"This game seems like it's more based around Arabic culture. The music and the look of the hero and Mildrath. Does anyone know if each game represents a different culture or not?"
Hm, well, the eighth game had this one part with this snowy village that totally seemed Russian, and then there's this guy called Morrie that seems Spaniard, and there's also Valentina and Kalderasha in the beginning that have some kind of accent, so that's one other game at least.
You are indeed a powerful warrior, legendary hero and all who accompanies with him. But for you, I have the bad tidings. Now is the time for my true strength.
Cry is you will. Scream if you will. Your suffering is as sacrifice unto I.
Now the blood of the legendary hero will be spilled, and forever lost!!!
Actually as a DQ fan I've played this enough to notice but it seems like the overworld where the humans live is an Arabian culture. But if you talk to Mildrath at the end (on the DS) his text resembles that of the Russian language. >>
hahahahah!!! Well, I wish the world of humans was of arabic culture so I could marry the three of the wives of destiny and not just one! (the choice was somewhat difficult to make... [Bianca FTW!!!])
@Shaviine They sort did a Toriyama-esque name pun system with the demons in the DS version. Nimzo is named after a master chess player from (you guessed it) Russia, Rok is pretty obviously named after the castle chess piece, and Mt./the Order of Zugzwang is named after a chess term, I think it's another way of saying check-mate.
@frostare I doubt it, but thanks to the four arms,wings, and tail, his final form somewhat resembles Molrath or Sido, the final boss of Dragon Quest II. Maybe the fan translators noticed the resemblance and named him accordingly.

@Hyperultragamegamega I never thought of that, in fact Psaro and Estark do look alot like some Hindu gods I did a project on once. And the hero's helmet thing looks almost exactly like the headress of an Indian prince! that's crazy. Although I'm not sure what the hell Mortamer from DQ VI looks like though.
@Kaediths Mortamer's face in his final form looks like that of a Chinese dragon, if that's anything. I was still laughing at how his first form looked like master Roshi and how his second form is all big and buff...but is pink.
Nimzo at least had a threatening blood-red color to him.
Actually, that's pretty much Akira Toriyama's signature style of art, whether it's Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, etc.
In most of the anime and games that Toriyama designs, the clothing he uses for the characters are taken from various different Asian cultures, including Japanese, Chinese, Arabic and Indian clothing, all merged together into a kind of pan-Asian clothing style.
You know, the only thing I didn't like was that it was used for both Estark and Nimzo, had it been one or the other it would have been fine by me, still a great song though.
@ThePogeymanzepic Good job spoilering dumbass

A little clever if you ask me.

@vopop30 Yeah, Aron Nimzovich or something among those lines. But is "Mildrath" a pun too?

"Representing" might be the wrong word.
I think the producer was "inspired" by different ones.
But yeah, the hero and Mildrath look a bit arabian.

@Hyperultragamegamega That would explain why the Japan commercials for each DQ game are in different languages. But yeah, I thought the same thing.

@Hyperultragamegamega BEcause the main hero looks "arabic" (lolno) doesn't mean the whole game is based around arabic culture.
