Story
In Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, what begins as an innocent childhood voyage of a boy accompanying his father on a journey soon develops into an eye-opening adventure of a brave young man traveling the world as he faces life-altering decisions that transcend generations. You - a hero in the making - determine your own path, choose your wife, and befriend a wagonload of quirky monsters along the way. Indulge in the colorful Dragon Quest world created by Yuji Horii, combined with the charming characters and monsters designed by Akira Toriyama and memorable soundtrack from famed composer Koichi Sugiyama to create an unforgettable gaming experience.
Characters
Although players will make the acquaintance of many characters and monsters throughout during their travels, here are just a few of the faces they can hope to see. Young Hero (You)
As a child you discover a world filled with bizarre creatures and fantastical realms while traveling with your father. The owner of a truly pure heart, you have an unusual affinity with monsters.
Pankraz
Pankraz is your father, with whom you travel with as a boy. He has a hardened look and a talent for magic. What is the purpose of his quest? There is more to Pankraz than meets the eye.
Young Bianca
You meet young Bianca in the town of Roundbeck while traveling with your father. Bianca is one of your oldest friends and has an animated personality overflowing with curiosity.
Great Sabrecub
Saved from the hands of the town bullies as a cub by you (The Hero), this great sabrecub travels and fights by your side during his youth and will mature along with you.

Gameplay
Although Hand of the Heavenly Bride is based in standard turn-based RPG gameplay mechanics like character leveling through with increased experience points and armor and weapon equipping for use in combat, it does add something new to the Dragon Quest series, monster taming. Throughout your quests you will encounter monsters both known and new to the Dragon Quest universe. Once tamed, these can join your party, level up just like your other party members and provide valuable aid in combat.
Key Game Features:
Journey through a beautifully rendered 3D world, with dynamic dual-screen presentation and newly animated monsters.
Recruit a unique cast of Dragon Quest monsters and create an indestructible party of your own.
Brace yourself for some life-altering decision making - a key decision will affect the outcome of the game, and change the course of the hero's life forever.
Take a breather from the main quest with addicting mini-games like Bruise the Ooze, T 'n' T, the Slurpodrome, and the Tombola.
Collect and customize knick-knacks from around the Dragon Quest world to create a personalized knick-knackatory.
Use the wireless capabilities of Nintendo DS to exchange in-game creations and one-of-a-kind collection of rare items with friends.

Listening to Dan Darrah's These Games

She wants a friend
wants to mend
the broken hearts of many men

She wants to believe in the good Lord's policy
She wants to sweat, wants to bleed
wants to eventually conceive
She wants to groan and get rocked like a rolling stone

She walks the tight rope with a diamond ring
keeping two men under both her wings
and it's enough to make a grown man sing
but somehow she's not to blame

She said I cannot continue to play these games
I cannot continue to play
She said I cannot continue to play these games
I cannot continue to play these games

He wants a wife, future bride, he wants to smoke once in a while
Honesty is always his policy
He wants to play this no more, he wants to stop it's been a chore
'cause don't you see, she's playing both sides of me

She walks the tight rope with a diamond ring
keeping two men under both her wings
and it's enough to make a grown man sing
but somehow she's not to blame

He said I cannot continue to play these games
I cannot continue to play
He said I cannot continue to play these games
I cannot continue to play these games

Why don't you hang up if your happy
I'll talk to your daddy
fate has been my enemy
'cause I know you may still love me
