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.EXTRAITEven 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. "e;What would I have done differently if I could have changed things"e; is a very common concept used in fiction, from A Distant Neighborhood by Jiro 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 CRITIQUEUn libre passionnant que j'ai devore 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 details l'histoire de chaque episode, les ventes incommensurables de la serie ou encore un almanach des jeux estampilles DraQue. - Kaisermeister, Sens CritiqueUn livre plein d'anecdotes qui feront vibrer votre corde nostalgique et qui donne envie, une fois termine, de replonger dans l'aventure. - neotsubasa, Sens CritiqueC'est une biographie tres detaillee, riche en anecdotes et bien romancee, Yuji Horii est un personnage fascinant au CV bien rempli et la genese de la saga est tout aussi passionnante a tel point que j'ai parfois eu du mal a decrocher. - Nixotane, Sens CritiqueA PROPOS DE L'AUTEURDaniel 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 Cine 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.
