Does anyone know what the best translations for Dragon Quest 5 and 6 for the SNES are?
Does anyone know why they werent released in America?
Can someone get in contact with the DQ12 dev team and beg them not to make it an action game?
Thank you. Ive been playing through the games. Dragon Warrior 1 is an amazing piece of media, it will be remembered and cherished for centuries.

The best version of DQ5 SFC in English can be found here:

The ONLY version of DQVI in English can be found here: [WARNING, INCOMPLETE AND CRASHES OFTEN]

Not the official ones that's for fricking sure.
DQ5 came out on PS2 and was translated so just play that one.
>CRASHES OFTEN
I finished it without issue with snes9x.
>a year or two of study
You need a lot more than that to play them "comfortably".
Unless your idea of comfortable is constantly having to look up a dictionary.
DQ5 was an early game, not late.
DQ1 came out late
>crashes often
???
I played through it in 2021 and I never had a single crash. It is definitely incomplete, though. For example, I remember that late in the game one of the towns near the start has a second bazaar happen in it, and none of that dialogue was translated.
The best translations are the original Japanese versions of the games. No dragon quest game is so difficult that you'd need more than a year or two of study to be able to read through it comfortably.
im playing this with the translation now.
I just got the final key from the big moose man and dont really know where to go now though
Then just MTL it instead of wasting your time because you're gonna lose one irrelevant nuance every 1 textbox out of 300 in a series with very basic story and writing
Yeah this, unfortunately. I'm not trying to be elitist like a lot of Nip speakers here, but DQ localizations are absolutely abominable for the most part. I don't know how any of the fan TLs are though.
how do you mess up "A slime appears"?
they dont mess that up, but what they do is add stupid accents for every single region. people will randomly be french or american country or wienerney or something.
>people will randomly be french or american country or wienerney or something.
tbf that made sense for DQ3 because the game was loosely inspired by the real world. Any game afterwards didn't needed that shit, it just makes their dialogue annoying to read and often doesn't even match the location thematically. I was playing DQ7, entered a desert town and the npcs were like HON HON HON LE BAGUETTE
I was playing V and theres this farming town that has the most forced country/redneck accent I've ever encountered in my life. It was almost incomprehensible.
You reminded me this other town in 7 that had everyone going DUDE THAT'S GNARLY. I don't think the localizers understand how fricking annoying this shit is. It doesn't make me feel like I'm traveling across the world.
based. Once I played Dragon Quest I was amazed at how everything from Japan is Dragon Quest. It's like their Odyssey
How did the Quintet games and E.V.O. come to the US but none of the SFC DQ games?
Because Dragon Quest II through IV mega-flopped in the west.
The only reason Dragon Quest I didn't was because it got bundled with Nintendo Power.
because they came over super late, and by the time that 1 came over, final fantasy was already out, which blows 1 out of the water. 1 is super unimpressive by comparison.
My cat sleeps on smiles
Dragon Warrior naming is so gay. Frizzle is better than Blazemore.
Just play the DS versions.
>fan translation
>no wienerney accent to ruin the entire game

Already posted, but you know you can also just go on cdromance, yeah?
>Does anyone know why they werent released in America?
Likely to do with the following factors.
-Games were consistently performing worse to an extent that probably wouldn't justify further releases
-Dragon Quest V was a graphically underwhelming game for the hardware it was on and what the SNES was currently competing with, as well as other games within its genre
-There was also probably thought given to the fact that the opening of the game is a child being protected by his father, which might've not sat well with investors who knew games were pushing towards an edgy direction in regards to target audience desires
>Can someone get in contact with the DQ12 dev team and beg them not to make it an action game?
It isn't going to be one.
Ive never seen the SNES version. I always assumed it would look like a downgraded DS version. No it looks terrible. It looks like a nes game with a few more colors.
Square Enix of Japan is the one that forces this on us.
>No it looks terrible.
It looks perfectly fine for staff who had been developing only Famicom games before then.
>It looks like a nes game with a few more colors.
Nothing really long with that. People don't acknowledge this, but a lot of SFC games are overly flashy, a lot of added details that muddle the image or just fail to make things clear for the player, like the current obsession in games and anime with visual effects that look like a bunch of sparkle glue got smeared on the screen.
That's a really compressed image.
the compression isnt the problem there. its the sprite work. it looks like shit
It honestly looks quite fine.
you werent kidding
who did you marry
yo momma (hi son, are ya winning?)
Im the legendary hero dad
