Dragon Quest V: Trying to Not Constantly Cry
Dragon Quest V: Jokes of the Heavenly Dad
It's hilarious you should say that because I can really see Rodrigo Briscoletti stanning these dad jokes
Love that me I love that
I got stupidly lucky and had a metal slime join me in that cave at the beginning. He served as a decent wall for many enemies throughout the adventure. Bosses would critical him to death, though.
You are stupidly lucky bastard
Stupidly lucky bastard
I have 2
Stupid bastard
Bastard of luck who is also stupid.
“Don’t cry it’s Dragon Quest 5.” Ha no you ARE going to cry this is Dragon Quest 5 and it pulls no punches
That post tower scene.... It made this my 3rd favourite RPG of all time. The casino amd MP strictness be damned.
I'm not crying. It's just raining...on my face
As divisive as Your Story was, I really gotta hand it to the filmmakers; they certainly picked the right story to adapt into a film.
Yeah even if the ending was a bit lackluster, most of the movie captured the essence of it and even my gf loved the plot and how cute the designs were.
"Come take a dive, It's Dragon Quest V!"
Better?
DarknessIsTheTruth much better!
ok boomer
@@Συναισθησις I'm a Millenial.
@@DarknessIsTheTruth I was joking...about dad jokes...sorry
Sancho was the true hero of dragonquest 5 I mean waiting loyally all those years who would do that? Hori is clearly a don Quixote fan. If u don't get the reference just google it and you'll understand what I mean
Sancho Panza.
You’re my king. This is a great series to watch as DQ11S installs.
Ive comeback to rewatch these DQ videos multiple times a year for almost a decade now, theyre just amazing pieces of content, you did well on them, they are my comfort videos that i love watching to feel that things are alright even just for a few hours, DQ is a wholesome franchise with charming stories and characters so it makes you all fuzzy inside lol, but thank you for these amazing pieces of video man, just know for many ppl like me your videos are a happy place for us
I didn't read all the comments, but there is a small mistake about the monster catching part. DQV wasn't the first jRPG to introduce the feature. That honour goes to Megami Tensei on the Famicom 1987, if i remember correctly. The game that subsequently spawned the SMT franchise. Other than that, really good retrospective.
Well "the first time ever bit" was in respect to the Dragon Quest series, though I admit I embellished it a bit with the whole "before Pokemon!" thing.
No problem, it's just that being a huge fan of the SMT franchise, I tend to be a bit nitpicky about this kinda things. Are you going to go on and do VIII and IX down the line? I like this series retrospective and interested in your opinion about this two games.
I'm actually working on the script for VIII right now! Hoping to get it out before the end of the month.
NICE!
Lord Ice I see u are another man of culture as well
My family in this game
King Piccolo (me)
Queen Bianca
Prince Erdrick
Princess Zelda
And our loyal family pet Saber!
No, Piccolo (with a beard) is the final boss
@@Morgil27 But I'm the guy with the Turban!! Also my other charicter names in the DQs I've played are
1= Hiro
2= Midrick( combined his kingdom's name with Erdrick)
3= Trinity ( went with a female protagnist for the lolz)
7= Heero
8= Guy (named him after the main protagnist of Gaogaigar)
11= Lapis (gave him android 17's real name)
I named the kids Raz and Lena after the hero’s parents.
"Best believe I ain't talking no jive when it comes to Dragon Quest Five".
*FIXED*
it's a real shame you don't have more subs given the quality of your work.
Agreed!
Ah yes, me, my dear children and my wonderful -wife- golem.
"Dad where's mom?"
"The golem is your mother, my child."
This video is so good. Playing through XI now with no prior knowledge of the previous DQs and your series is truly the best thing ever
"Along with this beautiful, majestic symbol of _Romance Dawn"_
Me: I see what you did there (looks at manga on shelf in background)
:^) I see you seein' me
Broo, I barely leave comments but I love your style of videos they are genuinely so entertaining, informative and fun to watch, I did get some spoilers but what can you do, parents be dying lol 😅
DQV on the SNES didn't have the bag feature, it was introduced in DQVI.
Yep! That was my mistake!
But it did have, well, 2 or 3 pages of items per character, so inventory wasn't a problem.
@@chadhartsees I'm playing through the OG version atm and the only complaint inverntory-wise is that there isn't a stacking feature, every medicinal herb is a separate slot, for example. It adds difficulty but not the right kind...
Oh dang... We got Yoshi over here schooling people on the DQ IQ?
I just got dq5 and my main team is the hero, the two kids and a chimera. I would use Sancho when leveling up and am currently trying to recruit a cureslime
For Dragon Quest IV, it is not only the adoptive parents who died, there is also the son of the woodcutter, who may or may not have had a child with an angelic girl and died afterwards when hit by a lightning as punishment.
The Zenith Dragon was a dick.
My good sir, I have recently discovered your channel and simply cannot stop watching your content. As a huge fan of dragon quest, your videos have been an absolute treasure for me. You deserve thousands upon thousands of subscribers and I hope more people discover you and your content. Thank you.
Ok, I noticed that your reviews since 4 have been getting better and more accurate. You're doing your research finally. Good for you man!
Dude, Dragonquest is probably the biggest unsung hero of roll playing game progression, of all mother trucking time.
"Your story"
We don't talk about that one.
Your Story pissed me off so badly!!
Pissed the fuck all over the great " strength of family " narrative that 5 presented for some VR/Blue pill/Wonderland bull shit!
I just block the ending out of my mind other than that i liked it
I was literally about to mention that movie. The ending was unneeded.
@@DICEBOY22 I enjoyed it...:p
My favourite Dragon Quest. 💙
My favorite part of this game is when I gave the second boss of DQ1 a crossbow the size of a ballista and watched him solo the game's final fight.
This series got me back on the DQ train! And got me to spend $60 on a copy of V! Nice job, man!
How? All of the copies I've found are $120 plus
At least ones that are in English
@@research_winter luck 😬 if I recall I believe I used the Facebook market
I've been watching a lot of videos recently trying to convince me that Dragon Quest is as good as Japan seems to think it is and so far you are the only person to succeed. Congrads. I will say that I did like DQ8 okay when I played it back in the day , but it never finished it (my PS2 doesn't work so great anymore even though I still own the game). It wasn't until I played the excellent DQ Builders that I really got a hankering for the series. Currently I'm pre-boat in DQ11 and I'm enjoying the game quite a lot.
WOW that's a big compliment thank you! Oh gosh DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS IS SO GOOD. Only played through the 1st Chapter of that one, but I'm keen on going back to it at some point! Maybe in prep for Builders 2?
@@GCVazquez it's actually really good. I hope you do a video on it some day. I'm still enjoying DQ11 right now. Time to boat for me was 16 hours. My only complaint is the music. It's kind of mediocre and they reuse the same songs too much. Still a really good game though.
If u wanna hear the most convincing speech in favor of Dragon Quest, you’ve gotta watch Tim Roger’s videos about it for Kotaku. He’ll change ur mind no doubt
This game has THE best storyline out of the entire series. That's right, the ENTIRE SERIES, including the newest games, including 11! The story is freaking AMAZING in this game! It also has the best Waifu in the entire series, aka Bianca.
This is some high quality review work!
I really enjoyed this video! I love dragon quest and seeing this video makes me want to go back and play them all again.
I recommend the mobile ports for the older ones! They're cheap and look really nice.
GC Positive I own all the ds games, so I will probably play those again. Although, I have been very curious about the mobile versions and maybe I'll check them out! I have 8 for Ps2. Will you do a video about 8?
you really shouldn't have used the DS Remake while explaining the "that was new " part since all the remakes already had them in.
I finally gave in and got this game on my phone today.
...It's alright so far.
Still the king after all these years, DQV game of the year 2020
@5:06 Dragon Quest 5 didn't introduced boomerangs and whips actually. NES DQ3 has thorn whip and NES DQ4 had a boomerang
NERD
Also I don't really mean it.
Also I am new to the DQ series, so I didn't know that.
If I remember, they don't do the same thing, though. I don't think boomerang hits everyone, and I don't think thorn whip hit the entire group. I could be really wrong, however.
@@nintendo8127 Whip was originally a single target weapon but in later version, all released after DQ5, it was updated to hit entire groups.
Boomerang in DQ4 was also a single target weapon and replaced with Hunter's Bow in later versions, since it was a single target weapon.
I think megami tensei did the monster taming thing first.
Posting it here since this is my most recent get. Before the demo of Dragon Quest XI on switch, I had no games in the series. Now I have 1-3 on Switch, 5 on my new phone, 7 and 8 on 3ds and XI on switch, and this retrospective has been a reason I've jumped so hard into the series.
Thank you! 😊
The music is great in this one. Also the purple turban is awesome
I haven't played this game in like 10 years and seeing Pankraz is still upsetting.
anime is the same. so many stories where parent are never around or are dead or something.
and then theres stories like pokemon where people hate their kids so much they send them out on adventures at only 10 years old to enslave living creatures and force them to battle (not cruel at all)
But you notice that the Pokemon are pretty sadistic? They are all like, oh Ash I disagree THUNDERBOLT GET THE FUCK DOWN
The “fuck off...dad” made me subscribe
You made me check my archive. An ex got me IV, V, and VI. I remember getting mostly through IV. I couldn't figure out where to go at the end. I thought I never played V.
IV wnd V are missing from their cases. VI is still plastic wrapped. DS, if it wasn't obvious.
Hell, this game's narrative had me hooked right when your father dies in front of your eyes, you're taken and put into slavery as a child, and you end up in slavery for your entire childhood, and then finally escape as a grown teenager. I had never seen anything like that before in any RPG. And that was just near the beginning of the game.
Never played the OG DQIV or DQV so I never knew how many QoL features introduced in V.
8:07 Final Fantasy ALSO had that issue for the Famicom games.
3:10 not before megaten :P
Interesting, Dragon Quest did monster taming before Pokemon. Also, the amount of new stuff they added was certainly in need of its own segment.
+Adam McDermott I really hate the little intro I made for it. It's so hokey!
Ah, it does the job.
Well shin megami tensei started the whole monster capturing system
The only time I see people suggesting to play 1, 2, and 3 is so they can appreciate how far DQ has come. I don't see anyone actually saying those games were fun... Just pure grinding for 15 hours.
You look adorable in the crown :)
No wonder protagonist wanted to skip the childhood chapter in “dragon quest your story“
I need to find IV, V and VI for the DS! I need help! I have VII, VIII and IX though(wish the servers were still running for 9!)
this man needs more subs!
Well hey! If you know anyone that would get something out of my content, share it with them!
How I stalked some dude with an exposed nipple and stumbled upon the Zenithian Sword is a manga for its further story
I've always been torn over whether the PS2 or DS remake is my favorite, but ultimately you can't lose with a game this good. That orchestrated OST is godly though
Im playing through 7 atm on my 3DS!! I found the cart for $35 and picked it up straight away ❤️ im up to emberdale atm and falling in love even more with the campaign and series! I did 60 hours of 11 before selling my PS4 sadly and now have lost my PSN due to forgetting passwords and my DOB apparently not being correct when i try to reset my password -.-
4:56 You are correct. 4 for 5 since Dragon Warrior 3 you can revive Ortega with a wish from -Shenron- Divenegon
Congratulations on your videos. They're really well made and funny. SUBSCRIBED!!
Hey, if you read this:
Which would you recommend the most, DQ 4 or DQ 5? Should I play 4 before 5?
Thanks!
MusicRed 4 before 5, but they're both very good! I personally prefer 4 over 5 because of the way it delivers each character, but 5 has the better story and gameplay overall.
And thank you!
Awesome, thanks for replying. Will play 4 and 5.
IV not only has dead adoptive parents. The hero's woodcutter father is also dead, struck by lightning, I think.
Was DQ V before Shin Megami Tensei?
By about a month! They had the same idea at the same time!
I’m playing this on iOS right now. This game is amazing. Pokémon and all other monster catching games owe DQV their lives and success.
And DQV owes Megami tensei for his live and success.
@@ShadowArmyDes no it doesn’t. DQ was the first RPG franchise released on the NES predating final fantasy I by a year and some months. Do your research.
DQ was the first famicon JRPG,but megami tensei was the first monster catching famicom JRPG.
@@ShadowArmyDes are you serious? Magami was back on NES?
@@JMrealgamer Yes,but only in Japan.
I’ve loved dragon quest since 2009 or whenever dq9 was released in the USA and have never found a channel that actually articulates how I feel about each game; dq9 was my first and then I got so obsessed from watching content of dq8 that I wanted so badly but GameStops did not have it which luckily led me to play all the rest except for the first 3 and my favorite till this day has got to be dq5...I am a family oriented person and have always wondered why people don’t create games, stories, movies, and manga around these types of family dynamics like come on if I’m any way u get stuck in a world like this your family would have to be strong and would be far better allies than just some strangers that are tied to you thanks to destiny and mostly because who doesn’t love Bianca and want to marry someone like her 🥳
Genuinely didn't know the Dragon Quest CGI Film was based on a story from one of the original games (V) before this lol.
Was a cool movie to a non-Dragon Quester, would be interesting to hear your thoughts on it at some point too.
this game starts super strong but falls super flat around 10 hours in... got bored to death... DQ3 reigns supreme
12:25 this is just for me
It the best joke
Dragon quest 5 on the snes had a single button for checking barrels and talking to npcs. It wasn't new for the DS remake
4:57 You forgot in Dragon Quest 2 None of the main characters have Mothers or Queen's to speak of, we didn't get a mom till Dragon Quest 3
Why play the originals? Aesthetics. The 8 and 16-bit art is simple, clean, and easily readable. The whole rotating camera gimmick and weird warping textures of the ArtePiazza games never set well with me. I find it...fugly, I guess?
That said, I do still recommend this particular remake because of one thing: The party chat! It's just brilliant.
Agree with this. Dw4 is still my all time favorite game, I still prefer it over the DS remake despite the DS remake being “better” and I always will.
With that said, if not for the DS remakes I would have never gotten to play 5 and 6, and while 4 is my favorite game of all time (since I was like 7 lol), I can’t argue that 5 is a better game overall.
And yup party chat! It’s so solid!
i prefer the remakes as they fix the leveling curve. less grinding.
Best review series I've ever came across, if only I could leave multiple thumbs up. Damn it TH-cam x) but what a fantastic job :)
Great series man.
More like a modern doctor performing surgery with a scalpel instead of a robot. It's less automated, requires more skill and finesse, but can result in failure far easier...
I enjoy these until you start comparing stuff you haven't experienced haha if I can read Twilight, you can play some good games
I hope they re release this game, I can’t get a hold of a copy without paying out £200.
The game that reminds you marriage before gaming I hate how they didn't let me play the waking slimes mini game
wow, all the new stuff surprised me, ive only played the remakes of 1-3 and never played 4
5:53 ah yes, royalty free music for RPG Maker
I really want to play this game but I gotta know, is it better on DS than mobile or is it the same?
I'm really not sure personally as I haven't touched the mobile port! You might wanna do some digging on the wiki for any differences.
Your phone screen looks better than two old screens with two bezels between. The only gameplay difference I know of is a new item in the casino to increase the chances of monsters joining you.
PS2 version is the definitive version of DQ V.
Hey man! You think you'll review the Dragon quest monsters Games?
Absolutely
@@GCVazquez
Awesome! Those games definitely deserve attention!
Isn't the medallion academy from dq11 use music from dq5?
It might? I'm not sure!
I mean the 4 originals before this (including Dragon Warrior: Monsters) I would still play because of the story line
Wasn't DQ 1-3 rather hollow/shallow in compare to the later ones? In terms of story that is!
This monster taming stuff sounds a lot like Shin Megami Tensei, I gotta check it out
Awesome video series!
LOL. Great opening.
what about the combat/classes/skills? plz in detail !!
Don't feel bad about the Spanish accent GC. I'm part Mexican and because the first foreign language I learned was Japanese all attempts at a Spanish accent come out sounding Japanese.
what game is that at 7:09? I'm sure I've played it I just can't remember what it was, oh and great videos love rewatching the dq retrospective series
Thats Evolution Worlds! Originally for the Dreamcast I think but ported to the Gamecube, where I played it as one of my first games for the system lol. Charming characters n stuff but gahdamn the dungeons were boring af
SNES. 8.5/10
DS 9/10
3:07 what about Shin Megami Tensei?
What century are they going to to release this properly in the west on PS4 or PS5 for Us. Please get back to me. I love the heroes really do. But I want the old fashioned way release if this game especially and they will get great satisfaction
I would love the PS2 version of this game to make it to the West in some way, but hey, at least we're getting a really snazzy movie about it soon!
How do you tame monsters in this game dumb question
Get the wagon, beat the recruitable monster last and there will be a chance they will join you
I expect a better pun for Dragon Quest 6.
+ChrisTheFields I already have it written down. It's gonna be great! I'm legit excited to say the line on camera.
Good stuff. when are the next coming?
+Theologamer Let me lay it down: I've got one video not Dragon Quest related coming up, and the season two finale is DQ VI.
Are ya gonna do dq 11
Was it before SMT?
Nope! Megami Tensei had monster taming long before.
That’s what I figured
Wait you can get these on ps2? I have them for DS.
Ryan Navin There was a PS2 REMAKE of DQ5 with full orchestration and new models released only in Japan, however I’m pretty sure that an English fan patch for it exists somewhere. There is a pre patched ISO of it too, but that’s a little more shaky to recommend on a legal or moral ground depending on your views on piracy. DQ4 had a PS1 remake that looked exactly like the DS version. The only remake worth it in my opinion (other than the DS versions) is the PS2 remake of 5.
Cool . Im playing DQ 7 at the moment on 3ds. Then I will finally play 9 I guess I have had it for years but never played it for the reason I have so many game son back log still need to play FF 15 as well. I hope the Switch version of 11 is like the ps4 version because I do not have a ps4 nor do I plan on getting one any time soon. Oh and I have lotsa ISOs just played the remakes of Phantasy Star 1 and 2 on it.
Ryan Navin Just a side note, pretty sure there’s a video tutorial of how to get “self made” ps2 discs on a ps2. What id probably recommend is soft modding your ps2, obtaining the Japanese version of DQ5, and insert the patch into the game while its running using Homebrew software. Don’t exactly remember the whole process.
I have a tiny silver slim ps2 don't know how to mod as ive never modded any of my systems. The closest thing to modding ive done is buying the PS2 HDD with FF11 back when I had a fat ps2. Played ff11 on pc and ps2 for about 4 years.
Ryan Navin then honestly I wouldn’t be against emulation. Emulation itself is legal, just make sure you obtain the actual copy of DQ5 on eBay (it’s actually reasonably cheap) and then rip the disc to your computer, then patch that disc image with the patch.
...but I also understand that the pre patched disc is still a possibility, and is probably only a few google searches away. Only mentioning this for completion’s sake, but downloading ps2 games you don’t own, patched or not, is done at one’s own risk.
Most over rated off the series. I don't say that to mean it's a terrible game, as it isn't, but it really isn't as strong an entry as most of the others. I would guess the quality of life improvements mentioned and the story gimmick has lead to it's over inflation, but I will wholeheartedly be happy for people who really enjoy it.
we get it, you didn't grow up with a nes or snes.
is 3d???????????'
Oh my god.. Is that a JOJO reference?
The terrible localization and puns are a reason to play the original versions - or the fan translated version of the PS2 DQV.
The visuals are more appealing too, imo. There something charming about the look of early SNES/Super Famicom games. The DS games also look really ugly and samey with their PS1-Era 3D-Environments.
I wish u wouldn't put the dumb drunk sounding sound FX in there. Or the constant what am I a charity case.
3:10
And then about a month Later shin megami did it.
And 5 years before Megami Tensei did it. There were other games to do it before as well, but the original Megaten in 1987 is what put it on the map.
