This is basically a collection of my random (and somewhat pointless) thoughts about Dragon Quest V. They don't really fit into any specific catagory.

- After you get the Gold Orb in the First Generation, Bianca doesn't part with you immediately. You know, the Gold Orb is destroyed by Gema later on, but if you gave it to Bianca, then it would be safe. Somehow, they make it so that you can't transfer the Gold Orb to Bianca. (This doesn't really matter cuz you'll get the Gold Orb eventually in the Third Generation by going back in time.) =)

- You can't beat Gema in the First Generation at around level 13 but you probably have a chance at level 50. But it'll take forever to reach level 50 by fighting those puny monsters in the area. :(

- If you revisit Reinhart in the Third Generation with your kids, they will play with Henry's son. Then they'll complain that Henry's son is missing (pretty much like the time when Henry got kidnapped in the 1st Generation.) However, if you find the exactly same spot where Henry was kidnapped, you'll find his son perfectly safe.

- The sky castle and the tower that was supposed to lead to the sky castle are practically identical to their DQ4 counterparts. DQ5 happened after DQ4 but DQ6 happened before DQ4, and the sky (zenthian) castle is common in all three games. When you enter the sky castle in DQ5 after you've beaten DQ4 before, it really brings back those memories. =)

- Metal Hunters and Killer Machines are enemies that don't really belong here in Dragon Quest. They don't really fit Dragon Quest's medieval setting.
