Dragon Quest 5

Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride is a role-playing video game, part of the Dragon Quest series. It was initially released in Japan in 1992 for the Super Famicom console. However, it didn't make its way to America due to programming challenges. The game was later remade for PlayStation 2 in 2004 (Japan only) and then for Nintendo DS in 2008 (Japan) and 2009 (worldwide). The story follows the main character's life journey from birth to marriage and family. A notable feature introduced in this game was the ability to recruit monsters to join the player's party during random encounters, a concept later seen in games like Pokémon and Digimon. Additionally, Dragon Quest V is recognized for being the first game to feature a playable pregnancy, influencing future titles like The Sims 2 and Fable II. In 2019, an animated film adaptation titled Dragon Quest: Your Story was released in Japan and later made available worldwide on Netflix.
