"It was a collaborative effort between Square Enix and Google. Google came up with the idea, then we provided the assets and helped them to create the map." - Google rep

Gotta find some way to make Dragon Quest well-known in places not called Japan!

The moment I started watching this and I saw the dragon in the back and Tetsuya Nomura, I knew this was a straight up collaboration. Easily the most epic April Fools ever!
