History

Midenhall's prince sets out with two cousins in Dragon Quest II (1987), Enix's quest drawn by Akira Toriyama and scored by Koichi Sugiyama. The prince of Cannock and the princess of Moonbrooke join him, so the party is a family rather than a hired band of strangers.

Toriyama's monsters and Sugiyama's marches give the road its look and its sound. Caves, ships, and a widening map ask the three cousins to share equipment instead of one hero carrying everything.

North America later received the same journey as Dragon Warrior II. The cousins, the Toriyama bestiary, and Sugiyama's themes are the journey either box is selling.
