Dragon Warrior V has been used in the media as a reference to Dragon Quest V, and later to Dragon Quest VI. In Enix America Corporation's newsletter Warrior World, the company revealed that they had decided against releasing Dragon Quest V as Dragon Warrior V in North America, and were planning to release Dragon Quest VI as Dragon Warrior V. Since Enix America Corporation ceased operations around the same time that Dragon Quest VI was released in Japan, official localization of the SFC title never occured. The next title in the main Dragon Quest series to be released in North America was Dragon Quest VII as Dragon Warrior VII, during November 2001.

Fan translations of the SFC version of Dragon Quest V were later completed; both the DeJap/PT translation and byuu's translation were released on December 7, 2001.

In February 2009, Square Enix released the DS remake, Dragon Quest V: Hand of the Heavenly Bride, the first official release of Dragon Quest V in English.
