==Controversy of Localization Changes==

A handful of older fans of the series have taken umbrage with Plus-Alpha's localization style, expressing their opinion that the use of puns and British English undermines the serious nature of the games.

While the opinions of the more scorned fans are perfectly valid, it should be known that all of Plus Alpha's edits are done under supervision from [[Square Enix]], and permission must be given by [[Yuji Horii]] himself before any change can be made official. In addition to this, Plus-Alpha's work has received great praise from professional critics and done much to distinguish Dragon Quest among its peers in a market saturated with role-playing games.
