intelligence for party members. The Enix of America Corporation originally planned to bring the remake to North America in 2002, but it was later canceled due to Heartbeat closing its video game development operations.

''Dragon Quest IV'' is the fourth game in the ''[[Dragon Quest]]'' series. The next game in the series is ''[[Dragon Quest V]]'', which has some references to ''Dragon Quest IV'', but is mostly an independent story.

==Plot==

===Chapter 1===
[[Ryan]] (ライアン, Ragnar in the NES localisation, Ragnar McRyan in the DS localisation), one of the soldiers in the royal palace of [[Burland]], is sent by the king on a journey to find out why children are disappearing across the kingdom. The first chapter is rather short and serves mainly as an introduction.

===Chapter 2===
[[Alena]] (アリーナ), princess/tsarevna of [[Santohaim]], slips out of the castle in hopes of attending a tournament in the castle of [[Endor]]. She is accompanied by the priest [[Clift]] (クリフト, Kiryl in the DS Localization) and the mage [[Brey]] (ブライ, Borya in the DS Localization).

===Chapter 3===
[[Torneko]] (トルネコ, Taloon in the NES localisation, Torneko Taloon in the DS localisation) lives in [[Lakanaba]] with his wife and son, and works part-time in the local weapon shop. He wants to become the best merchant in the world, so he leaves his hometown in search of profit.

===Chapter 4===
[[Manya]] (マーニャ, Maya in the DS localization of the game) the dancer and her younger sister [[Minea]] (ミネア, Meena in the DS localization of the game), the fortune teller, have left [[Monbaraba]] in search of vengeance against [[Balzack]], their father's traitorous apprentice.

===Chapter 5===
The [[Legendary Hero]] has been brought up by the inhabitants of a remote and nameless mountain village. But [[Deathpizarro]] and his legions destroy the village, leaving only the hero alive. The hero leaves in search of his seven companions, in the hopes of defeating the King of Hell.

==Soundtrack==
As with every Dragon Quest, [[Koichi Sugiyama]] composed the music and directed all the associated spinoffs. Here is the tracklisting of the Symphonic Suite:
# [[Overture]] (1:55)
# Minuet (3:07)
# Comrades (10:28)
# In a Town (8:16)
# Homeland ~ Wagon Wheels' March (5:58)
# Frightening Dungeons ~ Cursed Towers (5:19)
# Elegy ~ Mysterious Shrine (5:03)
# Balloon's Flight (4:32)
# Sea Breeze (4:31)
# The Unknown Castle (4:37)
# Battle for the Glory (7:51)
# The End (5:12)

==Version differences==
===Playstation and DS===
* A sixth chapter was added.
* An [[Immigrant Town]] was added, similar to [[Sim's Town]] in [[Dragon Quest VII]].
* [[Boomerang]]s were replaced by crossbows.
* Instead of the Liquid Metal Shield, the [[casino]] sells Falcon Swords.
* A new dungeon was added in the "after-game," along with a new Return Point. Completing this dungeon a certain number of times grants access to get Psaro's equipment and causes a naked and gender-confused man to appear in the Immigrant Town.

The '''Hero''' is the main character of ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. Like all protagonists in the [[Dragon Quest (series)|''Dragon Quest'' series]], the player provides him with a name of his choosing.

Unlike a majority of ''Dragon Quest'' games, which focus on the chosen one destined to strike down evil, ''Dragon Quest V'' tells the story of the prophet who guides and aids this chosen one, making for a unique experience. The player also has the choice of having the Hero marry (and later have children with) either [[Bianca]] or [[Flora]], or, in the [[DS]] remake, [[Deborah]]. Because of this setup, the game follows the Hero over a period of 20 years, another unique element. The hero is a very versatile fighter. He can equip swords, boomerangs, whips, staffs, and flails. He also is very good in magic, although his spells mainly revolve aroung healing magic. He can learn Heal, Squelch, Woosh, Healmore, Peep, Evac, Swoosh, Drain magic, Fullheal, Kaswoosh, and Hocus-pocus, a spell that has random effect ranging from nothing to shooting stars leaving every enemy and party member with one HP. He can equip the best equipment in the game, the metal king sword, helm, armor, and shield.
