Dragon Quest V - Super Famicom
The hero is the son of a king and queen of the country of
Granbania. His mother died in childbirth, and shortly thereafter, his
father, Papas started to journey around the world to search for something.
You start out the game as the hero when he's 6 years old, journeying with
Papas. After a few adventures, Papas is made caretaker of Prince Henry of
Reinhart. Prince Reinhart gets kidnapped, and Papas and the hero set out to
save him. You successfully rescue Henry, but then the hero and Henry get
captured and Papas is blackmailed into not fighting while the capturer's
henchman attack and then kill him. As Papas dies, he tells the hero that
his mother is still alive.
The hero and Henry are taken as slaves to work on building a huge
palace, and are forced to do so for 10 years, after which they manage to
escape. Afterwards, the game primarily focuses on the hero trying to find
and save his mother. At one point in the game, you have to choose who to
marry out of two people, and the plot differs slightly depending on who you
choose.
