Four versions cover Dragon Quest through Dragon Quest IV, each with three songs and a level-up music effect, plus one hidden effect the listing does not name. Each case costs 4,950 yen including tax and is scheduled for release on March 6, 2027; pre-orders run at the Square Enix e-STORE.","whyItMatters":"The item sells the audio rather than the holder: each version draws three songs and the level-up effect from its own game, and one music effect stays unnamed on the listing.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eSquare Enix pitches the case for small items and desk display as much as for business cards. Playback starts from a button on the side, so the songs stay quiet until someone presses it.
