Puff-puff

Puff-puff is in the later games, and it refers either to rubbing a woman's breasts, or getting two slimes rubbed on your head.

The slimes getting rubbed on your head is a joke specific to DQVIII. The characters don't realize that its only slimes. They think its actually breasts.

"Puff puff" or (as it is known in japanese) "Pafu-Pafu" is a running gag in both Dragon Quest and Dragon Ball that implies touching or rubbing breasts and NOT oral sex.

It is started by Akira Toriyama, the mangaka who wrote the Dragon Ball series (later adopted into the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z animated series), and the character/monster designer for the whole Dragon Quest series. It can be found in the earlier chapters of Dragon Ball with scenes involving Roshi.

EDIT: BTW, an example of this can be found in the japanese version of the Dragon Ball series. There is an old man character named Roshi who often tries to fondle (or as he calls it "pafu pafu") the breasts of female characters in the series.

character classes

I think the page should mention the different classes that come up in the different games. I don't know of any other Rpgs off the top of my head that let you play as a Goof-Off, for example. ( I know the goof-off class appears in 3 and 6 , and probably others, too? )

Only DQIII, DQVI, and DQVII has character classes. They should be mentioned in their respective pages.

Basic Gameplay

The top and middle portions of Basic Gameplay needs to be rewritten, the content is very poorly written, vague and not very accurate. I've cleaned up the lower portion.

Merge in three articles

Dragon Quest (TV series), Dragon Quest: Souten no Soura, and Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō don’t have enough reliable sources in English or Japanese to constitute anything other than permanent Start level articles, paragraphs of unsourced and thinly sourced materials. Better that any references they may have reside here, and if ever the materials exist for their independence are found, they can be recreated. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:01, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Dragon Quest Retsuden: Roto no Monshō has literally 3 sentences of sourced information, and the rest is scant plot summary; Dragon Quest (TV series) is about the same but with a few more unsourced sentences. Both are basically just puffed up catalog listings and have been for 14 years; sources have not been found after searching in Japanese-language media, and they can't really support themselves as notable outside the series itself. --Pres N 16:10, 1 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I tried my best and couldn't find anything solid in Japanese. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:46, 3 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
