DS #2472: Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride (Japan)

[Joey R.]

*sigh* For a moment I thought this one was DQIV in English

I'm really looking forward for a "classic console-link RPG", like those from the SNES times

 

[Ferrariman]

I will try this when it is in english.

 

[Hooya]

There are fan translations of the SNES versions, if any of you are interested. I can mention those in the "Greatest ROM hacks" thread.

 

[Zaraf]

Yeah, DQ5 and DQ6 were never released in english. Up until the announcement of these DS remakes and coming in english, DQ5 and DQ6 remained in Japanese. There are however fan translations of BOTH games, and they are more or less complete. So you can play the SNES version with the hack if you want.

Yeah, I was very happy when they didn't mess up the numbering when they brought DQ7 over in english.

DQ4 was released in english on NES as Dragon Warrior 4. There was a playstation remake of DQ4 that used the Dragon Quest/Warrior 7 game engine. This remake for PS1 was never released in english. The DQ4 DS remake contains all of the bonus goodies that were put into the PS1 remake, PLUS some more interface improvements.

DQ5 was remade for PS2 using the Dragon Quest 8 game engine (thank God they called it Dragon Quest 8 and not Dragon Warrior 8 (

) ) This PS2 remake was never released in english.

Here is the cover for the PS2 remake. I consider this cover to be one of the best game covers ever!

The DQ5 remake contains all of the bonuses that the DQ5 remake for PS2 had (like 4 party members instead of 3), plus some more DS exclusive content (like being able choose between a third girl to marry). However, the DQ5 DS remake is made using the same game engine as DQ4 DS (same with DQ6 DS), and these are inturn based upon the DQ7 game engine.

Yeah, apprently this one doesn't contain the engrish

too bad.

Has anyone gotten off the ship yet on flashcarts?

 

[incinerator]

So is there a brand new script in this remake? If not, it might not be too hard to put together a translation based on the SNES fan translation, if the dialogue remains the same... though I guess it's kind of a long shot, eh?

 

[Zaraf]

The main story would have more or less the same, but I suspect they would have reworded a lot of stuff. Then there are lots of new NPCs, events, quests, dungeons, etc, so none of that would be in the SNES DQ5 translation. It's just easier to wait for the english version to come out. I expect DQ5 in english will come out late Spring or early Summer of 2009.

To get off the boat, you gotta make sure you talk to everyone.

It doesnt work on the EZFlash V+

 

[Gamer]

Works fine on a SC-SD Slot 2 (Rumble). Never fails heh --> Patcher 2.68, FW 1.85

 

[keke_keke]

If someone could tell me how to get DQV's quicksave to work on no$gba I could try converting a save file from after you get off the ship. It looks like an error in japanese when I click on quicksave right now. =/ I am so desperate to play this it's my favourite I beat the SNES and PS2 versions.

That fixes the boat event! Yay!

I do not have DQ5 yet (est. 25 min to go), but I feel the need to praise DQ4.
I do not read Japanese, but I had NO PROBLEM completing DQ4. If you use either the IPS patch or the language option in the cheat file,
everything you need to know is in Engrish! Only the opening bit with the frog/woman/rabbit is still in pure Japanese, because it was not
in the NES or PSX version. And it is not important. Just talk to the man in the house (your dad), and the story moves on. In Engrish.
If you wait for the US release, it will probably have much of the Puff Puff related dialog "cleaned-up".

I also recently completed Dragon Quest Monsters - Caravan Heart (J2E) on GBA/VBA. A full translation and a better game than Joker!

I do not expect to be able to play DQ5, yet, but ...

Edit: The code posted by keke_keke works. I got off the boat and leveled up a bit in the first cave. GameFAQs has a good walkthru for
Japanese PS2 version, so I guess this is probably playable, but I will wait for the US version. There are also several SNES resources.

Some mistakes just to point out: Some of the bonus stuff in DQ4DS are different from DQ4PS, such as a different immigrant town system, a bonus dungeon with different layouts, etc.

DQ5PS2's engine is NOT based on DQ8's engine. DQ5PS2 was made by Arte Piazza, the same company that's doing the DQ4-6 DS remakes, while DQ8 was made by Level-5. Just look at some of the screenshots would be obvious.

Needs an 8mbit save ..or 1MB/1024k ...so sc owners both slot1 and 2 should be ok, but you may have to make a blank 1MB file, and scds-1 owners also change the save size to 8Mbit.

 

[keke_keke]

Hey I know nothing about hacking, but someone said there's a translation at address 49c92d0 whatever that means. Can anyone take a look?

 

[BurlyEd]

On DQ4, the "English" code is:
02106404 00000001 --- ( poke a 1 in address 2106404)

most/all cheat addresses are at 02xxxxxx

049C92D0 is beyond the ARDS reach, I believe. r4cce will not accept 049C92D0 00000001 as a code.

I am out of ideas.

In the DS memory maps, that would fall in "04000000h ARM9-I/O Ports"

Convert 49c92d0 to decimal and see where it sits in the actual ROM file, probably in one of the script related files inside the fs.
