Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is a classic Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) developed by Chunsoft and published by Enix (now Square Enix) in 1992. The game follows the protagonist’s life from childhood to adulthood, chronicling his journey to fulfill his destiny, rescue his family, and choose a bride from among three potential candidates. Known for its emotional storytelling, monster recruitment mechanics (which inspired the Pokémon series), and turn-based combat, Dragon Quest V remains a beloved entry in the franchise. Originally released for the Super Famicom, it has since been remade for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, and mobile platforms.
