Arti 03/20/21 8:16:06 AM #145:	#2 - Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (SNES, 1992 JP; played on DS, 2009) Dragon Quest V is an unique game in its own series and much different from most of its other SNES RPG counterparts. The main thing about Dragon Quest V is that DQV Hero, the main character, is no legendary hero and never is throughout the entirety of the game. Dragon Quest V simply tells the story of this character's life. At a short glance, there's nothing very special about Dragon Quest V. Like all of the games in the series, it's mostly a basic turn-based RPG. The Hero can tame monsters and have them join the party. I especially used the Golem, Slime Knight, and of course the Sabrecat. Where Dragon Quest V excels is in the story it tells, and even on the DS some of the cutscenes it goes through are some of the most powerful that I've seen, and of course all of them are spoilers, so I won't talk about most of them here. But this writeup would be pretty short otherwise, so I'll talk about this a bit. About five hours into the game, Pankraz's sacrifice is a powerful cutscene that sets the stage for how the game continues. The cutscene is done like a regular boss fight, with the two monsters repeatedly attacking him while he simply takes it as his son is being held captive. It's simplistic but works extremely well in getting you to play more after that point. I had a playthrough topic on the board here when I was playing through this, but at that point I didn't want to write anymore and just wanted to keep playing after that, and the playthrough topic was eventually abandoned shortly after I played through these events. Dragon Quest V is simply a special game throughout its entire runtime, and I can still remember most of the game even ten years after I played through it. It's no surprise to me that Yuji Horii has said it's his favorite of the series either, of the games that I've played it's definitely his best work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETRpiz734Sw --- http://backloggery.com/articuno2001/sig.gif azuarc may not know the strength of songs in VGMC, but he conquered the guru in Game of the Decade 2!
