View Full Version : Let's Play Dragon Quest V!
Pumpkin

So Dragon Quest V won the poll and I have to say I am very excited to play it.
With that being said, the game doesn't run properly. I may have found something to fix it, but no guarantees. So if this Let's Play stops suddenly, I apologize. I really want to play this game, so it would be great if I can.
I have the option to name my hero, but I don't know what the default name is because there is none! So I name our hero after my son, Michael.
We start out in a castle
55169
Apparently Dragon Quest V will be good for my Spanish studies :lol:
55170
That's an interesting description of both a baby and an ox.
Then our hero's father, who has an absurd moustache, comes up with some really dumb name that I can't remember like Madison or something. His wife than smartly suggests Michael
55171
Don't you be insulting my son's name :nonono:
Then the woman coughs
55172
Is she alright?
55173
Doesn't matter! Logo time!
55174
My moustachio'd father than laughs at the absurdity and I find myself on a ship in an interesting purple outfit. I do some exploring.
55175
My father must be very special
55176
What's he looking for?
55177
That's a long time!
Anyways, the ship docks and I meet a man with a very rude daughter who storms by loudly.
55178
Mr. Briscoletti references spaghetti a lot which, coupled with the Spanish man from earlier, makes me think that Dragon Quest is very much not in to stereotypes.
He also introduces us to his other daughter, who is much more polite if not a bit delicate and sensitive.
So me, basically.
I go socialize with the daughters before we leave because yay kids my age!
55179
She then tells me that's her job and I am so far very unimpressed.
55180
And this is somehow her sister. I like her a lot more.
So we head off the ship and say our goodbyes.
55181
Business :erm:
Is my dad a mafioso?
55182
Look how adorable little Michael is :jess:
Anyways, since I'm a little kid I of course go get myself in to trouble.
55183
Kay
So he drags me all the way to our destination
55184
Literally everybody stops to say hi to him, ask how he's doing, comment about how big Michael is getting, etc. My father has charisma like nobody's business. Everyone loves him. Even his rival confesses to missing him
So we head to Mr. Spanish's house and there is another girl there because her mother came to town for some medicine. Grown up talk is boring, decides the little girl, so she drags me upstairs.
55185
No.
She says this is okay because we were really little when we played together.
55186
Thank you!
She tries to read me a story but says its too hard and gives up. Its pretty cute because any attempts to read myself are met with "It looks interesting, but Michael can't read it!"
I also get to shamelessly dig in people's closets and drawers for treasure :greenie:

Any time I read Pancho's dialogue out loud he sounds Italian to me. o_O
Pumpkin
05-21-2014, 09:55 AM
So my father leaves again because he likes ditching me, and Bianca goes away.
5518755188
There there mi amigo
So I wander around town exploring and I buy some stuff from the weapons shop
55189
Thank you, judgmental weapon shop owner :|
55190
:omgomg:
55191
Bianca's mom needs some herbs. Hmm... I feel a connection
He tells me he went in to a cave and hasn't come out. To the cave!
55192
:stare:
Anyways, I rescue him and he's super happy and goes home. I also talk to a slime who asks me not to hurt him and he tells me stuff that I already forgot.
55193
Okay, bye
55194
*sigh*
So we accompany them home and the woman brings the herbs to her husband.
55195
Yeah, I figured
So while the adults are talking AGAIN they shoo me off AGAIN and tell me to bring Bianca along.
I find these awful kids picking on a poor "cat"
55196
I suddenly like Bianca much more
They agree to leave the cat alone and give it to me
55197
What the heck kind of request is that?!
55198
That doesn't even... what?!?! :stare:
I try to leave the village so I can go do this but the guard won't let me leave :(
55199
I went through all of that for a cold?
Then I get shoo'd off to bed.
But what about cat :G
55200
Is it Bianca?
55201
It's Bianca.
Alright, this is what I'm talking about :smug:
+20 respect points for that girl.
Next time, I will attempt to rescue the kitty!
Some first impressions:
This seems like a really cute game. The map kind of reminds me of FFT, where you rotate the screen to view things from different angles. The characters also remind me of that. Michael looks like he could be selling weird magical charms at a bazaar :P
There also seems to be an option to talk with the characters in my party, which seems pretty neat and I'm excited to try that out!

Man, I had so much fun playing this game. Hope it doesn't crap out on you!

Man, I had so much fun playing this game. Hope it doesn't crap out on you!
Me too. I'm scared :cry:

Now you think it's cute. Just wait until fucked up shit starts going down and you are all 'no this is so sad why did this have to happen!?'
And then you get awesome puns and it's okay again.
Pumpkin
05-21-2014, 10:02 AM
So far I am conflicted about Bianca.
Part of me feels :nonono: and then another part of me feels :love:
Pumpkin
05-21-2014, 08:32 PM
If you remember where we left off, Bianca and I were sneaking out past my father
55218
Who sleeps with his eyes wide open
in order to go defeat some ghosts and rescue a cat. Such is life.
55219
GO HOME
I finally get to try out my talk feature
55220
And learn a bit more about Bianca
55221
Look how adorable she is :jess:
Also, I do enjoy the way the world map works in this game. The spots get filled in and more vibrantly coloured as you explore them.
So after worrying I might be lost, I finally find the tower thing. The front doors are all locked so I have to sneak in the back (hee hee)
As soon as I enter, however, this happens:
55222
I get locked in.
If that isn't bad enough
55223
Some skeletons nab Bianca.
After some searching, I find this:
55224
Well this is disturbing :stare:
55225
:|
Which means the next grave is probably
55226
Yep
55227
YOU'RE WELCOME :stare:
I do some more creepy castle exploring and run in to this lady
55228
Good name
5522955230
But it turns out Mister and Miss Count couldn't have any children, which she believes angered the monsters who then took over her castle.
55231
*sigh* I gueesss
Then I find some more ghosts hanging around, including this fellow:
55232
Who also wants me to free his ghost people from the Egyptians monsters.
55233
Ugh this is getting awfully complicated.
Anyways, after sneaking in to the kitchen and watching some ghost slaves being forced to dance against their will for all of eternity, I find the torch and head to see the ring leader.
I find him and he offers me to come to dinner. No thank you, I've played enough of these games to know you plan to cook me. But he keeps asking until I accept
55234
I told you
So the chef, who is uncomfortable cooking kids, gets threatened with his life (non-life) and immediately begins to season me. Then I get raised up for a skeleton feast, which I refuse by defeating them in battle. At this point I'm pretty angry and I head back up to see whats his name
Which leads to my first boss fight!
55235
I have the most adorable battle party
55236
Yeah you'd better you jerkface
55237
Uh huh, sure.
He asks if I can forgive him and I say yes and I hope I don't regret this.
Meanwhile the Counts prepare to rest in RIP peace.
55238
D'aww. I also find a weird gold orb on one of the graves.
55239
Quickly indeed :erm:
55240
He's not stupid :nonono:
Then Bianca asks what we should name him, while also mentioning that her mom is allergic to animals so I have to keep him yaaay :love:
She suggests Saber, which seems as good of a name as any!
55241
D'aww :love:
I have my new friend, what kind of shenanigans will I get in to next? Find out next time!
Psychotic
05-21-2014, 09:45 PM
Sorry but Bianca's face is the stuff of nightmares!
Pumpkin
05-21-2014, 10:22 PM
55242
And so our ghostly adventure comes to an end, and we head back to our village. But not before Bianca stops and gives me a present.
55243
She ties it around Saber's fur awww :love:
55244
I have a feeling we will.
So off we head back to our village.
55245
Then my dad gets all busy AGAIN and tells me not to leave the village. Always crampin mah style
Here is our new friend :jess:
55246
So I head out to try and get in to some trouble and meet a man who looks suspiciously like me and asks to see my gold orb.
55247
Okay :erm:
Also, there's been some suspicious disappearing stuff happening around town.
This old man gossips about my father
55248
:erm:
Finally I head to the bar because... you know >.>
55249
Turns out this fairy needs help and has been pulling all of the pranks to get someone to notice her.
55250
Kay
55251
Uh huh
55252
Gah, you're just the lamest, dad. You don't know what it's like to be my age!
So he leaves and fairy lady brings me to magical fairy land
55253
Oh my
552545525555256
Looks pretty nice here to me
Pumpkin
05-21-2014, 10:33 PM
So the Queen Fairy lady, who is much loved across fairy land, sends Honey with me to help get the flute back.
55257
What does Honey have to say?
55258
It's funny she says that because she NEVER HEALS ME! I always have to do it!!! Darn it Honey :stare:
I had to point this out:
55259
That bad apple is literally named bad apple, like a bad influence. It made me chuckle :lol:
So I head North where it is said the flute stealer went, but I couldn't go through because the door was locked. Then I remembered what the NPC's had said about a certain dwarf being banished because he wrote a book about picking locks. So I look around for another area to find him.
Also, one thing I am not liking about this game is how I never wake up where I go to sleep. Stupid Inns.
So, I find the cave and the 'banished' dwarf guy and it turns out everything was a misunderstanding. The dwarf who stole the flute though, Dwight, doesn't know that.
55260
Way to shamelessly push your book on me.
So I find the book but then another issue comes up. Michael can't read! He couldn't even read the warning sign let alone a book. What are we going to do about that?
55261
:|
Anyways with my newly absorbed wisdom I head back to the north and unlock the area in a very annoying dungeon that has me slipping and sliding all over the place.
Eventually I find Dwight
55262
Yeah.
So I beat him up to get the flute back (violence is always the answer)
55263
I feel like the whole fight could have been avoided here
But then the Ice Queen shows up out of literally nowhere and tells me she is really the one responsible
Look, it's like Final Fantasy end bosses, just happening a lot sooner in the gmae!
55264
Another boss fight!
55265
I defeat her and head back to Fairy Villa
55266
The Treacle gives me tons of compliments :smug:
55267
Honey also gives me a stick to remember her by.
Treacle plays the flute and calls spring
55268
Yay a happy ending! And I get sent back home
55269
What kind of trouble has my dad gotten in to this time? Stay tuned and find out!

Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 03:26 AM
Why sad :onoes:
Sephex
05-22-2014, 03:32 AM
....no reason...
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 05:45 AM
As I'm heading out to see my dad, I drop something from my pocket. It's the branch Honey gave me!
55290
He asks if I want to keep them in my room as decoration and I say yes.
55291
Pretty :jess:
Then I go looking for my father
55292
Wonder what that could be about
Also, relevant to what I just did with the fairies:
55293
I meet my dad at the Church as he prays and then we meet by the front gate
55294
So I head out. My father mentions something about settling down soon because this is a lot of mysterious traveling for a young boy.
55295
He shows me the river, saying what a pretty sight it is.
Then for some reason he back tracks before turning around to the castle despite being in a hurry?
55296
WELL THEN WHY ARE WE BACKTRACKING
Anyways we arrive at the castle and once again my dad shoo's me off
55297
I'm not allowed to hear any important conversations :colbert:
So I go explore the castle
I meet the Queen Consort
55298
Prince Wilbur, however, has a different opinion
55299
I go exploring some more and get a lot of badmouthing about Prince Harry
553005530155302
Seems there's some family drama going on.
I then meet the infamous Prince Harry, who asks me to be his lackey. I finally agree, because he makes me, and then he says this
55303
Really losing all sympathy for you, Harry :nonono:
With that, I head back to see if my father has finished his grown up talk.
55310
Great :|
I find my dad who is apparently not allowed in Harry's room because Harry dislikes him. The first person to dislike Pankraz!
55304
Just because we're both kids? The guy is a jerk :colbert:
So I go see the Prince and he tells me I have to go get a lackey badge from the chest in the next room. I know there's nothing there because I already examined the chest, but that doesn't matter.
When I come back, Prince Harry has disappeared. So I go get my father and as I bring my father in to the room, Prince Harry has reappeared.
55305
Then I go back in and he's vanished again
Gettin real tired of your crap, Harry.
So I examine the spot he keeps disappearing from and find a secret staircase.
55306
Likewise :stare:
Then some random dudes bust in and grab Prince Harry
55307
I follow them out but they're just gone
55308
So I go and find a responsible adult
55309
He says we should keep this on the DL and goes chasing after them. And might I say, he can certainly move
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 05:56 AM
A little girl I spoke to mentioned something about Northeast, so that's where I'm heading!
I eventually find some weird place with what appear to be child kidnappers
55311
Why... why are you telling me this?!?!
55312
Uh oh, this doesn't sound good!
I eventually find my father beating up effortlessly on some baddies. He tells me he's surprised I made it on my own
55313
:blush:
We rush to find Prince Harry, who is napping in his cell
You can't see it well, but father guy busted the cell right open. If you look on the top right corner, you can see the door flying away
55314
:eek:
55315
Pleasant as always :|
Harry takes a fit because he doesn't want to become king and Pankraz slaps him for being selfish
55316
Then we run in to some more enemies, and he agrees to hold them off while I escape with Harry
My new dweeby looking ally
55317
I reach the exit BUT
5531855319
That's one special bishop.
This leads to a boss fight
55320
Which is long and drawn out and I just lose in the end :(
My father shows up
55321
Apparently the two are familiar with each other
55322
He summons two baddies that Pankraz takes down quickly.
Ladja, however, doesn't much appreciate this
55323
And threatens my life.
Which leads to this very sad battle
55324
:(
After the battle, a weakened Pankraz has some words for me
55325
Oh my
The bad bishop then hits him with a huge fireball, literally turning him to ash
55326
:(
This is very sad
He plans to use Michael and Harry as slaves and to set Saber off somewhere in the wild.
He also takes my gold orb
55327
And crushes it :(
I'm then carried off as Saber is abandoned and lonely :(
Many sadface
553285532955330
Where am I after 10 years? Stay tuned and find out!

05-22-2014, 06:02 AM
This game is pretty brutal at times. And it is so sad. ;_;
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 06:03 AM
It really was sad ;__;
And the way it happened too. He was a great man and now he's just a pile of ash :G
Sephex
05-22-2014, 06:18 AM
Yeah, that part was rough for me. Kind of glad I didn't play this game when I was younger.
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 08:38 AM
So 10 years have passed and I've been dying to see what happens next (too soon?)
55335
This is the sad state of our hero now. All that remains is his will and his purple hat.
55336
Apparently the Church came and destroyed the existing Church in order to make one that suits their religion. They are obviously using slaves to build it. They are also preaching that they can bring about peace
This is our now 17 year old hero:
55337
I speak to the slaves and its really just an incredibly sad state of affairs.
55338
Apparently they plan to kill all of the slaves afterwards. Some of the guards, however, are saying that everyone will be set free so long as they convert.
55339
This soldier is very distraught about his sister now being made a slave
I go find Harry who has changed a great deal in the past 10 years
55340
He then mentions how it must be tough knowing my mother is still out there and wanting to find her.
55341
We then get sent to bed and Harry talks to me about behaving more so I get whipped less
5534255343
It's good he's become a less obnoxious person, but this is still a sad turn of events. These were the wrong circumstances for this to happen.
So we start another day of work and I feel bad because I am doing no work, just going around talking to people. Then I find this scene:
55344
That is the soldier's sister. She was made a slave for arguing with one of the guards.
Harry and I are disgusted by their treatment of her and step in for a fight. After its over, some guards stop by
55345
The girl gets medical attention and we
55346
Go to jail :stare:
Harry is just chilling in prison, using it as an excuse to finally relax, when suddenly the soldier comes and unlocks us.
553475534855349
He says the bodies and the slaves things get sent away in the barrels so he suggests we hop in and escape.
55350
And away we go....
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 08:45 AM
We are lost out at sea before I finally awaken somewhere
5535155352
Apparently they found some of my clothes and I now seem to have a super cool cane :cool:
I don't care if it isn't a cane, don't ruin this for me
Harry says hi and what have you
55353
We watch her get baptized and she gives me somethings and the nuns are all super friendly. It's a nice change of pace. I do feel guilty about all of the other slaves, though :(
55354
A budding romance, perhaps?
So we say our goodbyes
55355
And Prince Harry joins me once again since he has nowhere to go.
55356
So I head to Fortuna, which seems to be a bustling city
55357
Apparently that happened conveniently 10 years ago!
I run in to some jerk who makes me buy stuff if I want to pass through his alley. Then I find this man
55358
Oh, exciting!
Someone mentions a special shop that's only open at night, I'm guessing this has something to do with it.
In the meantime, I find a casino
55359
AND THIS IS SO FUN I GET TO PLAY ON A BOARD GAME :omgomg::omgomg::omgomg:
Then I look up how to make it nighttime because I'd done everything I cared to do in town. I thought it would be event triggered, but apparently you just hang out on the world map until it changes. Oops :shobon:
55360
YAY :jess:
55361
And here I am with my horse and wagon. I do like how Harry is behind them :lol:
I miss Saber :(
Will I find Saber? I hope so! Tune in next time!
NeoCracker
05-22-2014, 08:48 AM
"Nun of the Above' is my single favorite Pun in the entirety if the DQ series. <3
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 08:13 PM
Small update, will update more later!
First, let's hear from our new horse friend
55366
Indeed Dusty. Indeed.
So I head back to my village which I've noticed is very close on the map
55367
Only to find it in horrible condition! Mr. Spanish's house is burned down and in a pile of poison, which means my flower is gone too :(. Houses everywhere are burned down and the town is largely abandoned.
I talk to that old man who asks about my father. I fill him in on everything, which he is saddened about.
55368
I think I have my new destination
55369
And now we have our villain. Except the nun says something about blaming my father because Harry is gone. This all seems very unfortunate
So we head in to the cave where we make a new friend!
55370
I think Whacka is a he.
Also, apparently the monsters don't listen properly until their wisdom hits 20, which would explain why Saber would sometimes not do what I wanted.
Nice to meet you Whacka!
55371
Hmm, yes, very.
I find a little area with some stuff and a chest that contains a note from my father
5537255373
Oh my :erm:
55374
This is already getting confusing
55375
Apparently the hero is the one who can make and use the Zenethian equipment. We need to find him because something about him being able to connect to the dark world.
5537655377
And now I have my new mission! I take the sword, which I cannot wield (and neither could my father) and head out of the cave to begin my search.
But where do I search?
5537855379
And I have my next destination!
Am I in for a reunion? Find out next time!
Pumpkin
05-22-2014, 09:53 PM
So I head to Bianca town and gather some more information
55382
Meanwhile, Whacka
55383
:erm:
I decide to rest at the Inn which triggers a scene with Harry
5538455385
Whatever dude, I'm just trying to sleep.
I then wonder if Bianca is still around
55386
Oh :(
55387
Well this is poopy.
Anyways, I bring Harry to the castle since he wanted to go so much he woke me up for it.
I do love the talk option with your party. They comment on the most random stuff, like the woman behind the counter at one of the shops. It's neat!
We are forbidden to cross the river until Harry reminds the guard about his fear of Frogs
55388
So we get to go through and head to the castle. Some people there are obviously unhappy.
I manage to get in to the castle, but my access is limited.
55389
So I get on a raft and sneak in through a waterway under a bridge. Sneaky sneaky.
I find a prisoner who tells us the Queen is behind it all, which we knew
55390
This is concerning :erm:
Also, make a new friend :love:
55391
What does he have to say?
55392
:lol:
I don't know why that makes me laugh so much. I guess just the fact that he's going around saying this in casual conversation
55393
I don't know. It's awfully suspicious that the queen would be in jail :shifty:
55394
Yeah, okay, that sounds like her now. Sadly for her, I can't unlock her jail cell! Oh well, I'm not too torn up about it
I make my way up through the castle and find this guy:
55395
Darwin
And then I head to see King Wilbur
55396
Sure enough, he changes his tune when he realizes his green haired half brother has returned.
55397
So we tell him about stuff
55398
Yep
55399
So he gives me the key to the castle and sends me to the vaults, but I don't know where they are.
Eventually I find them by pure luck investigative skill
55400
So the mirror has something to do with a tower which has something to do with the queen. I head down the stairs which leads me to some weird portal and I end up south of where I was.
The tower is locked and remembering the monks thing, I head north, back to the Church of the Nuns of the Above.
5540155402
Hearing this, Maria volunteers to bring me
55403
And off we go! My little entourage is getting pretty big.
What's up with this mirror and the tower? Find out next time!
Bolivar
05-23-2014, 03:57 AM
Man I'm really catching nostalgia off this.
Pumpkin
05-23-2014, 06:57 AM
With Maria in tow we head to the tower
55429
And this works! The doors open and I find a ghost of my father, who disappears as soon as I speak with him
5543055431
Interesting. So I head around getting lost for a while until I finally find where I'm going only to find a hole in the bridge. Thankfully the handy dandy talk feature gets me out of this one!
55432
So blindly I walk to acquire the mirror!
Then I have to head back to the castle. I try to take the portal thingies but APPARENTLY portals are closed at night :stare:
After wandering around meaningless, I finally get to go back to the castle
5543355434
Ugh doppelgangers
55435
So he makes Harry do it of course.
55436
This is Harry's opinion on it.
So I use the mirror to find out who the real villain is
55437
It was of course the one no one was expecting. This leads to a boss fight
55438
Ew :Oo:
55439
LIKE WILDFIRE
55440
What.. that's.. aww hey, come on now.... hey, shh...
55441
Harry immediately refuses but decides to leave me anyway
5544255443
He then gives me a ticket so I can take a boat to continue my search for the epic hero and my mother
55444
Yea you'd better
55445
So I have my new destination!
55446
That man confirms it for me.
So I board the ship and off we go!
55451
55452
Oh am I going to meet Mr. Briscoletti again :jess:??
So I head in to town and am warned about an Ogre in a tower and am told to stay away.
So I of course immediately head up the tower. Unfortunately, it isn't an Ogre, just a man named Ogar who is very confused about all of the hate he's been getting.
Fortunately he lets me use his sweet telescope and read his journal (that last one he may not have known about)
55447
Except the chosen ones can climb it, of course.
55448
I WANT THIS SPELL
I enter the tavern and there are these dudes picking on this other dude. So I save him and instead of just thanking me, he decides he wants me to do him ANOTHER favor.
Ingrate
5544955450
*sigh* Off to save the crops!
Will I run in to Mr. Spaghetti again? What about Bianca and Saber? Find out next time!
Pumpkin
05-23-2014, 08:36 PM
So I head to Hay to do that thingy the man wanted me to do and they're surprised I actually showed up. I need to for story progression!
554585545955460
To the West we shall head! Gosh I have a hard time reading what they're saying.
So I head to the cave and find the beats they speak of
55461
:omgomg:
55462
I... I so happy :crying:
Not only am I reunited with Saber, but Saber gives me a gift
55463
Well this has been a great little adventure!
My new old friend:
55464
The villages, however, are less than happy for me
55465
Whatever jerkface :nonono: Don't be hatin cuz im better then u
So I'm not sure where to go now and no one is giving me any hints, so I just explore until I find something.
Also, a new ally!
55466
D'aww look at that face
55467
Yes...
Also, I'm liking the assigned battle commands in this game. I don't have to worry about paying attention to healing now, because one of my monsters does it for me!
Eventually I find another town, hoping it is where I need to be
55468
Well this seems to be a good plot point!
55469
Harry got married :eek: I've only be gone for like a week, geez man
Anyways, I eventually find weird old guy
55470
:excited:
55471
At least he's telling me where I need to go
55472
That was easy
So I bring it back, the old man is happy, and he uses the zoombloom in his weird poisonous looking potion thing
Where do you even buy a cauldron that size? How did he get it through his door?
55473
Oh my :erm:
So the house fills with smoke and we see some sparkies
55474
The Zoom spell is the super awesome spell I wanted that lets you teleport. I teleport right to this village so I can report back to the old man.
55475
Yaaay :jess:
Then I am once again stuck not knowing where to go. Then I remember people talking about prince Harry getting married, and now I can teleport, so I guess it's worth a shot?
5547655477
Well thank you Wilbur, that was great!
Wilbur insists I go see his brother and their new wife, but I'm a bit worried of interrupting them with their newlywed relations
But sure enough they're just sitting on the couch :|
55478
Most importantly though, they got a cat :omgomg:
55479
Um... thanks?
Harry also told me he saved me a souvenir which I really hope is cake
It's just a letter :(
5548055481
He tells me he considers me a friend. D'aww :jess:
So we have our next destination! Will Bianca and I be reunited? Maybe Mr. Spaghetti and I? Tune in and find out!
Pumpkin
05-23-2014, 10:22 PM
So I head south and find this small little (ugly) village with some nice people in it.
Nun lady tells me Nera has left
554885548955490
I guess I know where I'm going next!
But since it's night by the time I arrive, I head over to this place right next to it
5549155492
I feel like this is relevant
I head to that place people were talking about and a dog comes running up to me
55493
It's the girl from the ship!
5549455495
Seems like Nera is up for marriage
55496
That's always a good quality
So I head over to the mansion and apparently get roped in with the people who want to marry her.
Debora or whatever the older sisters name is comes down thinking the men are there for her
55497
He then tells her to stop making a spectacle of herself
Burned by her father
5549855499
Just as I'm thinking that Nera should probably choose her husband based off of love, trust, and respect, as opposed to some ridiculous and dangerous errand
55500
He basically completely ignores us and tells us to go find the rings
5550155502
I feel like I have to do this for story progression.
So everyone leaves and I head upstairs to talk to people
55503
She sort of recognizes me and feels bad because she doesn't want people getting hurt for her sake.
Such a sweet girl :jess:
55504
Thank you!
The woman says she isn't looking for a husband for her other daughter because that would be too much to ask of someone
Burned by her mother
55505
I see where her mother is coming from :|
Will I acquire these ridiculous rings and find myself with a bride? Tune in next time!
Skyblade
05-23-2014, 10:38 PM
Reasons to wed: Love. Trust. Respect. Dangerous Quests. And the most important: Plot Progression.
Pumpkin
05-24-2014, 08:08 AM
So I head to the very unpleasant volcano and find the ring
55510
Oh yay :jess:
But sure enough, things can't just be that simple and so I end up having to do this rather difficult boss fight
55508
After which I FINALLY obtain the ring
55509
Then I head back to show my accomplishment
55511
Apparently, Crispin hurt himself in the volcano WHICH I TOTALLY ALSO DID BUT STILL GOT THE RING! And now he has Nera all over him :nonono:
Well, at least it shows she's a sweet girl
55512
That's fascinating *walks away*
55513
Oh my! This is one of the things I've been looking for
55514
Of course! That's all! Might as well be going to buy milk hahaha
:|
55515
So he lends me his ship to go searching. I go in the one direction I can
55516
To the village that is like 5 steps away!
Turns out this is where Bianca and her father live!
55517
So I head over to their house
55518
He asks how I've been and how my father is and I tell him my father died by fireball
55519
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU
55520
Bianca is happy to see me
5552155522
I thought she said turn-on and I was like, well :erm:
55523
She makes breakfast before we embark on our gate unlocking journey as I talk to her father
5552455525
Well this got complicated
Pumpkin
05-24-2014, 08:18 AM
55526
Okay then!
Here is our new not new ally
55527
Her face is still a bit off
55528
Alright :smug:
So we eventually find where we're going, under a waterfall
55529
I agree it is beautiful scenery, but the way she talks bugs me a bit.
55530
I had wasted some items in preparation of a difficult boss fight, like the one fought in the volcano, but there was nothing!!! :stare:
So I head back and seem to interrupt a family dinner (minus Debora)
55531
Since I have, he gets super excited and confesses he's already planned my wedding for me.
Goodness this man is a control freak
5553255533
Nera is so sweet :jess:
55534
OKAY
55535
I apparently can't sleep so I go around town talking to men who encourage me to marry both
5553655537
There are my options, summed up
I go talk to Bianca who puts on a brave face
55538
And I go talk to Mr. Spaghetti
55539
Well how kind of him!
I go back to bed, wake up the next morning, and am summoned to the mansion
55540
Then Debora comes down and decides she wants in on the action
55541
Mr. Spaghetti is displeased about this behavior, but Debora lines up next to her sister anyway
55542
Who will I marry?
55543
Stay tuned to find out!
Skyblade
05-24-2014, 01:20 PM
Ok, I wasn't expecting this. It's suddenly like we're playing a Harvest Moon game instead of a Dragon Quest game. Except we don't have as much opportunity to get to know the bachelorettes.
Do you want us to vote?
Personally, I'd go for Bianca. I always preferred the old friend as the romantic interest, and you do know her better than any of the others. Plus she likes Saber, and Nera might be a dog person for all you know.
Also, I feel kind of bad for Deborah, but that's not really a reason to marry her.
NeoCracker
05-24-2014, 06:49 PM
Deborah is fucking awesome.
Bianca and Nera are both kind of bland as far as characters go, where as Deborah is a constant swirl of ass kicking.
I also like that she's the only one who, rather then being picked for marraige or having it arranged for her, steps right up and goes 'Yeah, fuck this noise. You're marrying me'. :love:
Pumpkin
05-24-2014, 06:50 PM
I know who I want to marry so I'm going to pretend you guys vote for her :P It took some debating with myself between two of them, but I had follow my video game heart
I'm super excited about this :D
Pumpkin
05-25-2014, 08:53 PM
~*~WEDDING TIME~*~
It is time! Who shall I pick to spend the rest of my life with?
55712
:jess:
55713
Well that is disappointing :(
But now, to choose my wife!
I based this off of if these were real women and I wanted to marry one of them, who would I be happiest with?
55714
IT'S NERA!!!
She says all she can be for me is a good loyal wife. She isn't as adventurous or whatever as Bianca
I have chosen my bride!
55715
:mymelheart::peachdance::pinkelephant:
55716
:|
5571755718
Why am I running errands for my own wedding?!?!
So I head over and fetch it and arrive back to everyone apparently skipping town on me?
5571955720
Oh, hi Harry!
Harry had informed him that I can use Zoom. So I Zoom us to his Casino ship, despite never having been there? Zoom has been holding out on me
55721
:lol:
So I wake up in a strange bed
55722
Her father and someone else walk in and walk me through the wedding steps
55723
Oh dialogue!
IT IS PERFECTION ITSELF
Coming up, the wedding scene :excited:
Pumpkin
05-25-2014, 09:03 PM
TIME FOR A WEDDING :omgomg:
55724
Nera then appears in front of and behind these giant flashing casino signs
55725
They even have casino bunny girls here. This is a classy afair
55726
We exchange rings and move on to our vows
55727
I lol'd at the resurrected part :lol:
It's hard to see, but Nera and Michael are kissing behind that heart
55728
:cheer::squee::plumcheer::peachdance::mymelheart::cake::kaocheer::pinkelephant::party::monkey:
55729
Also classy
5573055731
I think this means we had to wait to consummate our love
Nera wakes me up and apologizes for her father forcing me to magic them all over the place
55732
OH MY GOSH EVERYTHING IS RED THE WORLD IS ON FIRE
Nera says she wants to help me find my mother. How sweet!
55733
Interesting...
Nera suggests we talk to her father about journeying with me
55734
In case you are wondering why you can't see Nera, it is because we have merged in to a single being
So we go see our dad who is shocked at the thought of her traveling with me.
55735
Then he comes up with a compromise
55736
HOW MANY THINGS DOES THIS MAN OWN
He tells me I have to go check on this pot because apparently he owns a shrine for a pot.
55737
We agree to this!
Also
55738
Exciting :jess:
55739
Oh my :erm:
And this is my new bride!
55740
Yaaaay :jess:
Tune in next time!
Bolivar
05-25-2014, 09:23 PM
If we can get EoFF apparel, I want this on the shion shirt:
:nonono: Don't be hatin cuz im better then u
HOW COULD NOT PICK BIANCA SHE'S THE CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART!?!?! That's cool it's on the Casino, though, I think the Bianca wedding was like a nighttime ceremony at the church iirc.
Pumpkin
05-25-2014, 09:34 PM
I JUST DON'T LIKE HER THAT WAY BOLIVAR I'M SORRY
NeoCracker
05-26-2014, 03:00 AM
I don't see how you could pick either one of them over Deborah. The they both suck.
Pumpkin
05-27-2014, 06:20 AM
Nera and I head over to the place to check on the thing
5585355854
Alright. That was rather anticlimactic
55855
Something is fishy about this...
Then Nera brings up traveling again
55856
Yay :jess:
55857
Oh pasta jokes
55858
HOW RICH ARE YOU?!?!
55859
That is where casino ship is
55860
We have a new destination!
Also, I cannot stress this enough, Nera is the nicest person ever. She doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone. She says something if you speak to her after speaking to almost every NPC and it's all nice and positive. Even when giving constructive feedback, its still very kindly presented
Creepy guy? Compliment. Drunk? Compliment. Possible scam artist? Compliment.
55861
Is she a jealous wife?
55862
NOPE
(btw the women all look the same)
So I head over to the plac with the ship, the dock town, remembering only after I got there that I had zoom to teleport me. Oops
5586355864
I bought a cook ship in a bottle
Then I head over to casino ship and have a lot of fun and play a lot of poker and stuff
55866
I really would have liked nighttime Church wedding, honestly.
Also there are these super cute slime races
55865
They fall down and fall asleep and such. Much fun.
So I head south and find this small island
558675586855869
This is all very interesting
to someone
5587055871
We have a goal! I do know this isn't where I was told to go, so I think it's a sidequest?
Anyways I head to the King Domiblah blah place which I stumble upon by pure chance and not by consulting a walkthrough :shifty:
55872
Apparently he tried it for lots of things like a seat but found it hurt his bum
55873
*sigh*
55874
She had tried to use it as a chopping board among other things
55875
GOODNESS
So I head outside and rescue a poor crushed slime
55876
Alright :cool:
So I head back to the old dead guy and give him the medal
55877
YAY I GET A KNICK-KNACKERY!!!!
What will happen next? Tune in next time!
Pumpkin
05-27-2014, 07:29 PM
Alright, I just want to start this post by saying I am loving this game! It's sweet and cute but it also has an interesting story. I look forward to playing it and I can't wait to see what happens next. I would highly recommend this game to anyone. It's awesome.
Now we were searching for that desert place and I find this old man
55888
Thank you random old man
So west I head and find a desert castle and I talk to people and someone mentions something about a desert rose
55889
I MUST HAVE THIS!!
55890
He recommends I stay at the Inn and get myself one in the morning. Which I do. It isn't as pretty as I was hoping :/
People here are all about talking about the Legen- wait for it DARY hero
5589155892
So at least we know we're on the right track
55893
I think she might be a relative.
I speak to Nera afterwards and she says she may seem that way but she isn't and says I should know.
YOU'VE DONE NOTHING BUT BE THE NICEST PERSON EVER NERA WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
So I find Cleoharta (hehe) who brings me to see the legendary Helm
55894
It doesn't fit me so she decides I'm not the hero
55895
Apparently the hero won't reveal himself until absolutely necessary. Nera theorizes that the hero probobly doesn't even know he's the hero and I suspect she's right because chances are its me.
Because I'm the main character in an RPG. That has legendary hero written all over it. And apparently I'm a prince too
Cleohatra tells me some stuff about myself
558965589755898
East it is!!
I head east and stop by some hippie commune (I swear they're all hippies) and the nun tells me about some bad chakra or something in Gotha
5589955900
North it is!
55901
Her dad has literally sent 2 soldiers to drop stuff off for me. One was a piece of equipment for Nera and the other was like 2000 G or something. Geez man
So as I climb the mountain that I am told is dangerous (it is quite a feat) we find a weird old lady who laughs creepily and offers to let us stay in her house.
55902
I try to go check it out but I'm frozen to the bed :eek:
The old woman then comes down and tells me she cast a spell on em to make me sleep like the dead but it apparently didn't work :eek:
Then she tells me she found my sword and sharpened it :eek:
Am I going to be killed by my own weapon? BOSS FIGHT???
No, none of those things. She gives my sword back and I get +5 strength and then we feel like an ass for being so suspicious >.>
I continue though the mountain and arrive at a really nice snowy looking village where someone comments that Nera looks a little pale
5590355904
We bring her to the Inn and are told she's just fatigued
55905
After some rest, she wakes me up apologizing for passing out and excited to continue the adventure
55906
It should also be noted taht at this point in fights, Nera casts Death and makes the fights rather short
Will we find out more about Michael in Gotha? Tune in next time!
Pumpkin
05-27-2014, 09:15 PM
Now that Nera has recovered, it is time for some exploring
559125591355914
Hint hint
55915
:smug:
55916
Almost there!
55917
And we have officially confirmed me as Prince of Gotha :bounce:
55918
Is the game trying to tell me something?
Anyways, I head down the mountain which, I gotta tell ya, is a job and a half.
55919
I though Sancho was dead :onoes:
I finally arrive at Gotha where everywhere except one house is inside the castle walls.
55920
Ah
55921
Hmm
So I head outside to the random house and find Sancho! Who is incredibly happy to see me
5592255923
Ees a happy moment :crying2:
55924
Yeah they weren't subtle about that.
So he takes us to see King Albert
55925
BY JOVE
55926
Nera also introduce herself and then collapses.
Again
Pumpkin
05-27-2014, 09:19 PM

5593255933
Albert is actually a really cool guy
5593455935
Yeah, JEEVES!!
55936
Ugh I hate these tasks
55937
:nod:
Honestly I'm not sure sure why people dislike him as a king. Someone said he's too kind and someone else said the Chancellor is really running the show.
Is the Chancellor going to turn out evil?
55938
And next destination!
Sans Nera :G
Tune in next time!
Skyblade
05-28-2014, 05:09 AM
Is the Chancellor going to turn out evil?
Either that, or a monster in disguise. Have you forgotten that bit of Chrono Trigger already? :D
If there is a good king, he has an evil chancellor. If there is an evil king, he has a good chancellor. If these conditions are not met, there will simply be no chancellor. Rule of fiction.
See also: Rule 131 of the Grand List of Console Role Playing Games Cliches (http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.html).
First Rule of Politics (Chancellor's Axiom)
Any advisor of a major ruler has been scheming after his throne for quite a while. Thanks to the miracle of timing, you will arrive at the king's inner sanctum just in time for the coup.
Pumpkin
05-28-2014, 05:49 AM
So I head to whatever place they told me to go to and find this stone slab
5595955960
Okay. Then I have to solve a series of puzzles because they don't want their king to be stupid. So I get the crest or whatever and start to head back
5596155962
Ugh always problems.
So I fight the guy and the other guy who is named Robbin' Hood. I defeat them and return to the castle.
55963
yea boi
55964
Well we know something bad is going to happen
55965
:omgomg:
55966
My goodness she gave birth fast. HOW LONG WAS I GONE?!
55967
D'aww :love:
I am then asked to name them and I choose Logan for the boy and Millie for the girl
55968
I think my wife just politely insulted my baby names :stare:
Divorce
good job delivering twins I'm leaving you
55969
Word spreads quickly everywhere it seems
55971
Then she drops some stuff on me
55972
Well that would explai-
55973
Or... or not.
You had an out there, Dragon Quest. You should have taken it!
55974
I always let fortune tellers tell me how to raise my children
55975
Interesting.
Let's see what the babies think of this
5597655977
Mmhm Mhm, yes. Valid points.
Time to be coronated
5597855979
Sancho just cries at everything my goodness
So we celebrate and dance and party. But then things go black and I wake up and literally everyone is passed out on the floor.
55983
:|
Time to go check on the family
55980
WHAT :onoes:
55981
:G
55982
So Jeeves is missing and Nera is missing and I'm betting these two things are connected.
Before I leave in search of them I apparently decide to leave the Legendary sword with Senor Sancho
55984
Sure
Off to rescue my wife! Was it Jeeves? Is Jeeves a monster? Will I find my wife?
Tune in next time!
Skyblade
05-28-2014, 06:09 AM
Ending with some rhetorical questions, I see.
I wonder if the twins are going to be the new playable characters as Michael goes and gets lost trying to rescue his queen.
Pumpkin
05-28-2014, 06:11 AM
TWO BABIES ON A QUEST TO SAVE THE WORLD
Yeah it would be sucky for that family if history keeps repeating itself
Pumpkin
05-28-2014, 08:54 PM
So I go check the Chancellor's room for clues and find some special flying shoes, which I use.
They bring me to a Church
5607456075
Looks like I know where I'm headed!
So I head to the tower and I've got to see it is an awful place and I hate it.
Eventually I find Jeeves
56076
Yeah really?
Jeeves dies and I'm okay with this. It's a very anticlimactic death scene really.
Eventually I find this dude
56077
And beat him up
Then I find this dude
56078
And beat him up
Before I finally go find my wife
56079
I've missed you Nera :G
56080
Kon doesn't like her confessing all of these plans and zaps her with a lightning beam
56081
Puns DQ, really? Now of all time?
56082
Look familiar?
So I take a few turns barely damaging him before Nera steps up, shines brightly, and breaks whatever barrier he is using after which I kick his butt.
56083
:erm:
So he teleports away and we get a visit from an old friend
56084
This is quite the entrance
So the monster who killed my father arrives and tells me that the legendary hero would be born of noble blood according to legend.
56085
So our son, then. (Let's not tell him we just had babies)
Anyways he is not for this legend and decides to turn us to stone
5608656087
What a jerk :stare:
Pumpkin
05-28-2014, 09:01 PM
What's this?
56088
How did you guys even get here?!
56089
Ugh.
56090
So looks like they've found me a bit too late.
56091
So Michael gets auctioned off as a lucky statue for 20k
56092
He says he has special plans for the other one and I am deeply concerned :erm:
Reunited with my wife only to be separated again :crying2:
Michael just has awful luck doesn't he
56093
So Mr. Pogie buys the Michael statue to celebrate the birth of his son
His son grows older as I stay the same
56094
This continues
56095
Then suddenly (I'm told this is a good storytelling phrase, so I'm using it here to express a sudden unexpected event)
56096
Georgie... Porgie (sigh) is kidnapped by monsters.
56097
Mr. Porgie comes and kicks Michael over, yelling at me because I was supposed to be lucky.
If the game indicates anything its that I am NOT lucky. Please get rid of this statue ASAP
56098
We then watch as statue Michael lays on the lawn as days pass and seasons pass
56099
Will they ever find the supersoft to rescue me? Stay tuned to find out!
Skyblade
05-28-2014, 09:04 PM
Wow. I honestly didn't know what would happen. But I think I'm right: shion is bad news for RPG heroes. :D

Oh, the poignant sadness of being stuck as a statue. You sit, through the years, watching a child grow up, bearing witness to its pain and its joy, and that of the parent; precisely what you are losing as the youth of your own children slip away in a distant land, not even really knowing who you are. What a terribly cruel game you are, Dragon Quest V.

This will be a small update as I have much things to do today.
8 years after Michael became a statue, he gets some visitors...
5615656157
My good old Spanish friend is overjoyed by this
56158
:omgomg: its my kids
She pulls out a staff and this happens
56159
Oh my
56160
:jess::jess::jess::jess:
That's the number of smiling faces in this pic
56161
I am all for this!
56162
My son is pumped!
56163
.....................................................
I was wrong
I am not the legendary hero
my son is
Now how am I supposed to stay the alpha male in this game
56164
He doesn't talk much anyways so its not really a big deal.
So we are brought back to Gotha via Millie casting Zoom
5616556166
Hands off the purple cape, please
56167
Gotha likes to party is what I'm noticing
The next morning the umm nanny lady gives me something
56168
Apparently the king wanted a picture of her in it, but alas
56169
Sancho was debating giving it to me or not
56170
The twins find me and insist on following me on my journey since I was journeying with my father at their age
56171
Oh :omgomg:
56172
That's... that's cool too I guess
56173
Oh, some family drama here
56174
That is my next destination
Let's find out about our twins before we leave off for today
5617556176
At least he's honest :greenie:
5617756178
Oh my gosh they are so adorable :omgomg:
AND HAIR RIBBONS :omgomg:
Is my girlyness showing?
Tune in next time!

Oh my gosh they are so adorable :omgomg:
AND HAIR RIBBONS :omgomg:
Is my girlyness showing?
Yes. Because your love for hair ribbons is the first instance of your girlyness showing through in any of your Let's Plays. :shifty:

Alrighty guys, taking a break over the weekend. I've had a hectic week and I have a full weekend, but I should be able to update again on Monday
Pumpkin
06-02-2014, 08:12 AM
Okay so I have no idea how to get where I need to go so I instead end up exploring and return to the castle of Prince Harry
56296
This is ironic
So I go see Harry and the kiddies play together and we talk
56297
What is up with you guys :stare:
So I go collect my children
56298
Yep, it's that trick again.
Also, I find some random dude stealing a treasure chest and fight him off. Then I head to Nera's village and see her father quite distressed.
Also funny conversation:
Random Man: treat em mean, keep em keen [laughter]
Millie: That's disgusting. I hope you don't ever turn in to that
Logan: That is so cool!
56299
Turns out its some jar troubles
56300
This again
56301
:eyebrow:
56302
This is all concerning
So of course the jar is red. I also say hi to Bianca who is now married
563035630456305
oh dear
56306
:erm:
56307
:erm:!!!
56308
:-/
56309
So this is me after doing this fight for about 20 minutes.
Can I win it?????
Nope :lol:. I spent about a half hour trying and I just got bored. Will complete it later on.
Next time is the hunt to find my wife!!
Skyblade
06-02-2014, 01:18 PM
Why are you being mean to Bjorn?! The dude just woke up, and he's immediately attacked by adventurers. How do you know he's a bad guy?
Pumpkin
06-02-2014, 03:21 PM
He said he would eat me
Freya
06-03-2014, 06:02 AM
Holy crud i didn't know you could marry someone in this game. I need to play it...
Yes that's a selling point for me....
Good job on the let's play though!
Pumpkin
06-05-2014, 08:32 PM
Little update
So after many many in game days and realizing I was on the wrong ship, I finally found where I'm going.
56639
Lofty Peak! The village Michael's mother is from. Also, I'm supposed to find a flying carpet, which Logan informs me would be a good present for all of those birthdays I missed.
I speak to a stranger who tells me I seek truth and enlightenment.
56640
How do strangers always know so much about me
56641
See, what is this? I just got here like 40 seconds ago
So I find some people and do some things, the town is a bit overwhelming with the camera angles until you get used to it. Then I go and see the elders
5664256643
Guard dude knows his stuff
5664456645
Good to know
56646
So my mother is the only one who can do what they need her to do
56647
This sounds very concerning. Millie has a theory that the evil monsters are using Michael's mother to open the gate.
So of course I have to rescue her!!!
Tune in next time~
Pumpkin
06-07-2014, 07:19 AM
Okay so we are off to rescue Michael's mother with our flying carpet!
56755
Did I already use that screen? Oh well
Anyways, I use my carpet of magical flying to find the Zenithisomething tower, where I find this old man
5675656757
Unfortunate
56758
Well thank you, how very generous!
He then tells me to seek out a cave and he vanishes, ghost like.
I then find the cave and use the magma staff which does this
56759
And gets rid of the mountain blocking the entrance.
I go in to a weird trolly system and I eventually meet a strange man claiming to be Zenthinian
5676056761
He says he has been trapped in that cart for 20 years before I came along
56762
I agree
So more carting around
5676356764
Oh dear :erm:
56765
So as you can see, I have arrived at the now underwater city of floating castle place
56766
What an odd expression.
So there is a gold orb missing, which he thinks fell from that giant hole in the ground. He then decides to meditate to find out where it went
This is what meditating looks like
56767
The fact that the orb fell is why the castle fell. It apparently needs 2 orbs and now it only has one.
So here we see his vision
56768
There's the castle, tralalalala
56769
Those clouds look concerning :erm:
56770
Aaaaaand there goes the orb
It lands here (somehow without shattering)
56771
Look familiar?
56772
Then the game does a tl;dr version of our hero's entire childhood up until this point
56773
And the orb is broken.
Oh well, its now an underwater castle I guess
56774
But apparently we aren't giving up that easily
56775
So now we have our next destination! Time to go see the fairies again~
Tune in next time!
Skyblade
06-07-2014, 01:31 PM
"Dr Agon". Subtle. I wonder why the DrAgon would be looking for gold orbs. I'm sure that Dragon is well known for donating to charity and acting for the good of the kingdom.
Pumpkin
06-08-2014, 07:05 AM
So I find the fairy forest place thing
56868
I can't see the fairy, but my kids can!
So I head to fairy land and Millie is loving it.
I have to admit, the water walls are pretty amazing
So random fairy tells me I need to find the fairy palace
5686956870
:|
56871
Oh thank you :jess:
Honey is doing just fine, btw
So I find the lake surrounded by forest surrounded by mountain and I blow the horn and this happens:
56872
A wild castle appears!
56873
Logan and Millie both kind of wish that Millie was also a legendary hero because... well let's face it, she's a good deal more competent and together
56874
One of the best thing in the game so far
Anyways I find the Queen
56875
But apparently they no longer have that power
5687656877
So she thinks I must somehow have the power. I'm not some kind of magician, people. Plus, my son is the legendary hero, not me.
Anyways, I am instructed to take the bauble and show it to a paining upstairs.
I dunno, ask the fairies.
So I show it to the painting and this happens:
56878
And I am brought to the past! Remember when we were little and we met the man who looked suspiciously like me?
Yep
56879
:cry:
So I find younger me, who is a good deal more talkative than I remember
5688056881
Oh ho ho, I see what's going on here
56882
And now we get to head back to castle water place thing! Tune in next time :monster:
Pumpkin
06-11-2014, 06:17 AM
Time to bring the gold orb back!
57042
Which means
57043
WHOOO
57044
Zenthinia rises again out of the water
57045
Very pretty, but Dr Argon is still not happy
57046
Ugh
But the Zenthinians are back and giving me some info
57047
Turns out I can fly this castle around!!!
5704857049
Well I have my next destination
Also, turns out some people don't remember Dr Agon
57050
Surely
Also, in case you were wondering like me what happened to all of the Zenthinians and why they are back suddenly
57051
That's why
So I head over to the place and have to climb on top of a tower and jump down
57052
I suspect a boss fight coming my way
57053
That name sounds familiar....
So I defeat him and get the chest behind him containing a dragon eye.
Then I go through more of this long annoying dungeon
57054
Ah yes, this guy. Did he always talk this oddly?
So, sure enough, boss fight.
570555705657057
Nimzo is a very threatening name :|
So I bring the two dragon eyes I got from defeating the two baddies and I put them back in the dragon statue and a new path opens and other typical RPG like things
57058
YAY A DRAGON ORB
I WONDER WHAT DR AGON THINKS OF THIS
57059
You don't say
So I go speak to Dr Agon the imposter and he takes the dragon orb
57060
What's this :erm:
57061
:|
57062
:|
57063
Well, he says he will help me because I'm cool :monster:
Where do I go from here? What will he help me with? WILL I EVER FIND MY WIFE?!!?!?! :stare:
Tune in next time!
Pumpkin
06-16-2014, 09:33 PM
Okay sorry guys for the slow updates, been busy irl and also was doing some item collecting and such
First thing of note is that I finally beat Bjorn much more easily since the twins had gained about 15 levels. This gave me the key to unlock everything ever, hence the item collecting
57322
Yay!
57323
Indeed. Next i take my dragon friend and find some shrine on top of a mountain, on which I also find the Zenthinian Armor for my son
57324
I say no, we fight, I win, I get armor
57325
I enter the temple and find these people worshiping Michael's mother
And yes, that is my wife's statue behind her :omgomg:
57326
Apparently they are soulless people.
5732757328
Hi mom :jess:
Why are you working with the enemy?
57329
Well that's awfully rude :erm:
57330
All the time with this stuff :|
57331
So I defeat Ferz, Nera is still a statue, and I find a secret staircase.
It leads through one of the less annoying dungeons in this game. It also leads through the place where I used to be a slave!
I really feel bad I never went back to rescue those people :/
57332
So I find that guy who engages me in a very difficult battle. After a while, I win
57333
He says he will open the underworld for me, but something goes wrong!
5733457335
So Ladja kills him and then mocks me and leaves. Once he is gone, I find a ring called The Circle of Life
As I start to leave when
5733657337
Is this my actual mother this time?
57338
I'm getting some conflicting directions here :-/
She says I should chill with my family and not worry about her
In the meantime
57339
:jess:!!!!!!!!
We are brought back to Gotha, my family reunited!!
Tune in next time to see what happens next! This LP is almost over actually :(
Skyblade
06-17-2014, 04:00 AM
shion totally isn't predicting the massive plot twist that occurs at the midway point of the game.
Pumpkin
06-17-2014, 04:01 AM
:eek:
Pumpkin
06-19-2014, 06:55 PM
Small update
Now that I am reunited with my whole family, Albert wants to see me
5746257463
I tell him I am and he discourages me from doing so. He says to listen to my mother who spoke to me through the ring.
Everyone knows everything in this game
Meanwhile, my Spanish friend tells me he will support me since my father wanted me to find my mother. My wife of course says she will support me no matter what
So we head out on our journey and find a shrine with three angel statues.
The three angel statues want the three rings I've obtained throughout the game
57464
When they get them, a weird portal opens up and I go through it and end up in the underworld like place
5746557466
She gives me an item that I can't remember what it is and gives me her blessing to proceed
I find this pretty town
5746757468
Very interesting
5746957470
Turns out that my mother has purified the monsters which has made them turn human!
57471
And now I have my new destination~
Tune in next time!
Skyblade
06-21-2014, 05:25 PM
Ooh, goody. I wonder what twists and turns await us in the underworld.
Pumpkin
06-30-2014, 08:48 PM
Update time!
I find the evil lair of evilness, head inside, and then run in to some goons
57918
I doubt that. So I defeat them of course and am surrounded by a shiny warm light
57919
Yes?
5792057921
Oh is that what's going to happen?
57922
She tells me she is going to sacrifice her life and such
57923
Before she can continue, a giant fireball, much like the one that killed our hero's father, strikes her down.
5792457925
This of course leads to a boss fight. Not super difficult, but not easy, either
Afterwards, the shiny warm light from before surrounds Ladja
5792657927
Apparently it is possible
579285792957930
She then gets struck by lightning. This poor woman just can't catch a break
579315793257933
A mysterious voice suddenly appears!
5793457935
Pankraz comes down to get Mada
57936
Aww :cry:
That's all for today! I think I'm almost at the last boss fight, so stay tuned~
Skyblade
07-01-2014, 03:30 AM
Wow. Michael's parents are kind of awesome.
Epic boss theme music next?
Pumpkin
07-02-2014, 04:57 PM
Its time, are you ready? The finale of Dragon Quest V. I'm so sad :cry: I'm going to miss Nera
So we head through the underworld some more and find some things and eventually come to this pool of lava
http://i.imgur.com/yjIOKNV.png
Apparently it isn't recommended I step through lava, so instead I am told to use an item full of water I just found 5 seconds earlier. How convenient!
http://i.imgur.com/xdhQpPP.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/6h5wl8r.png
Uh oh, this is it, almost time. But not before a long annoying puzzle dungeon of course. After about an hour, I clear the things and find none other than
http://i.imgur.com/NPylOzK.png
:eek:
http://i.imgur.com/lQKjcgX.png
It's nice that he's trying to learn English so we can understand him.
http://i.imgur.com/sJdb6ji.png
I figured as much
http://i.imgur.com/fkQSrlY.png
A bit full of himself isn't he?
http://i.imgur.com/tNqTQYh.png
Little bit
http://i.imgur.com/HKCBZLx.png
Boo, can't we just resolves this with our words instead of our fists :(
http://i.imgur.com/dswuxqy.png
Apparently not.
So we fight and things and then I defeat him yay :jess:
http://i.imgur.com/K2L1PpB.png
Why is that never the end of it :|
http://i.imgur.com/0xa9bU7.png
Hey, ease up, he's a child :onoes:
Then he merges in to this ugly thing and I have to fight him AGAIN
http://i.imgur.com/ZupfSar.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/RTE9dNO.png
Ew :stare: Why can't final villains be more attractive
http://i.imgur.com/kcp4FHC.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/qtYFP3X.png
Apparently you can
http://i.imgur.com/4CzdVwa.png
Oh dear, that doesn't look healthy. So he explodes and some weird stuff happens
http://i.imgur.com/9sO4Vvi.png
Like that and I am brought to the... upper... world...
http://i.imgur.com/HYlrnei.png
Yes, we've been acquainted
http://i.imgur.com/06xfYzG.png
then he apparently gets tired of his stuffy speak and chooses to go back to the way he spoke as the wily and cleverly disguised Dr Agon. The Zenthinians are not super pleased
http://i.imgur.com/Qja9SFB.png
Let's see what everyone has to say about us saving the world!
http://i.imgur.com/gX9yGht.png
Yep Millie, it is
http://i.imgur.com/xclIoem.png
Insight from Logan
http://i.imgur.com/cROL96f.png
Nera being a sweet mom
The Dragon then flies me around the world so I have a chance to talk to people now that I saved it! I think this is really neat!
http://i.imgur.com/erxT4Qa.png
D'aww. The children also express happiness at being related to her
http://i.imgur.com/h599WJQ.png
:cry:
Then we go see Harry and co. and Harry says something about Logan being a chip off the old block and his wife says not to forget to mention Nera
http://i.imgur.com/NGMHBdm.png
D'aww :jess:
http://i.imgur.com/C4JNgOU.png
Yeah remember when you were a jerk and then when we were slaves for like 10 years. Haha good times
Also, I talk to the lady about her brother who was at the slave place
http://i.imgur.com/HpSemeB.png
More people:
http://i.imgur.com/VPH3PUX.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/Ep0L52X.png
And the inlaws:

Aww so touching
Then we go see Bianca
http://i.imgur.com/8JTCVLe.png
Do you ever not bring that up? :stare: How about, "Hey, remember that time you saved the world?" YEAH
http://i.imgur.com/Qbtag8Y.png
Me too
And time to head home
http://i.imgur.com/yvsv7Ma.png
Aww Sancho
Soon there is much rejoicing and celebrating, when suddenly, some voices can be heard in the wind
http://i.imgur.com/CzOnOEs.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/HZuHgYW.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/oIMEUqP.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/ROFGDJg.png
The feels :G
Some rose petals come down as everyone dances in joy and laughter and then the credits role. I save the game and apparently there are sidequests for me to complete, but I'll leave it at this for now. I hope you all enjoyed! I really loved this game and I would recommend it to anyone who liked RPG's. I had a lot of fun
Thanks for reading :monster:

Awesome run. I'm glad that you included visiting people after you won. Such great stories (and the inspiration for my beloved Rune Factory).
Sorry that it had to end. Only, what, nine other games to go?
