The game was released in Japan in November 2002 under its regional title, Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter, and was dedicated to the memory of Capcom employee Yasuhito Okada. Some features were cut from the final version including an online mode and a fishing minigame similar to earlier titles. The dragon Odjn was originally conceived as a "cutesy" companion to Ryu and his team before becoming large and menacing, with his early design instead being used for Cupid's pet Oncotte. Story points considered too shocking were removed, including a locked room in the Biocorp Labs containing headless duplicate bodies of Nina, and Nina's surgeon's resemblance to Adolf Hitler. Ikehara wanted to include a cutscene showing how the surface world became uninhabitable, but was unable to do so. A week before the game's release in Japan, Capcom USA announced it would release Dragon Quarter in North America in February 2003. This version appeared at the 2003 Game Developers Conference under its official English title that excluded the numeral "V".

On February 16, 2016, Breath of Fire V: Dragon Quarter was released on the Japanese PlayStation Store as a "PS2 Archives" digital title for PlayStation 3. The title was delisted from the store in early 2019. Audio The music was composed by series newcomer Hitoshi Sakimoto, who had contributed soundtracks for other role-playing titles such as Final Fantasy Tactics and the Ogre Battle series, along with sound producer Yasunori Mitsuda who oversaw the development of each track.

Dragon Quarter features the vocal song "Castle・imitation" by J-pop performer Chihiro Onitsuka as the game's ending theme, which was included on her 2002 album "Sugar High". In 2006, the soundtrack was included on the 11-disc Breath of Fire Original
