>That silliness present in the translation is pretty popular and I think it's snagged more fans in the west than it's turned off. I think it's even gotten to the point where people actually think the silliness and puns is what defines Dragon Quest
This so fucking much.

I wouldn't have even bothered getting into Dragon Quest if it wasn't for the humor to break off the dryer parts of the game. The puns and wordplay make the game that much more unique here in America.

It's fine to enjoy the original script, but you're an idiot if you think that the franchise was "ruined" by the translators. They probably helped push more sales because of their bold choice, which in turn helped convince Square to push put more DQ games for everyone to enjoy.
