After that, he discovered he could make the dragon do whatever he wanted.

Surprisingly the dragon picked it up in his mouth and brought it back to the man, like a dog. The man grew tired of waiting and threw a stick to distract it. As he closed his eyes to stop himself from seeing his demise, nothing happened. Suddenly, the dragon awoke and the man was very frightened. While exploring deep within the cave, he came across a sleeping dragon. He lived in the western mountain cave, far from the walls of Ladatorm (Tantagel). Years passed and the people prospered, but one person was not happy with the way things were. Eventually, Loto took his leave and was never seen again. Loto returned to the King with the Ball of Light and there were great festivals and celebrations. The peace came in the form of the sacred Ball of Light. Long ago, a man named Loto (Erdrick) returned peace from the hands of evil. Story Localization note: in the English NES release, most names were changed original names were restored in later localizations (GBC) this section states the original names in bold and the NES localized names in brackets. Instead, it created a fan base that has continued to support the series through the latest release, Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies on the Nintendo DS, and on to today. Despite the lack of customization or strategic flexibility, Dragon Warrior is a fine example of a basic RPG, and an astounding success in both Japan where the enjoyment of a good RPG was well known, and in America where it was thought that players would not appreciate such a slow paced game. Fights are simple as well, since they always consist of a one-on-one battle between you and a monster.

It features a number of underground dungeons, a wide expansive world, and numerous well illustrated monsters to battle the art style of the game, and in fact most of the series, was directed by Akira Toriyama, of Dragon Ball fame.

It casts the player in the role of a solo adventurer who must solve the world's problems single-handedly. The first Dragon Warrior, like any first game in a series, is the most simplistic and not very complex. Despite the differences, games from both series contain deep and intricate stories as well as hours of enjoyable game play. The biggest difference is the atmosphere: while Final Fantasy portrays beautiful worlds caught in the midst of an impending catastrophe, Dragon Warrior tends to be a bit more serene with a touch of humor thrown in. The Dragon Warrior series is different from the Final Fantasy series in many respects. It arrived on the Famicom/NES one year before Final Fantasy appeared on the same system both games took three years to be translated from Japanese and released in America and Europe. Dragon Warrior is most notably remembered as one of the earliest home console RPGs of its kind.
