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

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.

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
