Dragon Quest V is a console role-playing game and the fifth installment in the Dragon Quest video game series developed by Chunsoft and published by the Enix Corporation. It is the first Dragon Quest title to be released for the Nintendo Super Famicom video game console. It was first released for the SFC in Japan on September 27, 1992, and has been remade as a PS2 game in 2004 in Japan, which was developed by Heartbeat and published by Square Enix. It remains one of the two installments in the series to not have been released in North America (the other game being Dragon Quest VI). Enix did not release the game outside of Japan due to programming issues discovered after the game's Japan release.
While the game was never officially translated, two fan translations exist for the Super Famicom version. Dragon Quest V takes place over twenty years of the main character's life, in which he gets married and has a family. The title features an interesting gameplay dynamic in which monsters from random encounters may offer to join your party. This concept was used in later Dragon Quest games, and focused on exclusively in the Dragon Quest Monsters series. This idea would be later
used in the Pokmon video game series.
