Dragon Quest Guía y cronología
An unlikely hero leaves familiar surroundings, gathers companions and confronts a danger spreading across the world. Dragon Quest gives that traditional role-playing journey a playful character through its monsters, towns and people. Most numbered adventures have their own setting and cast, while remakes revisit particular stories in a new form.

Dragon Quest: a new adventure or a connected legend
Choose a numbered adventure and the edition you want. For the represented Erdrick story sequence, play III, then I and II; the whole numbered series is not one continuous chronology.

The mainline and remake groups organize products. A remake is not automatically a new sequel or an independent universe.
Overview & recommendation
Dragon Quest often gives a new hero a world to discover, so the next number need not mean the next event in the same party's life. The draw can be a particular adventure rather than completing a franchise-wide assignment.
Some games do have meaningful relationships. Erdrick's legend is the clear example here, while remakes provide other ways to play familiar adventures without adding compulsory repeat chapters.
Select an adventure and edition deliberately. If following the Erdrick story, use the named III–I–II route rather than assuming the broad numbered list is chronological. Other games need their own relationship context.
Numbered adventures and revisited editions Local connections inside a broader RPG family
Mainline Games collects the numbered titles; Mainline Remakes collects represented reimaginings. Those are product views, not proof that every remake belongs to a new shared continuity separate from its original.
Mainline Games (12 entries)
The numbered Dragon Quest adventures. Some have local connections, including Erdrick's III - I - II story sequence, rather than one universal numbered chronology.
Mainline Remakes (3 entries)
Modern remakes and reimaginings of numbered adventures, alternative editions whose publication does not automatically create a separate sequel canon.
Choose a quest, then its version 15 entries
The numbered publication overview is a useful history, but not a universal prerequisite chain. Choose originals or remakes instead of requiring both before advancing.
