Square Enix has launched a new sub-brand called Dragon Quest Golf, which is dedicated to creating golf merchandise and accessories inspired by the long-standing JRPG franchise. The brand's initial offerings include a golf ball featuring the iconic blue Slime, which is typically the first enemy players encounter in a Dragon Quest game. The company will showcase more merchandise at the 59th Japan Golf Fair on March 7. According to Square Enix, the decision to create Dragon Quest Golf merchandise is due to shifting demographics, as fans who started playing the series in 1986 are now grandparents and likely to be interested in golf. Japan's love for golf is also a factor in this decision. The possibilities for Dragon Quest Golf merchandise are endless, and fans can expect to see a range of products featuring their favorite characters and symbols from the series.
