This short clip is taken from A New Companion, a piece from the Dragon Quest series composed by Koichi Sugiyama, the long-running composer behind the franchise's orchestral sound. In the games, companion themes accompany the moment a hero's party grows, so the melody carries a clear sense of welcome and shared adventure. Short excerpts have since travelled beyond gameplay into edits, streams and reaction videos, where a few seconds are enough to signal a new arrival. Its brevity, warmth and instantly recognisable Dragon Quest character keep it useful long after players first heard it.
