Enix has published CD Theaters of DQ1-6. They are commonly available on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, and the prices run quite high, especially for Dragon Quest IV Volume 3.
All of my information regarding the Dragon Quest Fantasia is from auctions and from the case of the video/laser disc I own. I do not own a beta max or a laser disc player, and therefore have never been able to watch them. Many stage performances of Dragon Quest have taken place over the years, most recently a ballet in March of 2002. Videos also exist of concert performances of DQIV.
If you want more information/image scans of the items on this page, please email me. I cannot and will not import items, sell my copies, or burn you a copy. Any emails requesting such will be laughed at and promptly trashed. Sorry.

| Name | Dragon Quest IV CD Theater Volume 1 |
| Release date | 1-1-1994 |
| Publisher | Enix |
| Description | Consists of one CD and a 20-page illustration booklet. This CD Theater covers Chapters 1 and 2 in the game. As seen in the above illustration, the artwork is gorgeous. It is slightly disconcencerting that Hoimin actually talks and sounds like a hyper little kid, but how should a healer slime be expected to talk? ^^ The voices and sound effects overall are really quite excellent. |

| Description | Consists of one CD and a 20-page illustration booklet. This CD covers Chapter 5, beginning with the tragic annihilation of Yusha's village. It features all of the voice actors from the previous chapters, and adds Pizarro (Saro) and Rozary (Rosa). The sound drama incorporates the music and voices quite well, especially in the final battle scene; the magic users are screaming spells, the fighters are roaring as they move in to attack, and the final boss music is playing in the background. Wow. |
