About this mod

Do you remember when spells names used to be exciting? Do you remember when monsters used to sound threatening? This mod brings back names like Ice Bolt, Lightning Storm, Firebane, and Blaze. It also changes monsters to wyvern, red dragon, and axe knight. So, if you want to Return (not Zoom) to Dragon Warrior, this mod is for you.

The purpose of this mod is to incorporate some of the old names from Dragon Warrior 1-4 and Dragon Quest 5-8 back into 11.  It does not change all the names, but it attempts to make some names more logical and familiar.  It is also intended to reduce the use of puns within the game.

A list of changes can be found under documentation.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A special  thank you to mike9k1.  Without his help or the Yggdrasil: Dragon Quest Modding Discord, this mod would not be possible.  They had to point me in the right direction. A thank you as well for mentioning Notepad++ to me (though I stubbornly used Excel and learned from that error).

A special thank you to emoose for creating DQXIAsset.  Without it, I would have never been able to make complete changes to names (without spaces).  Also, another thank you for teaching me how to use the program.
