Download or read book The Legend of Dragon Quest written by Daniel Andreyev and published by Third Editions. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover all the secrets and mechanics of the famous Japanese video game Dragon Quest ! This book looks back at the entire Dragon Quest saga, tells the story of the series' birth, retraces its history and deciphers its mechanics. In this book, the author shares us all his expertise and his passion in Japanese gaming to decipher the creation and the story of this saga and his creator, Yuji Horii. EXTRAIT Even with only limited knowledge of Japanese and somewhat difficult technical conditions, the story was very well told. This was perhaps what surprised players most. Dragon Quest V is a large family cycle of emotions, as transparent as an epic tale by Alexandre Dumas, the author of famous works such as The Three Musketeers. In the end, I was lucky that my first taste of the series was this excellent episode, since VI was far more extravagant, with its tales of parallel universes and heroes traveling on flying beds. A slightly puzzling game, but not without levity nor offbeat humor. One of the most emotional moments of Dragon Quest V is when we end up going back in time to change the past, thus saving the future. The time travel theme has been so often used in science fiction, particularly during the 1980s, that it should have left me impassive. It was not even the first time I had experienced it in a video game. But this adventure, with its simple graphics and persistent melodies, glanced lightly upon feelings that leave no one unmoved. “What would I have done differently if I could have changed things” is a very common concept used in fiction, from A Distant Neighborhood by Jirô Taniguchi to the Quantum Leap series. Well-told, it is so simple and so effective that it affects each and every one of us. CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE Un libre passionnant que j'ai dévoré au point de rogner sur mes heures de sommeil. Ici, l'auteur ne nous bassine pas avec des tartines de textes pour nous conter avec détails l'histoire de chaque épisode, les ventes incommensurables de la série ou encore un almanach des jeux estampillés DraQue. - Kaisermeister, Sens Critique Un livre plein d’anecdotes qui feront vibrer votre corde nostalgique et qui donne envie, une fois terminé, de replonger dans l'aventure. - neotsubasa, Sens Critique C'est une biographie très détaillée, riche en anecdotes et bien romancée, Yuji Horii est un personnage fascinant au CV bien rempli et la genèse de la saga est tout aussi passionnante à tel point que j'ai parfois eu du mal à décrocher. - Nixotane, Sens Critique À PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR Daniel Andreyev is an author and journalist of Russian origin. His career in video game journalism began twenty years ago, during the golden years of video gaming, with Player One, Consoles + and Animeland, with a particular interest in Japan. Having spent some time on translation, he is now part of the New Games Journalism movement, which places the player at the heart of the video game experience. He produces the After Hate and Super Ciné Battle podcasts. He also trades memories with his friends in Gaijin Dash, the Gamekult show on Japanese video games. He is a fan of far too many things to list them all here. But when he is not writing, not watching a movie, not reading comics and graphic novels, not climbing mountains or exploring ruined buildings, he might be cooking, exercising or dreaming of one day owning a dog.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tiny Dragon's Adventure Summary about this story: Spark, a small dragon who lives in the mythical country of Misty Meadows, goes on an amazing journey that belies his small size. Spark wants to show that even the smallest dragons can have the biggest hearts. Her green scales shine, and her wings are thin. When Spark sees a flyer for the Great Dragon Games, he sees it as a chance to show off his skills and make his dreams come true. He goes with determination to the Dragon's Roost, where the games are held. Along the way, he runs into obstacles like thick woods, dangerous rivers, and mischievous goblins. When Spark gets to the Dragon's Roost, he flies around the holes instead of through them in the Fiery Ring Race and wins a special prize. In the Crystal Maze Challenge, his small size helps him get through tight spots and find the valuable crystal. In the last event, the Sky-High Soar, Spark's drive helps him go higher and higher, which earns him the respect of the people watching. Even though he didn't win the race, his other dragons admire him for being brave and strong. Spark's adventures in Misty Meadows keep going as he discovers new areas and helps people in need. His name as a brave dragon spread far and wide. Even Eldor, the wise old dragon, heard about how brave he was. Eldor is so pleased with Spark's good qualities that he gives him a magical amulet that lets him grow whenever he wants. Spark goes on amazing adventures with his new power, where he meets magical animals and makes new friends. Spark's small size helped him solve problems and give a helping hand, like when he helped a lost spirit find her way home and when he helped a friendly giant get back his stolen golden harp. During Spark's underground trip in Atlantis, he meets Marina, a mermaid who cares about the health of the coral reefs. With the help of his amulet, he gets bigger and helps Marina rebuild the reefs, which makes the water creatures grateful. Spark learns from his adventures that a person's size is not a measure of how brave or important they are. The most important things about him are his heart, his courage, and his desire to help others. He becomes an example for other people, telling them to believe in themselves and be proud of what makes them different. King Cedric of Misty Meadows finds out about Spark's amazing deeds. Spark is called to the royal court, where the king makes him the Guardian of Misty Meadows and gives him the job of protecting the magical people who live there. Spark keeps going on adventures as the Guardian, protecting Misty Meadows and all the fun things there. His legacy lives on, inspiring people to believe in their own powers and accept the magic that is already inside them. Spark's journey shows how important it is to be brave, be kind, and believe that even the tiniest person can make the biggest difference. Spark's heart is full of happiness and pride every time he goes on a new adventure. Misty Meadows grows well under his watch, and the Valley of Whispers is a place where magic and knowledge from the past can be found. Spark's story will live on, telling everyone who hears it that greatness can come in many forms and that a brave heart can lead to the most amazing things. How the story started: Once upon a time, Spark, a small dragon, lived in the magical land of Misty Meadows. Spark was not like other dragons. In fact, he was the smallest dragon anyone had ever seen. He was a sight to behold. His green scales sparkled, and his wings were as thin as gossamer. Even though Spark was small, he had big dreams and a brave heart. He wanted to do big things like the big dragons he had heard about. He spent his days exploring the beautiful fields and playing with his animal friends in the woods. Spark, always wanted more. One beautiful morning, Spark was flying around when he saw a brightly colored bird. It said that there would be a race called the "Great Dragon Games," in which dragons of all sizes could take part. Spark's little heart was racing with happiness. He knew this was his chance to show that even tiny dragons can have the biggest hearts. Spark gathered up his courage and went to the Dragon's Roost, where the Great Dragon Games were going to be held. The trip wasn't easy for a dragon of his size. He had to go through thick woods, cross dangerous rivers, and even trick a group of sneaky goblins. Spark kept going because he was driven by his strong desire. After traveling for days, Spark gets to the Dragon's Roost. As dragons of all shapes, sizes, and colors came from all over, the place was filled with energy. Spark's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't let the fact that he was short stop him. He was going to do everything he could. There were many different contests at the Great Dragon Games, and each one tried a different skill. The Fiery Ring Race was the first-time dragons had to fly through a number of flaming hoops. Spark knew he couldn't fly as quickly as the others, but he was quick and smart. He didn't run through the hoops. Instead, he flew around them, using his speed and agility. Spark won a special prize for being creative because the judges were impressed by how he did things differently. The Crystal Maze Challenge, which was a test of intelligence and skill, came next. Dragons had to get through a maze full of magical hurdles to find a valuable gem. Spark was small, so he could quickly move through small areas and around tight turns. As he ran quickly through the maze, his green scales sparkled in the dim light. He saw the gem right away, which got him another round of praise from the crowd. The Sky-High Soar was the last game and the hardest one. Dragons had to fly to the top of the Enchanted Mountains while dodging stormy clouds and strong winds. When Spark looked up at the tall hills, he felt both excited and scared. But he wouldn't give up. With each beat of his little wings, he went higher and higher, never losing sight of his goal. As Spark reached the top, the crowd cheered loudly. They were impressed by how brave and determined the small dragon was. Even more important than the Sky-High Soar, Spark had won the love and respect of his fellow dragons. Spark went back to Misty Meadows, happy and proud of how well he did at the Great Dragon Games. The animals in the woods cheered and praised him because they were proud of their brave friend. Spark's story about being brave and persistent taught young dragons and other animals to believe in themselves and be proud of what makes them different. His story showed that a person's worth is not based on how tall they are, but on how brave and driven they are. Spark went on exciting adventures, where he found new places and helped people who were in trouble. He In Misty Meadows, he became a sign of hope and inspiration, a reminder that even the smallest of them could do big things. Spark's status as the little dragon with the biggest heart grew with every new adventure he went on and act of kindness he had. Eldor, a wise old dragon, took notice of Spark because he was brave and didn't care about himself. Eldor went to see Spark because he was amazed by how good he was. He told Spark about his own great adventures. Spark got a special amulet from Eldor because he was brave and helped bring peace back to Misty Meadows. Spark's size could be changed at will by the charm. Spark can change into a bigger dragon that can do even more powerful things with just one touch. Spark's size used to be seen as a bad thing, but now he sees it as a chance to make an even bigger difference in the world around him. Spark used his new skill to keep exploring the strange places beyond Misty Meadows. He solved problems and helped people in need as he went through beautiful woods, over dangerous mountains, and into secret tunnels. Because he was small, he could get into small spaces, go to hard-to-reach places, and talk to animals that others might have missed. With each new adventure, Spark's notoriety grew. Dragons from other lands came to him for advice, and animals of all sizes saw him as a sign of hope. Spark's kind and brave deeds became famous, and they still inspire people today.
