Why did Enix change the names of the Dragon Warrior characters in the recent games?
Enix changed the names of the characters (Erdrick became Loto, Gwaelin became Lora, etc.) The names are now actually closer translations to the original Dragon Quest versions. Although it is a mystery if Enix of America strongly is for more percise translations, if some fans complained who they listened to, or if there is a different reason, Enix of America claims the names were changed mostly due to the smaller screen on the Game Boy.
