This project attempts to offer the nostalgia of the Dragon Warrior I-IV series on the NES by:
Adding the original names of the monsters
Removing the pun-riddled (and often silly) monster names
Translating the monster names from Japanese (where appropriate)
Creating a clearer hierarchy of monsters (dragons,wyverns, wyrms, drakes, etc.)
Changing spell names to resemble those in the original series
Creating a clearer system of spells
Creating spell names that match their description
Changing the names of some abilities and Pep Powers
Changing the names of some of the rides in the game
Changing item names to incorporate those new names
Using full text names without abbreviation
Making these alterations without removing the character from the base game
