Dragon Quest V.

The RetroBeat: Dragon Quest V is a marriage made in retro-JRPG heaven

My discovery of the Dragon Quest franchise was one of my few happy happenstances of 2020. For decades, I convinced myself that I just didn’t like this iconic JRPG series. Then I fell in love with Dragon Quest XI. Now, I’m on a quest of my own, playing through each game.

But I’m not going at it in any specific order. I’m just playing whatever Dragon Quest that I’m most interested in next and can reasonably get my hands on. Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride was the first on my list.
