Dragon Quest V (Super Nintendo SNES)
This is a Japanese to English translation of Dragon Quest V originally a Super Famicom exclusive.
Dragon Quest V follows in the footsteps of IV by virtue of continuing Yuji Horii's narrative experiments. Rather than dividing the game into chapters focusing on several characters, the story exclusively follows the life of the person from childhood to adulthood, and finally to parenthood. This divides the game into 3 separate generations, with the world and characters ageing along with the protagonist. The nature of traversing the world's towns and combating monsters is still the same as in previous title. Dragon Quest V was the first game in the series in which certain monsters from random encounters may offer to join the player's party. This concept was an inspiration for the Pokémon video game series, which debuted several years after Dragon Quest V's release. Later, the same feature would spawn the Dragon Quest Monsters series in 1998.
