2* All other heroes of the ''Franchise/DragonQuest'' series are depicted wielding swords in their official art, while the main character of ''VideoGame/DragonQuestV'' wields a staff in his. his foreshadows that he's NOT the hero of his game!
3* The English translation of the first game uses YeOldeButcheredEnglish, something not used in any of the other games. Why? Well, think about what series defined video [=RPGs=] before ''Dragon Quest'' came along, and in fact, was its direct inspiration - ''VideoGame/{{Ultima}}''. And what was all the dialogue in the ''Ultima'' games written in? YeOldeButcheredEnglish. Perhaps they used it because that's what gamers were used to!
4** In this way, the use of British-based actors for the English voice acting helps to enforce the antiquated style that the original game used, only on a more Victorian-style level rather than Elizabethan.
