Dragon Quest V

[Evastio]

The North American DQV DS Site is up and running now.

Ugh, why'd I do that? You guys are just going go on the site and steal my chance of winning the sweepstakes (hopes this convinces people to get the game).

So, anyone going to be buying it? Personally it's one of my favourite Dragon Quest games, especially with being able to capture and use monsters on your team. Why, I've actually use them in my team more than my wife and kids (as in the wife and kids you get in DQV). The DS release is also the first time DQV will be released outside of Japan.

I'm kind of curious as to what Debora is like (the new potential wife of DQV). Is she more of a magic caster or is she a dancer with skills that don't cost MP? Also, is she really as evil as she looks?

I loved DQIV, and this game has no shortage of fans singing me its praises. I'll get it the day it's released.

I hope the choice between potential spouses is less obvious than it was in the original. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints with the original game, but I'm sure the remake will be even better. If I ever get a DS I'll pick this up.

I definitely looking forward to this game. I'm loving the older 8 and 16 bit games being re-released/remade on portable systems.

I've only played 3, 8 and IVDS, but I frickin love DQ. Definitely getting it, free 2-day shipping from Gamestop upon release.

The first time I stopped playing DQ8 was because I think the fun waned on me after 60 hours, but once I discovered you can fight with monsters it totally drew me back in for a good 20 hours.

What's DQ V like? I hope it's a bit different than VIII.

I really want to get this game cuz i've played DQ 1,2,3,4,7,8 but never 5 and 6 so i need to get these games to play them so i played that whole collection

You know, from the descriptions I kind of like Debohrah. A women who will talk down on me and treat me like a dog is both amusing and exciting.

I so expected you to think that.

I've always ended up sticking with Bianca, even though I like Flora better appearance and personality wise. With Bianca being a childhood friend and all, it's not really much of a choice. Maybe I'll choose Flora on my first run through.

I guess it's okay to double post since the game is out now and it's kind of like a timely update.

Anyways, does anyone know how to get off of the boat at the start? I know it's a really dumb question, but I tried talking to everyone (including the captain, who was supposed to trigger the trip's end in the original) and I got all the items, yet the boat still doesn't dock after that.

I think you have to go back and talk to Papas again. I'm not sure, since I've long passed that part.

By the way, this game is awesome.

I really wish I had a DS.

It's not working. He still says go off and enjoy yourself even after I've talked to everyone and got all the items on board.

Okay, I started a new file to figure it out. To trigger the scene where the ship makes port, you need to:

• Talk to the guy in the cargo hold who remarks on how admirable it is for Papas to be raising you himself, and
• Talk to Captain Blithe.

That's it. You can talk to them in either order, too. The scene will begin when you exit either the captain's cabin or the hold.
