The guilt-based gaming regarding the marriage in the SNES version was nothing more than a myth.
Deleted line(s) 6,7 (click to see context) :
* The whole GuiltBasedGaming in the SNES version of ''Videogame/DragonQuestV'' seems quite harsh. I mean, why does [[UnluckyChildhoodFriend Bianca]] have to [[DiabolusExMachina suffer so much]] for you to get [[SwordOfPlotAdvancement the Legendary Hero's Shield]] which can only be gotten by marrying [=Flora/Nera=]? And then it hit me. The shield, important as it is, is ultimately a ''thing''. Even though the villain is not involved at all, the whole situation can be distilled into a FriendOrIdolDecision. And in such decisions, TheHero '''[[AlwaysSaveTheGirl always chooses the girl!]]''' Which means if you don't, you're not really a true hero. [[spoiler:Well you're not anyway; that'd be your son.]]\\
Furthermore, you get the Shield anyway even if [[VictoriousChildhoodFriend you choose Bianca]], making this a SecretTestOfCharacter. But there may be even more to it than that. As I implied in the [[TearJerker/DragonQuest Tear Jerker page]], it takes a LOT of HeroicWillpower to brush aside what is essentially a guarantee that there will be a Hero soon. But: 1: It's what heroes do anyway (as previously stated) and 2: it could be a statement about ThePowerOfLove winning in the end. [[spoiler:After all, how could our Hero have known that the Zenithian bloodline ran through Bianca, who had no evidence of having it, as well as Flora/Nera, who at least possessed a Legendary Artifact.]] - Tropers/DonaldthePotholer

** 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.

* 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 - ''Franchise/{{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!
