Dragon Quest V DS Music - Battle Theme

Dragon Quest V Hand of the Heavenly Bride.
This is the DS version of the battle theme.

People getting here after hearing Yakuza Like a Dragon's mini boss theme is a remix of this one. Man, that hero likes Dragon Quest.

[@otakamerd1220]

The idea of your MC being seemingly worse than both your father and your kids whilst being the one who grows and develops the most of all is a pretty interesting dynamic. The Hero is the total opposite of his father who was a man of physical strength who could literally tear doors off their hinges. The Hero is more wise, he's the only hero who is never pictured clad in armor or a sword and shield. Your kids being the next step in that is quite nice too, they're everything you accomplished embodied - being able to wield the strongest magic and weapons.

[@MrVariant]

Lol moms don't matter for their stats 😂, only hair color, but I see people like the "depth" of this silent protagonist. Just wish you could get monsters earlier. There is also that dq your story movie, which lol I wonder what the choice was. Just blonde woman but it does star the player playing as the hero.

[@TheCheeseMovesSideways]

Thing is, the MC was never "worse". He more than lived up to Pankraz's expectations and i argue exceeds it, being the one who can finally find the legendary hero who turns out to be his own son while also succesfully protecting his own family from the same fate that Pankraz's family has to suffer. Physically and battlewise he's also his father's equal, though we don't know for sure if that's a fact or not because we never see Pankraz's prime strength and capabilities but i'm sure that he's equal to him if not more.

[@MrVariant]

@TheCheeseMovesSideways meh his kids bailed him out and the different wives only changed their hair colors 🤣 not even power boosts like dbs super saiyan gods.

[@TheCheeseMovesSideways]

@@MrVariant tf is you talking about?

[@MrVariant]

@TheCheeseMovesSideways deny it all you want, that is a lame marriage feature to have kids that aren't different as though moms don't pass much on. At least phantasy star 3 gave them stories and the part layman's, magic, though gen 3 was lazy with the same overall plot.

The nostalgia train. I remember playing the shit out of this. Story was amazing, characters were amazing. Gameplay was amazing. And people lord and praise Final Fantasy when this existed?

[@Haganeren]

Well.. Not really. Dragon Quest especially at this time 1992) was way more popular in Japan than any Final Fantasy release. And for USA well, it wasn't out yet even if Final Fantasy IV existed. It doesn't strike me as surprising that a game that isn't out in a country isn't very popular here.

[@christianlopez707]

@@Haganeren Another problem is that Dragon Quest games seem to have horrible timing when releasing over here. DQ1-3 had come out at a time where jrpgs weren't that popular, I dont believe we got any of the snes titles until much later and by the time we got DQ7 the Ps2 was already out.

[@IronsaintEntertainment]

History would've looked upon Dragon Quest much differently in the west had Enix actually localized Dragon Quest V and/or VI for SNES. So many more people would have nostalgia for the series had they gotten to, just like they do for Final Fantasy IV and especially VI, Secret of Mana, and Chrono Trigger have with people here. Which reminds me, Dragon Quest VI was actually localized (as Dragon Warrior V) and ready to be released according to Robert Jerauld, the ex-producer at Enix America before its closure in the 90s. He said this regarding it: "It was Dragon Quest VI that was fully translated and ready to go as Dragon Warrior V. If I remember correctly, it would have been too expensive to bring Dragon Quest V over and thus Enix Japan didn't give permission for localization. Dragon Quest VI (Dragon Warrior V) simply wasn't finished by the time Enix America had closed. Had nothing to do with the visual quality and everything to do with Enix America not being around to release [it]. As I mentioned, we had the game basically finished and ready to go, but we didn't have the time to cert the title and finish testing. I've heard the various rumors that Nintendo of America was looking for polygon based games at the time, but that was never something I experienced or heard while working at Enix. NoA wanted the game, but we weren't around to release it." The lack of a Dragon Quest games in the SNES era in the west permanently skewed the franchise's importance and affected its future in the North American market that it is only now just starting to recover from by "rebooting itself" with consumers here thanks to recent releases, spin-offs, and especially Dragon Quest XI, and most likely a character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate if the rumors are real.

[@gamerprince-tl5hg]

@@IronsaintEntertainment Damn thanks for the good read. I had no idea DQ6 was actually ready to be released in the west and be called "Dragon Warrior V" Thanks for that I learned something new today! And yeah its REALLY sad that Enix missed a huge opportunity not releasing an SNES DQ game in the west. Especially with not localizing DQV. If that did release in the west, I know it would have been very popular because of how much an emotional game it is. On the bright side though, those rumors seemed to have been true! The DQ11, 8, 3, and 4 heroes are all coming to Smash!! And just based off of that alone, it's causing many people to look into the DQ series. DQ11 S also seems to be gaining popularity among Switch owners. This might finally be the big hit the DQ series needed!!!
