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

Apparently Dragon Quest V will be good for my Spanish studies

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

Attachment 55171

Don't you be insulting my son's name

Then the woman coughs

Attachment 55172

Is she alright?

Attachment 55173

Doesn't matter! Logo time!

Attachment 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.

Attachment 55175

My father must be very special

Attachment 55176

What's he looking for?

Attachment 55177

That's a long time!

Anyways, the ship docks and I meet a man with a very rude daughter who storms by loudly.

Attachment 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!

She then tells me that's her job and I am so far very unimpressed.

Attachment 55180

And this is somehow her sister. I like her a lot more.

So we head off the ship and say our goodbyes.

Attachment 55181

Business

Is my dad a mafioso?

Attachment 55182

Look how adorable little Michael is

Anyways, since I'm a little kid I of course go get myself in to trouble.

Attachment 55183

Kay

So he drags me all the way to our destination

Attachment 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.

Attachment 55185

No.

She says this is okay because we were really little when we played together.

Attachment 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
