View Full Version : Dragon Quest V SNES
I just got this one in today from gamereproductions (the English translation) and was wondering if any of you guys have played it? I recently finished DQVIII and wanted more DQ in my system ;) As of right now, I can't play it because my power adapter went out :/ Any thoughts about this game would be appreciated. - Mike

Dragon Quest V is a pretty awesome game. Be warned, it is incredibly long, and I never finished it. For most of the quest, rather than having people joining your party, you have a bunch of monsters that you gain randomly after fights. The story is very compelling, and takes place over three different time periods. They managed to balance out the experience and gold system pretty well, so grinding is usually not necessary. The graphics are about on par with FF4. I can't remember all the details, as it has been years since I played it. There are two complete English patches, I would recommend the Partial Translations version, as it is more polished and uses the Dragon Warrior monster names.

Is V where you end up playing as your kids? I think I remember reading about that when Nintendo Power did their write up on the games (I believe it was July's issue). I'm so pumped for the DS releases. :)
I absolutely loved it, it's my favorite game in the series after VIII.
Awesome! I'm excited about playing it! Now, off to the Buying and Selling to find an adapter ;)
