Editing Dragon Quest localization history (section)

==Current localization (since 2005)==
In 2003, Square Enix managed to properly register the trademark for ''Dragon Quest'' on other territories. Thanks to this, in November 15, 2005, they released ''[[Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King]]'' for the PlayStation 2 in North America, with a release the following year in Europe and Australia.
This marked the first time where a ''Dragon Quest'' title was released under its ''Dragon Quest'' name out of Japan, alongside with a subtitle like it does have one in the Japanese release. Following that, every subsequent ''Dragon Quest'' release in the West was named properly with this naming.

Another thing to note is that, for some of the earliest European and Australian releases, the numbering in the titles were omitted. This includes the PS2 release of ''[[Dragon Quest VIII]]'', and the DS releases of ''[[Dragon Quest IV]]'' and ''[[Dragon Quest V]]''. Those games were released in Europe as ''Dragon Quest: The Journey of the Cursed King'', ''Dragon Quest: The Chapters of the Chosen'' and ''Dragon Quest: The Hand of the Heavenly Bride'' respectively in Europe and Australia.

However, this change ceased since the release of ''[[Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies]]'' where the name is shared over all localizations.

Generally, since this localization scheme has started, Square Enix reviewed pretty much every part of it, from monsters to characters, spells and locations, etc... As such, it is fair to consider any naming coming from the old localization is outdated and irrelevant since.
