Game description: Dragon Quest V grand adventure that unfolds over three generations of heroes. Take your place among a family of heroes, sharing in all the triumphs and tragedies of their storied lives! Our story begins with a small boy hero, travelling the world with his father, Pankraz. Over the course of his many adventures, this lovable lad learns and grows. And when he finally becomes a man, he resolves to continue his father’s unfinished quest -- to find the Legendary Hero.

This PlayStation 2 version remakes the classic RPG with new features and visual presentation. While much of the game will remind you of the original Super Famicom version, the world of "DraQue" and its characters and enemies are now presented here in 3D. Enemies now have lots of humorous animation patterns and frames. The battle backgrounds have great depth to them, allowing you to see mist flowing against mountains in the distance and waterfalls. Finally, the music is completely orchestrated now.

Known Issues

Weird colors of some sprites

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: In hardware mode, some of the sprites (hair, mustaches, grass etc...) have weird colors (Pink for mustaches, green for hair and black for everything else) at the edges (wrong alpha?).
  • Workaround: Use software mode.

Opengl Breaks Menu Order

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Opengl will break the order of the menus making the active menu under the older one
  • Workaround: Use DirectX or software mode.

Turbo mode does not work

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: Turbo mode does not work properly with default settings since the frame drawn when turbo activated stays at the screen and does not refresh until turbo is turned off.
  • Workaround: To fix this, set (frames to skip) under (frame skipping) -from GS menu- to 4 instead of the default 2.

Camera Glitch at the top of Mount Evil

  • Status: Active
  • Type: Minor
  • Description: At the top of Mount Evil the camera locks looking up at the characters.
  • Workaround: It's a small area that you'll pass through relatively quickly. Once you reach the Altar the camera will shift back to normal.
