I've been a Dragon Warrior (Quest) fan since I was 8 years old and it first came out in 1989. It was the only game I could play for hours without a game over screen. I found the game play fun and it felt like a real adventure. I played some Dragon Warrior 3 & 4 as a kid also and really enjoyed those. Now I'm getting ready to start playing Dragon Quest V it is 17 odd years in the waiting to come to the United States with an english translation. I plan to blog about my experience after each day that I actually play to give my thoughts and insights on the game, and this entry is to provide a basis for where I'm coming from as a gamer and fan.

I finished Chrono Trigger on the DS just a couple days ago and will likely draw comparisons between the two. I currently know from the previews and reviews that in Dragon Quest V I will start out as a child adventuring with my father and will eventually set out on my own adventure and get married. I understand that I get to recruit monsters to join my party.  I will be back with more as soon as I discover it.
