Dragon Quest V: Difference between revisions

* [[But Thou Must!]]: Since this is from the same series as the [[Trope Namer]], it shouldn't be surprising that it appears at some point. In fact, during the childhood section Harry is meta as hell about this: the first time you talk to him, he'll ask you if you want to be his goon/lackey/etc. Refuse and he'll classically [[But Thou Must!]] you. Accept, and... he tells you to scram anyway.

** The worst one of them all is right after the first boss. He's begging for his life and forgiveness, which he doesn't deserve, seeing of course that he kept spirits from moving on for personal entertainment, and tried to have you eaten. You say no...

* [[Cap]]: Annoyingly, many monsters have a level cap lower than that of the human characters (who all can reach level 99). However, the only way to find out in-game if they've hit it is to go to a [[Save Point]] and ask how far they have until their next level. [[Guide Dang It]]!

* [[Caustic Critic]]: Third generation will spawn a knick knack critic on the top floor of the knackatory. Put any knick knack on the stand and talk to him. [[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Then party chat, and laugh.]]

** Grandmaster Nimzo is named after Aron Nimzowitsch, a Latvian-born Danish unofficial grandmaster of chess. All of Nimzo's minions are named after chess pieces.

** In one plot event, many citizens of Gotha are passed out on the floor. [[Aretha Franklin|One of them, a nun, says the following in her sleep]]:

Zzz... }}

** The Mysterious Dr Agon has many of [[The Simpsons (animation)|Ned Flanders']] verbal tics.

*** Later on, when the player actually collects the ring, the standard Get Item message box is altered slightly- instead it says "It's the Circle of Life", a line direct from the song.

** The ghostly Count Uptaten seems to enjoy imitating ''[[Sesame Street]]'''s Count von Count. Of course, [[Don't Explain the Joke|with a name like]] [[Just for Pun|Count Up-To-Ten]], it's probably expected.

** At the beginning of the game, Pankraz will suggest naming the main character Madason. If you actually choose that as your name, he will instead suggest [[Dragon Quest I|Er]][[Dragon Quest II|dri]][[Dragon Quest III|ck]].

** King Korol. [[Donkey Kong Country|Say it out loud.]]
