Game Description |
Dragon Quest V is a turn-based RPG for the Super Nintendo.
While DQV's graphics and battle system aren't much different from its predecessor, it's highly praised for its story.
Players take the role of the young son of Papas, a famed swordsman. The first half of the game follows the Protagonist's misadventures as he follows Papas from place to place. At the story's midpoint, the Protagonist's world is turned upside-down, and a time skip ensues. With adulthood comes adult responsibilities, and dilemmas the likes of which had scarcely been seen in RPGs prior.
The most fascinating new gameplay element is the ability to capture monsters and fight alongside your team, resulting in more characters to recruit, and more potential battle strategies.

Translation Description |
This translation has turned out to be quite well done, I must say. I remember playing the original version that was released on Halloween of 2001, and there was room for improvement (actually, there was room for improvement on both patches at that point, but that's besides the point). Regardless, improve it did. Two bugfixes were released, both of which fixed some grammatical and formatting problems, and now this translation looks quite professional. Stylistically, this translation strives to be more literal, and as such there's aren't many liberties taken with fleshing things out. Whether you like this or not is simply a matter of taste. |
